Chapter Ninety-Eight: Unprofessional Rotation

Updated: 2013-04-03

After the third round of La Liga, there was no news about Dick's previous doubts. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

In a match-up at home, Atletico Madrid beat their opponents 4-2 beautifully, with the three players who scored the goal all brought in this summer, while Dick's choice to keep Belleron and Baraja dominated the midfield, making the departure of Farinos and Gerard seem so obvious......

Although Valencia has not lost, it is rare for them to lose like this in the past two years, for example, although they lost 1-2 to Real Madrid this season, but people who watched that game will not think that Real Madrid's advantage is great, basically all the media use "regret defeat" to describe Valencia's defeat at the Bernabeu, but Valencia's defeat at Calderón? They use "complete defeat"!

It was indeed a complete defeat, Atletico had the advantage on the field in the first half, although the score was only a draw, and after Valencia strengthened their attack in the second half, they beat the opponent back with a stronger attack, this victory, no one can say anything!

Rodriguez published an article in his column about "Atletico Madrid's performance is up and down, not a long-term solution", Dick ignored him at all, but Barcelona fans began to be a little dissatisfied, since the beginning of the new season, Barcelona also lost the game in the second round, and now ranks fifth behind Atletico Madrid with a goal difference, which is also a very bad start for Barcelona, Barcelona fans buy the World Sports Newspaper to see if there is any good news about Barcelona, who wants to watch Atletico Madrid and Dick!

At this time, the World Sports newspaper found out one of its mistakes - the World Sports Newspaper and the Daily Sports Newspaper are nothing in the whole of Spain, and the sales can only be regarded as average, and the Marca newspaper that can be ranked among the top ten media in Spain as a sports newspaper is not comparable, but their sales in Catalonia are all over the Marca newspaper, the reason is because they almost only report things related to Barcelona, and most people in Catalonia are Barcelona fans, One copy of Barcelona's membership alone is enough to sell hundreds of thousands of copies of Le Monde Sport, and if this column is only against Dick, then the conceivable consequence is that this column will not be of interest to any readers......

If Barcelona had been in a good season in previous seasons, Barcelona fans would have loved to see the media sneer at other teams, but now that the results are not good, you can just say things that they are not interested in...... Damn, look for death!

"Looks like we need to change the 'Perspective Mirror' column." The editor-in-chief didn't blame Rodriguez, he knew that his decision-making was not thoughtful: "In the future, this column should be based on digging into some hidden things of other teams in La Liga, of course, these teams also need to have a distinction between before and after, understand, you can not comment, but you can report it fairly." ”

Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted - digging up all kinds of news? Unbiased reporting? Hmph, this is also a way to get Atletico in trouble! For example, in the last game, Dick played assistant coach Marriner's bench on the sidelines, although Dick said in the press conference that he was joking with Marriner, but was it really a joke? The assistant coach can fly his feet to kick his ass at will, and this kind of barbaric behavior can be directly reported without comment, which can make the audience's impression of Dick even worse!

The old method of publishing a review article a week was not very good, after all, it was easy to be perceived as deliberately attacking Dick - Rodriguez suffered a lot of damage to Dick is now well known, and if it was just a report, there would be no problem in this regard, the comments are likely to be subjective, and the reports are often objective - this is a misconception of many people, who think that reporters just write the truth about what they have interviewed, but they ignore the fact that there are many reporters who are very smart. The so-called stuff such as carrying private goods in the article, the vast majority of reporters are very handy, and even the same sentence, truncated and put in the newspaper, are all two meanings - a typical example is the famous emperor of Chinese football in later generations, in fact, people are just in an interview, thinking that their performance in this game is very good, especially when the strength is worse than the other party, he won a lot of time for the team in the front court to protect the ball, and then jokingly said: " I'm a bit like Henry, isn't it? "—what's wrong with that? The average amateur player will boast to his partners that his movements are like Ronaldo, Zidane, Maradona, and Baggio...... But when his words came to the newspaper, it was, "So-and-so confidently said after the game, my ball protection is like Henry!" Coupled with the key single goal in the Asian Cup, the emperor became the object of ridicule and connotation of fans across the country, which can really be regarded as an unwarranted disaster.

It seems that this way to deal with Dick is much better than the previous method!

After thinking about this, Rodriguez was very excited, and he looked at the editor-in-chief with admiration - no wonder people can be editors-in-chief, this brain is different!

While Rodriguez and the editor-in-chief were laughing gloomily, Dick was laughing equally lewdly in his apartment, and after playing six games in the new season, he finally got another card.

Injury card, senior. Used before the start of a match, it allows three players in the opposing team to miss the game against them with injuries and return to the team after the game is over, with no sequelae.

"This thing is fierce!" Dick laughed out loud, such a card, if it is used before some important finals, even if it can only hit one or two main players, what a big blow will it be to the opponent's preparation? Dick would be a little hesitant if there were any serious consequences, after all, as a fan in his previous life, he was very reluctant to see those talented players perform poorly or even leave the field early due to injuries, since there are no sequelae...... It's just that I don't play against my team, so it doesn't matter......

You must know that although Dick has a lot of confidence in Atletico Madrid's current strength, and believes that there is no problem for the team to qualify for next season's Champions Cup, but in the Cup, the chance is quite large, and such an injury card is undoubtedly an insurance for Atletico Madrid's road to the League Cup, in the words of the online game, that is one more chance of resurrection than the other party!

Now in addition to the fifteen advanced goal cards he has on hand, two medical cards are in case of emergency, and the other scout cards and goal cards have been used, and being able to have one more card like this will certainly be of great help for the next season.

After the match against Valencia, Atletico will not be able to rest easily as they are about to face the second leg of the UEFA Cup.

But for Dick, it's not that he can't rest - although he has already played a game against this opponent, Dick still can't remember the name of this Slovenian team, and it's not that he is really so heartless, mainly because the opponent's performance in the first leg really can't arouse his interest, and the opponent's name is too awkward......

"Rotate and play this game with a bench." Dick waved his hand and set the tone for the game.

With Cruz and Correa up front, Vicente, Bonovic, Beybur and Bakas in midfield, David, Marchena, Sandy and Hector in the backline and Mora in goalkeeper, Dick once again fielding the full bench in this game, a seemingly ambitious move that delighted Atletico fans.

Atletico Madrid fans have their own pride, they insist that their team is a giant, a strong team - and this is true in terms of historical results, although the defeat in previous seasons has made them seem to have started to lose this pride, but by beating Valencia at home in the last round, let this pride return to the players, but also to the fans!

A team from Slovenia who doesn't know what it's called, and still uses us as the main team? The substitution is enough to take them out!

And Atletico's substitutes are also very happy, after all, they have been able to get the opportunity to play at the beginning of the season, and this is a good opportunity for them, if they perform well, and if any player in the main squad is sluggish, they could be part of the main squad - that's what they want to see, Dick, gave them that hope.

Generally speaking, few managers use large-scale rotation at the beginning of the season, because no matter what the game can also lose, the season has just begun, the main players are in good physical condition and physical condition, and playing consecutive games can make their form of continuity, so that they can start well, and it is also very important for the whole season......

But Dick, the layman, didn't care about this, perhaps because of his appetite, he didn't just watch the one or two games in front of him, but the whole season - the players' physical strength is limited, and they can save a little if they can save a little, and let the substitutes play a few more games in some easy games, so that they are more comfortable, so that they don't go crazy in idleness......

It was this unprofessional approach that brought Dick an unexpected benefit – he followed it in his future coaching career, so that his players rarely felt any resentment when he was in charge, because although he divided the line between the main force and the substitutes very strictly, he always gave the substitutes some chance to play.

Of course, Dick didn't know what would happen in the future, and he was only focused on the game in front of him.

Atletico at home only fielded all the substitutes, but they still beat their opponents comfortably - they beat Ljubljana 3-0 at home, Bonovic opened the scoring for the team, and Cruise scored the second goal, the third goal was not important at all, but the crowd erupted in cheers!

Because the goal was scored by substitute Torres!

After receiving Vicente's cross, Torres pushed the ball into the back of the net in the face of an empty goal, which was not spectacular, but for the seventeen-year-old Torres he had already set a club record - he was the youngest Atletico player to score in a European match!
