"Why do you agree to all the demands of this bastard, father!"

After Dick left the chairman's office with the contract satisfied, little Hill finally couldn't help but roar at his father: "Forget the previous requirements, the last one...... It's a scam! ”

Old Hill looked at his excited son, then shook his head.

"If it weren't for those previous requests, I wouldn't have agreed to his last request." Hill Sr. lit a cigar: "The power to control the team, the warning to the players, the motivation to the players...... This kid has a very good skill, and it seems that he is really sure that he will lead the team to relegation. If you can survive relegation, what is the million-dollar bonus? Compared to the loss of relegation, this is not even a tenth. If we don't succeed in relegation, he won't even get a penny, and we won't lose too much. ”

At this point, Old Hill took a deep puff of his cigar and then exhaled a smoke ring: "Son, I know you hate Dick...... But as a businessman, you must be clear that a successful businessman will not let his emotions sway his judgment, even if the object of the transaction is his life and death enemy, as long as the transaction has enough profits, you must also do the transaction with him. ”

Little Hill said unwillingly: "Father, do you think he can really succeed?" ”

"Who can we trust at this time? Is there anyone else? ”

Hearing this, Little Hill couldn't help but sigh - who would have known that the Spanish double in the 95-96 season would fall to such a point three years later!

After walking out of the old Hill's office, Dick didn't get carried away - yes, he now got the power and a million-dollar contract, but if he couldn't lead Atletico to relegation, then these things will be a thing of the past, and there will be no trace left.

He just got a stage now, but whether the play can be performed with full applause depends on his true ability.

Today is April 9th, Atletico Madrid have just suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Deportivo La Coruna yesterday, the players are on holiday today, Antich has submitted his resignation, and Dick has taken over.

"Tomorrow is the official day to go to the training ground, today ...... Some work still needs to be arranged. ”

Dick was on his way back to the academy thinking that in the previous discussion, the work of the second team had also been arranged, and Hill Jr. had planned to let Marriner lead the team temporarily, but Dick refused, because he wanted to bring an assistant to the first team, and Marriner was the best candidate - and those scouts.

So in the end, the second team will draw a coach from the youth team to lead, anyway, now there are only a few rounds left in the league, and the second team of Atletico Madrid cannot be promoted, nor can it be relegated, and there is no need to find a formal manager temporarily.

"Valentine, I guess you're going to have to change the route you send me every day." Dick said to the driver, Garcia, with a smile before getting out of the car.

Garcia had always been silent, but now the bearded man smiled at Dick: "Mr. Dick, I am glad to be able to do this...... Maybe you're the only one who can save Atletico now. ”

Dick froze for a moment, then he laughed and patted Garcia on the shoulder.

"Valentine, don't worry, this season, Atletico Madrid will definitely be able to succeed in relegation."

With that as soon as he said that, Dick strode into the academy.

"Robert, come here."

After walking to the edge of the training ground, Dick beckoned directly to Marriner and asked him to come over.

Marriner nodded, told the players to train on their own, and then walked over to Dick, who had long been used to the fact that the manager would not be on the sidelines of the training pitch very often, so they didn't care.

"Robert, there's something I want to tell you." Dick said bluntly to Marriner.

Marriner was silent for a moment, then raised his head: "Are you going to the first team to put out the fire?" ”

Dick was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood, Atletico Madrid's current situation can be said to be a personal know, when Antich took office, almost everyone thought that the coach who saved Atletico Madrid last season would succeed in fighting the fire again, but the current situation of two draws and one loss in six league games has made everyone come out of fantasy - Atletico Madrid is no longer the Atletico Madrid of last season, Antici can create a miracle, but not a second time.

If Antici leaves class, who else will be able to take over? The answer is almost imminent, except for Dick, who has recently performed eye-catching and led Atletico Madrid to the first place in La Liga, who else? Who made Dick's performance in the past few months so eye-catching!

The most important thing is that even if Atletico Madrid wants to find a famous manager to put out the fire, they can't find it, and there are almost no famous coaches who are still idle, and the average manager will not want to take over this mess, only digging potential from the inside, Dick, the second-team manager, is just the first choice.

That is, because little Hill didn't like Dick, he directly ignored this possibility in his heart.

Then Dick nodded very calmly: "That's right, Mr. Antici has submitted his resignation, and Mr. Chairman has agreed...... He wanted me to take over the first team and I agreed. ”

Marrina lowered her head and said, "What about me?" Succeed you? ”

"No, you'll go with me to the first team and be my assistant." Dick put it bluntly: "I don't know anyone in the first team and I need a good assistant to take care of everything for me. Robert, we've worked well together over the last few months and tomorrow I'm going to go to the first team and I hope I'll be able to get the latest form and all the stuff from Malaga tomorrow night. ”

Marriner scratched on the lawn on tiptoe: "Am I the only one?" ”

"It's just you now, because I don't need to bring too many people with me, and ...... The second team can't lose the whole coaching staff in one go, it's going to be messy, Julio and Juan are going to stay in the second team, but if I'm the first team manager next season, I'll move them all to the first team...... That's another story. Dick replied.

Marrina looked up, then let out a long breath: "Okay, I'll follow you...... But I hope you don't make the second team lads sad, they like you a lot now. ”

Dick was stunned again, he really didn't think about this stubble - originally he was the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team, he didn't think about growing in this position, this position is just a springboard for him, through the good performance in this position, taking advantage of Atletico Madrid's poor results this season to quickly enter the ranks of first-line managers, this is his plan, but now that Marriner said this, the reluctance to the second team of Atletico Madrid surged into his heart like a tide.

This is a group of very simple children, the average age of the main squad is less than twenty-two years old, most of them are not geniuses, just ordinary players, most of them will go their separate ways after playing in the second team for a while, they are very obedient, in the face of Dick, the head coach with no resume, he also followed his command to play the game, and he worked together to get such good results - Dick knew that he might not find a more obedient team than these players in the future, especially when he first arrived.

From October 6, 1999 to April 9, 2000, six months and three days, one hundred and eighty-five days, Dick accumulated his initial experience as a head coach and gave him a foothold, and when he finally achieved his goal, about to march to the top league and become the head coach of a top team, Dick suddenly felt that the first team he coached might be the purest team in his coaching career.

"I'll tell them about it." Dick whispered.

Marrina nodded, "Do you need me to gather them now?" ”

Dick nodded.

Soon, the players of Atletico Madrid's second team were all standing in front of Dick, and their young faces were full of doubts - stopping training in the middle of training and gathering in front of the manager was something that had never happened before.

"Today, I want to tell you something."

Dick glanced at the players in front of him, and then raised his voice and said: "Today, just now, the president of the club, Mr. Hill, came to me and asked me if I would be interested in replacing Mr. Antich, who had just resigned, as the manager of Atletico Madrid's first team and helping Atletico Madrid succeed in relegation...... I've agreed to the move and I'm going to the first team tomorrow. ”

As soon as Dick said this, it was like pouring a piece of water in a pan of oil, and the players let out an exclamation - they were different from Marriner, they didn't think of this at all!

"I'm an employee of Atletico Madrid, Atletico need me right now, and there's no reason why I shouldn't contribute." Dick ignored the players who had already started to talk to each other, and went straight to say: "I don't want to leave you, but the first team needs me more now...... After going to the first team this time, we still have a time to meet...... Perform well, and if I can still lead the first team next year, maybe some of you will go to the first team as well. ”

Dick's last sentence can be regarded as a part of the attention of the players, for the players of the second team, the most expected thing is, of course, to be able to enter the first team, and with their age and talent, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the first team, and now Dick, the manager from the second team, has entered the first team, and they seem to have more opportunities......

'There's a new manager coming tomorrow...... I hope you can behave like you always and try to get me a championship back! Although I can't win this title with you, no matter what, when people talk about Atletico Madrid II winning the La Liga championship in the future, they will talk about all of us, we created this result together, and it will remain in the memories of Atletico fans forever. ”

"Goodbye, guys, and hopefully we'll see you in other places in the future."

Looking at the players who were gradually quieting down, Dick waved his hand and said the great man: "We are all from all over the world, and we have come together for the same goal...... It's only been half a year, but I'm very happy. Everyone believes that I, a rookie who has entered the industry, has created such an excellent result with me, from the twenty-first place to the first place, we have crossed not only 20 opponents, but also created a miracle. Now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm a deserter. But you can't be deserters, go ahead, go get a championship! Won the first La Liga title in the history of Atletico Madrid! ”

"No problem, boss!" Torres shouted in the crowd: "We will definitely win the championship in La Liga!" When the time comes, we will say to everyone at the celebration that it is because of you that we have won this championship! ”
