Chapter 015: Simeone is here!
Turan still had wine stains on his beard, Ding Yue shook his head and smiled, and turned off the light.
Out of the door, Falcao stood outside the door, without a hint of drunkenness.
"Who your source is, I don't want to know. Falcao leaned against the threshold, his eyes were no longer hazy when he was eating and drinking just now, and asked Ding Yue with a straight face: "Hurry up, is it Benitez or Simone." β
". Simeone!"
Falcao slowly turned around and made a gesture to celebrate the goal!
"Wha! I knew that this old bandit actually lied to me!"
What the hell?
"Are you in touch with Simeone?" Ding Yue wondered.
Falcao turned around, raised his eyebrows, patted Ding Yue's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Are you my friend or not?" I played under this old rascal in '08 and we won the Argentine league title that year. β
After speaking, he shook his head to express his contempt for Ding Yue.
A flash of lightning flashed through Ding Yue's mind. Ma Maipi, there is still this kind of operation? Have you cooperated? Ding Yue only remembered that after Simone came, Falcao began to kill all sides, but....these two actually cooperated when they were in River Plate?
Earth is truly a village.
Ding Yue had to sigh like this.
"So, you're about to start reaching the pinnacle of life?"
While walking downstairs with Falcao, Ding Yue chatted with Falcao about Simeone.
"It's not just me, brother. You and Turan are going to walk the road too. Falcao went downstairs and found a cup in the wine cabinet, but walked past the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water, and walked to the large sofa in the living room and sat down.
"How?"
"The most important thing is that he doesn't choose the starting line-up based on the player's reputation. Falcao found a comfortable position and collapsed.
"Oh?" Ding Yue sat up straight. It was the first time he had heard someone Simeone work with talk about the legendary coach, and he was naturally curious.
"You could say he's nepotistic, but he's not. Falcao said, taking a sip of water.
Ding Yue was a little anxious, "You continue." β
Falcao smiled indifferently, "The one who is willing to work for him, brother, I tell you, will definitely be used under his hands." Of course, the premise is that you have to have some material too. β
Ding Yue nodded, the person who is a confidant dies, that's it.
"If only he had come. Really, although he is not well-known as a coach in Europe, I believe that he will definitely become a great coach because he has the determination and ability!" Falcao drained the whole glass of water, ignored what Ding Yue wanted to ask, staggered upstairs, chose a room and lay on the bed.
It seems that I haven't drunk too much. However, Simeone... After Falcao talked about this, Ding Yue couldn't wait!
On a flight from Buenos Celis to Madrid.
Simeone, smiling and dressed in black, sits there like an Argentine Marlon brando.
Flipping through the player information of Atletico Madrid, Simon's smiling face gradually became gloomy, and his brows were tightly locked. It's an opportunity, it's a thorny adventure.
After 16 rounds, Atletico Madrid won 6, drew 3 and lost 7! This is closer than separating the relegation zone than the area from the European Champions League, and the chairman promised on the phone that he would not put too much pressure on him, and the only theme this season is relegation.
In 9497, Simeone used to be Atletico Madrid's main midfielder, and when Atletico Madrid won the La Liga and Copa del Rey double in the 9596 season, Simeone was once regarded as the best midfielder in the Iberian Peninsula.
Every team will have its lows, but when it is underestimated, someone will go up, up, and lift the team out of the abyss.
Simeone has such beliefs and **.
Players?
Simeone looked through Atletico's roster of players. Truth be told, it's not bad, and I don't know how Manzano managed to make this good hand like this.
Simeone smiled wryly, he was also sad that Atletico Madrid had fallen into this, but if Manzano didn't mess around like this, he wouldn't have a chance.
The plane finally landed on the ground in Madrid. Simeone took a deep breath of the air of the Iberian Peninsula... I'm back again!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ding Yue has been paying attention to Simeone's news.
On December 25th, Simeone should have arrived.
Sure enough, as the chairman held a press conference to announce Manzano's resignation, the news of Simeone's appointment came as a surprise to most people.
Although in South America, Simeone has already won several championships, but in Europe, this guy is a real rookie!
Can he do it?
Everyone has this question.
But Atletico Madrid fans still have enough respect for the team's past exploits.
Several die-hard Atletico fan groups have issued slogans to welcome Simeone, which is a good start for Simeone.
On the 26th, Simeone came to the training ground.
With a beard on his face and piercing eyes, looking at you as if there was an invisible aura enveloping you, all the Atletico players were stunned by the new coach all morning.
Take the lead big brother.
Such words appeared in Ding Yue's heart. Simeone didn't give everyone instructions or technical and tactical instructions at the beginning, he only left one sentence, "The game has to be played one game at a time, and I ask you to fight one game at a time! β
On January 3, Simeone held his first press conference at Atletico Madrid.
Finding the foundation of victory in history is something that a team with a great history knows how to do. Just like Barcelona at the moment, whether it is the former technical director Begiristan, the youth director Aleshenko, or the current manager Pep Guardiola and technical director Subisareta, they all come from the last successful dream team era of Barcelona.
Now Atletico Madrid are doing the same, as the leader of the 199596 double, Argentine Simeone returned as coach and rekindled the hope and enthusiasm of the fans, Simeone was also the last of the four midfielders of the double team to return to Atletico, the other three, Caminero is the general manager of Atletico, Pantic is the youth director and second team manager, and Biscaino remains as Simeone's assistant.
Atletico Madrid's president, Cerezo, sat in the middle of the press conference, his face solemn but still squeezing out a smile.
This is his last hole card.
The first reporter's question was merciless.
"Aren't you afraid of Atletico's habit of self-destruction and devouring the coach's ability in recent years?"
Pulling the microphone, Simone paused, and said word by word: "Life is a challenge for me, and I am not interested in simple things." When I became a coach, I made a lot of choices that others didn't think were appropriate. When I retired from AtlΓ©tico Argentina and got the opportunity to be a manager, everyone said you and I had no experience, but I decided to give it a try. Then I went to Collegiate, and it was a championship team, but everyone said I wasn't ready to lead a strong team, and we won the championship. Later, before I went to River Plate, people said that it was a century-old giant, and I couldn't do it yet, but I went and won the championship. I've always done things that people are against, and that makes me feel motivated. β
Cerezo really laughed this time. What he needs is such a person, such a Simeone, to save this Atletico Madrid team that looks in tatters.
