Chapter 175 Na England's First Time

After the first round of the European Cup group stage, except for Italy's three-goal defeat to the Netherlands, it was a bit surprising, but there was no big upset. Basically, they should win. They all won. Those who didn't win were also weak.

There is no time for rest, and the second round will follow immediately. Group A is the first to start. Turkey faces the host Switzerland, as well as Belgium and the Czech Republic.

The day before the game, the atmosphere in the training ground of the Belgian team was a bit tense. Fellaini, who received a red card in the last game, was sent to the substitute side. It was a bit surprising who took his place.

Not Witsek as the media predicted, but Na England!

As usual, Degan was doing warm-up training alone on the sidelines. He didn't need to participate in this kind of group confrontation training. It wasn't that he wanted to be lazy, but Antiiennis was afraid that he would get hurt.

"Rod!" Antiiennis waved at Digan.

Digan heard the words and ran towards Antiiennis: "Coach! What are your orders!"

Degan seemed very relaxed. He couldn't play in the group stage. Even if he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, it didn't help the team.

Antiiennis stared at the training ground with a pair of eyes, and frowned slightly: "Rods! Radgar doesn't seem to have adapted to his position yet!"

Degan is also very aware of Na England's current situation. He played a wide position in Piacenza, but in the national team, he became a small accomplice next to Gul, although Degan knew that Na England was ultimately in the center. Famous in the position of forward and defensive midfielder, but so far, he has not discovered his potential.

On the training ground, Na England is obviously a bit restrained and can't let go of his hands and feet. When defending, he is not bad. With Gul as a veteran by his side, his defensive pressure is not too great, and he runs very actively, although he is not as good as Fei. Lenny is a physical beast, but Na England is very smart and knows how to make his defensive area cover a larger area while saving his energy.

In this regard, Na England has made great progress, at least it is much better than when he first came to the national team, he was in a hurry.

However, the offense Degan and Antiiennis expected was not shown at all. According to the tactical arrangement of Antiiennis Nice, Na England should become a very important point of the team's offense. Na England has a long shot , especially the long-range shot from a 45-degree oblique position outside the penalty area is very powerful.

It's just that now the kid seems to have forgotten his weapon, or is worried about making a mistake, and always shrinks back. Even the full-time defensive midfielder Gul's position is higher than him.

"That kid seems too cautious!"

Deegan understands Na England's performance like this. After all, it is a new position and he is a rookie in the national team. He is worried about making mistakes and causing the team to lose goals because of himself.

"Radgar!" Digan suddenly yelled, "Come on! Are you going to hide behind and watch the show?"

On the training field, the main team was attacking. Dembele received a pass from Martens from the side and was about to break through. Vertonghen pressed it out at the first time. Eakins stared at him, and Dembele held the ball, but there was no point around him to respond.

Degan's roar stunned all the players on the training ground. Naenglan, who was still in the center line, trembled suddenly. In the locker room that day, Degan scolded Fellaini and Dembele. He still remembers the bloody scene.

attack! ?

Na England was ruthless and rushed towards the half of the substitute side. After the football passed Simmons's transition, it passed to his feet. Na England shouted and shot a long shot directly to the goal.

When he was in Piacenza, he played the position on the left side, but he was not strong, fast, and his skills were not outstanding. The long-range shot hit the goal, which is his specialty. His long-range shot does not pay attention to strength, but the pursuit of angle, and it directly hits the far post.

Na England's long-range shot had a great arc, Bailey was caught off guard, and hurriedly backed up and moved towards the far post, but his speed, how could it be faster than a football, so he could only lean back with all his strength, stretched his arms, and wanted to Fish out the ball.

Boom!

Na England's long-range shot was very good, but unfortunately, a little bit of luck, it hit the far post and bounced back.

"Very good! Radja! Just like this, you are a part of the team's offense. Don't be afraid of losing the ball. If you see the opportunity, you must press it! Understand?"

Although the goal was not scored, Na Englander's attack was very clever just now, which probably has something to do with his constant playing on the side. The subsequent long-range shot, although not scored, was also very exciting.

When Na England heard Degan's praise, his original nervousness was instantly swept away and he became excited.

It turns out I can too!

Before that, Na England could not help feeling inferior to anyone in the national team. His teammates included not only superstars like Digan, but also players like Kompany and Van Buyten who played for giants. Playing for well-known teams at home and abroad, he is the only one, a small player from Serie B, even in Piacenza, he is not an absolute main force.

Originally, he was a bit shy, coupled with this low self-esteem, he spent every day in the national team with trepidation, fearing that if he made a mistake, he would lose his chance to participate in this kind of international competition. qualifications.

But now, with this sense of tension gone, Na England began to look forward to his future in the national team. In the last two days of training, he was placed on the main side. In the game against the Czech Republic, he is likely to become the main force of the team.

For the past two days, Na England has been so tormented by this incident that he can't even sleep well. He is both looking forward to it and worried at the same time.

Because they have already lost to Turkey, the team has now been forced to a dead end. The game against the Czech Republic cannot be lost anyway. If there is another problem, Belgium will have to pack up and go home.

Naenglan is looking forward to playing for his country and representing Belgium in this life-and-death battle, but he is worried whether he can cope with this crucial game. If his mistake causes the team to lose the game, he will I don't know if I will have the courage to stand on the court again in the future.

But now, with this long-range shot, all worries were shattered, as if a difficulty had been passed, and all problems were solved.

Antiiennis was also a little surprised: "That kid seems to be enlightened!?"

After the attack just now, Na England has indeed changed. He is still hardworking in defense and active in running. Although his frontal defense ability is still not very good, his attitude is very good. He often defends like brown sugar. , was able to buy time for his teammates to return to defense, and began to dare to step in when attacking. When it was time to shoot, he was so soft, he was a completely different person.

"If he can perform like this in tomorrow's game, our chances will be even greater!"

The reason why Antiiennis agreed without hesitation when Digan recommended Na England to replace Fellaini was because he valued Na England's vertical impact ability. Regardless of Na England's not strong body, but this Indonesian descendant His physical fitness is very good, and his running ability is very outstanding.

Fellaini is a midfield meat grinder, and the gate in front of the defense cannot be played. The first thing Antiiennis needs to do is to enhance the defensive ability of the midfielder. Witsek has a strong offensive ability, but the defensive strength needs to be improved. The difference is a lot. In fact, Antiiennis only has one choice left, Na England. It is also a gamble to take Na England as the main force. If you win the bet, everything will be fine. Ennis's is doomed.

The next day, the day of the game arrived. The match between Belgium and the Czech Republic was still held in Geneva. Before this game, there was a contest between Turkey and Switzerland.

Although the Swiss team has the advantage of home court, after seeing Turkey's performance in the last game, no one would think that they have a chance to beat the Star and Moon Army. It can be said that as the host, the fate of the Swiss team's exit has basically been determined.

The only suspense in Group A is who can get the second ticket to the knockout round between the Czech Republic and Belgium.

Before going to the stadium, Antiiennis announced the starting lineup for this game. The goalkeeper is still Bailey. Although he conceded two goals in the last game, neither of those conceded goals was his responsibility. It can be said , if there is no Bailey, Belgium will lose even worse in the last game.

The defense line from left to right is still Lombalz, Kompany, Vermaelen and Van Buyten. In the previous game against Turkey, Belgium had three lines. The defense performed best, although the two sides had the opportunity to assist. Not much, but the defense is very solid.

The only adjustment in the midfield is that Na England replaced the suspended Fellaini, and the other three are Simmons, Gul and Martens.

On the forward line, Miralas is still forward, and Dembele is lagging behind. In the last game, the two have formed a tacit understanding. Although Degan was furious after the game, but I have to admit that Miralas and Dembele It is the best choice for the Belgian team at present.

When Naenglan heard that he was the main force, although he was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help being a little nervous and a little excited when he heard Antiiennis announce it himself. This was his first time representing the national team in an international competition Come out!
