Chapter 380 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"What? Toni Kroos is injured?"

In the head coach's office at Atletico Madrid's Majadaenda training base in the northwest suburbs of Madrid, Spain, Diego Simeone also stood up in surprise.

The former Argentine superstar, who usually looks ferocious and ferocious, looked even more hideous and terrifying at this moment. He didn't look like the head coach of a team at all, but more like a gangster boss.

"Is this true?" Diego Simeone was a little unconvinced.

The answer "Absolutely true" came from Simeone's number one assistant, former Argentina national team goalkeeper Borges.

"The English media had reported this news before, but many people thought it was a smokescreen at the time, so I didn't take it too seriously. But last night, Southampton held a pre-match press conference and announced the 18-man squad, and Toni Kroos was not on the squad at all."

The FA Cup final is this afternoon. According to the rules, if you are not included in the 18-man roster, you will not be eligible to play.

In other words, Toni Kroos is really injured

What the outside media said was absolutely correct. He has bid farewell to this season in advance.

"I specifically checked with Spanish reporters about the situation. In the pre-match press conference, Bielsa strongly denied that Toni Kroos was seriously injured and would end the season early. He was only forced to admit that his injury had recurred under the siege of reporters."

"I also checked Southampton's official website, mobile app and WeChat, and they all confirmed that Toni Kroos would miss the FA Cup final due to injury.

Diego Simeone couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard this, "Absent? Good"

With Toni Kroos, Southampton has control of the ball, the midfield is organised and everything is in good order.

If he is not there, the Saints' midfield will be a tough combination of Vidal, Strootman and Matic.

Although Stroman and Matic both have good organizational skills, they cannot control the ball like Toni Kroos.

Under Simeone's leadership, Atletico Madrid is best at high-intensity pressing and oppression.

This set of ideas was derived from Bielsa's football philosophy, but Simeone organized it more tightly and unbreakably based on his own career and experience in the Serie A league, and his understanding of the defensive system.

Diego Simeone is not afraid of tough teams, head-on confrontation is his strong point.

Just like in La Liga, Atletico Madrid specializes in defeating Real Madrid, but is defeated by Barcelona.

That's the reason

Therefore, Toni Kroos's absence due to injury is a good thing for him.

Great Good News

"I didn't expect that even God is helping us." Diego Simeone couldn't help but laugh.

"Who says it's not?" Boggs was also in a good mood.

It would be amazing if Simeone could win the Europa League in his first season as coach of Atletico Madrid, oh no, not even a season yet. He came to the rescue in December 2011.

Simeone will surely become a big hit in the entire European football world.

If he becomes popular, the entire coaching staff will also become popular

"Instruct them to strategically give up the weekend league and focus on preparing for the Europa League final next week."

Simeone's eyes were full of greedy desire, as if they were breathing fire.

He seemed to see the Europa League trophy in front of him, waving at him.

Just one more step forward and you'll have it within your reach.

At this moment, a quarrel was heard outside the training ground, which made Diego Simeone, who was strict in disciplining his troops, frown.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, it looks like someone broke into the training ground." Boggs looked out the window but couldn't see clearly.

Simeone was immediately furious.

Although he has only been at Atletico Madrid for half a year, he has already left his mark everywhere on the team, inside and out.

From the team's management to the ordinary staff, almost no one dared to challenge his authority.

Not to mention the players who are directly under the jurisdiction.

This is a critical moment in preparation for the battle. Who dares to rashly enter the training ground?

Atletico Madrid's training base is not big or luxurious, and the training building only has one floor.

After leaving the head coach's office, the training ground is opposite.

When Diego Simeone rushed out of the office with Boggs, they saw two people suddenly appear in the training ground.

One is fat, the other is thin, both look like Orientals.

When they came out, the thin guy was standing in the training ground, waving at the players and shouting in broken English.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

That look, that tone, even Mr. Hill, the big boss behind the club, was not so arrogant.

The players on the training ground were obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of these two people.

Could it be that some psychotic fans stormed the training ground?

Otherwise, how could these two people suddenly appear?

"I told you all to come here." The thin man got even angrier when he saw that no one dared to move.

The fat man at the side also joined in, "Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Didn't you hear what Young Master Qin said, asking you to come over here, he wants to lecture you, did you hear that, come over here!"

The players and coaches on the training ground looked at each other, obviously not recognizing these two guys.

"Who are you?" one of the coaches came out and asked.

"Who are you?" Qian Duoduo asked.

There was a sudden burst of laughter on the training ground.

"Where did these two guys come from? They don't even recognize assistant coach Mr. Ortega."

"That's right, you're not here to perform a comedy, are you?"

"It's possible. Maybe the head coach arranged this to amuse us."

"The competition is coming soon, please arrange some entertainment programs to relax us."

Hearing the laughter from everyone on the training ground, Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo's expressions became interesting.

Didn’t they say that after Yang Huan acquired Southampton, he established his prestige on the first day he arrived at the training base?

They had originally planned to do so, but who would have thought that these guys wouldn't buy it?

Not only do they not buy into it, but they also treat them as clowns?

Too much

It's really unbearable for uncles

Just when Qin Yongming was about to lose his temper, Simeone and Boggs arrived outside the training ground.

Simeone is also a tough guy who can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. He was already furious when he saw someone acting so unruly in his training ground.

Looking at these two guys, they don't look like good people, and I got even angrier.

"Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble at my training ground?"

Maybe it was because Simeone had a face full of flesh and looked very ferocious, or maybe it was because of the aura he exuded.

You know, as long as he is a professional player, even if he looks very skinny on TV, when he really stands in front of you, you will be amazed at his muscles and the aura he exudes.

Simeone hasn't played football for a few years, but he has maintained a good figure and body shape. He is also a tough coach. Not only has his momentum not diminished, but it is even stronger than when he first played football, which made Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo feel a chill for no reason.

Just as he was about to answer, Simeone shouted loudly.

"Get out of here right now"

Damn it, what’s up with Mahadaenda’s security?

Don’t want to anymore?

Even this kind of neurosis is included

But after he shouted this, Qin Yongming also got angry.

Damn it, you work for me and you dare to drink from me?

Didn’t they say that Yang Huan fired an ignorant head coach on his first day at the team?

It seems that you, the bastard, are forcing me to be like Yang Huan. If I don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, you still don't know me, Mr. Qin.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am? My name is Qin Yongming, and I am now the owner of Atletico Madrid."

When he shouted, everyone present was stunned.

It turns out to be the legendary new boss

So young?

But Qin Yongming could scare the players and staff, but not Simeone.

Without saying anything else, based on his half season at Atletico Madrid, there is no shortage of teams interested in him.

And Simeone also has a tough character.

Boss? What's wrong with the boss?

If you make me unhappy, I will fire you first

"Boss?" Simeone looked at the two guys with a bad tone.

Qin Yongming thought that this guy was guilty, so he raised his head and snorted.

"Even if you are the boss, you have no right to enter this training ground unless you get my consent in advance."

Simeone became more and more ruthless as he spoke, and in the end he was about to go crazy.

"Now, I'll count to three. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude."

Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo didn't expect that workers these days are still so strong-willed.

But Simone didn't care what they thought and started counting down.

"Hey, you..." Qian Duoduo was depressed.

Is that too much?

Simone counted to this point and slowly approached the two men step by step. His momentum was comparable to that of a gangster boss.

A clenched fist gives the impression that one punch can kill a cow.

Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo looked at each other guiltily, and an idea flashed through their minds.

A good man never suffers a loss. There is no need to fight with such a barbarian here.

"……three"

When Simeone called out three, Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo had already walked out of the training ground.

Behind him, the players on the training ground burst into laughter.

Is this really the new owner of the team?

If that's true, isn't it too cowardly?

"What are you laughing at? Keep training!"

Simeone shouted so hard that everyone was shocked and ran to train

Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo walked out of the training area. They heard the noise from afar and were furious.

When Yang Huan made his first appearance, he directly fired the head coach as a warning to others.

But why did he meet such a gangster boss when he made his first appearance?

"Fuck you, just wait for me, I'm going to kill you or I'll take your last name."

Qin Yongming pointed at the training ground from a distance and cursed.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, I support you. Let's go back to the city and call a meeting of management to get rid of this bastard."

Qian Duoduo was also very angry.

As the young master of the Qian Group, he was always treated like a idol by everyone he met, except in front of a very few people like Yang Huan and Qin Yongming. But when he came to Madrid, he actually met such a character.

This is outrageous.

If he doesn't get back at this, how will he continue to make a living even though he has so much money?

Can you still expect to control this team in the future?

Maybe he heard the two people's voices, but Diego Simeone suddenly turned around in the training ground. He saw Qian Duoduo pointing at him and cursing. He immediately became angry and prepared to rush out and beat them up.

Qian Duoduo and Qin Yongming were so scared that they ran away quickly.

Diego Simeone sneered and said, "Coward"

Boggs on the side smiled bitterly, "It seems that they really may be the new owners of the team."

After all this trouble, I offended the new boss and things will be difficult to handle.

Simeone, on the other hand, smiled proudly, "What are you afraid of? Even if they are the new boss, so what? At worst, I'll just quit."

Boggs thought about it and felt that it was true, as Simeone would not lack a new club anyway.

Besides, Atletico Madrid is doing very well now, and the management and fans support it.

If the new boss dares to take the risk and fire Simeone at this time, they probably won't be able to gain a foothold in Atletico Madrid.

After all, in football, whoever can bring victory to the fans is the king.

After understanding this, Boggs was no longer troubled.

Clapping his hands vigorously, "Targeted training, plan B, start"

The so-called Plan B is a targeted tactic against Southampton without Toni Kroos.

Fortunately, Yang Huan was not there, otherwise he would have been so happy that he would have died.

A sudden inspiration to use a smoke bomb, actually kills two birds with one stone?

However, at the same time, Yang Huan, who was far away in Southampton, England, was also grinning from ear to ear.
