"Mr. President, what you just said at the celebration really made me passive......

In the hotel room, Dick smiled wryly and said to old Hill that there were only three people in the room now, him and Hill father and son.

Hearing Dick say this, Old Hill was still wiping his face with a hot towel, but Little Hill was already glaring at Dick: "Di, what do you mean by this?" Isn't it enough to announce that you will be the head coach next season and still have control over the team? Or do you already have an agreement with another team? ”

Dick didn't even bother to look at him: "Mr. General Manager, it's not my job to be passive!" It's the team's preparation! There's also a Copa del Rey final, and announcing that at this time, my preparations will be a bit passive...... As for the other teams, I don't think there will be a more attractive position in La Liga than Atletico Madrid manager, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona. ”

Old Hill, who had stopped for a moment, began to wipe his face vigorously with a towel again, and a muffled voice came from the place covered by the towel: "Miguel, shut up for me......"

After saying this, old Hill did not speak, and continued to wipe his face, until he put his hand down, and a refreshed face was revealed.

"Di, why do you say that this will affect the preparation for the last game? After more than a month, I think everyone has begun to trust your quality, and your previous role as an interim manager will also cause panic among fans to worry that you will leave at the end of the season, if you can be announced as the official head coach before the big game, wouldn't it be a big boost to our morale? Immediately after putting down the towel, Old Hill asked Dick this question.

'That's fine, it's a big benefit for the club as a whole, but not necessarily for the team's preparation. Dick said after shrugging his shoulders.

Old Hill is not a stupid person, and when he heard Dick always emphasize the impact on the team's preparation, he reacted: "You mean, the team's hearts will fluctuate?" ”

"That's it." Dick spread his hands: "You know, I didn't have any prestige in the team before, if it weren't for you giving me all the power to control the team and threatening to keep me if I didn't do what I said, the team would have to stay with me, how much magic do you think I would have to make them all obey?" Now that the relegation has been successful, this threat has lost its effect, and with the momentum of this streak, the players will not think about next season for a short time, but now, they have to think about it, because next season they can guess that I will have some changes and changes to the team, and the players who have not been given the opportunity to play during this period will have to think about the way out next season...... This will most likely affect our preparation for the finals! ”

"That's true...... Old Hill had to admit it after thinking about it, but he wouldn't apologize - when did Old Hill apologize to the coach? He just asked, "Di, do you have any solutions?" ”

"Only by taking my time, in the next round of the league, I plan to let all the players who have not played before play, which can be regarded as a reassurance." Dick shook his head: "But fortunately, I will definitely use the previous main force in the final, and the position of these people is more stable, so they will be less affected...... I'm going to try to win this final, and I'm going to finish the season a little bit better. ”

"That's good." Old Hill nodded, and then smiled: "Di, do you have any thoughts on the length, treatment and specific authority of the new contract?" ”

"Mr. President, I don't think I'll talk about this for now...... You don't want my preparation to be disrupted before the final, do you? Dick laughed: "Let's wait until after the Copa del Rey final to discuss this issue." ”

Hearing Dick say this, Old Hill looked at him deeply, and then laughed, "Okay, I didn't think it through...... The final is up to you, and hopefully in your hands, Atletico will win the 10th Copa del Rey in history! ”

"I'll do my best." Dick bent slightly, then exited the room where the Hill father and son were.

"Father, is it because he ...... he refuses to renew his contract at this time?" asked Old Hill in a low voice after Dick withdrew.

"No, it won't." Old Hill shook his head slightly: "Now it seems that this guy is even more ambitious than I imagined...... That's a good result, he has angered Barcelona now, and Real Madrid will not be interested in him, want to make a name for himself in Spain, is there a better club than Atletico Madrid? He's a smart guy and doesn't do that kind of stupid thing...... Among the several strong teams in La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid are not qualified to go, Valencia and Deportivo have a solid position as head coaches, and only we are the best for him...... Don't be too suspicious of him, he's going to pursue the same things as we do, champion, give him his full support, and if he can't, it's not too late to kick him out. ”

********************************

After the relegation celebration, Atletico Madrid fans had a better time, they watched Barcelona draw 2-2 at home to Valencia, and were eliminated miserably, and the hope of the last title was dashed - because in the 37th round of the game, although Barcelona defeated the opponent, Deportivo also mustered up the courage to defeat the opponent and win the La Liga championship one round earlier!

La Liga is Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid and Valencia are competing for the Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Espanyol are competing for the Copa del Rey – nothing happens to Barcelona anyway!

In other words, at the end of the season, the mighty Barcelona really didn't win a single official tournament as Dick said in October, which means Dick won the bet with Rodriguez!

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, I'm talking about the end of the season when the bet is established, maybe before the end of the season, Mr. Rodriguez can hold an official tournament recognized by FIFA and UEFA, only one club from Barcelona participates, then it will be me!"

Dick said in an interview that he was interviewed on the sidelines of Atletico Madrid's training ground, and when he heard the manager say this, Atletico Madrid's players were laughing next to him, whether they had something on their minds or not - this manager is too bad, does Rodriguez have the ability? Even if he had the ability, I am afraid that Barcelona would not have the face to participate in such a competition, just as no one would think that the Catalan Cup is also an official competition.

Speaking of which, Dick also laughed when he heard the roaring laughter from the Atletico Madrid players behind him, and then pointed at the camera: "Wait, Mr. Rodriguez, May 20 is the day the league ends, May 21, if you win, I'll go naked, if you lose, please eat the microphone in front of the live TV!" ”

Rodriguez has been the most feared of the past few days, he had been at home with the last glimmer of hope watching the second leg of Barcelona's Champions League semi-final against Valencia, and he almost fainted with excitement after Barcelona took the lead, but after Valencia scored two goals in a row to overtake the score, Rodriguez was sent into the abyss...... Even if Barcelona did equalize in the end, it did not help them to qualify......

"Bastard Dick, I ......" Mr. Rodriguez lost his temper in his bedroom, almost smashed everything he could, scolded Dick in all kinds of vicious language, and after scolding for a while, he began to scold Van Gaal again - this stupid Dutchman, he didn't know what Treble he would win if he could eat a few bowls of dry rice, and could you die if he concentrated on playing the league? If you concentrate on playing the league, you can get the league in your hands! Don't you see that Deportivo La Coruna doesn't have more than 70 points now? In the past two seasons, Barcelona have been able to get 70 or 80 points in the league, and most of the time the points in second place can exceed 70 points, and it is really stupid to lose to such an opponent......

And Rodriguez is also afraid of one thing, that is, after losing such a big face, the newspaper society will not fire him directly - after all, there is such a disgraced reporter in the newspaper, and the newspaper will also be embarrassed......

So in the next few days, he was also trembling when he went to work, and he was afraid that when he would send a letter of dismissal and cut off his livelihood, you must know that he has no other ability to eat.

The so-called fear of something, the day after Barcelona completely lost any of the championships, he was called to the editor-in-chief's office.

"Vicente, you should know that Barcelona will not be able to win any official competition this season."

After Rodriguez entered the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief said something that made Rodriguez tremble.

"Yes...... Yes, Mr. Editor-in-Chief. Rodriguez resigned: "I lost that bet, and I don't think I'll be able to do it anymore...... I'm quitting, sir. ”

The editor-in-chief was noncommittal, and it took a long time before he said to Rodriguez: "Mr. Vicente, you know, many people in Barcelona now hate that guy named Dick. ”

"I hate him even more!" Rodriguez said in his heart.

"And Barcelona haven't won any titles this season, and the pressure on the club is very high......" The corners of the editor-in-chief's mouth curled: "At this time, we need to do something to disperse the pressure on the club." ”

"You mean ......," Rodriguez heard something.

"Make a column, keep an eye on that guy named Dick twenty-four hours a day, and find his fork at any time...... Can you do this task? The editor-in-chief stared at Rodriguez and said.

Rodriguez was overjoyed - it was not a dismissal, but a promotion! What a reversal of God! Is this a blessing in disguise......

"I can do it, I can do it, I'll do everything I can to disgust that bastard so that he can't sue our newspaper in any way!" Rodriguez shouted loudly, of course he knew what the editor-in-chief meant, to open a column to attack a coach who was hated by all Barcelona fans, and of course to make the newspaper's sales better in Catalonia, but he couldn't directly attack him, otherwise he would be sued by the other party in turn and it would be over - but for reporters and newspapers they have many ways to avoid this, for example, if they say in the newspaper "Dick is a fool", That's definitely the end of being sued by Dick directly, but they can say "because of something, Dick is probably a fool", and whether it is or not, it depends on what the reader thinks......
