April 16, Calderón Stadium!

This stadium is not the first stadium used by Atletico Madrid, but it is the one that hosted one of Atletico's most glorious periods, in which Atletico won four league titles, six Copa del Rey titles, one Champions Cup runner-up, one Intercontinental Cup (as runners-up) and one European Cup Winners' Cup runner-up......

Originally named Stadio Manzanares because it is located on the banks of the Manzanares River in the southwest of Madrid, it was renamed Stade Calderón in 1971 in honor of the greatest president in the history of the Atletico Madrid club, Vicente Calderón – a common thing in Spain, to name the stadium after people, Real Madrid's Stadio Bernabeu was named in honor of Santiago Bernabéu.

For this stadium, Atletico Madrid fans are extremely proud, but this season's results of Atletico Madrid make them quite anxious, if they have not thought that Atletico Madrid may be relegated, then now Atletico Madrid's situation has made them clear one thing - that is, if no miracle happens, Atletico Madrid may be relegated to the second division in history!

At this time, Hill appointed Dick, the head coach of the second team, as the interim coach, to be honest, this appointment can be regarded as decent, even if Dick is only twenty-one years old, even if he is a Chinese, but in this situation, only he, the head coach of the second team, can come to put out the fire, not to mention that Dick is really good in the second team.

Most Atletico Madrid fans watched Dick's entry into ownership with a "delusional" mentality, but what did this guy do after taking office? Immediately take down the prince in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans! Holy shit, when Kiko helped us win the double, you bastard was still breastfeeding!

After the media revealed that Kiko had been taken down from the main lineup by Dick, Atletico Madrid fans immediately had a strong dissatisfaction, although some fans felt that Kiko's form had declined greatly in the past two years, but after all, Kiko is one of the favorite players of Atletico Madrid fans.

Dick is not unclear about the consequences of doing this, but he knows that now Atletico Madrid is the last chance in these six games, and he is not allowed to adjust slowly, although Atletico is now a seriously ill patient, and taking strong drugs may make him sicker, but now Atletico is not only a seriously ill patient, but also a seriously ill patient who has not been around for a long time, even if it is morphine, he has to use it.

If Kiko is only in poor form because of team tactics and other reasons, Dick may have the patience to stimulate his state, but he clearly knows that Kiko in history, he went to La Liga next season without scoring a goal, and then retired two years later, obviously it is no longer usable, and he is still wasting time on him - not to mention that Dick has no time to waste now, even if he has time, he can't waste it like this!

While riding the bus with the team to Calderón Stadium, Dick saw a large number of Atletico fans surrounding the entrance of the stadium, holding banners that read "We want Kiko, not Chinese" to demonstrate to Dick.

Many Atletico Madrid players also saw such banners, and they couldn't help but glance at Dick, whose expression was calm, as if he hadn't seen it, while Kiko rested his hand on his chin and looked out the window, calm as water.

In such silence, the players stepped out of the bus and walked to the dressing room.

Dick was the last to come in - looking at the group of professional players in front of him, Dick also felt a little complacent in his heart - after being reborn for more than half a year, he was able to face a group of top players in command, no wonder Dick felt complacent.

It's just that this feeling is only a momentary thing, Dick clearly knows that all this in front of him is just a flash in the pan - all his power comes from Hill's temporary given, if he can't lead the team to complete the task of relegation, I'm afraid he won't even be able to go back to the second team, any second team head coach, entering the first team is an opportunity and a gamble, lost, even going back to be the head coach of the second team has no hope, can only change places, start from scratch.

This is something Dick can't bear, in order to achieve the goal of leading Atletico Madrid to relegation, he will do anything, no matter who stands in front of him, he will kick the opponent away!

After composing himself, Dick began to speak.

He didn't talk about motivating the players – it was whimsical because Dick had been half threatening and half luring to quiet the team, and it would be a joke to say how convinced the players were.

No matter how impassioned you say, you also need the players to respond, and if the players are lazy one by one, it will hurt morale.

"In the past few days of training, you should be clear, how to play on the field, just follow the tactics arranged on the training ground. Now that you know the situation at Atletico, I won't talk nonsense, to win this game, we can win the future...... If everyone does their best, the responsibility is mine, if everyone doesn't do their best......"

Dick didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was strong.

The players were silent, and Dick knew that most of the players were not convinced, but they could hold it down for the time being.

"Let's go!"

After a simple sentence, the players of Atletico Madrid walked out of the locker room under the leadership of captain Aguilera - originally Atletico Madrid's captain was Kiko, but he is now playing as a substitute, and the captain is naturally the second captain Aguilera, Aguilera is from the Atletico Madrid academy, that is, he transferred and left for three years, and the rest of the time has been playing for Atletico Madrid.

After the players walked out of the locker room, Dick smoked a cigarette and then vigorously stomped on the cigarette butt to extinguish it, then patted the cigarette ash on his body and strode out of the locker room.

Walking through the long passage of Calderón Stadium, Dick heard a tidal wave of cheers from the stands as the light appeared in front of him.

The Calderón Stadium has a capacity of 54,000 people, and although Atletico Madrid is now in the relegation zone, Atletico Madrid fans have not given up, and the entire stadium is still full, with countless Atletico fans shouting from the stands to express their support for the club at this critical moment.

This scene is of course very warm, after the relegation of Atletico Madrid in history, thousands of Atletico Madrid fans lit lighters and walked around the Calderón stadium sadly for several laps, this is the essence of a strong team, they are indispensable at all times.

However, when Dick appeared outside the players' tunnel, the entire Calderon stadium first quieted down, and then several stands began to burst out boos at the same time, these stands were all stands with the banner "We want Kiko not Chinese", and most of the other stands chose to be silent and cold bystanders, obviously Dick's move was unpopular.

Dick was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect the fans to start booing him before the game even started......

"Atletico Madrid's new manager doesn't seem to be popular...... the commentator of Spanish national television couldn't help but say: "But it's no wonder that Atletico Madrid didn't have Kiko in the starting lineup today, Kiko appeared on the bench, it seems that the thing that Dick took Kiko from the starting lineup as soon as he took over is not groundless." Even if he had a reason to do so, it would be a little too reckless to do it directly. ”

Dick's face changed slightly amid the boos, and then he strode to the home team's dugout.

Before sitting down, Dick burst out laughing, then turned to make a "V" gesture to one of the stands with the loudest boos......

"This bastard!" Many fans who often watch Atletico Madrid's second team games scolded loudly - do you think they are still playing La B? If you can still win this time, then I won't scold you!

Those who understand the meaning of Dick's gesture, naturally there are fans who don't know what Dick means if they don't watch the second team game, and they all began to ask their friends curiously when they saw this, and soon, all Atletico Madrid fans knew that Dick made this gesture, which means that he has won the game and wants to win this game!

"No kidding, you can win if you win? Then Atletico Madrid won't be like this this season! "A lot of Atletico fans are thinking like that, and at the same time, they also think that Dick seems to be doing what he says he will do in La Liga......

If you can win, it means that this guy does have some ability, then let's see if you have the ability, whether there is a reason to win Kiko or nonsense, if it is the former, we will support you, and if it is the latter, don't blame us for booing you from beginning to end!

In fact, this is also the idea of most Atletico Madrid fans, after all, they are fans of Atletico Madrid, not fans of a certain player, Kiko has not performed as well as in previous seasons in recent years, and now they have despaired of Atletico's future this season, Dick's move to win Kiko after taking office is not liked by them, but it is also a sign of change......

They are now regarded as dead horses as live horse doctors, hoping that Dick can create a miracle, even if it is just a glimmer of hope, they have to pin on Dick.

Of course, there are a small part, those are Kiko's diehards, the kind that belongs to Kiko's brainless fans, basically Kiko's poor performance before, they will think that it is the coach's tactical problem rather than Kiko's ability problem, Kiko's pass teammates did not score, it is his teammates' footwork that is not well mastered, teammates pass Kiko did not score, it is his teammates who pass badly, in short, Kiko is good, and the bad ones are others - now Dick has moved the saint in their minds as soon as he comes, and this is okay!

The protests near Atletico Madrid are basically the "Kiko Guards", and for Dick, these fans are not what he wants to fight for - brain-dead fans are the most unreasonable creatures in the world!

Malaga manager Juan Pedro has watched Atletico fans get into trouble with their interim manager - this is of course good news for Malaga, although Malaga is now considered desireless, for Pedro, who led the team to promotion last season, and this season led Malaga to the ranks of the relegation team, and now if he can win again against the down-and-out Atletico Madrid, it will be able to secure his position and make his reputation even bigger!

He also sent all the main forces in his hands in this game, even if there was no real benefit in this game, he had to fight for victory to establish his position!
