Chapter 190 Old is Old

Chapter 190 Old is Old

On the training ground of the Belgian team, the atmosphere in the team at this moment has become very different from those days before, not only because of qualifying from the group, but more importantly, Degan finally came back.

After the three-match suspension ended, Degan could finally play for the Belgian team. From training, his teammates could feel that Degan was like a tiger out of the cage. He could only play for three consecutive games. Watching from the sidelines, Digan was so suffocated that he was about to explode.

"Fellaini! Can't run anymore? Don't let me see you stop! Run! Run!"

Fellaini had a bitter look on his face. It has been more than half an hour since the training started. Digan has not stopped talking, and his eyes have been staring at him. Digan scolded loudly.

Fellaini is also hot-tempered. It's not that he doesn't want to refute, but he doesn't dare at all. In the Belgian team, if Antiiennes is the king, then Digan is the emperor above the king.

In the Belgian team, Degan's words are orders, and no one can refute them, even the veterans in the team.

"I think Rhodes should be stopped. If this is the case, I can't guarantee that we will have enough players to play tomorrow's game!" Assistant coach Francois looked worried.

The original plan today was to prepare for some restorative training. After all, the three group matches have just ended, and the players still need to rest and adjust their physical functions. However, Degan has a different opinion. In the end, Degan won. , Restoration training, turned into group confrontation exercises.

"Don't worry, old buddy! Rhodes knows it well, that guy is very shrewd." Antiiennis was not worried at all, and he trusted Digan 100%.

Francois smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay! Since you have said so, what else can I say!"

After finishing speaking, Francois suddenly became preoccupied again, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Old friend, I remember that your contract with the Football Association only ends at the end of the European Cup, don't they ask you to renew the contract?" something?"

Hearing François ask about this matter, the smile on Antiiennis's face disappeared. It was originally agreed that as long as the group qualified, he would get a contract extension, but until now... until now, he has not seen Belgium The Football Association has any action.

And there are rumors that the Belgian Football Association seems to be planning to invite a so-called famous coach to lead the Belgian team to move forward.

In this regard, what can Antiiennis do: "Maybe the Football Association has other ideas!"

When Francois heard this, he was upset for a while, and said angrily: "Another idea, those bastard bureaucrats, they don't understand football at all!"

Antiiennis smiled bitterly: "Old man! If you really leave the Belgian national team, where do you plan to go?"

Francois said: "What else can I think about? Of course, I will continue to hang out with you. If we can go further in the European Cup, are we afraid that we will not be able to find a job?"

Antiiennis couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that, after working with Francois for so many years, he was used to having such an assistant by his side, friend: "Actually, Francois, with your ability and qualifications , In fact, he can already coach a team alone!"

Francois rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to face those bureaucrats at the press conference, so it's easier to follow you, old friend, don't you want to leave me and find someone else to give you Be an assistant!?"

Francois's resentful eyes made Antiiennis dumbfounded: "Of course not, but if I change teams, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet such an outstanding player as Rhodes!"

Degan on the training field didn't know that there were two people on the sidelines who were worrying about their future and fate. All he could think about now was how to kill the German tanks blocking his way.

After training in the morning, Degan just walked out of the training field and was about to follow the team back to the hotel when he was surrounded by reporters. After the suspension ended, Degan became the most shining star player in Belgium again.

The focus of the reporters' inquiries was, of course, Belgium's preparations and their next opponent, the German team.

"The atmosphere in the team is very good now. After a difficult group stage, we have now reached the knockout stage and will face new challenges. I would like to thank my teammates. It is precisely because of their outstanding performance that I have the ability The chance to play in the Euros."

After the group stage, the final ranking of Belgium's group was really surprising. Belgium lost 1:2 to Turkey in the first game, defeated the Czech Republic 2:1 in the second game, and defeated the host Switzerland 3:0 in the last game. With one win and one loss, six points and three goal difference, they ranked first in the group.

The Turkish team reversed Belgium 2:1 in the first game and Switzerland 3:1 in the second game. Although they lost to the Czech Republic 1:2 in the last game, they scored six points with two wins and one loss in three games and got two goal difference.

The Czech team defeated the host Switzerland 1:0 in the first game, and lost to Belgium 1:2 in the second game. Although the last game of the group defeated Turkey 2:1, it also won two of three games and lost one, but only had a goal difference, and was eventually eliminated. .

"The group stage is very tough, but I am confident that in the next game, the game will become easier. The German team was once very strong, but their current state can only prove that they are old, really old! We are confident that we can beat them!"

This is not the first time Degan said that German football is old. When he was still playing for AC Milan, Degan said the same thing before the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. Hall, and the protest of the famous Rummenigge.

Now more than two years have passed, in Degan's eyes, German football is still synonymous with old age, without any change.

And from Degan's words, it is not difficult to feel that Degan's strong self-confidence, people will not think that Degan is arrogant, because everyone knows that Belgium with Degan and Belgium without Degan are completely different. Two different teams, if the Belgian team in the previous group stage can only be regarded as the second-tier European team, then after Degan's return, the European Red Devils will re-enter the ranks of the world's top teams. effect.

From other Belgian players, the reporters did not dare to feel the change in self-confidence. What brought them this confidence was not the qualifying of the group, but Degan's return.

Degan thinks that German football is old, and the Germans naturally want to refute it. The team captain Ballack said: "We will let that arrogant guy know that German football is good. When the time comes, he will find his own strength. What a stupid idea!"

In the season that just ended, Ballack's Chelsea was eliminated by Degan's Fiorentina in the Champions League semi-finals. After the second round of the two teams' contest, Ballack once expressed his dissatisfaction with the result. Now he has A chance for revenge.

"In the next game, the Brazilian won't even try to score a point against us. We will turn his European Cup debut into a disaster!"

Mertesacker, the backbone of the German team's defense, also said: "We are not worried about the game against Belgium. They will definitely not be our opponents. Digan is very confident, which is good. It will make the game more interesting. But the result of the game will not change, our goal is the final champion, a small Belgium will not be an obstacle for us!"

The current top scorer of the German team, Podolski, who has scored three goals, directly challenged Digan: "I will let everyone see who is the master of this game. If Digan It is wishful thinking to want to win in front of us!"

All right!

Degan's words successfully aroused the anger of the Germans and made the game more and more interesting.

Degan is very confident, but the general opinion of the outside world is unanimously optimistic that the German chariot will enter the semi-finals. The reasons they gave are also very good. First of all, the Germans have always had the habit of slowing down in the competition, and their tough nerves are enough. Let them face any challenge. Secondly, there are too many young players in the Belgian team, and among the starting eleven players, young players account for more than half. The lack of experience will become an irreparable disadvantage, even for Degan. At the current position, he has not had the experience of appearing in the European Cup, and the same experience is zero.

For the unanimous bad-mouthing from the outside world, Degan responded immediately: "Football is not a math problem, nor is it as simple as one plus one equals two. If you can analyze the final result just by calculating, then There is no need to play a game at all, just send the Delaunay Cup to the Germans, the result of the game will appear in 90 minutes, and you people will definitely be surprised by then!"

Degan's self-confidence seems unreasonable, but people dare not refute it. Facts have proved that every time people look down on Degan, they can only slap themselves in the face in the end.

Now that Digan has said so, let's just wait for the final result.

But people are looking forward to seeing Digan's unlucky appearance, because he is already proud enough. If he wins the Triple Crown this season, if he really wins the Delaunay Cup, I am afraid that no one can really stop him. Crowned the crown of the champion.

In the big battle between Belgium and Germany, people still need to wait patiently for a while. The first battle in the quarter-finals has already ignited the flames of war. As the two biggest dark horses in this European Cup, they will start a contest face to face. Croatia, Turkey, who can be black to the end, will soon see the outcome.
