Chapter 36 I'm Back
Playing smoothly in the league and winning consecutive victories, Fiorentina has successfully climbed to the sixth position in the league and entered the European competition circle.
After the game against Udinese, world football will usher in another national team match day. Fiorentina is also a big player in international football. Among them, Maggio, Montolivo and Ledesma have been selected for the Italian national team. Ujfalusi is a Czech international, Hamsik has also been selected for the latest Slovakian national team, Mutu will go to the Romanian national team to report, Jorgensen is a Danish international, Digan and Kompany will go to Brussels Participate in the training camp of the Belgian national team.
During the period when Degan was recovering from his injuries, the record of the Belgian national team based on the 2006 World Cup in Germany can only be described as miserable. It lacks the absolute fulcrum on the front line, the absolute core on the field, and the ongoing European Cup qualifiers In the competition, the Belgian national team only achieved two wins, one draw and two losses in five games, ranking fifth in the group.
Antiiennis is also under a lot of pressure now. Fortunately, now that Degan is back, Belgium will face the two weakest teams in the group, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, and want to compete for the right to qualify If so, these two games will be the best time for Belgium to score points.
When Degan arrived at the training camp, all he saw were familiar faces. The blowout period of Belgian football talent still needs to wait for a few more years. Those Mavericks are still growing in the cloud and want to lead A super strong team is competing in international competitions, Degan can only wait patiently.
The current record is mediocre, and the atmosphere of the Belgian national team is also a bit dignified. Now Belgium has seven points in the group, ranking fifth. The first place in the group is Finland with 11 points, followed by Serbia and Poland with 10 points. Portugal, which has the strongest overall strength, ranks fourth with Belgium on seven points.
Seeing Degan coming, Antiiennis also had a long-lost smile on his face. He is really under a lot of pressure now. The World Cup in Germany and Belgian football have amazed people, but what about the absence of Degan? ?
Belgium can only be regarded as a second-rate European team at best!
"Rod! Welcome back!"?? Stadium Maniac 36
Digan smiled and shook hands with Antiiennis: "I have waited for a long time, how do you feel now? It feels very good! How is it? Coach, do you need me to talk to everyone?"
Degan is very clear that the most important problem that the Belgian national team needs to solve now is morale. According to Belgium's normal strength, it is considered normal to play so far, but in the World Cup in Germany, Belgian football surprised the fans too much. It's getting bigger, now that a European Cup group stage is played so embarrassingly, people are disappointed, and there are a few harsh words for the players, the most common one is: Rhodes is gone! Don't you guys know how to play football?
Along the way, Degan also heard a lot from Kompany. Degan can feel that the players in the Belgian team have a kind of dependence on him now. This kind of dependence makes Degan don't know whether to be happy or helpless up.
Of course it feels good to be dependent, but if you are overly dependent, it will inevitably make people lazy.
Knowing Degan's prestige in the team, Antiiennis nodded, "I also think it's time for them to wake up!"
Digan smiled, turned around and was about to walk towards the training ground.
"Rod!" Antiiennis stopped him suddenly, looked at Digan, hesitated, and said, "Rhod! Belgium can't live without the European Cup!"
Digan smiled: "Of course, I think so too!"
The other Belgian players saw Digan arrive a long time ago, and they couldn't help but feel excited in their hearts. They were really looking forward to the feeling of winning the game.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Degan clapped his hands and walked in front of his teammates. His eyes paused on everyone's faces. The training field became quiet all of a sudden. When everyone was feeling anxious and at a loss, Degan Laughed.
"Guys! I'm back!"
Just a word, everyone clearly felt the strong self-confidence in Digan.
"It seems that our current situation is not very good. Seeing that I am back, do you feel this way, hey! Digan is here! All problems will be solved!? How? Isn't this feeling good?"
Digan paused at this point, and his eyes became sharper: "People who think like this are shit. I'm not a savior, nor a firefighter. I'm just one of you. Do you want to go to the European Cup? It's not for me to decide, I'm back, just to fight with you, and I need your strength."?? Stadium Maniac 36
Degan's words made the Belgian players' eyes gradually light up. They have always felt that they are living in the shadow of Degan. The public opinion of the media and the attitude of the fans make them feel that as long as there is Degan Gan, can solve all problems, they just need to follow Degan to mix honors, but they forget that they are also members of this team, and the football game is a matter of eleven people.
"I'm back! I hope everything can return to the right track. Before we officially start our new journey, we still need to determine a goal. I don't think that reaching the main match of the European Cup is a victory, and neither is the knockout round. The final four is still not enough, we have only one goal, and that is the championship!"
champion!
The goal of Degan in every event is to be a champion. Only a champion can make people feel satisfied and only a champion can make people feel excited.
"The World Cup has passed. Unfortunately, I want to say sorry to all of you here. I couldn't accompany you to the end. In that final, you all performed very well. I am so sorry for having all of you." My teammates are proud, but this time, I will not fall again, I will go to the end with you, and go to lift the Delaunay Cup with you!"
In the World Cup final, when Degan left the field, the Belgian team still performed very tenaciously. If it weren't for Inzaghi's lore at the last moment, they might even drag the game into a penalty shootout, but they failed in the end. Failure is not any It is the responsibility of one person, but failure is failure, and it is impossible to erase that period of history. All they can do is to prove themselves with more brilliant achievements.
"Championship! Champions are what we want, and it requires each of us to contribute 100 percent. From now on, our legend will begin. I wish everyone the best preparations, guys! We will be the best in Belgian football. history and become a hero of the country of Belgium!"
Become history, become a legend, become a hero!
Who doesn't want to?
Money is very important, but money also has a shelf life, only honor is eternal!
The Belgian players who were originally demoralized due to poor record, public opinion pressure, were completely ignited by Degan's words. They are also part of this team, and it makes no sense to rely on Degan for everything.
In the following training, Antiiennis could clearly feel the changes in the players. They became active and active. Instead of tense nerves, they should sink into a relaxed mood. Fighting, fighting, Digan's words, let There is only one word left in everyone's mind, they want to fight!
"Run! Run! Don't stop anyone. In the official game, you will not get the ball so easily, and the opponent will not give you such a chance. Don't expect the football to reach your feet by itself and rush up. , rush up and run in the direction of the football!"
"Gul! You bastard, well done, that's it, treat that damn Simmons as your enemy, kill him!"
"Simmons! What? Are you out of strength? Run, don't let me follow, kick your ass!"
"Kopany! Damn it! What the hell are you thinking to prevent me from shooting! And you, Proto, are you going to take care of the sick? Don't pity me, I'm stronger than you think!"
Degan kept roaring loudly, and every Belgian player felt as if there was a mad dog following behind him. They could only run non-stop under the urging of Degan, who had already entered a mad state.
What was staged on the training field was a real fight with real knives and guns. People kept falling and turning their backs. Every goal was a crazy celebration, but what followed was a crazy counterattack by the opponent.
Francois couldn't help worrying secretly: "Is this really okay? What if someone gets hurt?"
Antiiennis was not worried at all, he knew that Degan had a sense of propriety: "It's okay! Those guys need someone to wake them up, the success of the World Cup made them too proud, people can't rest on their laurels, Degan is doing this Awaken their desire to fight!"
Looking at the desperate players on the field, Antiiennis was suddenly full of confidence in the upcoming games. Kazakhstan, which once brought humiliation to Belgian football in the away game, may not have a good life now.
The training went on until night, and when everything stopped, the first reaction of every Belgian player was to go to the ground, cursing in his heart that Digan would die.
Digan was also exhausted, but he could still persevere. Looking at his teammates who looked like remnants of defeated soldiers, Digan felt a burst of pride in his heart. It's just that some of the physiotherapists in the team may be busy tonight.
At the press conference the next day, Degan and Antiiennis attended together. Degan's comeback was a big news. Almost all the professional media in Belgium rushed to the scene, and reporters from other countries also came to join in the fun .
"Can Digan play in tomorrow's game!?"
Naturally, this is the question that people are most concerned about.
Antiiennis sat on the sidelines. Today's press conference, he has already decided, is completely handed over to Digan.
Degan raised his head: "Of course! Of course I will play. I have rested for half a year. Now every game is very important to me, and I don't want to miss it!"
"The current situation of the national team is not very good, Rhodes! What do you think of the prospects of Belgium!?"
Degan smiled and was full of confidence: "Of course it is to crush all opponents, there is no doubt about it, we will participate in the 2008 European Cup as scheduled, we will go, no one can stop us, no one can , Kazakhstan, Moldova, and even Finland, Poland, Serbia, Portugal, and Armenia behind, they don't want to stop us! There is only one spot for the group, and we have already booked in advance!"
Depend on!
Do you dare to be more shameless? It's like everyone else is dead! ?
"I know what you're thinking, we're only fifth in the group now, but what's the deal? The group stage isn't over yet, we still have nine games left, I think that's enough for us to qualify!"
"Don't think I'm the only one in the Belgian national team. I've heard some people say that without me, Belgium can only be regarded as second-tier in Europe. Fighting, but the performance of some fans before made me very disappointed, as well as you Belgian domestic media, you misled the public opinion. When my teammates were fighting for honor for this country, you actually came behind Face-to-face dismantling, non-stop complaining, even attacking the national team, and some people have turned over the old accounts of the Flemish and Walloons. If you have done it before, I hope you will correct it. If you are still obsessed If you don't realize it, I can only say that you don't deserve to be Belgians at all!"
"The battle at the national level is not about one person, not even the national team. It needs everyone's strength, including fans and the media. Everyone is very important. We must unite and let the whole of Europe fight." Re-acquainting with Belgium, runner-up in the World Cup may be a huge success in your eyes, but for me, runner-up means failure, yes! It is failure! We failed to win the Hercules Cup before, and now we Lifting the Delaunay Cup! We need to fight together, defeat every enemy in front of us, and then celebrate victory together!"
Degan's words quickly spread throughout Belgium. The Belgian fans who had been complaining about the national team's record before now felt ashamed.
As Digan said, others are fighting for the honor of the country, but they are behind the scenes.
Support Rhodes! Support the national team!
People took action one after another. This time, whether it was the blind Frye or the Walloons, everyone automatically stood together, and they wanted to fight with the national team.
Someone posted a post on the Internet: Let the Kazakhs feel like a hellish home field!
Degan looked at these and just kept laughing, and then went to continue training his teammates. In his words, before winning the European Cup, no one has a reason to rest.
