Chapter 8 Atletico Madrid Second Team

Update time:2013-03-03

Dick naturally didn't know that Hill and his son had already talked about his future. He walked around the training base last night and finally found a small supermarket a little outside the base. In order to save money and make it more convenient, Dick

I just bought two packs of instant noodles to fill my stomach, and then prepared for the training class the next day.

The place where Atletico Madrid's second team trains is also in their youth training camp, otherwise old Hill would not have arranged for Dick to live here - the environment of Atletico Madrid's youth training camp is still good, except for the place to live.

There are places that serve breakfast and lunch, but they don't serve dinner, so Dick searched around yesterday afternoon and couldn't find a place to eat.

Early the next morning, before eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door of Dick's apartment. Fortunately, Dick went to bed relatively early yesterday and got up at about seven o'clock. At this time, he was brushing his teeth and washing his face when he heard someone

Knocking on the door, Dick opened the door with his toothbrush in his mouth full of foam, and then he saw little Hill standing in front of his door...

"Sorry, Mr. Hill."

After greeting Little Hill vaguely, Dick ran back to the bathroom as fast as he could. After rinsing off the toothpaste, Dick walked out: "Mr. Little Hill, what's going on so early?

"

Hill shrugged his shoulders: "Let me take you to familiarize yourself with the youth training camp, and introduce you to your colleagues and players... In two days, there will be a round of the Spanish League, and we are all looking forward to seeing you.

What are the results of leading the team?"

"It's actually two days later? So soon?" Dick was a little stupid, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he nodded calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Hill... I will follow you right away."

Quickly putting on his own outfit, Dick looked at himself. He was dressed in a very ordinary outfit, but it was still clean. He washed his clothes before going to bed yesterday. Fortunately, Madrid in October

The weather is still very hot, so it will be better if you let it dry overnight.

"Just call me Miguel." Little Hill nodded to him, and then started to take him around the training base: "This is the canteen, you can have breakfast and lunch here..."

Just as he was speaking halfway, Little Hill saw Dick running into the cafeteria like a whirlwind. The next moment, he grabbed a sandwich in one hand and walked out while chewing it - the two packs of instant noodles yesterday were not there.

Filling his belly, Dick felt like he could swallow a horse when he woke up in the morning.

Little Hill stared dumbfoundedly at Dick who was reincarnated like a starving ghost, and then saw the aunt in charge of the cafeteria running out with her fat belly, shouting as she ran: "Where is this homeless man from?"

Come here and grab a sandwich to eat..."

After all the talk, Little Hill told Aunt Theresa that this was not a homeless man, but the new head coach of the second team...

In the meantime Dick had finished both sandwiches and then burped loudly.

"Aunt Theresa, do you have anything to drink?" Dick asked casually.

The next moment, Dick was sucking a box of yogurt and continuing to follow Little Hill.

Little Hill was quite speechless as he continued to introduce the environment of the youth training camp to Dick. However, in Dick's opinion, this youth training camp was really not that good. In addition to having a place to live and a place to eat, it actually didn't even have a dedicated

There is no one in charge of washing clothes. Dick knows that in the youth training camps of Barcelona and Real Madrid, in the youth teams over the age of 17, there are dedicated people responsible for managing the jerseys and shoes of young players, so that the children can only

It requires training and no need to be distracted by other things.

However, there are only a few wealthy teams that can do this now.

After walking around for a while, Xiao Hill took Dick to the training ground of the second team. By this time, several people were already waiting on the training ground.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Ke Di, the new head coach of the second team. He will become your colleague from now on."

Little Hill first introduced Dick to several assistant coaches of the second team, and then began to introduce Dick to his next colleagues one by one.

"This is Julio Ortega, the goalkeeper coach of the second team." Ortega is an older assistant coach, with frost-white temples and a kind smile on his face.

"This is Juan Cabello, the physical coach of the second team." Cabello is much younger than Ortega. He is tall and strong, but he also seems to be very kind to Dick - which is also true.

The reason is that for goalkeeper coaches and physical fitness coaches, it is impossible for them to become head coaches. Whoever becomes the head coach is the same. The second team and the first team are different. Some famous coaches will lead their own teams.

, for example, after the goalkeeper coach and physical coach come, the original goalkeeper coach and physical coach will be kicked out, but the second team will not have such a problem.

The next person will not be so kind.

"This is Robert Simon Marriner, the assistant coach in charge of training for the second team, and will also be your assistant."

Perhaps it was Dick's misunderstanding, but when Little Hill introduced his future assistant, he emphasized the word "training"...

"Hello, Mr. Marriner." When Dick shook hands with this assistant coach in his early forties, who had an average build and average appearance, he immediately felt something different.

"Mr. Di is really young and promising. It seems that we have to see how good Mr. Di is next." Marina said in a very flat tone, making Dick unclear whether he was mocking himself or praising him.

Own……

"Easy to say, easy to say." Dick could only say haha.

Little Hill smiled slightly at the side, and then said: "The players will be coming out soon. Robert, please introduce the current situation of the team to Di. The next league round is only a few days away. This game

, but we can’t lose.”

After saying that, Little Hill left, leaving Dick on the training field, staring at each other with the three assistant coaches...

"Di, do you only speak English?" Cabello asked Dick, and Dick nodded: "You can only speak English for the time being, but I already have a plan to learn Spanish. When this period of time passes,

After that, I will look for a Spanish tutor.”

"Fortunately, most of the players on the second team can speak English, so communication should be no problem." Ortega said with a smile.

"Di, let me introduce you to the situation of the second team." Marriner said to Dick: "The second team now has twenty-four players. We have played seven league games and the results are one win and two draws.

Four losses... We are ranked 18th in points, only one step away from the relegation zone, so it is very difficult for us now. Last season we finished second in La Liga, but this season we have dropped to this level.

, Now the second team is also under a lot of pressure..."

Marriner carefully told Dick about the current situation of the second team. It was obvious that although the assistant coach was not very friendly to Dick, he also explained to him very carefully that Dick also knew about this kind of thing.

It's very important. Yesterday he was too tired, so he went to bed very early and didn't even have time to look at the information of the second team players carefully. Now it is necessary to listen to what Marriner said.

Then he heard a very familiar name.

"Fernando Torres is the top star of our team. He performed very well in the youth team last season, but after he entered the second team this season, he seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck. In seven league games, he has not scored a single goal.

He didn’t make it. He usually trains very hard, and I don’t know what’s going on..."

Torres? Atletico Madrid's golden boy is still playing in the second team... But think about it, Torres is only in his early sixteen years, and he is already very talented to be in the second team.

Dick sighed in his heart, and then said casually: "Since it has nothing to do with training, it is a matter of tactics... In my hands, he will perform at his top level."

What Dick didn't notice was that after saying these words, Marriner's expression changed a bit - Dick's words were obviously saying that his predecessor would not use Torres, and his former head coach Yaro,

He is a friend who has a very good relationship with Marriner - they were both players of Atletico Madrid and have played for Atletico Madrid all their lives. Marriner's performance as a player is better, and he has been selected for the Spanish national team once.

It's worse, but he is better at coaching. Marriner is also willing to be Yarrow's assistant. As a result, the poor results this season put Yarrow under a lot of pressure, so much so that he fell ill.——Marina

The previous dissatisfaction was not actually against Dick, but the dissatisfaction caused by the management's easy resignation of Yaro, but now, Marriner's dissatisfaction has begun to be directed against Dick...

You actually said that about Yaro! Let me see what a young boy like you can do!

Dick naturally didn't know that he had offended the next assistant with just one sentence. He was still listening to Marina's story and thinking about how to lead the team to victory next.

Dick was not familiar with the names of the other Atletico Madrid second team players at all, which meant that there were no outstanding players among them. However, in Dick's view, with a future top forward like Torres, as long as all the players

If the team plays around him, then even if it cannot achieve very good results, at least relegation will be no problem, so what do you have to worry about?

In Dick's view, Torres's performance in the second team this season was mediocre, just because he has not adapted to the second team's game yet - you must know that the second team plays a game in the Spanish Second Division, which is only one step away from the real top professional league.

Yao, naturally not a player who only plays in the youth team can adapt quickly, but Dick believes that Torres has the ability to perform well in La Liga, just let him quickly adapt to La Liga - as long as this problem can be solved, let this

The future Atletico Madrid golden boy performed well and Dick didn't think it would be too difficult.

Marriner's introduction ended quickly, because at this time, the players from the second team had already walked into the training ground to prepare for today's training.

Dick soon noticed Torres who was surrounded by his teammates - a young, immature Torres with a lot of freckles on his face and a shy smile like a little girl...

"You are truly worthy of being called a girl. No wonder in the photos of later generations of photoshopped football stars into girls, the one who looks most like a girl is Torres. Such a handsome young man, tsk tsk..."

With a lustful smile on his face, Dick looked at Torres in the crowd. As for the other members of Atletico Madrid's second team, Dick simply ignored them - they were just a group of passers-by. What was there to look at?

Only Torres will be the guarantee for my future results!

At this time, the players of the second team also saw a young man in his early twenties standing with three assistant coaches. Many people looked at Dick in confusion, wondering what this Oriental man was doing...
