Chapter 38: Familiarity

Whether it is a coincidence or not, it will take time to verify, but in this game, the Atletico players continued to firmly control the midfield and did not give Malaga much chance, and they continued to attack in the hope of scoring again.

Such a positive performance, Atletico Madrid fans have not seen for a long time.

When the game reached the 80th minute, Belleron broke through to create a free kick, Hasselbaink took the penalty, the ball hit the wall and bounced into the penalty area, Solari grabbed the first drop in the penalty area and stabbed the goal, 4-2, Atletico Madrid completely established the victory of the game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Calderón stadium became a sea of joy, how many rounds, Atletico Madrid fans finally saw a victory, or such a victory with many twists and turns!

Dick let out a sigh of relief - fuck, a win is really not easy, it took two goal cards to take it - but it's okay, after all, it still won, otherwise it would be a big loss to spend another goal card and not win the game!

However, he knows that this victory is just the beginning, and just one victory will not change the status quo of Atletico Madrid, and only by continuing to win can Atletico Madrid's situation be improved and make his reputation even bigger!

And even after this game, it doesn't mean that he will be able to take a good rest......

While the Atletico players began to celebrate, reporters poured into the pitch and began to interview Dick – it was useless to interview others, and everyone knew that Dick was the protagonist.

Less than a week into office, as a manager with no resume or qualifications, Dick gathered the whole team and quickly won a victory - not a great achievement, but only those who know the current situation of Atletico Madrid know how remarkable these things Dick has done!

"Mr. Dick, congratulations on leading your team to victory in the first game!"

The first to rush up was Musampa, Dick naturally wanted to look at the reporter who helped him with something, and when he heard Musampa say this, Dick laughed: "Thank you for your congratulations...... I'm also glad that the players are still in good spirits, otherwise I wouldn't have won this game. ”

"Let Belleron's position retreat, do you think he can organize in the back?" Musampa then asked a second question.

It's a question that tickles Dick's itch, what is it that a manager can bring out the potential in his players and bring victory to the team? That's the record!

When asked what he was proud of, Dick naturally looked at Musampa more and more pleasing to the eye: "That's right, that's it...... Belleron is a talented playmaker, his big-picture vision and ability to pass the ball is one of the best among Spanish players, and he can make the most of his ability in the back position, and if he continues to play like this, he may be able to become a player who surpasses Pep Guardiola, he has this potential and I will give him that opportunity. ”

Speaking of Belleron, and then to Barcelona's captain Pep Guardiola, Dick's resentment towards Barcelona is really not ordinary......

For Dick's words, the reporters only thought he was farting, anyway, Belleron did perform well in this game, he let him say whatever he wanted.

Musampa wanted to ask a third question, but other reporters wouldn't let him alone, and immediately another reporter asked: "You didn't change anyone in this game, what is the reason?" ”

"Atletico need to play as a whole, the eleven people in this game have gradually developed a whole look, of course I won't destroy it easily, anyway, there is no problem with their fitness after one game a week, isn't it?"

"Nakiko sat on the bench for ninety minutes......"

"That's tactical."

Speaking of this question, Dick made a straight face, for Kiko he has been booed into a fool by Atletico Madrid fans, and he naturally has little patience in the face of such a problem.

Seeing that the reporters were about to mention Kiko, Dick immediately raised his hands: "Okay, everyone, I'm going to celebrate the victory with the players now, if there is any problem, I'll talk about it at the press conference!" ”

After shouting this, Dick squeezed out of the crowd, not bothering to say anything more.

The reporters put away the recorders with a smile, and the monks can't run away from the temple, you always need to go to the press conference, right? I'll just ask you when the time comes! Although he won the game, he replaced the previous three main players, one of which was a figure like Kiko, and wanted to escape? No kidding!

After Dick squeezed out of the group of reporters, he immediately beckoned to the players: "Guys, signal to the stands, if you want to be relegated, we can't do without the support of the fans!" ”

The players were happy with his proposal, and now that they have won, everyone is happy, and what Dick says, that's what it is......

Seeing Dick lead the players to the stands to greet him, most of the fans in the stands seemed very happy, well, this young head coach is very close to the people......

Naturally, there are still a lot of people who can't get used to Dick's existence, and Dick doesn't care - most fans have expressed a good impression of themselves, that's enough, as long as they win all the way, their supporters will be more and more!

"How does it feel to organize in the back of the house today?" While celebrating, Dick turned his head to ask Belleron beside him.

"It feels good, sir, you're right." Belleron replied simply.

After the celebration, the next step was to go to the press conference, Dick tidied up his clothes, and then called Belleron and asked him to follow him to the press conference.

This is also a good way to make Belleron his own lineage, and Dick naturally won't use it.

Dick doesn't really like to use these tricks too much, but he doesn't have the qualifications and power now, so what if he doesn't win over some players? It just so happens that Atletico Madrid's dressing room is not too complicated, after all, with an iron-fisted chairman like Hill, the situation in the locker room is still relatively stable, Dick suppressed a veteran like Kiko as soon as he came up, of course, he needs to cultivate his own power in the young Zhuang faction, Belleron and Baraja are such young Zhuang factions, and they have become Dick's wooing targets.

After arriving at the press conference, Dick shook hands with Pedro, the opposing manager, before sitting down.

Pedro's expression is very calm, he has no enmity with Dick, and Malaga has no enmity with Atletico Madrid, although he wants to win to gain more capital for himself, but it doesn't matter if he can't win, Malaga has nothing to lose anyway.

So the reporters didn't pay much attention to the game itself, Atletico Madrid won this game, and the points were only 35 points, still in the second from the bottom, five points behind 17th-placed Numancia - the team drew with Celta in this round. Málaga's defeat will have little impact on their standings, as they are not in danger of relegation and are unlikely to qualify for next season's UEFA Cup.

And what is worth digging out is the personnel changes of Atletico Madrid......

"Mr. Dick, you became the manager of Atletico's second team six months ago and you became the first team manager six months later, is there any reason for that?"

The first reporter's question was more insidious - turning a corner to make others think that Dick can have such a rocket-like rising speed, it must be deliberately pleasing the old Hill to make him so nepotistic, in fact, Dick can be the head coach of the second team is really to the old Hill to do it, and becoming the first team coach is Atletico has no way to do it, but when the reporter asks like this, it has to make people think a little more......

"Six months ago, when I was the manager of Atletico's second team, they were second to last in La Liga, and when I stepped down six months later, they were first in La Liga. Dick scoffed: "Before I became interim coach of Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid had not won ten league games, and today I commanded the first game and Atletico Madrid won. What's with? Here's why! ”

As soon as Dick put his results out, everyone was speechless, you must know that Old Hill made Dick the head coach of course meant to make him a shield, but if it wasn't for Dick's outstanding achievements in the second team, would he think of Dick? No kidding!

"We noticed that Atletico's starting line-up for this game was very different from before...... Could this be the reason for the victory? The second reporter followed up with another sentence, which was not a good one, and was clearly trying to sow discord between Dick and the player - although the relationship is not good now.

"The reason for winning is because I'm directing the game, and it turns out that the game I'm directing is much more likely to win." Dick dropped the topic aside with a direct Tai Chi.

"Kiko didn't start, what is the reason for that? I heard that you took Kiko off the main squad on the second day of your appointment, is there such a thing? The third reporter simply picked out the topic.

'Because I need to strengthen the midfield, there's only one striker on the pitch and I'm the best striker in Hasselbaink, so I use him for no other reason. In my opinion, all players are the same, I use the tactics that are in good shape for me, and I don't use the tactics that are not suitable for me when I am not in good shape, it's as simple as that. ”

"Na Molina replaces Tony, Sandy replaces Gamarara......" the fourth reporter asked.

"This is my right to transfer troops, what, you still want to teach me how to lead the team to play?"

"The next round is away to Valencia, will Kiko play?" The fifth reporter asked.

"What is Valencia's starting line-up for the next round, can you tell me?" Dick asked, with only one meaning - who I send or who I don't send, that's a secret, and I can't tell you.

Anyway, Dick is a point, about whether Kiko plays or not, that's my business, and it has nothing to do with anyone else...... Who wants to point fingers? Let's get the approval of Old Hill, anyway, I led the team to win, and I have the final say in the team's affairs!

By the end of the press conference, the reporters had a preliminary impression of Dick - this was a mad dog, because of his old feud with Barcelona, he would sarcastically say a word or two about Barcelona even when he was interviewed on other issues. This is a tyrant because he believes in listening to him alone in the team. This is a guy who hinders the freedom of the press, because when asked a little more in-depth he will say that it is a secret and has nothing to say......

Reporters who are not yet familiar with Dick are now a little familiar with Dick......
