Chapter 16 Journalists who want to watch a good show
While Dick was enjoying the sensation as no one else was around, he didn't notice that Torres had broken free from his teammates' hugs and rushed towards him.
Torres was also quite excited to finish this game with a hat trick, especially when there were no goals in the first seven games, such a hat trick is even more commendable!
Before that, the young manager said that he would score at least two goals, Torres didn't know if this hat-trick would have anything to do with the manager, but he just wanted to hug the manager at this time, because he seemed more confident than himself before the game!
You trust me, and I naturally like youβvery simple feelings.
Dick was taken aback when he saw Torres rushing towards him, and then he laughed - it seems that Torres is grateful to himself now...... If you can get on good terms with the future captain of Atletico Madrid, it must be easier for you to establish yourself in the team, right? It's not that you have to try to please this player, but in any case, having a good relationship with an important player is also a very important thing for a manager.
Dick had heard a lot in his previous life, what manager and important players were at odds, and then either the coach got out of the way or the players got out - most of the time the coach got out of the way, especially in Italy, Spain is not bad, and the prestige of the dressing room leader is much greater than that of the head coach......
Dick had already opened his arms and was ready to give Torres a warm hug, but Torres suddenly stood up when he rushed in front of him, and then said to Dick: "Mr. Coach, I did it!" I've got more than two! β
"Damn, how is it different from what I imagined?"
Dick muttered in his heart, but the kindest smile appeared on his face: "That's right, I saw it!" Nice hat-trick, you're even better than I thought! β
Torres smiled with satisfaction before turning to hug his teammates.
"Well, it doesn't seem like it's possible to convince an important player in one game." Dick muttered inwardly.
After leading 3-2, although there were still close to ten minutes to go before the game was over, Lleida had completely lost their fighting spirit, and they did not create any threat in the entire second half, being pressed by Atletico II and then scored two goals...... They have no fighting spirit in this game.
They have no fighting spirit, but the young players of the Atletico Madrid II team will not have no fighting spirit, they are all young, and naturally do not know what convergence is, in the following time they continued to bombard the opponent's half of the field, and finally before the end of the game, the midfielder Carlos hit the ground in the front of the penalty area and hit the ball into the opponent's door, 4 to 2, Atletico Madrid II team won a beautiful victory!
Such a win meets all the needs of a Spanish fan β lots of goals, ups and downs, stars shine and most importantly, the home team wins!
When the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Atletico fans gave the players on the pitch a prolonged round of applause β and Dick rightly stood with the players and raised his arms to the stands.
"This head coach is so thick-skinned!"
Several fans who booed Dick expressed their opinions, but they did not stop applauding, because this game really deserves their applause!
Musampa was also in the applause, he did not boo Dick's command in the first half, because he could see that the situation of Atletico Madrid's second team was very dangerous at that time, and Dick's adjustment at halftime made his eyes shine - although it was just a simple substitution, but it was quite targeted, as for Dick did not change anyone next, in Musampa's opinion, it was also the other party's lack of targeted adjustment......
"It seems that this young manager still has some skills, and Hill doesn't seem to be messing around this time......" Musampa said to his assistant.
"Haha, maybe Hill stumbled into it!" The young assistant laughed.
Musampa also laughed: "yes...... Maybe you're right......"
In any case, such a victory gave reporters a preliminary understanding of this mysterious young head coach - at least, this is a guy with some ability!
This was evident at the following press conference.
Naturally, there will not be too many reporters at the press conference of the La B match, generally speaking, only the reporters from both sides of the game come, at most about a dozen people, Atletico Madrid II team because of its own factors, there may be more reporters, but generally speaking, there are less than 20 reporters after a game, but this time, more than 30 reporters came in one breath!
Looking at so many peers around him, many reporters were a little surprised.
"Why are there so many people today?" Someone asked.
"This rookie head coach seems to be doing very well, of course it is worth interviewing!" A local correspondent in Madrid replied.
"Why are your Catalan journalists here?" Musampa asked a Catalan journalist.
The Catalan journalist had a strange smile on his face: "I heard that the manager of your Atletico II team this year went to La Masia Football School a few days ago......"
In the various explanations, it was not long before the reporters discovered why this was a topic worth hyping - a young man who had just been officially declared a liar by Barcelona a few days ago became the manager of Atletico Madrid II a few days later, and led Atletico Madrid II, which had been winless for three games before, to a beautiful victory - such a clash was enough to make all journalists find the excitement in it.
Musampa shook his head, as a colleague, he understood why these Catalan reporters were so excited, and it was estimated that these reporters were just here to pay attention to the performance of Barcelona's loan Nacker, because he could see that although these Catalan reporters basically worked for "World Sport" and "Daily Sport", two of Barcelona's largest media, they were not important reporters, otherwise they would not have paid attention to a loan player who was not very famous.
That is, these two media only rely on reporting the details of Barcelona to eat, so they will send so many reporters out for a loan player, and if they change to other media, there will really not be so many reporters......
After the reporters chatted for a long time, they found out that the young manager of Atletico Madrid's second team had not yet appeared, and the manager of Lleida had been sitting at the press conference for a long time.
"Why hasn't this guy come out yet?"
Many reporters have begun to talk to each other, and such a cold scene makes them a little uncomfortable, and many reporters are thinking, is this young head coach a difficult guy? Knowing that there are a lot of journalists from Catalonia, so you deliberately don't come out, not wanting them to ask about your own troubles?
Actually, they were wrong, because Dick excitedly praised all the players on the pitch after returning to the locker room, as for attending the press conference...... He really forgot that there was such a play.
It wasn't until Marriner reminded him that Dick realized that there was a press conference! This kind of showy thing, of course, Dick will not miss it!
After tidying up his appearance, Dick thought it was good, and then he walked out of the locker room with great satisfaction, and before he walked out, he called Torres: "Fernando, come with me to the press conference!" β
Torres nodded, and then walked out with Dick - he had also attended press conferences before, and that was his first time in La Liga, when he played more than 60 minutes without scoring, but he attended the press conference because of his fame, and in the following time, because he had not scored, out of the desire to protect him, the former head coach Yarrow did not think to take him to the press conference - this was the second time he participated in the press conference.
"Fernando, who scored a hat-trick today, there must have been a lot of reporters who came to ask you how you felt...... Don't give them too many good looks, act confident! The more confident you are, the better you behave, the reporters will surround you, and if you don't perform well, no matter how humble you are, no matter how good you are, those guys will criticize you to death. β
Dick and Torres walked towards the scene of the press conference, chattering to Torres, this naked expression made Torres a little uncomfortable, but remembered the praise he received when he was only in the second team, and the media questioned after the consecutive scores...... He felt that what the young head coach said really made sense......
However, after following Dick's circle, Torres felt that something was wrong, and at this time, Dick stopped and said to Torres with an embarrassed face, "Uh...... Fernando, do you know how to get to the press room? I don't think I know how to get around......"
Torres almost laughed out loud, seeing Dick with him with a confident face, he thought Dick knew the way, who knew that he didn't know how to get to the press conference hall at all......
But it's normal to think about it, Dick has only been here for a few days? It is estimated that he has never been to the Metropolis Stadium before, so it is natural that he does not know.
"Sir, go this way." Torres smiled and began to lead the way, he thought the young manager was so funny, saying before the game that he would be able to score at least two, and at half-time he offered to say that the fans were booing him instead of the players, and it was still unclear where the press conference hall was going...... This made Torres feel that the other party was an ordinary person of flesh and blood, and made Torres feel that this was a guy who could be approached.
Dick muttered to himself as he walked, "Damn, I'm glad I pulled Torres, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have to find a staff member to lead the way...... There is no sign inside this stadium, it is really worthy of the second team's stadium, and the facilities are not complete at all. β
Muttering in his heart, Dick followed Torres to the interior of the press conference hall, and Torres did not lead the way, but signaled where the exit was, waiting for Dick to go in first and then follow himself - after all, the head coach should be in front.
"What a good boy who knows how to be polite." Dick teased Torres in his heart, and then he was not polite, tidied up his clothes again, turned his head and asked Torres, "How is it, there is nothing rude about my dress, right?" β
"I can go to His Majesty's banquet." Torres also humored.
Dick laughed, then pushed the door open and walked in with his head held high.
The moment of Dick's first press conference as a head coach is approaching.
