    What Dick didn't expect was that this conversation with Hill would directly prompt an Atletico Madrid legend to leave sadly at the end of the season - after he talked with Hill, at the end of the season, the old Hill once talked to Baseball  Kiko had a secret meeting. After that meeting, Kiko announced his departure from Atletico Madrid. Instead, he joined Cordoba, the C-level team where he debuted, on a free transfer. Two years later, Kiko quietly disappeared.  Retired, because even in the Spanish Third Division, his performance was not good-since he was seriously injured in the game against Barcelona at the end of 1998 and missed a year, Kiko is indeed no longer the one who led the Spanish Olympic team to win the 1992  Kiko, the Olympic champion, is also not the Kiko who led Atletico Madrid to win the double championship. His body has begun to completely decline, and he has completely lost his previous grace.

    From this point of view, when Atletico Madrid succeeded in relegation, they chose to leave peacefully. They were relegated with Atletico Madrid in history but did not play any role in the second division. As a result, Atletico Madrid failed to upgrade quickly. As a result, Atletico Madrid fans scolded them.  The result of leaving sadly is much better than Kiko leaving in this way. At least for a long time, Atletico Madrid fans will miss the wonderful days he brought.

    Sometimes when Dick thinks back, he can't help but sigh - in fact, based on his original intention, he was unwilling to treat such a banner player. However, he had to face too many problems when he joined Atletico Madrid.  , all his energy was used to quickly control the team and continuously win in the next games to complete the great cause of relegation. He had no time to find out the reasons for Kiko's decline and find ways to improve his performance.  His performance could be better and he could have some effect If he had taken over half a year earlier, when the team's situation had not deteriorated so much, he might have helped Kiko recover to a certain level. However, there are only six rounds left in the league.  After hurriedly taking over, the only thing he could do was to use Kiko to establish his authority.

    Establishing authority by taking down Kiko is something that Dick has carefully considered. First, the rock of Kiko is big enough. If you move Kiko, you can express to all the players that I dare to touch even Kiko, and no one else can.  Even if he wants to be disobedient, I can still deal with him!  Coupled with Hill's support behind him, he can do the miracle of commanding the entire team in a day or two.  Second, Kiko's strength has indeed dropped a lot, and he no longer has much effect on the team. Winning him will not damage Atletico Madrid's already quite weak strength at the time.  The last point is more important - because he knows what kind of person Kiko is. This person's love for Atletico Madrid is undoubted, and he has never been a ball dominance type. He will not take him from the main position.  He didn't stir up trouble in the locker room, and he stayed silent when the team was able to win.

    This approach is of course a bit sorry for Kiko, but in that case, Dick could only choose to do this. This was the only way that allowed him to take care of the entire team in just over a month.

    So Dick actually felt a little guilty about Kiko, so that later in 2021, Atletico Madrid held a party to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its official establishment (although they were founded in 1903, it was not until 1921 that Bilbao  When Dick, who had already left Atletico Madrid, met Kiko, who had retired for a long time, at a party, Dick, who claims to never admit his mistakes, expressed his apology to Kiko in front of countless reporters.  Kiko laughed and didn't show any concern - he had already figured it out during those two bad seasons in the Spanish Third Division. At that time, he was indeed no longer able to serve as Atletico Madrid's main force!

    Of course, this is a thing for another time.

    After chatting with Old Hill, Dick went to prepare for the next round of the league - in this round, Atletico Madrid will challenge Barcelona away from home, and then they will stay in Barcelona for a while, because midweek  It will be an away game against Barcelona again, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

    Playing against Barcelona three times in a row made Dick feel very happy - being able to continuously mess with Barcelona at the critical moment when Barcelona was trying to win the Triple Crown was like taking his destiny into his own hands. If he couldn't defeat them, he would also bring them down.  They, let them not win a championship!

    And Dick also has a reason to fight hard in this game. No matter what, he must get at least one point when facing Barcelona. In this round, Real Betis is an away challenge to Mallorca, which has successfully avoided relegation in advance.  I wonder if this island team will slack off at this time. Numancia is also playing against Racing Santander, which has successfully relegated in advance. Although La Liga is unlikely to have the habit of teams starting to give away favors after successfully relegating.  ¡ª¡ªSerie A teams have this habit more often, and there are also cases where they send points to Serie B, such as Bologna after one or two seasons. However, Atletico Madrid is also a strong team. SeeThe misfortune of a strong team is something that all middle and lower-tier teams like to see and enjoy. Previously, Malaga chose to fight Atletico Madrid when there was no danger of being relegated. It must be said that it was because of this mentality.

    Therefore, Atletico Madrid must get at least one point in this game. In this case, even if Numancia wins Racing Santander away and is four points ahead of Atletico Madrid, it will still have to catch up in the last three rounds. If it falls behind by five points, then  It¡¯s very, very difficult

    This game is also a hurdle for Atletico Madrid. After passing Barcelona, ??Atletico Madrid's next three opponents will not have any top teams. As long as they are directed well, it is still possible to win.

    When Dick led Atletico Madrid to Barcelona, ??they were unwelcome by the entire Barcelona.

    Barcelona fans naturally hate Atletico Madrid, but they hate Dick even more. Who made him openly declare that Barcelona would not win a championship this season when he was coaching La Liga?  You must know that the team Dick coached at that time had nothing to do with Barcelona. He seemed to hate Barcelona so much. Barcelona fans would naturally hate him. What's more, after winning against Barcelona in the last round, he still seemed so graceless.  The TV and media in Catalonia have been vilifying Dick. It would be strange if Barcelona fans still treat Dick like a passerby

    Another small group of non-Barcelona fans in the Barcelona area, that is, the Spanish fans, do not have a good impression of Atletico Madrid. They played well away from home in the Copa del Rey semi-finals and are very likely to enter the Copa del Rey final. Of course, they are not interested in Atletico Madrid.  I don't like a team that may be their rival in the final - besides, the Spaniard is one of Real Madrid's staunch allies, and Atletico Madrid is Real Madrid's rival in the same city, and the relationship between them is not very good

    Coming to Barcelona, ??Atletico Madrid has come to a place where everyone is hostile to them. Although Atletico Madrid players are experienced in many battles, they are also a little worried about this.

    Faced with this hostile atmosphere, Dick didn't seem to care at all. He just wandered around the hotel in a nonchalant manner every day. Seeing him showing no seriousness at all, Atletico Madrid players felt calmer.  - At least the good performance in recent games is all because of this head coach. Since he doesn't seem to care at all, what do we care?  We all followed his instructions, and even if we were downgraded in the end, it would not be our fault

    Although Dick¡¯s careless appearance made the always rigid Marriner a little uncomfortable, he had to admit that Dick¡¯s lackadaisical attitude did a good job of resolving the nervousness of the Atletico Madrid players

    "What's there to be afraid of, guys? No matter how much their fans hate us and they can't rush out from the stands and beat us up, the most they can do is after we beat them, when we're celebrating at Camp Nou, they'll beat us."  The sprinklers in the stadium were just turned on to shower us Don't forget, what is the purpose of our coming here - at least one point, to get three points, and make them so depressed! How did they lose to us in the last game?  Our defense and counterattack! Let¡¯s do a better job in defense in this game, so that they can¡¯t get through our door even if they are eager to attack. Then our goal will be accomplished! Barcelona¡¯s biggest focus is on the Champions League.  , as long as we act like we are going to fight them until the end, they will be the ones who are afraid, do you understand?¡±

    Before the game started, after arriving in the Camp Nou locker room, Dick said this to the players. This tactic was originally the tactic he had arranged for the players in the past few days, so  The players also know what to do in this game.

    From the midfield to the penalty area, Barcelona has to compete with Barcelona in consumption, until they can't stand it anymore. Atletico Madrid can pour all their energy into every game, but can Barcelona?  Nowadays, Atletico Madrid is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Even if they lose, if they can drag you to exhaustion, it is a victory!

    As long as you show such momentum and focus more on Barcelona in the Champions League, you will also be beating the drum in your heart, right?

    After understanding this, Atletico Madrid players began to relax a little, and then they saw their head coach starting to wander around the Nou Camp locker room like a country bumpkin.

    "Well, Barcelona is so rich, I thought the faucets in their locker room were all made of gold It turns out it's about the same as Calderon's. It doesn't seem to be as good as Calderon's locker room."

    Dick's tone with a hint of disappointment made the players laugh. They had all been to the Camp Nou locker room, but this was really the first time for Dick to come - although Camp Nou is well-known,  Calderon Stadium is not worse than them at all. Calderon StadiumIt was the first football stadium in Spain with a capacity of 60,000 people. Later, it was renovated and the capacity was reduced to the current 57,500 people. Even a few years later, when UEFA began to evaluate five-star stadiums  , the Calderon Stadium is also the first stadium in Spain to be rated as a five-star stadium, before Camp Nou and the Bernabeu were rated as five-star stadiums!

    In addition, there will definitely be a gap between the facilities in the home team locker room and the visiting team locker room, so Dick's performance is nothing more than telling all Atletico Madrid players, what do you have to worry about?  We are also a top team like Barcelona and Real Madrid. At most, our performance in the past two years has only been a little bit worse. Psychologically, we have no disadvantages at all!

    I have to say that this kind of performance is still very useful, especially when facing a strong enemy like Barcelona. Dick has always been improving the team's morale and increasing their self-confidence, so that they can have more success.  Much to rely on!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and let Barcelona know that our performance in the last game was not an accident!¡± Dick waved his hand and said loudly.
