Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Are you disappointed that the opponent in the final is Atletico Madrid? Well... no, both Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are opponents that cannot be underestimated. They have the motivation and ability to challenge the Europa League champion."

"So no matter which opponent we face, we must face it seriously."

"But if you want to ask, will we be afraid of Atletico Madrid in the final? Of course not, who has Wolves been afraid of so far?"

Looking at the face of the Chinese man who was talking freely on the computer screen, the middle-aged man with a beard in front of the computer reached out to play the next video.

"How to deal with Atletico Madrid?"

"We are still looking for ways, but I believe there will be results in the end."

"Is the work pressure high?"

"High." The man in the video showed a restrained smile, "But I like this job."

The next clip is a perspective shot from a high altitude, not a video of a media interview. In the picture, the whole stadium is moving with the movements of the man in the center of the stadium, and a shocking sound wave bursts out.

"... Atletico Madrid should be relieved, because their opponent in the final, Wolves, is really not very strong. It can be said that Atletico Madrid has cleared all obstacles in front of them for the championship."

"Some people even think that the final will become a massacre. The Atletico Madrid board also expressed their approval. They look forward to the upcoming championship and said..."

The middle-aged man touched his stubble, tutted, and played the next video expressionlessly.

"There is no very deep connection between Atletico Madrid and Wolves. It can be said that these are two completely unrelated teams. They have never played against each other in any arena before."

"... It is impossible to analyze the potential results of the game between Atletico Madrid and Wolves from a historical perspective."

"However, Wolves player Jota played for Atletico Madrid for a short time before transferring to Wolves, but..."

The middle-aged man's cold face finally showed a trace of expression. He frowned, sat up straight, and wanted to listen to what the reporter had to say, when someone knocked on the door of the room.

"Diego——"

"Giuliano is home, you should come and eat."

The middle-aged man quickly looked down at his watch and blinked, as if he had just come out of a very focused state, looking a little confused.

However, the woman's call woke him up, and he quickly responded, "Okay, I'll finish here soon, wait for me and I'll come!"

"It's not a big deal, what if the food gets cold when you come out?"

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man was helpless, he smiled and shook his head, he looked back at the computer screen, casually closed the interface of the video player, sat up from the chair, pushed open the door and walked out, "What delicious food did you make today?"

Before the interface was closed, the picture was frozen on a close-up of Jota, who was wearing a Wolves jersey and had a bright smile on his face during the pre-match training of a certain game.

Outside the room, there was a faint sound of children laughing and women shouting——

"Wash your hands!"

Diego Simeone laughed shyly, jumped up from his chair, and walked quickly towards the sink. The woman busy at the dining table was his girlfriend, Carla Pereira.

"Dad, I won the game today!" Giuliano Simeone had been waiting at the dining table for a long time. Today's dinner was his favorite pasta.

"Won? Great!" Diego Simeone came over and clapped his hands with his little son. "Did you score a goal?"

"No, but I assisted a goal. And I missed a penalty."

"Lost a penalty?"

"Yes, I shot it too high." Giuliano Simeone seemed a little frustrated. "When can I be as calm as you were at that time, Dad?"

"Me at that time? I wasn't very calm at that time, hahaha!" Diego Simeone laughed heartily. "Missed a penalty is also a part of life. Don't take it personally. Next time you shoot in a different direction, you will definitely be able to "Go in."

Giuliano Simeone nodded seriously, then shook his head, "But I don't plan to change direction, I still plan to punish the direction I went in today."

Diego Simeone looked up in surprise, and seeing the determination on his son's still somewhat immature face, he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I support you."

"You kid, as stubborn as your father." Carla Perreira brought a plate of fruit and gently tapped Giuliano Simeone's forehead with his hand, "Really."

"That's called determination, not stubbornness." Simeone smiled and defended his youngest son.

"Yes! I want to be a professional in the future"I'm a professional player who plays for his father in Atletico Madrid!"

"I believe that day is not too far away."

Carla Perreira looked at her youngest son's determination and liked him very much.

"Just now when you were working, Giovanni called and said that he would definitely come back to watch the final, but he also had a game arrangement a few days ago, so he might have to wait until the night before the final to fly to Lyon."

"It's hard." Diego Simeone frowned, "Florence to Lyon... It's so far."

Giuliano Simeone blinked and asked, "Dad, are you confident in the final?"

Diego Simeone said confidently, "Of course."

Giuliano Simeone nodded happily.

Carla Perreira looked at Giuliano, then at Diego Simeone, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, eat seriously. ”

Diego Simeone, head coach of Atletico Madrid.

What do people think of when they mention him? Fierce, cold, fanatical, these seemingly crazy adjectives?

People are sometimes deceived by themselves. For example, when looking at a person, people are always used to giving this person a fixed and traditional image, and then attaching their impression of this traditional image to this person.

Such a thought is a kind of inertia of thinking, which makes it difficult for us to see through a person's external performance to see his inner character essence. Our evaluation of Diego Simeone has fallen into such a vicious circle.

Simeone always stands on the sidelines of the court with passion, wearing his unchanging black coat. He often roars loudly in tense moments and always makes exaggerated movements during emergencies.

His behavior makes him look fierce and cold, just like the playing style of Atletico Madrid under him. Many fans therefore think that Simeone himself is also an active, ruthless, and bad-tempered gangster-like figure.

But at least at home, he is just a father who doesn't want to disappoint his children.
