Chapter 9: The Troubled Marriner

"Hello everyone, I'm your new head coach, Ke Di, you can just call me Di, or call me Boss, whatever. In the coming time, I will lead you to the league in La Liga, and I hope we can have a good time working together. ”

After all the players of Atletico Madrid's second team stood in front of Dick, Dick said a few words, and then waved his hand: "Let's start training now, as before, do whatever you need to do, and then I will arrange the tactics and starting lineup of the game according to your state, understand?" ”

"Understood."

The crowd replied a few times, and then Marriner shouted from the side: "Alright, start training!" Same as usual! ”

It is clear that Marina's prestige is much greater than Dick's, and after shouting this voice, the players of Atletico Madrid's second team answered in unison, and then dispersed to start today's training under the leadership of physical coach Cabello.

Seeing this scene, Dick pouted, but he didn't particularly care, after all, he was an airborne trooper, no lineage and no precipitation, it would be strange that there would be prestige, but in the football circle, it is based on strength to speak, leading the team to win a few games when the team needs to be relegated, and the prestige will naturally come - players will only like the head coach who can lead them to victory, it is the same everywhere.

After the physical trainer Cabello led the players to run laps, he began detailed tactical training, before the training began, Marriner first looked at Dick, and Dick raised his chin quietly: "You take them to train first, this is your job." ”

Marriner was choked by Dick's words, but he didn't say anything, but began to arrange tactical training - I have to say that Marriner is a very talented person, at least he is still very capable in training, and soon he arranged everyone's tactical training, including technical training in the morning and confrontation training in the afternoon, all arranged properly.

"It seems that the good results of the Atletico Madrid youth team in the past two years have a lot to do with this top training assistant coach, and it is better to have a better relationship with him next." Dick thought as he watched the training, touching his chin.

"Di, what do you think of my training arrangement?"

Marriner asked Dick, who nodded, "Very good, Robert, I think with your training level, you can be qualified as an assistant coach in a top team, it's really strange why you didn't make it to the first team." ”

Dick said this very sincerely, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, he was able to arrange training quickly, and let everyone have something to do, and the training was very targeted, although Dick didn't know what kind of level it was in the whole of Europe, at least it would not be bad.

Who knew that when it came to this, Marrina didn't speak, but Cabello next to him said indignantly: "Isn't it all because of those two Italian coaches?" Originally, I was part of the first team coaching staff with Robert and Julio, but as soon as Sacchi came and took his coaching staff with him, we went back to the second team, and now this Ranieri is the same, I don't think those Italian coaches can be any better than us! ”

"Those Italians are still very good, and besides, I'm doing well in the second team." Marrina said with a wave of his hand.

Hearing this, Dick knew it - it turned out that these three guys were originally members of the coaching staff of the first team, but after Sacchi took over last season, the Italian coach naturally had his own set of team, and Ranieri, who coached this season, was also the Italian head coach who coached abroad for a period of time, and also had his own team, so these three guys could only helplessly continue to stay in the second team.

"Well, this bridge seems to be very familiar, it often appears in historical texts, the wandering protagonist comes to a village where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon comes, and there will be several outstanding civil and military generals in it, who will become the protagonist's team......"

Dick touched his chin and thought, but didn't notice that Marriner was already looking at him strangely, and after the morning training, Marriner finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Coach, don't you give your own instructions about training at all?" ”

This is the strangest thing that makes Marriner, he has not heard of Dick being kicked out of Barcelona because he can't train, so he wonders why Dick didn't even make a comment in the first half of training - because even if it is a newcomer, even if the training content of the players is already excellent, as a professional manager, he should have his own guidance and judgment......

Dick, however, answered him directly.

"Training? I won't train. I'm a manager, training isn't my specialty, I'm in charge, it's just leading the team to play and winning, that's all. ”

This sentence immediately stunned a traditional coach Marrina - he could not agree with such a statement at all, for five years before Sacchi's arrival, he was an assistant coach of Atletico Madrid, and went through four managers: Francisco Maratuna, Jorge Dalessandro, Alfio Basile and Radomir Antici, all four managers are very concerned about training and are also managers who are very good at training, and Marrina has learned a lot from them. And now this young man says that he does not need to be in charge of training, only in charge of leading the team to play!

Looking at the three assistant coaches with a surprised face, Dick shrugged his shoulders: "What's wrong with you guys?" Why are you all weird about this? In my opinion, it's a good thing that the manager will be in charge of training, but even if you don't train, it doesn't affect anything. After all, his most important task is to play, not anything else...... I also had training sessions in the coaching courses I studied, but I didn't learn them well. I'm more used to leading the team to victory and directing the players to play – does a manager have to be able to train? Who dictates this? Who says a manager has to be able to train? God? ”

This flurry of words finally woke up the three assistant coaches, and Marriner swallowed a mouthful of spit, then shook his head and said, "I can't agree with such words......"

"It's your business to agree or not, and I'll prove it with a victory in the game." Dick dropped the sentence and walked away.

He wants to be anxious to take a closer look at the player's information, just now in the morning training he just observed the state of the players, to see if their movements are flexible or not, whether the physical condition is good, as for the rest of the situation, he is ignorant of anything, now to make up the information of the players, and then look at the confrontation between the two sides in the afternoon, it should be clear which players play what position.

The following afternoon, Dick continued to watch his players perform in the game, and Torres was naturally the one who performed the best, in fact, Torres is already the number one player in Atletico's second team at the age of seventeen, his speed, technique, power and impact are top-notch, and all he lacks is some experience.

The performance of other players is more average, Dick just matches most of the players according to the name and information, such as the 20-year-old local central defender Gaspar, who is the captain of the second team, has been performing well, and is likely to be transferred to the first team, 18-year-old local left-back Oates, 21-year-old local defender David Cupino, 18-year-old central defender Mariano, 22-year-old local striker Zasinos, and 19-year-old Senegalese defender Lima is the only foreign aid in the second team. Nineteen-year-old homegrown midfielder Carlos, 20-year-old right-back Elbari, 17-year-old right-winger Domingo and the oldest in the second team, 23-year-old goalkeeper Sergio Sanchez......

Of course, there is also Fernando Torres, who is not yet 17 years old, but has already performed extremely well in the youth team, and is known as being able to become the second Raul.

These people are basically the main lineup of Atletico Madrid, and they are also the main lineup that only won one game in the previous seven rounds of the league, and the former head coach Yarrow is used to using the tactics of 442 parallel, and these eleven people are the main team of Atletico Madrid before.

Dick didn't have any ideas about this lineup, after all, the lineup left by his predecessor was already very mature, and he was not familiar with other players when he first arrived, and he couldn't make any changes - Dick had seen the previous game record at noon, although Atletico Madrid II team lost four games, but two games were only a small one-goal defeat, including the away loss to the later La Liga team Osasuna, proving that the strength of this team is still very strong, as long as one or two wins, it can inspire the team's state……

What's more, I still have a big killer! Wouldn't it be easier to add a goal before the game and win that way? Good steel is used on the edge of the knife, and now is the time to use these goals to better effect!

Marrina was sulking when she returned to her home.

It's not that he's angry about anything else, it's that he now feels that this young head coach is simply unreliable - if Dick's words and deeds before only made him hate this man, and now he has begun to doubt Dick's ability - is a manager who knows almost nothing about training really a professional head coach?

Although his coaching credentials are real, what is the use of such things on paper? How many FIFA lecturer-level figures, many famous coaches also have to listen to their lessons when they are in class, but let them coach professional teams, often end up miserable......

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that her husband was also absent-minded during the meal, Marina's wife asked strangely.

"There's a manager who doesn't know what to call a manager...... I really don't know what the club thinks, looking for so many managers who don't know the so-called manager, the results of the first team are also getting worse, alas, if it goes on like this, what will the team do. Marriner sighed.

The wife asked strangely, "New head coach?" What's wrong? ”

"It's really incomprehensible that a young man in his early twenties, who doesn't even know how to train, can only stand on the sidelines and pretend, and Mr. Chairman should send such a young man as the head coach." Marriner replied that he did not say anything about Dick's Chinese identity and that Marriner did not discriminate in this regard.

"Maybe people are really capable." The wife pouted.

"Go, go, what do you women know." Marriner said impatiently: "If he leads the team to poor results in the next game, the second team may really be relegated, then your husband will slide all the way from an assistant coach of a La Liga team to an assistant coach of a La C team!" ”
