This stadium is not the first stadium used by Atletico Madrid, but it is the stadium that hosted Atletico Madrid's most glorious period. In this stadium, Atletico Madrid won four league championships, six Copa del Rey championships, and one Copa del Rey championship. Champions League runner-up, one Intercontinental Cup champion (participating as runner-up), one European Cup Winners' Cup runner-up
Originally the stadium was named Manzanares Stadium because it was located on the banks of the Manzanares River in the southwest of Madrid. In 1971, it was named in memory of Mr. Vicente Calderon, the greatest president in the history of Atletico Madrid. And renaming the Calderon Stadium - This is a very common thing in Spain. Name the stadium after a person. Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium was named in memory of Santiago Bernabeu.
Atletico Madrid fans are extremely proud of this stadium, but Atletico Madrid's results this season have made them quite anxious. If they had not thought about the possibility of Atletico Madrid being relegated before, then the current situation of Atletico Madrid has already Let them know one thing clearly - that is, if a miracle does not happen, Atletico Madrid may be relegated to the Second Division for the second time in history!
At this time, Hill appointed Dick, the head coach of the second team, as the interim coach. To be honest, this appointment was quite satisfactory. Even though Dick was only 21 years old and even if he was Chinese, under the current circumstances, Only he, the head coach of the second team, could put out the fire, not to mention Dick did a really good job in the second team.
Most Atletico Madrid fans looked at Dick¡¯s taking over with a ¡°just let it be¡± mentality, but what did this guy do after he took office? Immediately won the prince in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans! Damn it, when Kiko helped us win the double championship, you bastard was still nursing!
After the media revealed the news that Kiko had been removed from the main lineup by Dick, Atletico Madrid fans immediately became strongly dissatisfied, although some fans felt that Kiko's condition had declined significantly in the past two years. But after all, Kiko is one of the favorite players of Atletico Madrid fans. Dick has no reputation and no foundation when he comes up. If he takes advantage of such a tough guy, it will naturally cause a strong backlash.
Dick was not unaware of the consequences of doing so, but he knew that these six games were Atletico Madrid's last chance and he was not allowed to adjust slowly, even though Atletico Madrid was already a For a seriously ill patient, taking strong medicine may make him more seriously ill. However, now Atletico is not only a seriously ill patient, but also a seriously ill patient who has only a short time to live. Even if it is morphine, he must use it even if he has no choice but to use it.
If Kiko's poor condition was only due to team tactics and other reasons, Dick might still have the patience to stimulate his condition, but he clearly knows that Kiko will go to the Spanish second division city next season in history. He didn't score a single goal, and then retired sadly two years later. It was obvious that he was no longer useful, and he was still wasting time on him-not to mention that Dick didn't have time to waste now, even if he had time, he couldn't waste it like this. ah!
When taking the bus to the Calderon Stadium with the team, Dick saw many Atletico Madrid fans surrounding the entrance of the stadium. They held up banners "We want Kiko, not Chinese" to Dick. demonstration.
Many Atletico Madrid players also saw such a banner, and they couldn't help but glance at Dick. Dick's expression was calm, as if he hadn't seen it, while Kiko put his hand on his chin and looked out the window, as calm as water. .
In such a silent environment, the players got off the bus and walked to the locker room.
Dick was the last one to come in - looking at the crowd of professional players in front of him, Dick felt a little complacent in his heart - after being reborn for more than half a year, he was able to face a group of top players and command, no wonder Dick was so ambitious. A feeling of satisfaction.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Dick knew clearly that everything in front of him was just a mirror - all his power came from Hill's temporary grant. If he could not lead the team to complete the task of relegation, I am afraid that he He can't even go back to the second team. For any coach of the second team, entering the first team is an opportunity and a gamble. If he loses, he has no hope of even going back to be the head coach of the second team. He can only change places and start from scratch. .
This is something Dick can't stand. In order to achieve the goal of leading Atletico Madrid to avoid relegation, he will do anything. No matter who is blocking the way, he will kick the opponent away!
After regaining his composure, Dick began to lecture.
He didn¡¯t talk loudly to motivate the players - this was whimsical, because Dick had only half threatened and half lured the team to quiet down before. It¡¯s a joke to say that the players were more convinced by him.
No matter how impassioned you say, the players still need to respond. IfEvery member of the staff is lazy, which actually damages morale.
"You should be clear about the training these days. How to play on the field, just follow the tactics arranged on the training field. Now you also understand the situation at Atletico Madrid, I won't talk nonsense, go and win Only in this game can we win the future If everyone tries their best, the responsibility is mine. If everyone doesn't try their best"
Dick didn¡¯t finish his words, but the threat was very strong.
The players were silent, and Dick also knew that most of the players were unconvinced, but they were able to suppress it for the time being.
"Set off!"
After a simple sentence, the Atletico Madrid players walked out of the locker room under the leadership of captain Aguilera. Originally, Atletico Madrid's captain was Kiko, but now he is on the bench, and the captain is naturally the second captain Aji. Leila is in charge. Aguilera was born in the Atletico Madrid youth training camp, but he transferred midway and left for three years. The rest of the time he has been playing for Atletico Madrid. Strictly speaking, he is more established than Kiko, who was transferred midway. Hong, he is the captain, so no one is dissatisfied.
After the players all walked out of the locker room, Dick smoked a cigarette, then stamped out the cigarette butt vigorously, then patted the ashes on himself and strode out of the locker room.
Walking through the long passage of the Calderon Stadium, when the light appeared in front of him, Dick also heard the tide of cheers coming from the stands.
The Calderon Stadium can accommodate 54,000 people. Although Atletico Madrid is now deep in the relegation zone, Atletico Madrid fans have not given up. The entire stadium is still full. Countless Atletico Madrid fans are shouting and expressing their feelings in the stands. We would like to express our support to the club at this critical time.
This scene is of course very heartwarming. Historically, after Atletico Madrid was relegated, thousands of Atletico Madrid fans lit lighters and walked sadly around the Calderon Stadium for several times. This is the foundation of a strong team. They can win at any time. Support is essential.
However, when Dick appeared outside the players' tunnel, the entire Calderon Stadium was quiet for a while, and then several stands began to boo at the same time. These stands all had the slogan "We want Kiko, not Chinese." The banner stands and most of the other stands chose to remain silent and watch indifferently. Obviously Dick's move was not popular.
Dick was already mentally prepared, but he didn¡¯t expect that the fans would start booing him before the game even started
"Atletico Madrid's new head coach doesn't seem to be popular" the commentator on Spanish National TV couldn't help but say: "But it's no wonder that there is no Kiko in Atletico Madrid today. Kiko appears in On the bench, it seems that what was said before about taking Kiko out of the lineup as soon as Dick took over was not groundless. Even if he had a reason to do so, it would be too reckless to do so directly. "
Amid the boos, Dick's expression changed slightly, and then he strode towards the home team's coaching bench.
Before sitting down, Dick suddenly laughed, then turned to the stand with the loudest boos and made a "V" gesture
"This bastard!" Many fans who often watch Atletico Madrid's second team cursed loudly - do you think they are still playing in the second division? If you can still win this time, then I won't scold you!
Some people understood the meaning of Dick's gesture, and naturally there were fans who had not watched much of the second team's game and did not know what Dick meant. Seeing this, they began to curiously ask their friends around them. Soon, all the horses Sports fans know that when Dick makes this gesture, it means that he is already confident of winning the game!
"Stop joking, you can win if you just say you win? Then Atletico Madrid won't be like this this season!" Many Atletico Madrid fans are thinking this way. At the same time, they also think of Dick's seemingly good performance in the second division. Do what you say
If you can win, it means that this guy does have some ability. Then let us see if you have this ability. Is there a reason to win Kiko or is it nonsense? If it is the former, we will support you. If it is the latter, we will support you. Don't blame us for booing you from beginning to end!
In fact, this is what most Atletico Madrid fans think. After all, they are fans of Atletico Madrid, not fans of a certain player. Kiko's performance in recent years has indeed not been as good as in previous seasons. Now they are already against Atletico Madrid. With the future of this season in despair, Dick's move to capture Kiko after taking office was not liked by them, but it was also a sign of change
They are now treating a dead horse as a living doctor. They hope that Dick can create a miracle. Even if it is just a glimmer of hope, they must pin their hopes on Dick.
???????????????????????????????????????Those who are crazy fans of Kiko. Basically, Kiko¡¯s poor performance before, they will think that it is the coach¡¯s tactics rather than Kiko¡¯s ability. Kiko¡¯s teammates failed to score because of their poor footwork. If his teammates passed the ball and Kiko didn't score, it was because his teammates didn't pass the ball well. In short, Kiko was good, but others were the bad ones - now Dick touched the saint in their minds as soon as he came, so that's okay!
Those who went to protest near the Atletico Madrid club were basically the "Kiko Guards". For Dick, these fans are not what he wants to win over - idiot fans are the most unreasonable creatures in the world!
M¨¢laga head coach Juan Pedro watched with cold eyes as Atletico Madrid fans were at loggerheads with their interim head coach - which was certainly good news for M¨¢laga, even though M¨¢laga now Above all, there is nothing to desire. For Pedro, he led the team to promotion last season, and this season he led Malaga to stay firmly in the ranks of relegation teams. Now if he can win again against the down-and-out Atletico Madrid , then you will be able to stabilize your position and make your reputation even greater!
He also sent out all his main players in this game. Even if there is no actual benefit in this game, he will try his best to win and establish his position!
