Dick usually likes to listen to some songs, likes to sing some songs, his voice is not bad, in his previous life, he went to KTV with colleagues and friends or something, and he also belongs to the first level of Maiba...... However, the conscience of heaven and earth, no matter how arrogant Dick is, he never thought that he would be able to sing as a guest at such an idol-level live concert!

"Everyone, your concert is all about nostalgia, no matter how you sing, as long as you appear on stage, the audience is coming for you! What's the matter if I went, besides, I'm not a professional singer, I can't get this kind of thing. [Full text reading. 】”

Dick hurriedly waved his hand and said no, but Johnson laughed: "It's okay, I think as long as we say that we will hold this concert because of your proposal, then the audience will cheer for you...... You gave us such a great idea to have such a concert, we have to be grateful to you, and this is the only way we can thank you. ”

Seeing an old man who was no longer in his prime saying this sentence so sincerely, Dick was also a little touched, he raised his head and blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "It seems to be a good practice...... I won't refuse this kind of showmanship...... But when is your concert going to be? ”

Malcolm? Yang laughed: "Preparation, publicity, or something add up, at least it will take several months, it is estimated that it should be April or May, leave a contact information, and we will notify you then." ”

Everyone else nodded, but Dick was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"If that's the time...... Then I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in ......"

"Why?" Johnson was stunned, and everyone else was stunned, they didn't expect Dick to say this - after all, it was just a concert, and in fact, it didn't take long to be a guest......

"Well, I forgot to tell me who I am yesterday...... Actually, I'm the manager of a football club, and May is the busiest time of the season, so it's impossible for me to have time. Dick said rather embarrassed.

At this moment, all five of them were stunned - they didn't expect Dick to say such a reason!

"Uh...... Is it the head coach of a club in Australia? "Malcolm, who obviously doesn't know much about football? Jan asked curiously.

"No, I'm actually the manager of La Liga club Atletico Madrid and now I'm in Australia for a holiday." Dick replied.

Everyone was completely speechless at this moment, they knew that Dick would not lie to them, and there was no reason to lie to them in this situation.

"Well, it looks like you're in trouble as a guest, unless the concert is postponed until July." Johnson shook his head, then looked at his old fellows, and then said to Dick, "So be it, Dick...... Interested in sponsoring our concerts? Anyway, we also want to pull sponsorship, why don't you come and participate in a share, and after the concert, the sponsorship fee will be shared...... Of course, there are risks associated with this. ”

Dick laughed, of course he knew that this was Johnson trying to pull himself to make a little money, yesterday he analyzed it thoroughly, with the prestige accumulated by the AC/DC band in the past 20 years and the current situation that there have been no concerts in the last seven or eight years, as long as this news is released, it will definitely be a big hit - not profitable? That's impossible......

"Okay, then I'll sponsor it...... Is a million dollars enough? I think that's all I have to deposit now......" Dick said with a grin.

“…… Is it very profitable to be a manager of a football club? Johnson choked back these words.

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

In the next few days, Dick was with this group of people, since he wanted to sponsor, then naturally he had to sign a formal contract, Dick didn't have an agent or anything, he read the terms directly, and it was similar to what was discussed with each other, so he signed - the contract stipulated that Dick sponsored the concert with one million dollars, and the final income of the concert was not only 20% of the band's remuneration, but the remaining 80% would be returned to the sponsor as a bonus, and it would be shared according to the sponsorship share.

"Okay, that's it."

Dick signed his name quite chicly, his current savings are not small, and he has no investment direction, since he can talk to these old guys, then it is no problem to sponsor, besides, he really doesn't believe that this sponsorship will lose anything......

After a few days, Dick's vacation was almost over, and after saying goodbye to the five old bandmates, Dick boarded the plane back to Spain - his leisure was over, and the second half of the season was about to be busy!

This trip to Australia, there was no sexual encounter, but he got to know such a legendary band, Dick is still quite satisfied - anyway, this is also a very interesting experience in life, in the previous life he could only see the performance of this band on the Internet video, but now he can drink with them, the moving part of life, is not reflected in these small details?

But what Dick didn't expect was that when he returned to Spain from the hot southern hemisphere, he was a little uncomfortable - he was not prepared when he got off the plane, and as a result, he almost blew all the way back in the cold wind, and coupled with the fatigue of the journey, Dick caught a cold the next day......

"Ahh

Atletico Madrid's training ground sounded Dick's loud sneeze, the players on the training ground shook their heads, and then began to train on their own, today Dick came to the locker room with a mask, and on the side of the training ground, there was no figure within five meters of him - for Chinese, a cold may not be nothing, but perhaps it is a physical relationship, Europeans and Americans are quite taboo about the flu, especially in the team, a cold is likely to make the whole team lose combat effectiveness.

Luckily, Dick didn't have to train, so he just stood on the sidelines of the training ground and watched, but everyone still avoided him as if he had germs on him.

"Di, if you're not feeling well, go and rest, you won't be on the sidelines anyway."

After Marriner arranged the training content, he said to Dick from afar, Dick shook his head, he still has to observe the state of the players, isn't it just a little cold? It's fine to go without medicine for a week......

Seeing Dick's insistence on refusing to leave, Marriner had no choice but to give up, but he still admired Dick, obviously he didn't train, but he insisted on watching from the sidelines every day of training, and this attitude alone deserves everyone's respect.

Although his head was dizzy, Dick still insisted on watching today's training, the state of the players in training made him feel happy, it is clear that although the 12 days of rest are long, it has not made the players lose their form, their movements are still quite flexible, and their physical condition is also very good, which will be of great benefit to the impact of the second half of the season.

Dick knows in his heart that although Atletico Madrid played well in the first half of the season, the second half of the season will be the real test - the more intensive schedule is still secondary, mainly because most of the players lack experience in the league impact, and there are few serious championship players in the team, the more at the end of the season, the more the team can not afford to lose, and the more experience can be reflected at this time, if you want to get through such difficulties, Dick in addition to better arrangement of tactics, the remaining nine goal cards will also play a key role, This requires him to put in more work – to arrange tactics, to observe the form of the players, to investigate the characteristics of the opponent...... There is no room for mistakes.

The price paid for the twelve days of free vacation is the busier work that follows - these tasks are the basis of Dick's free vacation, and Dick is very clear about which is more important.

The first official match after the New Year will be played on January 7, with Atletico Madrid away to Espanyol in the 17th round of the league.

This game is also a revenge battle for the Spaniards to some extent, they lost to Atletico Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey last season, and also gave up the qualification for the League Cup to Atletico Madrid, which made the Spaniards quite unhappy, although Atletico Madrid are now in second place, their ranking has fallen to the top ten, but just after the New Year, the form of the Atletico Madrid players may not continue, which is also a good opportunity for the Spaniards.

Dick is very confident that he will lead the team to teach the Spaniards a lesson again, but what he didn't expect was that a day or two later, his cold not only did not get better, but seemed to become more serious, after finding a doctor to see a doctor, the doctor concluded that he should be given a good bed rest for two days - he was very dissatisfied with this diagnosis, but after knowing the news, Old Hill directly ordered him to rest for two days, regardless of the next round of the league - Old Hill knew in his heart, Dick is very important to Atletico Madrid now, he doesn't command a league game, but if he doesn't have a good rest, if he rests for a month or two with a serious illness, all Atletico Madrid's games will be paralyzed!

Seeing that the top boss had spoken, and thinking about it, he felt that he was sneezing one sneeze after another in the coach's seat and it was a little unseemly, Dick could only reluctantly accept this decision, and he obediently rested at home in bed for the next two days.

After a day's rest, Dick's spirits improved a little, and in fact the cold became heavier this time because Dick was self-inflicted, he thought he could carry it, and then he didn't even take medicine - it turns out that taking medicine after a cold can have a huge effect not only psychologically, but also physically.

Dick watched Atletico's first match after the New Year on the TV the next day, but unfortunately the result disappointed him, although Belleron opened the scoring for Atletico in the first half, but in the second half Marriner's tactical changes were clearly not as good as the opposing coach, and Tamudo's goal saved the Spaniard's face at home and ended Atletico's four-game winning streak.

Dick sighed and turned off the TV, the draw in this game was a pity, with the state of the players should be able to win, but the opponent played well at home, and in the second half Marriner had several tactical command opportunities did not seize, watching the three points become one point - Dick did not blame Marriner, but felt that he was too sick at the wrong time......

"Damn, when Lao Tzu recovers from his illness, I'll slowly clean you up." Dick said through gritted teeth on the bed.
