    July 27th, Atletico Madrid training base.

    Dick and Marriner stood side by side at the training ground. Dick smiled and said, "Well, now we finally have twenty-five players in the first team It's time to fight on the third line."

    This summer Atletico Madrid only left one player and joined three players. Last season Atletico Madrid only had 23 first-team players, and now it is exactly 25. This is also the first team of a team regulated by La Liga.  The maximum number of people you can have.

    Stam was worth 24 million, Jorgensen was worth 12 million, and Hagi joined for free. Dick was more merciful this time. Dick only spent 36 million of the club's 40 million transfer fee.  The remaining money was naturally returned to the club's account. Dick was not the kind of person who had to spend all the money he had. Even if it was not his own money, he couldn't waste it.

    "The joining of Stam caused a big sensation. Now the newspapers are saying that you are an Italian head coach. After taking office, your two biggest investments were spent on central defenders." Mari  Na said with a smile.

    "Defense is the foundation. If you don't defend well, how can you attack?" Dick snorted: "The Italian head coach these guys are really good at knocking people off."

    "But the fans are very happy, they think it is a good acquisition, especially Stam is a member of the Triple Crown, which will be of great help to our participation in the Champions League They even think you have the potential to break 74  Champions League runner-up record in 2018." Marriner laughed.

    "Well, they are really greedy But if I have the chance, I also want to win the Champions League." Dick shrugged: "I sometimes feel that fans are more discerning than reporters. Obviously, we  To buy Stam is to rely on his Champions League experience. Now that the Champions League bonuses are so much, if you can take a step forward, the transfer fee on him will not be wasted."

    "They think too much. If you buy people, unknown people, they say you're wasting money. If you buy famous players, they say you spend too much. Anyway, no matter how picky they are, they are justified." Stay with Dick  Over time, Marriner seemed to be affected, and began to unconsciously describe those reporters in a contemptuous tone.

    The two people were chatting, and the training time was almost here. Soon, the players began to walk out of the locker room and came to the training ground.

    After looking at his watch and seeing that the time had reached ten o'clock, Dick counted the number of people. There were twenty-five people, not a single person was missing, and no one was late. This made Dick nod with satisfaction.  .

    "Most of you, together with me, created a brilliant season last season. League championship, UEFA Cup championship. This is the most glorious season in Atletico Madrid's history. But this will not be the end.  , because we will attack in a higher direction this season, and we have retained all the main players, as well as the three new players Stam, Jorgensen and Haji. Now, whether they are the main players or the substitutes, we  They have become very strong, so this season, we have to attack to defend the league championship and the Champions League championship! In Atletico Madrid's history, it has only defended the league championship twice and has never won the Champions League.  Champion! We have to do something that no one has ever done before. We have to be the first to defend the Champions League! In the future, we will strive for three consecutive championships and create Atletico Madrid.  The best result in history I have never denied that I am an ambitious head coach. Are you willing to follow me, an ambitious head coach, to strive for some honors? "

    "Of course I do, boss!"

    The Atletico Madrid players shouted in confusion, and for the three newly joined players, they were also very happy that Dick expressed his thoughts without reservation - Stam is used to winning championships.  Manchester United has won at least one heavyweight championship every season. Jorgensen is tired of being in the middle of the pack at Udinese and occasionally making it to European competitions. As for Haji, his thoughts are more  To put it simply, he has been in the European continent for nearly ten years. During his four years in Nancy, his best result was third in Ligue 1. The year he joined Sporting Lisbon, he won the runner-up in the Portuguese Super League.  In the two seasons at Coru?a, he failed to catch up with Deportivo to win the championship. In Coventry, he only focused on relegation. Now that he has joined Atletico Madrid at this age, he does not care whether he plays the main team or not.  He just wants to win one or two important championships in his career, which is why he is willing to play as a substitute at Atletico Madrid for a low salary.

    It has to be said that Atletico Madrid won two consecutive heavyweight championships last season, which made them more attractive.

    Next, Dick introduced three new players to the old players. It is obvious that after these three people joined, Atletico Madrid became much more competitive, which also made Atletico Madrid more competitive.The competition within the club has begun to become more intense, but considering that Atletico Madrid still has Champions League games to play this season, there will be many opportunities to play, and the players are mentally prepared for this.

    There is nothing to say about what happened after that. The pre-season training has just begun, so naturally there won¡¯t be too much ball content. All players are preparing for physical fitness under the leadership of fitness coach Cabello. They are not rookies, so naturally they know  Physical reserves will be of great help to the new season.

    During the physical training, Dick did not appear at the training ground. Instead, he went to his office with Marriner and began to discuss the tactics and matching training content for the new season.

    "Last season our 4-5-1 achieved great success, but to be honest, this tactic seemed very single. In many games late last season, if I hadn't often made tactical adjustments, I'm afraid it would have been used by others long ago.  See it through." Dick said directly to Marriner after sitting down at his desk.

    "It's like this. There is no tactic that cannot be resolved. Although our main tactic last year was stable, it was also easy to be targeted. For example, in the UEFA Cup final, when we conceded those two goals, it was because Jardel was closely guarded by the opponent.  The defensive effect was not particularly good. If our players had not quickly performed well, the final result of the game would have been very dangerous." Marriner nodded, although he directed the team.  I'm not good at it, but I still have vision and can see the problem, but I can't solve it better.

    "Through last season's games, the players have become proficient in four or five tactics, and now it is time to train backup tactics. We now have so many excellent forwards, and it is a waste to only play a single forward. In extreme situations  , We can use the tactic of two centers and two wingers, and we can also use the tactic of four midfielders and two forwards in normal offense. The key is that the players need to be more proficient in attacking methods under various tactics. "

    "For example, last season we often used the tactic of having Jardel and Cruz form a double center, and then Belleron positioned deep and let the two wingers go up to continuously create opportunities in the middle?" Marriner asked.

    "This is one of them, but of course it's not that simple. We have many unique offensive players in the frontcourt. The wingers don't necessarily have to keep crossing the ball. The center pulls out to attract the attention of the opponent's central defender.  The opponent's penalty area becomes more empty, and then the winger breaks into the penalty area and looks for loopholes We will slowly practice the specific tactics through training. You have to come up with a detailed schedule for the training content."  K said after nodding.

    "No problem." Marriner agreed happily: "In fact, the tactics are all interoperable. The formation is just what it means on paper. When playing on the court, running more flexible and changeable will also have good effects.  No matter how the formation changes, it still depends on the cooperation between the players and their habitual running methods.¡±

    Dick glanced at Marriner in surprise, and then laughed: "Robert, can you think of this? If you study hard in this area, I think you can also coach a team on your own."

    "It's easy to detect things in theory, but it's not so easy to use them in games." Marriner shrugged: "Just because I understand these things doesn't mean I can use them in practice  People are really different sometimes.¡±

    Hearing what Marriner said, Dick smiled. He believed this. Otherwise, there would be so many people taking coaching courses in the world, and there would only be so many famous coaches in the end?  It is not an exaggeration to say that one is chosen from a million. Every era is nothing more than an era where seven or eight famous coaches compete. There will always be some extraordinary people who are half a step ahead of everyone else. In the world of football,  On the stage of the altar, everyone's eyes are focused on themselves.

    "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly under my command After all, assistants like you are hard to find During the pre-season training, I still need to rely on you to contribute a lot." Di  Ke said with a smile.

    Mariner nodded: "Of course, this is my job."

    Looking at Marriner's back as he walked out, Dick laughed. He did not increase his income this summer. In the newly discussed contract details, he only added a reward for his performance in the Champions League - entering the eighth round.  If he reaches the semi-finals, he will receive a bonus of US$1 million. If he reaches the finals and wins the championship, he will get a bonus of US$3 million. The details of other league bonuses are the same as last season.  However, at Dick's request, Atletico Madrid significantly increased the income of assistant coaches such as Marriner. Dick emphasized that with their help, he would be able to achieve better results. In this regard, Atletico Madrid?The club will naturally not be stingy. If they can play in the Champions League group stage, their income will be close to 10 million US dollars, and they don't care about the bonus.

    This is how European football is now. If you invest a lot, you have a higher chance of good results. If you achieve good results in the Champions League, you can have more income - of course there are huge dangers. For example, after Lazio continued to spend money  It began to go bankrupt gradually. The same example is Leeds United, which started to embark on a vicious cycle after huge expenditure risks failed. Now European football is like some stock markets, everyone is doing it to make a fortune.  There are indeed not many dreams that can actually succeed.

    Dick is also taking a risk this time, but his risk has a certain degree of certainty. Atletico Madrid's current expenditure is not too small, for one goal - to win the Champions League and let the club reach its most glorious scene.  !
