The final result of this game was 3-0, Atletico Madrid eliminated Slovenian team Ljubljana with an aggregate score of 4-0 and successfully entered the second round of the UEFA Cup. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

"It's no wonder that the League Cup is not in the spotlight, there are too many teams like this in the first few rounds, Graz AK is okay, but Austria's football level is still good, if they meet a Cypriot team or something, they may not be as strong as the Spanish second division team. Or is the Champions Cup more attractive, at least from the group stage, there will be a lot of interesting games......"

Dick thought to himself after knowing the next opponent in the locker room.

However, the two-legged second round will be played at the end of October and the beginning of November, and Dick will not need to think about the UEFA Cup for the time being, but will focus on another matter.

"Fernando, I was supposed to take you to the press conference today...... But I'm not going to take you there, do you know why? Dick pulled Torres aside in the locker room and said to him.

Torres was not a fool, he naturally knew that Dick had his intentions in saying this to him, and after thinking about it, he understood what Dick meant: "Boss, do you mean that you don't want me to be pressured by the media too early?" ”

Dick noticed that he was using pressure instead of attention, which brought a smile on his face: "Very well, Fernando, I think you already know what I mean...... Appearing in flash doesn't just bring exposure and fame, it also brings a lot of extra things that aren't necessarily good for you. For example, all kinds of temptations, such as those agents will be around you like a shark that has seen blood, and use all kinds of rhetoric to make you believe them, such as those who have not yet become famous, and they will try their best to pounce on you...... These temptations are real, in fact, even if I want to protect you, it will not last long, and if you can understand them for yourself, you will be able to face them better in the future. ”

Dick felt that his words were quite moving, and Torres must have looked at him with gratitude...... But what's the matter with this kid? Why are you looking at me with a strange look? Hey, hey, what's that expression!

Dick looked at Torres rather strangely, and then he knew why Torres had such an expression: "Boss, you said that there will be a little star who has not become famous and will find a way to pounce on us people...... But Canadas isn't a star, why ...... it?"

"You stinky boy!"

Dick looked at Torres with a smile and a smile, and then found that he really couldn't explain anything to this precocious boy, so he didn't explain, and directly put Torres under his armpit with one arm: "Bastard boy, let you smell your Uncle Dick's armpits!" Okay, it looks like you're ready, I've changed my mind now, I'll take you to the press conference...... It probably doesn't hurt to face it early. ”

Torres straightened his hair messed up by Dick and nodded.

"Let's go, Fernando, Uncle will take you to see ...... Oh no, go to the press conference. Dick snapped his fingers and walked out first, Torres obediently following Dick.

The rest of Atletico's players, who had seen all of this, began to look a little weird, and they began to think that Dick seemed to be too nice to Torres at times - if they hadn't known that Dick was in a hot fight with Cannadas right now, and that it was obviously not a man with abnormal sexual orientation, maybe they would have thought about it.

In fact, how could they know how excited an ordinary fan who once regarded Torres as his idol in his previous life would be to be able to see Torres' growth process with his own eyes after being reborn......

"Alright, everyone pack up their things and get ready to go back!" Marriner coughed, then slapped hard and said.

The players in the dressing room answered and went about their business, by which time Dick had led Torres into the inner passage of the Calderón Stadium.

"Well, Fernando, I remember the first time I was in charge of Atletico Madrid's second team, and I took you to the press conference after that game, right?" As he walked, Dick said thoughtfully.

"Yes...... I scored my first hat-trick in the professional game that fight...... Boss, to be honest, I was really surprised when you told me I could score at least two goals. Torres also remembered what happened this time last year, and he couldn't help but laugh slightly.

"I'm amazed that you were able to score a hat-trick." Dick laughed out loud as he used up two senior goal cards in that game, and Torres scored three goals, which was really something he didn't expect.

"At that time, you were able to score three goals because your ability has exceeded the level of La Liga, and I just let your existing strength play to the fullest." After laughing, Dick said to Torres seriously: "It's just that La Liga is still a little bit worse for you, you have excellent talent, there is no doubt about it, but there will be a big difference between the top league and the games you played before." You're young, you're only seventeen, you've got a lot of opportunities to work out, so don't worry because you need more reinforcement and Atletico aren't at the point where they need a young player like you to save the club...... When you get used to the rhythm of La Liga, become physically stronger and more experienced, who else can you rely on if you don't rely on Atletico's future? ”

Dick's words are sincere, Torres began to play in Atletico Madrid at the age of eighteen, and became the captain of Atletico Madrid at the age of nineteen, although he grew up rapidly, but also left him with hidden dangers, so that he stagnate in basic skills and some other areas where he can improve, and his state began to deteriorate at the age of twenty-seven, and this is also a big reason.

It's not for nothing that players who rise to fame as teenagers tend to decline earlier than their peers, while players who become late bloomers tend to be able to extend their careers longer.

Listening to Dick's words, Torres nodded, he was also very clear about this, after all, in the first team's intra-team training matches, he had already felt the ability of the top players, and this was only in training, if it was in the game, the pressure he felt might be greater, and Dick's approach was actually protecting him.

"Coming to the first team earlier than in history, but taking on the responsibility later than in history, this approach should allow Torres to build a little thicker foundation and more capital in the future......" Dick thought to himself as he looked at Torres' young face.

Torres is the banner of Atletico Madrid in the future, this banner has a good relationship with himself, then his position in Atletico Madrid will naturally be more stable, he is very yearning for a manager like Ferguson, coaching in a club for more than 20 or 30 years, so that the whole club has a deep imprint on himself, people will talk about this club will talk about this manager, and they don't even know who the chairman is...... The coach has done this kind of thing, and it can be regarded as a bull fork!

Although the elder Hill probably won't be happy with him forever, there are other ways, such as becoming one of Atletico's shareholders...... Didn't Arsene Wenger do that? It's just that it's a little too early to think about it.

"Fernando, I'm going to teach you a lesson today and see how I deal with those journalists."

While thinking about it, Dick led Torres to the press conference, and he smiled and said to Torres before entering the hall.

This game was originally an unremarkable game, and it stands to reason that there should not be too many reporters to pay attention to, but because of Torres's goal, many reporters came here temporarily after hearing the news, just to interview Torres and see what he thinks about his first goal in the first team of Atletico Madrid!

But the reporters waiting in the press conference hall were also a little apprehensive, for fear that Dick, a guy who played his cards out of the ordinary, would not bring Torres to the press conference - in a way, they knew Dick well......

So when Dick and Torres appeared at the press conference, the scene was quiet for a while, and then immediately burst into a storm of applause!

Of course, this applause was not for Dick, but the reporters themselves did not know who it was for—after the applause gradually subsided, the reporters looked at each other in amazement—why did they feel so excited? It's like a courtier seeing the emperor generously open the treasury to them......

The reporters didn't have time to think about it, because Dick had already pulled Torres to his seat, and it was time to ask questions.

"There are so many people today......

After sitting down, Dick looked at the reporters meaningfully and said, "I know why you're here...... Because Fernando Torres scored and scored in Europe, it was his first competitive goal in the Atletico first team...... But what's so rare about this? With Torres' ability and talent, it will only be a matter of time before it does. Because he's a genius, there's no doubt about it, he's a very talented player, and this goal is just the first, definitely not the last, so you don't have to get so excited, because then, Torres will use ten, hundred, two hundred goals to dumb you out, to numb you...... One day, Torres scoring a goal will not be news, he will not score in any game will be news, so I hope you don't bother him too much and let him grow quietly. How to train Torres out, I already have a good draft in my heart, so you guys don't come to make trouble, understand? ”

"We're not here to make trouble!" Some reporters shouted dissatisfiedly.

"I know you're not trying to make a mess, but the development of young players in modern football has a whole new problem, and that is how to keep young players from being distracted too much until they mature......

Dick began to talk to the reporters about a lesson called "How to Grow a Genius in the New Age", and under the stunned eyes of the reporters, he continued to speak for half an hour, and only after the minimum time stipulated for the press conference had arrived, did he smile slyly: "Well, gentlemen, the time for the press conference has come...... So far, you haven't raised any questions, it seems that there are no problems, so...... Good bye! ”

After saying this, Dick pulled the snickering Torres and quickly left the scene of the press conference, leaving only a group of stunned reporters.

"This bastard...... We don't have any questions to ask, did you give us a chance to talk? A reporter stroked his forehead and groaned......
