Chapter 5 Starting with coaching Atletico Madrid

After returning to the apartment from Calderon Stadium, Yang Hao studied Atletico Madrid behind closed doors.

Coaching a team is far from being as simple as writing a novel. He still needs to do a lot of preparation work.

Before noon, Xiao Hill called him.

"It's done!"

After Yang Hao left, Atletico Madrid's three giants held a meeting behind closed doors and finalized the matter.

"Yang, I leave all the next team matters to you." Hill said sincerely on the phone.

In this huge gamble, both father and son made heavy bets.

To fire Antic, Atletico Madrid will need to pay a large amount of compensation.

But this is not the point.

The key is that Yang Hao has no coaching experience at all before. Everything he says is based on his words. Whether he can control the team is a very disturbing question.

More importantly, Atletico Madrid is currently in a state of turmoil. Once the news gets out, is it surely not a joke to fire the famous coach Antic and choose a 25-year-old rookie with no coaching experience as the head coach?

By that time, the father and son will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone in Spain, no, the whole world.

Xiao Hill would say such words on the phone, proving that he was not completely worried about Yang Hao.

"Michelle, don't worry, I promise, you will be proud of the decision you make today, believe me!"

Hill on the other side of the phone agreed and mentioned that he had already asked someone to find a suitable assistant. He also called Fernando Zambrano, the head coach of Atletico Madrid's second team.

The 50-year-old Spanish head coach once coached Rayo Vallecano, but his experience at Atletico Madrid was somewhat similar to Antichi.

In March 99, he put out a fire in Atletico Madrid's second team, and his contract only lasted until the end of last season.

As a result, this season's head coach Carlos Aguiar's coaching performance was very poor and he was dismissed in November 99, so Atletico Madrid invited Zambrano back.

According to Hill's communication with him, Zambrano has little interest in serving as an assistant coach for the first team.

He was even opposed to a rookie like Yang Hao taking over the team, thinking it was a crazy decision.

Yang Hao was not surprised by this.

In his memory, Antic has not finished coaching this season. After get out of class, Zambrano will be his successor.

In other words, Yang Hao took away the coaching opportunity that should have belonged to Zambrano.

The Spanish coach certainly wouldn't be happy.

Of course, saving Atletico Madrid is also the pinnacle of Zambrano's coaching career.

"It's okay, let's look for it again." Yang Hao smiled.

Yang Hao gave Xiao Hill a very calm feeling from the beginning to the end, which made the Atletico Prince somewhat at ease.

After the two parties made an appointment, Yang Hao returned to the Calderon Stadium in the afternoon to sign the contract.

Atletico Madrid will also officially announce the appointment.

……

After hanging up the phone, Yang Hao was not as excited as he imagined.

On the contrary, he was quite calm.

The real test has just begun now, and the burden on his shoulders is heavy.

As a time traveler, for him, the current European football world is full of talents. For example, Ruud van Nistelrooy is still recovering from his injury in Eindhoven, and Ronaldinho is still waiting at Gremio. with air tickets to Europe.

There is also Eto'o, who was loaned to Real Mallorca by Real Madrid.

It is also interesting to say that before Yang Hao traveled through time, he happened to see Eto'o serve as the chairman of the Cameroon Football Association after his retirement and was suspected of manipulating the game, which caused an uproar among fans around the world.

Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Eto'o would be just a young boy who had just emerged.

In the next 20 years, European football will usher in its most prosperous era with the most talents, and it will also usher in the era of superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Yang Hao is very looking forward to it and he is ambitious. He wants to write his own glorious chapter in this best era, so that he can live up to his time travel.

Coaching Atletico Madrid is his opening chapter, and he must write it well no matter what.

……

time is money.

Just after the lunch break, Yang Hao returned to the Calderon Stadium.

Unlike last time, his identity has changed now.

He is the new head coach of Atletico Madrid.

Xiao Hill personally came to the front desk to pick him up and welcomed him into the morning meeting room.

Unlike in the morning where there were only three people, the Hill father and his son and Cerezo, there were several more conference rooms in the afternoon.

Sitting next to Hill Sr. and Hill Jr. is club legend Paul Futre, a 34-year-old Portuguese and Atletico Madrid's first superstar player who retired in Japan in January 99.

Not long ago, he was involved in the transfer rumors between Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Perez and Figo. Some people said that he helped agent Jose Vega meet with Florentino. .

The club legend has been in Madrid recently and has been quite active.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Paul Futre took over as Atletico Madrid's sports director in November this year.

Now it seems that it is ahead of time.

The relationship between Paul Futrey and the Hill father and son was obviously closer. When he saw Yang Hao, he smiled and nodded to express friendship.

Sitting next to Cerezo is club board member Clement Balavid. He has played for Atletico Madrid for many years, but was kicked out of the team in 87 when Hill took over.

After the club was privatized in 92, he entered the club management as a board member and has served until now.After the old Hill beating incident in 96, he basically became the representative of the club. Whether it was the Spanish Football Association or UEFA's various meetings and draw ceremonies, Balavid was basically present.

In addition to the club's management, two players were also present, namely the team's captain Tony Munoz and vice-captain Juan Carlos Aguilera.

As the left back, Tony Munoz has lost his position this season and been replaced by the younger Capdevila. At the age of 32, he has also ushered in the twilight of his career.

Also a veteran, the 31-year-old Aguilera is getting stronger with age and has served more as the team's right midfielder this season.

This also reflects Atletico Madrid's current lack of talent on the right.

As soon as Yang Hao arrived, the meeting started.

Hill first announced the appointment of Yang Hao, saying that the club had reached an agreement with Antić that the latter would no longer serve as Atletico Madrid's head coach and that Yang Hao would lead the team in all remaining games this season.

"The team has now reached a very critical and extraordinary period. We need to make some extraordinary decisions and use extraordinary people!"

Hill used this to explain the reasons for the high-level appointment.

But obviously, this is not convincing at all.

Not only the captain and deputy captain frowned, but even Balavid shook his head.

This appointment was unexpected and surprising to them.

It's not unusual for Antic to be dismissed from get out of class.

The whole of Madrid knows that Old Hill, like the vast majority of Atletico Madrid fans, dislikes Antic very much.

Although, Antic once brought a double championship to the team.

But after firing Antic, he hired a 25-year-old Chinese with no coaching experience. Isn't this a joke?
Is running a team really like playing house?
However, the entire club belongs to the Hill family and Cerezo. As long as they do not object, it is useless what others say.

Of course, after the news gets out, Atletico Madrid fans will definitely protest.

And there will be serious protests.

It is precisely because of this level of concern that Atletico Madrid's management hopes that this coaching change will be handled in a low-key manner.

Yang Hao sat in his seat and watched the reactions of everyone present. These were all within his expectations.

It is normal to object, but it is strange not to object.

In addition to appointing Yang Hao as head coach, Paul Futrey will also serve as the team's sports director.

This is also in response to what Yang Hao said before. Atletico Madrid has no structure in team formation in the past few years. There is no mature thinking at all. They just go by their feelings. This will definitely not work.

So, they chose to appoint an athletic director.

As a former superstar player, Paul Futre is still very well-connected in European football.

For example, the Portuguese agent Jose Vega, who he befriended, is a well-known predator. Almost everyone in Portugal who goes to play abroad has to go through the hands of Jose Vega.

Even Jorge Mendes, who will dominate European football in the next few years, is still working as a pawn under Jose Vega, which shows how famous Jose Vega is now.

Currently, Hugo Leal in Atletico Madrid is Jose Vega’s player.

In the next few years, the Portuguese Super League will be a treasure trove of talents.

Paul Futrey took office in a hurry. From the time he received Hill's call to now, it only took him a few hours to make a decision. It would definitely not work if he was asked to come up with a complete set of ideas.

Therefore, Futrey just said a few words to Che Zulu and then left the difficult problem to Yang Hao.

This can also be regarded as a preliminary test for Yang Hao.

He must fully explain his next coaching plan in front of everyone at today's meeting.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is how to avoid relegation.

……

"I've done the math. If we want to avoid relegation in La Liga this season, we need to score at least 44-46 points."

Yang Hao first briefly introduced some of Atletico Madrid's current situation and La Liga's relegation situation.

"But we only have 32 points now. This means that we must get 6 points in the remaining 12 rounds of the league to have a chance to successfully avoid relegation."

Everyone present actually knows that Atletico Madrid's hope of relegation this season is very, very slim.

Now, Yang Hao's words undoubtedly further confirm this point.

After 6 league rounds, a complete victory only requires 18 points. To get 12 points, you need to win at least 4 games.

Is it difficult?
Difficult, and very difficult.

Even for a wealthy team, it is very difficult to win 6 games in 4 games.

Note, this is La Liga in 2000.

The strength of all teams has not widened the gap.

In the next few years, with the surging wave of globalization, Real Madrid and Barcelona took advantage of this trend to increase their income at an extremely fast rate, and then recruited more and more stars. Their overall strength increased by leaps and bounds, and they were completely different from other teams. widen the gap in strength.

But now, the Western Super League era has not yet come.

With the current strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it will not be easy to win 6 wins in 4 games in La Liga.

What's more, Atletico Madrid has been winless for ten rounds.

The last victory of the Sheets Army was in January, which is already 1 months ago.

If they had this strength, would Atletico Madrid still be in the relegation zone?

Therefore, as soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.
