Hearing Dick say this, Marriner was immediately stunned for a moment—he had come to ask Dick for his guilt, but Dick had cleared himself up in a few words, and now he had begun to plot against him......

So Marriner almost subconsciously asked, "Where to go?" As soon as he said this, Marriner was eager to give himself two ear scrapers, and was this not a clear indication that he was going with Dick?

"It's not decided yet." Dick shook his head: "I originally planned to become a shareholder of Atletico Madrid after the end of the season, where can I find the next home...... But I think with my current name, although the big clubs may not have a place for me anymore, it's okay to find a decent club. ”

“…… You are too modest. Marrina spit out a few words speechlessly: "Will it still be in La Liga?" ”

"Probably not, Spain...... I don't want to face Atletico Madrid head-on, besides, I don't want to go to Barcelona and Real Madrid, what other team is qualified to want me? Valencia and Deportivo have their own managers, so I can't coach Getafe. Dick laughed.

"This ...... I have to think about it now, you suddenly said to me like this, I am not prepared......" Marriner said hesitantly.

Dick shrugged his shoulders: "No problem, after all, you are different from me, I am a bachelor, I don't have a house in Madrid, I can go whenever I want, you have a wife and children's house in Madrid, even if you don't leave with me, I won't have any opinion...... I know your feelings for Atletico, so ...... It's just an offer and I can't find a better club than Atletico. ”

Marriner nodded silently, and then took his leave, and Dick sent him out with a smile, and when he returned, he saw old Franco sitting in the drawing-room, looking at him with a very complicated look.

"Old man, it's getting late, aren't you going to sleep yet?" Dick stood up in front of him, then asked with a smile.

Franco shook his head: "I can't sleep, I'm old and I don't sleep so much." ”

Speaking of this, Franco looked up at Dick: "Di, are you okay now?" Have you time to talk to me? ”

"Absolutely." Dick nodded, then opened Franco's refrigerator to himself, then took out two bottles of beer from it, handed one to Franco, then opened it himself, gestured to Franco, and then took a big sip with his neck up.

Franco took the bottle in his hand, but instead of drinking it, he asked Dick: "Dick, are the recent rumors true?" ”

"In a way, it's true, but to a large extent, it's very different."

Dick took a breath, then smiled and said, "Old man, I know you've wanted to ask for a long time, but after holding it for so long, isn't it very uncomfortable?" ”

"It's very uncomfortable." Franco nodded.

"So...... I can tell you everything today, old man, but I'll announce everything in two days anyway, and I don't care if anyone believes it. ”

Dick laughed, then took another sip of his beer, and then said, "Ten million dollars and ten percent of the shares, true, but it was negotiated before Mr. Chairman went to heaven...... Because he wanted me to stay at Atletico and I was touched by what he did. ”

"I've been working hard, for myself and for Atletico. I never wanted to die in a club at Atletico Madrid because I was still young and there is a saying in football: 'never say no to the future', which is a wise saying, and I agree with it, so all I thought was that I could win as many trophies as possible at Atletico Madrid, so that I could be more famous and more secure, even in other clubs, I would be attractive enough, and even if Mr. President didn't like me one day, I would be able to find a better position...... I'm not thinking like that, am I not excessive? Dick continued, his eyes a little misty.

"Not excessive." Franco shook his head: "I've watched the ball for so many years, and of course I know what a precarious career a manager is...... Especially under the leadership of Mr. President, it is not uncommon to change a head coach every year or two, or even change several head coaches a season, and it is normal for you to have such thoughts, after all, you are still young and have to think about the future. ”

"That's right." Dick put down the empty bottle, then got up and took another bottle out of the refrigerator, and then took a big sip: "Luckily, I have been leading the team well...... Whatever the reason, I trust me and I thank him for his trust, but after leading the team to a league title, I feel that my achievements at Atletico have come to an end. After all, I'm not the president of the club, I'm just a manager, maybe I can win a lot of trophies every year, but I can't build a team that can always be at the top level. It's not something a manager can do unless he becomes a symbol of the club, like Alex Ferguson. ”

"It was at this time that Mr. Chairman approached me with an offer to transfer a portion of his shares to me. A lot of people may say that Mr. President is a football amateur, a nouveau riche who is eager for quick success, and I thought so at one time, but when I heard the proposal, I knew that Mr. President was a wise man who knew what it took to make Atletico a top club and not occasionally at the top. If I'm a shareholder of the club, then I'll be able to take a longer term plan, rather than just buying some top players who can build up momentum as I have done in the past two years. I will train young people, and I will form a perfect echelon system, so that the style of the whole club is in the same line, and the hematopoietic function and the ability of its own virtuous cycle are extremely top-notch! When the time comes, we will be able to really compete with the top clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona! ”

"Why did Barcelona become the dream team in the nineties? Because Cruyff built the whole Barcelona system! Why is Real Madrid the number one club in the world? Because from the very beginning, they have built the team with superstars, and the best stars of any era will willingly join Real Madrid! It's a tradition at the club! Great tradition! What Atletico lacks is such a tradition! Only by giving me more power, so that I don't have too many constraints when I fail occasionally, can I use time to forge such a tradition! Don't look down on Barcelona, but I admit that Cruyff has brought them definitely not the championships of the 90s, but a brilliant future! La Masia Soccer School is going to be a scary existence! If you want to compete with them, you need to have a long-term plan! ”

Dick's words made Franco, the old man, also begin to feel the boiling blood, and he replied loudly: "I believe in you, Dick! I'm sure you'll be able to do it! ”

"I also believe that I will be able to do it." Dick smiled bitterly, and then opened the third bottle: "It's a pity that when we reached a peak, Mr. Chairman collapsed and went to heaven...... Next, Hill Jr. gave up that promise and treated the agreement as a piece of air, which I could have endured, after all, I have been doing very well in Atletico Madrid in the past two years! I have the ability to keep Atletico at the top for another one or two years! But you know what, old man, little Ciel's little idiot, that stupid fellow, that guy with a good skin and a belly full of straw bales, he's starting to rip me off now! Just three days ago, he told me that he was going to ask me to tell him what kind of players I needed and then he was going to buy ...... Joke, can he have what kind of additions I know better what the team needs? Can he know how to bring in the players I need? No kidding! He also deserves to drink, hook up with Mr. President's female secretary, and have extramarital affairs...... Does he know how to build a team? Fart! If he can form a team, then I can build a country! ”

Looking at the drunken Dick, old Hill sighed, "So that's the case...... I'm wrong about you, Dick. ”

"It's okay, a lot of people will blame me, I don't give the fuck...... Besides, I'm just going to say that you can trust me, I'm glad you can trust me, old man, and it seems that I haven't failed as a man. Dick laughed.

"That agreement...... Isn't there any evidence? If anything, I think all of us Atletico fans will be on your side! This is Spain, and Atletico Madrid used to be the club for all Atletico fans! Even if he is the largest shareholder of the club, as long as we can stand up, then he will not be able to sit in this position for long! Franco said loudly.

"No...... Because it was just a verbal agreement, I don't think Mr. President would break it. Dick shook his head: "Besides, it was planned that I would be able to transfer my shares after the season was over, who knew that such a thing would happen...... Mr. President, I didn't mean to do this, you are in heaven, don't blame me. ”

Looking at Dick muttering to the ceiling, Franco couldn't help but laugh, and when he saw that Dick had finished drinking the third bottle, he shook his head, and then stuffed the undrunk bottle in his hand: "Keep drinking...... You've been tired enough for the past few years......"

"Where am I tired, drinking, hooking up chicks, directing and directing the game, and the time passes like this." Dick laughed, and then took a long sip of wine: "Old man, I guess I'll be out of here soon...... The next time you rent a house, rent it to an honest person, don't rent it to me, always come back in the middle of the night and disturb your sleep. ”

At this point, Dick stood up, and then shook the bottle in his hand, "Thank you, thank you for inviting me to drink." ”

Watching Dick walk up the stairs with one foot deep, Franco shook his head, and then sighed: "After you leave, I don't plan to rent this house anymore...... I'm also old, and I don't need so much money, so I'm still empty, so I can often remember that there was such a great coach living in this house of mine, and at that time, he was still very young, and he often came down to the refrigerator in the middle of the night to steal my food......"

Hearing Franco's sigh, Dick's footsteps paused for a moment, and then he stood up the stairs and slowly turned back.

"Thank you, old man, for thinking so...... Keep this house, one day, I will be back, and when the time comes, I will still live with you! Take care, I know two old men in Madrid, one has gone to heaven, and I don't want you to go to coffee with him so early! ”

Looking at Dick's back, Franco suddenly laughed, and smiled happily, like a child.
