Chapter 441: Three Letters of Resignation

80_80813 "Diego, have you heard?" ”

In a villa on the outskirts of Madrid, Atletico Madrid's assistant coach Ortega asked Diego Simeone with concern.

The Argentine coach, who made a name for himself last season, was watching the news on TV intently.

A news item was playing on the news that the Spanish prime minister had met with a wealthy businessman from China surnamed Yang.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister promised to open the door for Chinese companies to invest in Spain.

The meeting was also attended by a number of officials from key government departments, as well as the mayor of Madrid and a number of parliamentarians.

Seeing this, Diego Simeone pursed his lips, full of impatience.

Since meeting the two new owners of Atletico Madrid, he has been very unhappy with Chinese investors.

It is said that the Chinese are rich, but how can he look at the two wretched people who don't know anything about football, and they are poor ghosts at all?

Is this visiting Chinese super-rich man really worthy of his name?

Who knows?

Ortega was a little depressed when he saw that Simeone didn't speak, "I said, Diego, did you listen to what I said?" ”

Diego Simeone then turned his head, "Oh, what did you say?" ”

"Please," Ortega was a little depressed, "don't you care at all?" ”

"What do I care about?" Diego Simeone was surprised.

Why is the speech so beginningless and endless?

Would you like to have a good chat together?

"OK" Ortega could only hold back the depression in his heart, and then patted Boggs, who was sitting on the side playing WeChat, and asked the latter to pay attention to it, looking very serious.

"I've heard that those two fool bosses sold Falcao"

Diego Simone frowned, a little stunned.

Boggs snorted directly, "How is this possible?" ”

"Who says it's impossible?" Ortega was unconvinced, "It's not that you don't know, the team's financial situation in the past few years has been so bad, besides, whether Falcao sells it or not, the team can't call the shots"

At this point, Boggs had nothing to say.

Several of them know very well that Atletico Madrid is glamorous on the surface, but in fact it is rotten in the bones.

Many people who don't know the situation say that the Sheets are faintly going to be the third pole of La Liga to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As everyone knows, this is a joke in the eyes of those who know the inside story.

If you don't get better financially, you'll never have to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona

"Didn't I hear before that those two fool bosses were cheated by the board of directors and had to take out the money to pay off their debts?" Diego o Simeone is a little strange.

This debt is paid off, why sell Falco?

Besides, after selling the center forward, who will Atletico Madrid rely on to score goals in the new season?

You know, Atletico Madrid only has 45% ownership of Falcao, even if it is really sold, how much money can it be exchanged for?

Can this money bring in a striker who can fight like Falcao?

Moreover, how much of this money can be used to pay off debts is also a suspense

Ortega shook his head and smiled, "I've heard that those two fools got into a big fight with them at Calderón Stadium after knowing that they had been cheated, and then left, and I don't know where they went. ”

Diego Simeone and Boggs looked at each other, both helpless.

Put yourself in your shoes, whoever you change, knowing that you have been cheated so badly, will be angry

"I've heard them say that the team is likely to be sold again"

"Sell again?" Boggs couldn't help it.

How long has it been since it was going to be sold?

When will this come to an end?

"A lot of people are worried right now, and I've heard that before they sell the team, they will probably sell off a group of stars in the team and try to get back their investment," Ortega said pessimistically.

"Selling Falcao is just the beginning, I heard that Thiago is also leaving"

When the three people present heard this, they were all stunned.

It's definitely possible

The reason is very simple, that is, it is a loss anyway

Although they are the head coaches of this kind of capital level operation, they can't say anything.

The simple reason is that they don't have that weight

"If that's the case, then we should start thinking about it, we can't stay in this place of Madrid any longer," Boggs said aggressively, looking at Diego Simeone

With Simeone's current reputation in European football, it is not realistic to coach a big club, but it should be no problem to coach a mid-table team in the big four leagues.

If it is really as Ortega said, then Atletico Madrid will definitely fall and continue to stay, which will not only trap investors from China, but also Simeone and the two of them.

Diego Simeone looked at Boggs and then at Ortega, and found that his two right-hand men were looking at him expectantly, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Wait a little longer"

"What are you waiting for?" Ortega also spoke.

"Here, there is no money to ask for money, and now even people are going to be sold out, and there is a damn Caminero on his head, what is that guy capable of? Isn't it just that you are a Spaniard, relying on yourself to play in Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid? Isn't it just that you have a good relationship with the board of directors? ”

"Haven't you endured enough of being a boss everywhere, finding fault with us all day long, and dictating to us?"

The Caminero that Ortega is talking about is the director of football at Atletico Madrid, José Luis Pérez and Caminero, a former Atletico Madrid player who retired as Valladolid's director of football and later entered Atletico Madrid.

The entire Sheets Army knew that this guy was not right with Diego Simone.

There are even rumors that this was specifically installed by the board of directors to limit and share the power of Diego o Simeone.

Who gave the Argentines the nickname "Madman"?

Boggs looked at the indignant Ortega, then at Diego Simeone, sighed deeply, and patted Ortega on the shoulder, "Diego is right, wait, see the situation clearly"

In the final analysis, Atletico Madrid is their first stop in Europe, and all three have put a lot of effort and energy into this team, and it is really reluctant to let it go like this.

After all, when they landed in La Liga, they were ambitious and wanted to give it a go.

Diego Simeone patted Boggs on the shoulder gratefully and nodded incessantly.

This is a good buddy to be trusted

At this moment, Diego Simeone's mobile phone on the coffee table in the living room suddenly rang.

When I took it up, it turned out to be the phone number of the Calderón Stadium office.

"What's the matter?" Boggs had a sense of foreboding.

Even Ortega couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face nervous.

Diego Simeone took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hey, I'm Diego"

"Hello, Diego, I'm Gimenez."

It turned out to be Gimenesga, the secretary of the board of directors

"Hello, Gimenez"

"That's right, Diego, there's a big change in the team, and the new owner has summoned all the top management to Calderón for a meeting, specifically asking you and the two assistant coaches to attend."

Diego Simeone was taken aback, in addition to himself, even two assistant coaches were going to participate?

New boss?

Could it be those two fool bosses?

It seems that they have a grudge and want to take the opportunity to take revenge and fire the three of them

Thinking of this, Diego Simeone couldn't help but feel a resentment in his heart, and his tone of voice became much tougher.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it has something to do with personnel changes, I'm sorry, that's all I know, I have to inform the others, please be on time"

With that, Gimenesga hung up the phone.

Diego Simeone put down the phone next to his ear in a daze, his mind full of Gimenez's words.

Personnel changes?

By the way, it must be to fire a group of people and appoint a group of people.

They must have held a grudge against him when they drove him out of the training ground, and now they are taking revenge

Suddenly, Diego Simeone was a little distracted.

I think he worked hard for Atletico Madrid and worked hard to bring this team to the Europa League final, although he did not win the championship in the end, but this result is obvious to all.

Is it really going to be those two fool bosses?

When he relayed these words to his two assistants, both of them were furious.

"Fuck it, was it wrong for us to do this in the first place?"

"That is, who in European football allows the owner to wantonly disrupt the team's training?"

"Fire us squid? Okay, we don't need them to fire, we write our own resignation letters"

"yes, there's no one left here, don't we have any other team to go to? We voluntarily resigned"

Diego Simeone thought about it and felt that this was the case.

Rather than being fired, it is better to resign voluntarily

In this way, you can also save a little face for yourself

Saying that, the three of them immediately went to Simone's house, picked up a pen and paper, and directly wrote a letter of resignation.

After writing it, the three of them read it again and thought it was appropriate.

"Let's go to Calderón"

With that, the three of them went out, got in the car, and went straight to Calderón Stadium.

As soon as I entered Calderón Stadium, I met Gimenez in the parking lot, who was rushing out of the door

"Hey, why are you here? Didn't you say that the meeting would only start in the afternoon? ”

"We've got something, boss?"

"Took the management to Pennetta Stadium"

"Where are you going?"

"Take the club's core management team to inspect it," Gimenezga laughed.

"I'm going to go over now, or you guys too."

Diego and Simeone glanced at each other, and they all nodded in unison.

The four of them got into the car and walked directly east from the M0 ring road next to the Calderón Stadium.

Strictly speaking, the Calderón Stadium in Atletico Madrid is located right in the center of the city, and the first ring road, M0, passes right next to the Calderón Stadium, for which the Calderón Stadium has been specially renovated.

When Real Madrid's Bernabeu was built, it was located in a very remote northern suburb, but in recent years, the area around the Bernabeu Stadium has developed and gradually become the financial center of Madrid.

But when it comes to the most crowded and prosperous core district, Calderón Stadium is the closest.

But in recent years, the city of Madrid has been renovating and planning the city, and at the same time determined to rebuild a modern stadium in order to bid for the Olympic Games.

As a result, Atletico Madrid's Calderón stadium was included in the plan, which was intended to be transformed into a large park, and then a Pennetta stadium located on the northeastern outskirts of the city, next to the M0, that is, on the edge of the second ring road, near the capital airport, was assigned to Atletico Madrid.

As compensation, the government will demolish and rebuild the stadium to build a main Olympic stadium in preparation for the Olympic bid.

But no one thought that Madrid's bid for the Olympics would have been two consecutive defeats

The Pennetta Stadium, originally scheduled for completion in 2013, has not been heard from since.

The new boss went to Pennetta to inspect at this time, what did he want?

Diego and Simeone were full of doubts.

But when I think about it, what else can I think of with those two fools?

I must be thinking about how to sell this plan and cash out

Thinking of this, their disappointment was even worse.

So when Gimenesga asked, all three of them were blunt and said they were going to resign.

This took Gimenezga by surprise and realized the severity of the problem.

What they didn't expect was that when they arrived at the Pennetta Stadium, they were stunned.
