Chapter 441 Three Resignation Letters

"Diego, did you hear that?"

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

The young Argentine coach, who became famous for saving Atletico Madrid last season, was watching the news on TV intently.

The news was broadcasting a news item that the Spanish Prime Minister met with a wealthy businessman from China named Yang.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister promised to make it easier for Chinese companies to invest in Spain.

Also participating in the meeting were the heads of several important government departments, the mayor of Madrid and several congressmen.

Seeing this scene, Diego Simeone curled his lips in impatience.

Ever since he met the two new owners of Atletico Madrid, he has been unimpressed by investors from China.

It is said that Chinese people are rich, but why does it seem to him that those two losers who know nothing about football are just poor?

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

Who knows?

Ortega was a little depressed when he saw Simeone didn't say anything. "I say, Diego, did you hear what I said?"

Diego Simeone then turned around and asked, "Oh, what did you say?"

"Please," Ortega said a little depressed, "Don't you care at all?"

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

Why are you talking so incoherently?

Do you still want to have a good chat together?

"Ok" Ortega could only suppress the depression in his heart, and patted Boggs who was sitting next to him playing WeChat, asking the latter to listen carefully, looking very serious.

"I heard that the two stupid bosses sold Falcao"

Diego Simeone frowned and was a little stunned.

Boggs just chuckled, "How is this possible?"

"Who said it's impossible?" Ortega was dissatisfied. "You know the team's financial situation has been so bad in the past few years. Besides, the team has no say on whether Falcao should be sold or not."

This left Boggs speechless.

They all knew very well that Atletico Madrid only looked good on the outside, but was actually rotten to the core.

Many people who don't know the truth say that the Colchoneros are poised to become the third force in La Liga to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Little did they know that this was a joke to those who knew the inside story.

As long as your financial situation does not improve, you will never be able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

“Didn’t I hear before that the two stupid bosses were cheated by the board of directors and had to pay out money to repay their debts?” Diego Simeone was a little surprised.

The debt has been paid off, why sell Falcao?

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

You know, Atletico Madrid only owns 45% of Falcao. Even if it is sold, how much money can it get in return?

Can this money bring in a striker as capable as Falcao?

Besides, how much of this money can be used to pay off debts is also a mystery.

Ortega shook his head and smiled, "I heard that after those two idiots realized they were being cheated, they had a big fight with them at the Calderón Stadium and then left. No one knows where they went."

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

If you put yourself in their shoes, anyone would be angry if they knew they were cheated so badly.

"I heard from them that the team is likely to be sold again"

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

How long has it been and it’s being sold again?

When will this selling and selling end?

"A lot of people are worried now. I heard that before selling the team, they are likely to sell a group of stars in the team to try to recover their investment," Ortega said pessimistically.

"Selling Falcao is just the beginning. I heard Thiago is leaving too."

The three people present were stunned when they heard this.

This could definitely happen.

The reason is very simple, that is, they parted ways, and it was a loss anyway.

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

The reason is simple, they don't have that much

"If that's the case, then we should start thinking carefully. We can't stay in Madrid any longer." Boggs looked at Diego Simeone and made a bold suggestion.

Given Simeone's current reputation in European football, it is not realistic for him to coach a top club, but coaching a mid-level team in one of the four major leagues should be no problem.

If what Ortega said is true, Atletico Madrid will surely fall. If they continue to stay, it will not only cheat the investors from China, but will also cheat Simeone and the two of them.

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

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

"Here, there is no money to be made, and now even the people are about to be sold out. There is also a damn Caminero above him. What is that guy capable of? Isn't he just relying on the fact that he is Spanish and that he played for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid? Isn't he just relying on his good relationship with the board of directors?"

"You're bullying us everywhere, finding fault with us all day long, bossing us around, haven't you had enough?"

The Caminero that Ortega mentioned is Atletico Madrid's football director José Luis Perez Caminero, a former Atletico Madrid player who became Valladolid's football director after retirement and later joined Atletico Madrid.

The entire Colchoneros knew that this guy was seriously at odds with Diego Simeone.

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

Who made the Argentines nicknamed "madmen"?

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

After all, Atletico Madrid is their first stop in Europe. The three of them have invested a lot of effort and energy in this team. It is really hard for them to let go.

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

Diego Simeone patted Boggs' shoulder gratefully and nodded continuously.

This is a trustworthy buddy.

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

When I took it and looked at it, it turned out to be the phone number of the Calderon Stadium office.

"What's the matter?" Boggs had a bad feeling.

Even Ortega couldn't help swallowing, looking nervous.

Diego Simeone took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hi, I'm Diego"

"Hello, Diego, my name is Jimenez."

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

"Hello, Jimenez"

"It's like this, Diego. There have been major personnel changes in the team. The new boss has summoned all the senior executives to a meeting at Calderón and specifically asked you and the two assistant coaches to attend."

Diego Simeone was shocked. Besides himself, even two assistant coaches would participate?

New boss?

Could it be those two stupid bosses?

It seems that they are holding a grudge and want to take the opportunity to retaliate and fire the three of them.

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

"Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard it has something to do with personnel changes. Sorry, that's all I know. I still have to notify other people. Please be on time."

After saying that, Jimenezga hung up the phone.

Diego Simeone put down the phone beside his ear in a daze, his mind full of Jimenez's words.

Personnel changes?

Yes, we must fire some people and hire some new ones.

I drove him out of the training ground, they must be holding a grudge against me, and now they are taking revenge.

Suddenly, Diego Simeone seemed a little bored.

He worked hard for Atletico Madrid and brought the team to the Europa League final. Although they did not win the championship in the end, this achievement is obvious to all.

Are we really going to be defeated by those two stupid bosses?

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

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

"That is, who in European football allows the boss to disrupt the team's training at will?"

"Fire us? Fine, we don't need them to fire us, we can just write our own resignation letter"

"Yes, there is no room for us here. Don't we have other teams to go to? We will resign voluntarily."

Diego Simeone thought about it and agreed.

Rather than being fired, it is better to resign voluntarily

This way, you can save some face for yourself.

As soon as they said that, the three of them immediately went to Simoni's house, picked up paper and pen, and started writing their resignation letters.

After they finished writing it quickly, the three of them took turns reading it and all felt it was appropriate.

"Let's go to Calderon"

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

As soon as I entered the Calderón Stadium, I ran into Jimenez who was rushing out in the parking lot.

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

"We have something to do, where's the boss?"

"I took the management to the Pennetta Stadium"

"Go there for what?"

"Take the club's core management team with you to inspect," Jimenezga said with a smile.

"I am going there now, how about you guys come with me?"

Diego, Simeone and the other two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The four of them got in the car and headed east directly from the M0 ring road next to the Calderon Stadium.

Strictly speaking, Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium is located right in the city center, and the first ring road M0 passes right next to the Calderon Stadium. For this purpose, the Calderon 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 busiest and most prosperous core district, the Calderon Stadium is the closest.

But in recent years, the Madrid City Government has been renovating and planning the city, and in order to bid for the Olympic Games, it is determined to rebuild a modern stadium.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium was included in the plan and was planned to be transformed into a large park. Then, the Pennetta Stadium located in the northeastern suburbs of the city, next to M0 or the Second Ring Road and near the Capital Airport, was allocated to Atletico Madrid.

As compensation, the government will demolish the stadium and rebuild it into a main Olympic stadium in preparation for the bid for the Olympic Games.

But no one expected that Madrid's bid to host the Olympics had already been defeated twice in a row.

The Pennetta Stadium, which was originally scheduled to be completed in 2013, has still not been completed.

What does the new boss want by going to Pennetta to inspect?

Diego, Simeone and the other two were full of doubts.

But then I thought, what else can those two idiots think of?

I must be thinking about how to sell this plan to cash in.

Thinking of this, their disappointment became even greater.

So when Jimenezca asked about it, all three of them spoke frankly and said they wanted to resign.

This surprised Jimenez and made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

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