Five million dollars, 200,000 per player — a money that Dick has said the coaching staff won't ask for a single cent — actually has a million dollars in prize money of his own, and he also got a bonus for Marina, so he was naturally generous.

Although Atletico Madrid's player salaries are quite high, when is this time? It was a time when European football had not yet begun to burn money, and it was a time when superstars like Figo and Rivaldo were still only paid $3 million a year – otherwise Figo would not have signed the famous private deal with Florentino for a mere $350,000, and $200,000 was in front of all the players, and as long as they did what Dick dictated, they would be able to get an extra month or two of wages.

In any case, on the one hand, the future is threatened, and on the other hand, the bonus is used as a temptation, and the Atletico Madrid players have temporarily begun to listen to Dick, the head coach, and on the first day of Dick's first team in the Atletico Madrid team, he used a combination of rigidity and softness to get the effect he wanted.

Of course, violent means can't last long, in the final analysis, it is necessary to turn the team's results around, Atletico Madrid has not won a game for a long time - Antich's six rounds of winless, plus the previous Ranieri team four rounds of winless, Atletico Madrid has not won a game in ten rounds of the league, and the draw is only four games, and the morale of the whole team has reached the bottom.

At this time, what Atletico Madrid needs is a win to unite people's hearts, as long as they can win a game, then it is easy to say anything, using carrots and sticks, Dick can barely suppress the players in the next period of time, or can do it.

As for next season...... Let's talk about it next season, Atletico Madrid's large-scale blood exchange next season is imperative, Dick doesn't care how many players he offends, Atletico Madrid's internal is not particularly complicated, because there is an iron-fisted Hill pressed on it, as long as Hill has support, he really doesn't worry that the players will unite against him.

After doing all this, Dick waved his hand and asked Marriner to direct the players to train, and he watched from the sidelines without saying a word - he didn't direct the training, he was on the sidelines of the training field, just observing the condition and strength of the players, and at the same time quickly getting acquainted with the players.

Molina, Capdevilla, Baraja, Hasselbaink, Solari, Belleron, these are the players he is more familiar with, and he is not particularly familiar with the others, but he has been following the situation of the first team in recent months, and he also has a certain understanding of those players who are not very famous in later generations.

Kiko, the current prince of Atletico Madrid, the figure who can compete with Raul in the whole of Madrid, is now 27 years old, is Atletico's number one striker, and is also a Spanish international, who scored two goals in Spain's 6-1 win over Bulgaria in the 98 World Cup - that was also the last performance of the Spanish national team in the 98 World Cup.

However, in Dick's view, this prince is now far from the all-powerful Kiko a few years ago, except for the celebration after the goal, which is far from the all-powerful Kiko, who has only scored four goals this season, and his form has dropped to a mess, and after two years in history, he chose to retire at the age of twenty-nine, indicating that his physical fitness has declined a lot.

What Dick didn't know was that after the relegation this season in history, Kiko did not leave and stayed, and Atletico Madrid fans excitedly shouted "With Kiko, there is hope!" As a result, Kiko did not score a single goal in West Ethic, Atletico did not succeed in promotion, Kiko left in disgrace amid the scolding of Atletico fans, Torres managed to take the position - and then a year later, Kiko retired.

"I don't have any modifiers that change my physical fitness, so let's go under the knife." Dick thought to himself - in his opinion, Kiko has nothing to save, his form has dropped a lot, he is just an ordinary striker, he will retire in a year or two, what is the use of saving? From a personal point of view, if Kiko doesn't leave, Torres won't be able to take the position, and of course he hopes to put Torres, who is already half of his lineage, on the throne.

As for the other Spanish international striker Lardin, he is also in poor form, the legendary talented striker has never shown his quality since joining Atletico Madrid, and now he is in his fourth year at Atletico Madrid, scoring a total of six goals......

Uruguayan striker Correa is in good form, but he is not a good goalscorer either, and he never scores much.

The only reliable one on the front line is probably Hasselbaink, who has now scored eighteen goals, which is first-class in the entire La Liga, but the overall form is poor, and it is useless for him to score more goals, just like Vieri scored four goals in a game at Atletico Madrid two years ago, but the team still lost the game 4-5.

In terms of midfield, Belleron and Baraja are both good players and players with strong potential, these two people will be the object of Dick's wooing, and these two are typical players with good character and quality, Belleron has relied on his down-to-earth style to become the core of Deportivo LaCoruna's midfield, in stark contrast to the talented and loose Dejaminha, and this person is so good that he is almost a saint, Deportivo would rather not take money to play for the team when the economy is in crisis, At the same time, he used his own money to get a ranch in his hometown and gave it to the local poor people for free to subsidize them - Lei Feng of Spain, which is proper.

Baraja is also a highly professional player after his move to Valencia, and this kind of player is something to be valued.

It's the back line that gives Dick a bit of a headache, Paraguayan defender Gamarra's ability is undoubted, he is one of the important members of Paraguay's steel defense, and he has performed well in the Brazilian league, but his performance in Atletico Madrid is quite average, and he lost to Deportivo La Coruna 1-4 in the last round, because he was not good at marking Mackay, and Mackay's hat trick was created on him, Chamot was in mediocre form, and another central defender Sandy was not young, and there were problems in the position of central defender, The two full-backs, Aguilera and Capdevilla, were not bad, but they couldn't make Atletico's defense better.

"No wonder they played so badly, it looks like they have a good hand, but in fact there are too many weaknesses or something...... Dick said with a sigh as he watched the team practice.

Now Atletico Madrid's strongest point is in the midfield, and it seems that if you want to improve your combat power quickly, you have to take an idea in the midfield.

During this day's training, Dick didn't say a word, and handed over all the training to Marriner, and he was constantly thinking about something.

"Juan, let's talk."

After the training, Dick called Belleron to his office - privately, of course, this midfielder is the player that Dick needs to rely on, Atletico Madrid's dressing room is not a monolith, Dick wants to quickly establish his authority, he has to play a faction, and among the players to be wooed, Belleron is a key point.

Belleron, Spain's Zidane, one of the two best playmakers of the Spanish 70 generation, but because of stage and personal reasons, he has not been able to play at a higher level, in Dick's opinion, he is a figure that can be compared to Xavi, of course, the top Xavi in the later period, and even in the vision and imagination of passing, he is better than Xavi, and compared with Xavi, his passing is more adventurous, but he was born a little out of time, if he was born a few years later, I'm afraid the head coach of the Spanish national team will have a headache about whether the core of the midfield is Xavi or Belleron.

And what restricts him from reaching a higher level is his character, his character can be called a gentleman, whether on the pitch or off the pitch - such a character is of course great off the pitch, but it is a little soft on the pitch, and the biggest difference between him and Zidane is his physical fitness and scoring ability, which is Zidane's innate talent, beyond the talent of the average midfielder.

"Juan, I'm calling you today to tell you one thing, from today onwards you will be the midfield commander for Atletico. The front is where you are used to playing, but you don't necessarily need to be fixed in this position...... Position is dragged back and someone comes to protect you and play your passing and dispatching abilities. Dick said straight to Belleron that Belleron's temper is a bit soft, and he is also an obedient player, and for such a player, it is most appropriate to tell him directly what you want.

"Mr. Manager, are you saying that I should play in Pep Guardiola's position?" Belleron looked down for a moment, then looked up and asked.

"That's right, that's it...... Organize from behind, dispatch, and send deadly direct passes to the front court when you have the opportunity. Maybe you're a little worse than Pep Guardiola in terms of scheduling, but you're much better than him when it comes to passing the ball. Dick said with a smile: "Charging in front is not what you are good at, but it is easy to be dragged down by the close defense of the opposing defender, and you can only play your ability at the back." ”

On this point, Dick is extremely convinced, and the Deportivo team with Belleron in later generations can be called one of the most thorough teams that have done the most thorough work of pure control of the midfield, although Deportivo has always had a strong Brazilian flavor in it, and with Belleron, the master of midfield control, is one of the most critical factors.

"I see, Mr. Coach." Belleron nodded, he was very interested in what Dick said, compared with the long-established Guardiola, who is now less than twenty-five years old, Belleron is just a junior, Dick said that he can raise him to the level of Guardiola, and Belleron is interested in doing so, even if he doesn't believe in Dick too much.

"Call me the head in the future, understand?" Dick corrected him.

Belleron nodded, "Understood, Chief." ”

Looking at the back of Belleron pushing the door and leaving, Dick laughed - this guy is really like a rumor, a revolutionary screw, where he needs to move, as long as it is not too commanding, he will obey orders, in the Spanish national team, it is clear that the forward position should be his, but because the head coach needs to let Raul play, let Raul play the front midfield, as a result, Belleron's main position is not guaranteed, but he has no signs of making trouble at all, a typical good player who takes obedience to orders as his vocation.

Such a good player should indeed be put to good use.

"Belleron organized from the back, using Baraja to let him sprint back and forth to strengthen the vitality of the midfield, the Italian Serena dragged back and swept back, Solari and Leal sprinted on the wings, this midfielder, can be regarded as the initial formation......"

Looking at the information from Malaga that Marina had sent at hand, Dick thought to himself.

Six days later, it's the home game against Malaga, and this head must be started.
