Chapter 22 Clear

Degan's reckless attack caused an uproar in the world football world. There have been conflicts between players and coaches in international football before, but this time, Degan is obviously more intense than anyone else before.

Especially the sentence: "Wilmots will only completely destroy the foundation that Belgian football has built so hard!"

As soon as this sentence is said, basically Degan and Wilmots are at odds.

Wilmots also made a counterattack immediately: "What he said is not true at all. I am very disappointed with Degan's remarks. He is the captain of the national team. What he should do is to assist me in my work." , instead of playing the role of a black sheep, I can understand his thoughts, he wants to be the king of Belgian football, hope that in the national team, everything is up to him, but I told him, this is impossible, Because I am the head coach of the Belgian national team, here, only I can have the final say, I don't want to be anyone's puppet!"

Wilmots' remarks made many Belgian fans start to lean towards him. After all, Wilmots is the head coach of the team. The banner figure, the prestige among the fans is still very high.

After complaining in front of the media, Wilmots immediately found the chairman of the Belgian Football Association, Korsmike, hoping to get the support of the Football Association.

This time, Cols Mike did not firmly stand on Degan's side, as Wilmots said, it was indeed time to teach Degan a lesson.

Before, Degan felt to Korsmike that he did not pay attention to the Belgian Football Association, especially after winning the World Cup. Originally, the Belgian Football Association arranged a lot of celebrations, but Degan, the captain, left early. My friends went to South Korea together, which made the leaders of the Football Association very dissatisfied.

What's more, this time, even if Degan has an opinion on Wilmots, he can solve it in other more correct ways. As a result, Degan made a speech without any communication with the Football Association, criticizing the team's initiative. Coach, this is absolutely intolerable.

As a result, on the second day after Degan broke out, the Belgian Football Association quickly held a press conference. At the press conference, Wilmots, as the winner, triumphantly announced to all reporters that Degan would be expelled from Belgium. national team.

This decision surprised the reporters present. In the past five years, Diganke has always been the most unshakable core and leader of Belgian football.

Now it's right to expel Digan!

Degan was expelled from the Belgian national team. This news was thrown into the international football world like a blockbuster. It was a hundred times more explosive than Degan's criticism of Wilmots before.

Who is Digan?

That is a symbol of Belgian football, and it can even be said that it can never be surpassed in the history of Belgian football. If there is no Degan, perhaps Belgian football is obviously still at a low level? Struggling in the trough.

Since joining the Belgian national team in 2005, Degan has played in three international competitions. Among them, in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he played with an injury and led Belgium to a good runner-up result. In the subsequent European Cup in 2008, Degan even more He led the team all the way through, defeated the invincible Spain and finally won the cup. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Degan was the captain, took home the Hercules Cup for Belgium, and was crowned the title of world champion in one fell swoop.

But now, Digan has been expelled from the national team!

Almost immediately, Antiiennis, the former head coach of the Belgian national team, criticized Wilmots' approach in an interview: "Although Rhodes' remarks are a bit extreme, I believe he did it for his own sake. Belgian football is good, what Wilmots did is really stupid. Degan has been the symbol of Belgian football for the past five years, and now he wants to exclude the best Belgian players from the national team outside."

In this regard, Wilmots immediately responded: "I am not Antiiennis. In my team, I must make some rules. Here, I am the boss of the team. No one can override me." I will not survive as a puppet like Antiiennis, handing over the rights of the team to an inexperienced player, that would be ridiculous!"

The fans even rallied together to protest against Wilmots' actions and demanded that the Football Association withdraw this decision, but at this time, Degan had left Brussels and returned to Barcelona.

At the airport, Degan accepted a brief interview with reporters: "I respect his decision. Since he thinks that I am useless to the Belgian national team, I will leave immediately, but I still have to say that Wilmots is very important to Belgian football. The so-called tactical reform is simply a crime. He is destroying the proud foundation of the European Red Devils. I don't want to make any comments on him now. In short, he is the worst coach I have ever met!"

Degan is gone, another star in international football who was expelled from the national team because of conflicts with the head coach. In fact, people like Degan were really uncommon in the past.

The most famous one is that the Manchester United superstar Cantona was once the captain of the French national team. However, although this famous "bad boy" has excellent skills, he paid a heavy price for his own way of personality and became an outcast of the national team.

The reason why Cantona was expelled from the national team is very funny. After a national team game, he threw the jersey in the face of the national team coach Michelle and scolded: "You are the most incompetent coach in the world!"

Michel expelled Cantona from the national team in a rage.

Of course, there is a more romantic saying that, apart from Manchester United, no other team can control this Mustang, including his national team.

And officially after this, the French team opened a new era of frontcourt offense led by Zidane and Djorkaeff.

There is also a man of character who is the "Tiger" Effenberg who has achieved outstanding achievements in the club's career. The excellent Tiger has only experienced the World Cup in 1994, and he ended up in embarrassment due to an accident.

In the German team's 3:2 victory over South Korea in the final match of the group stage, after being replaced by Helmer, Effenberg blatantly raised the middle finger to the fans who insulted him on the sidelines, and had a fight with the then head coach of the German national team. The Vogts fight in the locker room.

This move was infinitely magnified in front of the TV cameras, and the German Football Association had no choice but to make a decision to permanently expel him from the national team. In the end, the German team, the defending champion, was eliminated by Bulgaria in the quarter-finals. Effenberg, who performed well in the European war, has been missed by the German national team.

In fact, after Vogts dismissed get out of class in 1998, the new German coach Ribeck tried to recruit Effenberg into the national team, but he refused. Has always been considered the best midfielder in Germany at the time, but because of a ban, he missed the national team.

The same hot-tempered Roy Keane also had the same experience. In the summer of 2002, the Irish team returned to the World Cup after eight years. Roy Keane, who was at the peak of Manchester United at the time, set off as captain.

However, during the team's preparations, the hot-tempered Keane broke out irreconcilable conflicts with the coach McCarthy. The outspoken Keane even said bluntly: "You are shit when you play football, and you are shit when you are a coach. The only thing I am here to talk to you The reason for wasting time is because you are the coach of my national team, but you are not even an Irishman, you England 2b, I. Fuck you. Damn. "

As soon as such bad words came out, what awaited him was the penalty of expulsion from the team, but the Irish team, which lacked Keane, was united because of this.

In the same World Cup, Slovenia's "ball bully" Zahovic was also expelled. Zahovic had a long-standing conflict with the then coach Katanic. In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, Zahovic was once excluded due to an altercation with the coach. Out of the game with the Czech team.

In the Korean-Japanese World Cup finals, the relationship between the two was ignited like a powder keg. After losing to Spain in the group opener 1:3, Zahovic, who was replaced early, pointed at Catanic and gave him a meal. The scolding, the media even reported that the latter, as the coach, was "screaming and crying", and the spokesperson of the Slovenian team quickly responded, confirming that the top star Zakhovic went home early.

There is also Davis, a famous Surinamese from the Netherlands, who was removed from the first major competition in his career. In the 1996 European Cup, the contradiction between the black and white players in the Dutch team was seriously intensified, and the then coach Guus Hiddink But did not mediate in time.

The humiliated Davis unscrupulously bombarded Hiddink in a subsequent radio program. The two had a quarrel on the training ground the next day, and the 23-year-old Davis was expelled The Dutch team, which had more internal friction, was finally kicked out by the French team in the quarter-finals.

Now, the same thing happened to Degan, and many people responded immediately.

"This is crazy. I know Rhodes, he is not a reckless person." Hamsik, who had been teammates with Degan for a long time, naturally wanted to support his old captain, "I and Rhodes Worked together for many years, he is definitely not as rude as most people think, I think coach Prandelli can testify, I think Wilmots must be crazy, how can he do this, but this way , maybe the next game will be much easier for us!"

In the qualifiers for next year's European Cup, Belgium and Slovakia were divided into the same group. In the first match between the two teams, Belgium swept Slovakia 5:0. Gan, Slovakia is obviously much easier.

Immediately afterwards, Prandelli, the head coach of the Italian team, also stood up to speak for his beloved apprentice: "Rhode is not a person who knows nothing and has no experience. In fact, we worked out the tactics of Florence at the beginning." Yes, he has a lot of ideas. Perhaps this time, Rhodes just wanted to express his opinion, but was rejected by Coach Wilmots, but even so, it would be too much to expel Rhodes from the national team. Crazy!"

Back in Spain, Zahavi rushed to Digan's home immediately. When we met, Zahavi's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help complaining: "Rod! Now we are really going to be in trouble !"

Indeed, as Zahavi said, Digan offended Guardiola at the club, and Wilmots was removed from the national team. The situation that was not bad at first suddenly turned into a desperate situation.

Deegan didn't seem to regret it at all, though: "Are you trying to make me compromise? Let that idiot reform, damn it! Is that reform? He just fucked up and ruined Belgium !"

Zahavi also doesn't want to argue with Degan about these things. The most important thing now is what to do to get Degan back on the court. Don't think about it on the national team. It is estimated that if Wilmots does not step down, Degan's national team career is likely to come to an end.

On the club side, although Guardiola did not expressly say that he would abandon Degan, looking at Guardiola's attitude, he is obviously very dissatisfied with Degan, especially the fact that he left the team without authorization and went to South Korea before, which made Guardiola very surprised. Annoyed.

"Rod! I don't want to blame you for anything, but this time, we are really in trouble, and it's still big trouble!"

Zahavi said with a wry smile on his face. In this world, there are still people who would abandon a super player like Digan, no! Is the king of the ball.

But Barcelona has such capital, because even if they throw Degan aside, they still have Messi, Harvey, and Iniesta, and without the competitor of Degan, Barcelona is also confident in the future. Achieved a leapfrog breakthrough in the UEFA Champions League.

What to do next?

Should we continue to wait as we discussed in South Korea before?

Zahavi understands Digan's rock-like character, and he will never leave before he succeeds, just like AC Milan, he also left calmly after winning the Champions League trophy.

But the biggest problem now is that in Guardiola's eyes there is only Messi, and there is no place for Digan at all, and what worries Zahavi even more is that it is currently in the winter break, and it seems that Barcelona is already looking for a place for him. There is a new striker, this is clearly planning to completely abandon Digan's rhythm!

Just half a year ago, Degan had just been crowned the world champion, but after such a short time, Degan stepped into the lowest point of his life.
