The 100th Octopus Belly Troop
At the Proto Stadium in Brussels, the stands that can accommodate 50,000 people are already full. This kind of attendance has never happened in the past two years. People want to see what will happen to the Belgian team with Digan. Same.
In the home team lounge, Antiiennis stood aside after announcing the lineup. According to the agreement, it was time for Digan to perform.
It was the first time to represent Belgium in a game and become the captain of a team for the first time. Degan was also excited. Looking at these teammates, Degan stood up and walked slowly to the center of the waiting room.
"Today is the time to test us. I know that San Marino is a weak team. Such an opponent is not worthy of our efforts. Don't be surprised. I'm talking about what you think in your heart."
When Degan said this, he paused slightly and looked at the expressions of his teammates. Obviously, some people thought so in their hearts. It's no wonder that San Marino's team is really too weak.
In a small country with a population of just over 30,000, even if you choose the big one, it is already a rare thing to be able to select eleven players. Can anyone expect San Marino to beat Belgium?
What a joke!
After thinking about it for a while, smiles appeared on the faces of the players. Degan saw all this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I think you all got a question wrong. Our task today is to compete. And to win, it has nothing to do with who the opponent is, San Marino is weak, they are not even comparable to the lower league teams in Belgium, but you have to remember, they are an obstacle to our way to the World Cup in Germany, if If you choose to underestimate your opponent, we would have already lost before the game even started!"
The Belgian players became serious in an instant. During training these days, they have fully seen Degan's methods. When this young man gets angry, even a famous player like Van Buyten can't help but feel a headache. .
"Remember what I said to you that day. Football is football. It has nothing to do with blood, skin color, or language. What we want is victory. This requires strength to speak. Put away those messy thoughts in your mind. There are no Flemish people here. Walloons, not to mention Brazilians, Congolese, there are only Belgians here. When we wear this team uniform, we represent the country of Belgium. We have a mission on our shoulders, and this mission is to lead this country. The country's football is moving forward. By the way, please forget the title of European Red Devils, because we are not worthy now. Has anyone seen a devil who can't even go to the World Cup? Today! It's today, please everyone remember, this will be a great revival In the beginning, the Belgian national team was strong and had a glorious past, but those who have nothing to do with us, those who have not participated in it, are not qualified to share those prides, and there is nothing to recall, because soon , we will let the whole world know how powerful the new Belgian football will be!"
When the two sides were about to play, the players of the San Marino national team could clearly feel that the Belgian players were as restless as caged beasts. There was hunger in their eyes, and some people realized that , I'm afraid today's life will be difficult.
Antiiennis and his assistant Francois stood side by side, with relaxed smiles on their faces, not because they were belittling their opponents, but because they both knew that from today onwards, Belgian football will really be different up.
"That speech just now was really powerful!"
Antiiennis smiled and said: "Of course! I know, that kid is trustworthy, old friend, we should all be proud, because we are fortunate to experience a great era, an era that belongs to Belgian football!"
Before this game, San Marino's captain Valentini once said that they must fight until the last minute during the game and use their football to make their fans happy.
But just after the game started, they were stunned by a blow to the head.
"Rod! Beautiful header! When he leaps high, in front of San Marino's goal, there is absolutely no match for him! He just puts the ball in the cross of Gour so easily! Belgium national team The old and new captains completed the handover ceremony with such a goal!"
Amid the cheers of the commentator, Degan did not celebrate with open arms after scoring a goal like he did in the league. Instead, he rushed into the goal of San Marino, snatched the football from the goalkeeper, turned around and shot towards the center. run in circles.
"Guys! Don't stand still, are you satisfied with this? Get moving, we want to attack, we want to score goals, and keep scoring goals!"
Degan roared loudly, looking at his expression, he was even angry. He obviously scored a goal, but it looked as if Belgium was still behind.
Some Belgian fans at the scene just sat down and jumped up excited by Digan's goal. The goal was so fast that some fans didn't even see it, but saw the people next to them jumping up and cheering to celebrate Only then did they realize that the team they supported had scored a goal so quickly.
But looking at Degan's appearance, there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction. Although he scored a goal, can this stop? Can you enjoy the next game with peace of mind?
Obviously not.
In the lounge just now, Degan said those words, and now he is responsible for every word he said. There is only one way for him to prove his words with his performance, and that is to score goals desperately.
To let the whole team be infected by him, and then involuntarily enter into his rhythm, Belgium does not lack excellent players, and even Digan can say that the Belgian national team is much stronger than the Atlanta he is currently playing for. , they have no reason not to win.
Soon, the Belgian players were infected by Degan. That's right, it's not time to be careless, so after Degan's goal, the other Belgian players didn't celebrate the goal, and didn't even hug Degan. Accompanied by Digan's shouts, he turned and ran back to his own half.
"It's unbelievable, Belgium took the lead in the first two minutes, it was their first shot, it was a great start, but looking at Rod and the rest of the players, they don't seem to be satisfied with this. They still want to score goals! This is really strange, is there any grudge between San Marino and Belgium? The two sides didn't have any gossip before the game, did they?"
The commentator felt strange, and so did the fans and reporters who saw this scene. Perhaps the strangest one was the dozen or so San Marino fans who came to Belgium to watch the game.
They all came here for entertainment. They know exactly what level their country's football is, and they don't expect San Marino to win. They just want to enjoy football, but why is Belgium so active today?
Looking at Belgium's posture today, it will not give up until it wins a big victory!
The San Marino players on the field were also puzzled: Who are we offending?
Some players looked at their captain Valentini, thinking: Could it be that this guy drank too much nonsense before the game started, which caused Belgium's hatred?
Valentini is also very wronged, he is a sculptor, football is just his hobby, he just slightly processed the atmosphere of the game from an artistic point of view.
Degan put the football on the center line, then stepped aside, and even reminded the referee, urging the San Marino players to kick off quickly and don't work on the sidelines.
"Cheer up, we are not here to play today, whether it has anything to do with you or not, we must forgive our bad grades before!"
The Belgian players didn't dare to desert after hearing the words. Who knows what embarrassing words will come out of Digan's mouth, but cheer up and play seriously. Just like what Digan said, I'm afraid that's the only way to wash away. Shame on them.
The European Red Devils are actually stepped on by a bad team like Lithuania. I feel ashamed to think about it!
So when the game restarted, the Belgian team pressed forward across the board, with such momentum that San Marino couldn't even pass the ball forward, but could only pass back all the way, and finally passed to the goalkeeper's feet.
The goalkeeper saw the Belgian players rushing up, looked ahead, and looked around, it seemed that there were Belgian players wearing red jerseys in every corner of the stadium. Wherever he went, perhaps wherever he kicked, he could only fall to the feet of the Belgian player, so he kicked forward with a big foot in a hurry.
When Belgium was attacking, Degan was naturally the arrow figure in the front. When he saw the opponent's goalkeeper about to kick, he jumped up, turned around in the air, and used his wide back to block the opponent, hoping Can create some pressure on the opposing goalkeeper and force him to make mistakes.
Although Degan didn't hold out hope, the chance of success is too small. Only in the last European Cup qualifiers, Echeberia of the Spanish national team stepped on shit for a day. As a result, the opponent's goalkeeper, A big foot hit the back of the head of Echeberia, who was running towards his own half, and the ball drew a beautiful parabola and finally fell into the goal.
Although Digan really wanted to imitate, it required the cooperation of the San Marino goalkeeper. He jumped up now just to scare the San Marino goalkeeper.
But then Degan felt something hitting his back hard!
There was a "boom"!
Turning my head again, I found that the football bypassed the stunned San Marino goalkeeper, and then fell into the goal!
The Proto Stadium in Brussels suddenly fell into a strange silence. The fans really didn't know whether to cheer or laugh at this time. Looking at the San Marino goalkeeper kneeling on the ground with his head folded, they even felt a little bit of sympathy. . Everyone just looked at the stadium stupidly together, quietly waiting for the referee to say something.
The referee couldn't believe his eyes at the moment, this kind of thing can happen? The ball went in just like that?
It took a while for the Belgian fans to remember that this is the moment they should be cheering. After all, did the team score?
If the team scores a goal, it should be cheered, otherwise, can it still be booed?
"2:0! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! It's unbelievable! Only one minute has passed since the last goal! It's just that this goal is really weird. Of course, it can't all be blamed on their goalkeeper De La Vallé. The main responsibility for the ball is to blame their other players first. Facing the pressing of the Belgian team, they only know how to pass back continuously, and finally pass to the goalkeeper. Being able to make a hasty kick, and the goal happened, okay! Although this scene is a bit funny, but in this way, San Marino will not get nothing in this World Cup European qualifier, at least they have gained an assist , although it was an assist to the opponent! Faced with such a conceded goal, we can only say that San Marino's luck is really bad!"
The commentator was teasing unscrupulously. In fact, he didn't know what to say. With this goal, stop joking, should he praise Digan's big body?
If Deegan hadn't been strong and broad-shouldered, the ball wouldn't have hit him and bounced into the net, which seems a bit like irony.
That being the case, let's tease poor San Marino pastry chef Mr. de la Valle!
At this time, I don't know how many fans in front of the TV laughed their stomachs.
This is so hilarious!
Digan also looked helpless, he could swear to God, he really just wanted to scare the opponent's goalkeeper, who let the ball hit him, fortunately it was his back, if it hit his butt, then The fun will be great.
Degan congratulated his ass, and then continued to rush into the goal, picked up the football and ran back. This time, the San Marino goalkeeper De La Valle didn't even fight him, and he was still on his knees. , some couldn't believe this fact, and by the way, looked for the ground seam that didn't exist at all.
"Don't stand still! The game is still going on, and we have to score more goals!" Degan shouted, as if he felt that the scene just now was also very embarrassing.
A group of Belgian cattle looked at Digan's broad shoulders maliciously, thinking: Goal! Is it all smashed in on the back?
The San Marino players have been completely stunned, their brains are blank. Although he is only two goals behind, it doesn't look like a lot, and he won't be beaten to the point of being stunned, but look at the game time at this time!
The game started in less than four minutes, and the second goal was caused by San Marino's own goalkeeper's desire to perform too much to entertain the audience.
Because god-like opponents are not scary, what is really scary is pig-like teammates!
The morale of the San Marino players plummeted. As a result, in the 15th minute of the game, Degan scored the third goal of the game for the team and completed his first hat-trick in the national team. This time Degan was no longer so He treated himself harshly, and started his trademark galloping celebration again.
The San Marino players stared blankly at the European Red Devils who were embracing and celebrating. They wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. The game had just started fifteen minutes ago, and they were already 3-0 behind.
This is a crazy situation! ?
elder brother! We just want to play football happily, and we don't want to compete with you for the promotion qualification! How expensive is the air ticket to Germany, and our little funds are simply not enough.
Give some face first! boss!
It's not easy, anyway, we represent San Marino, it's a little small, but it's still a country, okay? Is it necessary?
Killing is nothing but nodding!
Know a little about the Chinese philosophy of life, okay? ?
How did these San Marino players know that the one who took the lead in slaughtering them now is a Chinese with a soul piercing. What he believes in is not killing people without nodding their heads.
Didn't you yell fiercely before the game?
Don't you want to fight until the last second for the honor of the country?
Don't they want to use their football to bring fans the enjoyment of victory?
All right!
San Marino fans don't need to enjoy it, let's let the Belgian fans who have been hungry for a long time have a good time!
The pitiful look in the San Marino player's eyes was automatically ignored by Degan and others. After finally catching such a softie, wouldn't it be too sorry for him if he didn't get melatonin.
"With Digan, the Belgian national team's performance on the field is completely different. When the two teams played against each other in the last round, the Belgian team only relied on Goul and Mponsa's two goals in the first and second half to get the final result. The victory, but now the game has only lasted fifteen minutes, and it seems that there is no need to continue this game!"
The Belgian commentator actually began to tease with a relaxed tone at this moment, which has not been felt for a long time.
Antiiennis got up and walked to the sidelines. He is now hesitating whether he should slow down the pace of the game and start a fierce attack around the opponent's half like now, but it is very exhausting. The team will face a strong opponent in the next game Serbia and Montenegro, this game will not work if the physical exertion is too much.
But before he could say anything, Degan made a decision for him in advance: "Don't stop, keep attacking, keep scoring goals, are you satisfied now?"
Go on the offensive! ?
Antiiennis frowned slightly, but soon he understood Degan's intentions. Looking at the crazy Belgian fans at the scene, they hadn't enjoyed such a hearty victory for a long time. The Belgian national team has not performed well in recent years. , The fans' enthusiasm for watching the game has also dropped a lot.
It is a great thing to have such an opportunity after all, to make the fans happy and help the team rebuild their confidence.
Thinking of this, Antiiennis also waved vigorously towards San Marino's half, and continued to strengthen his attack.
Again!
The players in San Marino couldn't help feeling a little desperate. Of course, they also had anger in their hearts, but this kind of anger was not enough for them to burst out with strong fighting power. Incarnation of Pele, Maradona, and Beckenbauer, they just had all the strength , but they could only watch helplessly as the Belgian team moved skillfully in front of them, advancing towards the penalty area bit by bit, and then shot a fatal goal.
The celebration party was held again. At this time, no one of the fans was sitting and watching the game. Everyone was jumping, jumping, cheering and singing loudly in the stands. At this time, they were the happiest in the world. people.
The few San Marino fans in the first place couldn't stay any longer at this time. It was too embarrassing. It wasn't that they couldn't accept the defeat. The key was that it was too embarrassing to lose like this.
"Beautiful! It's Digan again! With a long shot from outside the penalty area, the San Marino goalkeeper seemed helpless. All he could do was turn his head and watch the football go into the net. Of course he should be more thankful, after all, the ball was not He assisted!"
Fortunately, the goalkeeper of San Marino couldn't hear the commentator's teasing, otherwise, he would really hit the post and die.
When the first half was coming to an end, Belgium's old captain Gour also scored a goal. With an assist from Digan, he crossed to the left and made a cross. Gour quickly followed up with a header and blasted the ball. Goal.
After the goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The whistle sounded wonderful to the San Marino players. For forty-five minutes, their relaxed mood immediately became melancholy again.
At that moment just now, they really mistook it as the whistle for the end of the game, and they could be relieved, but soon they became sober. The only thing they can do now is not to adjust their tactics, but to pray for the second half The Belgians can realize with conscience that scoring a few fewer goals will at least keep them from stuffing their heads into their underpants.
"We played very well in the first half, but we didn't score enough goals, not enough goals. We could have scored more goals, but some of us slacked off and wasted several opportunities. This is absolutely unforgivable behavior. Don't forget our mission today. We want to stand up again and regain the support of the fans. We must first let them know that we are a group of trustworthy men and we must not relax. It is not the time to relax. Don't think San Marino is weak, so take it lightly. If you don't want to be ridiculed after the game, you should all cheer up. We don't have time to walk on the field. All we have to do is score goals, keep scoring goals! "
Degan roared loudly, making everyone nervous. Although some people felt that Degan was critical, their hearts told them that they liked this feeling very much.
In the locker room of the visiting team, the head coach of San Marino did not arrange any tactics during the halftime break. Everyone knelt down on the ground and silently prayed to God that the Belgians would let them go in the second half.
But obviously God is on vacation today. Just a minute after the start of the second half, Belgium scored another goal. This time it was Degan who scored the goal. This is already his fifth goal of the game.
"6:0! Please forgive me, I don't know what to say now. Digan's world wave is very beautiful. Of course, their continuous passing was also very exciting. It seems that the Belgian team really does not intend to let go today. Poor San Marino! They should have known that as long as San Marino has tourism, football is really not something they should touch. Why bother with the result like this?"
Really, why bother, but since you are working hard to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, you must have the consciousness to be a big fish. When Degan just joined this team and urgently needs to establish prestige, don't use them. Who will be stabbed?
The Belgian fans in the stands were smiling so hard that their faces were numb at the moment. How long has it been since they were as happy as they are now?
Years of depression, all vented out today at once.
At this moment, Digan is the hero of the whole Belgium!
After scoring the goal, Degan also raised his arms and shouted. There is really nothing to be happy about beating an opponent like San Marino, but the meaning of this game is different. This is his first international game since he announced that he will join Belgium. Stop the goal and tell the world that Degan is still Degan after leaving Brazil!
It is not him who suffers, but the Brazilian team!
"Continue! None of us can stop, keep attacking, keep scoring! What we want is a victory that the whole world will remember us!"
So what if Belgium can only rank fourth in the group?
That was the Belgian national team before. Now with him Degan, everything will be different. Those who underestimate Belgian football should be careful. The European Red Devils are slowly recovering. Next they have to face a team The real Devil's team again.
"The feeling of the Belgian team today is very different. Although they played very tough in the game as before, but their current performance gives people the feeling that they seem very angry, as if they need to vent something. I can be sure that Belgium and San Marino have no historical enmity, because the intersection of these two teams is very small, and they are not on the same level at all, so I can only say that San Marino is really innocent and unlucky today. At the wrong time, against a team hungry for victory, looking at this posture, Belgium obviously will not just give up this game, they will continue to chase chances to score goals!"
Belgium can continue to score goals, the fans at the scene are of course happy, what they want is this kind of game, keep scoring goals, and keep chasing victories. As for San Marino, is it poor? Although they also sympathize with the weak, their sympathy is not It doesn't apply today.
San Marino has always wanted nothing. They participated in the World Cup qualifiers just for their love of football, but Belgium is different. They have pursuits.
