The power of the Flame Blazer card was on full display in this round of the league. Because in this round of the game, Real Oviedo and Espanyol played a miserable game - Espanyol are not actually completely out of the relegation zone, they need at least one point to be sure of relegation, and Real Oviedo needs a win to be relegated......

In the end, the Spaniards got their wish, they drew 1-1 with Real Oviedo away from home, and successfully got the points needed for relegation, and Atletico Madrid also got their wish, after winning this round of the league, their points reached 47 points, four points ahead of the 43-point Real Oviedo, with one round left, early relegation success!

When the news came, half of Madrid became a sea of joy, and the Atletico Madrid fans who had been holding back for a season began to celebrate frantically in the city of Madrid, while the Real Madrid fans pouted and looked at this group of happy Riba people - we are not so happy that we are in fifth place, you are in the final of the Copa del Rey? We're going to the Champions League final!

It's just that for the high-flying Real Madrid fans, how can they understand the hearts of Atletico Madrid people!

They are grassroots, civilians, representatives of resistance, but just like this society, often grassroots struggles only make their defeats more and more tragic, but Atletico people have never been afraid.

While Atletico Madrid successfully relegated, Real Oviedo did not lose hope of relegation, because in the other game, Numancia lost to Alaves away from home, but only one point ahead of Real Oviedo, and they still had a chance to knock Numancia to the ground in the last round!

But all this has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

The ecstatic old Hill announced on the same day that he would pay out all the bonuses promised before, a total of six million dollars - five million of which were promised to the players, and the other one million was the bonus stipulated in Dick's coaching contract, in addition to the fact that the old Hill also paid a bonus to other members of the coaching staff - in this case, the old Hill was not stingy at all.

"There's also a Copa del Rey final, and when you win the cup, you should drink with you!"

At the celebratory feast, Old Hill shouted loudly with his wine glass.

Atletico's players responded with a bang and poured their glasses, with Dick throwing his head back and drinking from his glasses.

After putting down the wine glass, old Hill put his arm around Dick's shoulders drunkenly, and said loudly with a snort of wine: "This season, we have had a lot of trouble, and I have made a lot of mistakes!" But God willing, I made the most critical choice at the most critical moment...... Di! I believe you are the best manager for Atletico! You will lead Atletico to a new era! ”

It's a high compliment for a different chairman, of course, but from Hill's mouth, Dick just smiled - he knew what Hill was like, Sacchi and Ranieri had received such praise when they took office, and Antich was called "the greatest coach in Atletico Madrid's history" when he led the team to the Double - but so what? If the grades are not good, they will still click off......

However, the next few words of Hill made Dick a little happy: "Next, Atletico Madrid Club will renew the contract with Mr. Dick for three years, and at the same time will give him the same rights as in the last two months!" ”

Speaking of this, Old Hill patted Dick's chest heavily: "Club, I'll take care of it, team, you take care of it!" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the celebration hall, which was still a little noisy, immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Old Hill and Dick in the middle, and Little Hill next to him opened his mouth twice, wanting to say something, but he still forced himself to endure it.

After a moment of silence in the hall, suddenly Belleron and Ballack took the lead, and most of the Atletico players began to slap hard - this is their call from the heart!

Of course, there are also disappointed players, but they have already known before that it is almost impossible to lead Atletico Madrid to relegation, Dick has established his position in the hearts of Atletico fans, as long as it is not a decline in results, even the old Hill can not easily fire him, you must know that in a year or two, when Florentino came to power, he had long wanted to get rid of Bosque, but Bosque came back with a heavyweight championship every year, So Florentino could only watch that the lineage left by his predecessor Sans had been in the position of Real Madrid's head coach, and finally couldn't help but fire Bosque for the almost spitting reason that "Bosque's appearance does not match Real Madrid's giant temperament", and even Bosque himself did not expect that this move was actually a precursor to the collapse of the invincible Galaxy Battleship!

Although the elder Hill, as the largest shareholder of the club, has much more control over the club than the merely elected Florentino, in the same way, he does not think that Dick is the descendant of his predecessor and must be eliminated quickly, as long as Dick leads the team to achieve results, he will not do anything to him......

With such a coach who has really shown great ability to lead Atletico, the Atletico players have reason to be optimistic about next season – as long as they can stay......

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, a strong manager like Dick will definitely establish his own power in the locker room, and if Hill really gives Dick full control of the team, then the laissez-faire situation in the Atletico dressing room may be gone forever......

Looking at the rather complicated expressions of the players, and then turning his head to look at the smug old Hill, Dick couldn't help but smile bitterly - yes, this is indeed what he wants, officially become the head coach of Atletico Madrid, gain control of the team, and then attack for some more decent honors...... But it's not the time to make an announcement! The team is indeed relegated, but there is still a Copa del Rey final to play! If the news is not announced, the players can participate in the next Copa del Rey without any worries with the momentum of early relegation success, and now that the news is announced, the players will inevitably think about what they will do next season, how Dick will treat them, how many people will be replaced by the Atletico Madrid team, and some players who think that they may not be able to stay Maybe they will find their agents when they go home today and let him prepare to find the next home, maybe there are not many such players, But how can a team training and playing football together, changing clothes and chatting in a locker room, not affecting each other? Even if it's just a small group of players, they're enough to make the atmosphere in the dressing room weird......

Thankfully, those two goal cards were at the bottom, otherwise Dick would have been going to get angry at this time - aren't you adding to the chaos? Are you the president of Atletico Madrid or an undercover agent sent by Real Madrid? If Atletico Madrid can't win the Copa del Rey at this time, it won't make Real Madrid laugh - we didn't deal with you personally, we just sent our younger brother Espanyol, and they were able to kill you......

But at this time, Dick could only smile bitterly, he knew that Hill was not a particularly knowledgeable head coach, otherwise he would not have made this mistake - he stated at this time, it was more likely that he wanted to appease Dick, lest this rising head coach be poached by other teams in the past few days, because Hill knew that his image was not so good, almost equivalent to a head coach killer, and he had now changed no less than double-digit coaches, Coaching under him is not a pleasant thing, what if Dick just wants to use Atletico as a springboard? It just so happens that his performance in the past two months has been good enough, maybe there are many middle and lower teams who will invite him, and those middle and lower teams, although they may not have a future, can be a good way to give Dick more power and freedom - he can see that Dick is a very controlling, at least in the position of head coach!

Like Lao Hill, a person who fought out from the bottom and successfully occupied a place in the upper class, can be called a hero, the so-called hero, is a character like Liu Bei, he has made mistakes and used emotions, but at most critical moments, he can always make the right judgment in an instant, such as leaving the people to run away alone at a critical moment, throwing a bucket to collect Zhao Yun's heart, and forcing Zhuge Liang to assist the young master wholeheartedly...... was able to change from a poor and white emperor to Emperor Zhaolie, this correct judgment saved his life countless times, and made him go further.

Old Hill made what he thought was the most correct judgment at this time, and took advantage of this opportunity for everyone to gather together to loudly announce that he was about to sign a contract with Dick and delegate power, forming an established fact in advance, after all, if he waited until the next day to talk to Dick, Dick might prevaricate and say that he would wait until after the Copa del Rey was over, and this time would leave Dick more leeway...... In this respect, his judgment is quite correct, but he does not think from the perspective of the team, and in fact he is not the head coach, and he does not need to think from the perspective of the team, he just needs to start from the overall picture.

As for whether he didn't think of this, or wanted to observe Dick more tests, then only God knows, and even thought darkly, if Dick led the team to not perform well in the Copa del Rey final, then the power delegated to him may be a little less, lest Dick unscrupulously install cronies and forces in the locker room, you must know that a head coach is powerful, and if he gets the support of all the players, it is not easy for the management to replace the head coach - it is easy to replace the head coach, It's difficult to replace the whole team – just like Jose Mourinho in later generations, after being ousted from Chelsea by Abou, Chelsea spent the next two or three seasons slowly recovering, with a change of personnel, but the key players who miraculously won the trophy after a few years were the old guys Mourinho left behind – the impact of a top manager on a club after a year or two of running a club.

However, at the celebration party, Dick did not appear to be out of the ordinary, he just smiled and hugged the old Hill, and then turned to raise his glass to all the players.

"Next season's thing, that's what you need to think about next season! Let's hope you don't rest on your laurels, because in two weeks' time we have the last big game of the season! The glory of the 10th Copa del Rey will be ours! We will leave a mark on the history of Atletico! Adjust your form, build up your stamina, and show your best in front of all Atletico fans for the final game of the season! ”

Speaking of this, Dick shouted: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will have two days off, and there will be no rest until May 27, we will be in the best condition for the last game!" Cheers! ”
