At the same time, in the standings, Fiorentina is also a ride, with five wins and 15 points, ranking first. The second place is Inter Milan with three wins and two draws in five games, 11 points, 10 points, Juventus 10 points, and Juventus. As for AC Milan, with one win, two draws and two losses, has basically withdrawn from the championship competition.

After the end of the fifth round, world football will enter a new national team competition week, and the European Cup qualifiers will dissipate. The next nearly a year will be used to warm up the teams that have advanced to the European Cup.

After communicating with Antiennis, Digan's name was not included in the list of the new Belgian national team, because when playing against Portugal, Pepe and Degan suffered three suspensions. These three suspensions are aimed at the European Cup. Like the previous warm-up match, Digan naturally There is no need to participate, but leave the opportunity for those young people to familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the national team.

Brussel, Belgium.

"God! You won't really make a decision!" François, the assistant coach of the Belgian national team, has an incredible face.

Antiennis held his shoulder and said for a long time, "Yes! Old friend, I have decided!"

François frowned slightly: "As a friend, I must remind you that you are simply risking your future, and what do you think will happen once this list is published?"

Of course, Antienis thought of it, but he still intends to do so. Degan is right. If Belgian football wants to develop and achieve good results in the European Cup, it must make changes to let young people enter the national team and replenish fresh blood for the national team, instead of always playing with those veterans.

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared. If this list makes some people dissatisfied, I'm willing to take all the responsibility."

Antiennis seemed very stubborn, but in fact, he hesitated for a long time when determining the final list. After all, the players he excluded from the list were all famous Belgian football players and meritorious players who had made great contributions to Belgian football at the 2006 World Cup. .

Before finalizing the list, Antiennis also had a phone call with Degan, and finally Degan's words helped him strengthen his confidence.

"If the goal of Belgian football in next year's European Cup is only to achieve good results, relying on those former players, as long as the group can appear, I can at least guarantee to reach the top four, but the top four is not our ultimate goal. We should look more far and never use young people. 2010 What about the World Cup in South Africa? Coach! I'm just one of the eleven people on the court. I'm not omnipotent. I can't play the savior of the team every game. One day my magic will gradually disappear. Who will Belgian football rely on? There can't be only one Rodrigo in Belgian football. Izeson. Santos. Wright! There are many Thomas that you should rely on. Vermaren!"

"Franois! You don't have to persuade me anymore. This is my decision. It won't be changed again. We must plan for the future of Belgian football! Now that these young people are in use, we still have time to wait until next year's European Cup. If we hesitate, Vincent will appear again. We will only be caught off guard by things like Compani, which is fatal!"

François was silent. He knew that Antienes made sense, just like the previous life-and-death battle with Portugal. If it hadn't been for Degan's recommendation of Vermaren at the critical moment, could Belgium, which lacked a sea needle like Compani on the defensive line, defeat the powerful Portugal on the road and grab one? What about the promotion quota?

"Okay! You are right! However, have you figured out how to explain it to those old players? Maybe you will have a bad reputation!"

A bad reputation?

It's nothing more than crossing the river and tearing down bridges, unloading and killing donkeys, flying birds, hiding good bows, cunning rabbits dying, and cooking by running dogs!

Of course, Antienis is not a fan of Chinese culture. He can't figure out these philosophical words, but he can still guess what responsibility he will be responsible for once this list is published.

"It doesn't matter, the facts will prove everything!"

François looked at Antiennis' confident look and smiled, "You just believe in Rod!"

François knows that the young people on this list are recommended by Degan. In the Belgian football circle, no one but Degan will have such courage.

Antienis nodded with a smile: "Yes! Francois, I have confidence in Rod. He is not a simple person, and we can't just treat him as a player. At least in terms of the player's vision, we are not as good as him!"

François was stunned and imagined it carefully. It was really like what Antiennis said. Since Degan came to the Belgian national team, the changes have brought about really big. First of all, the contradictions between Flemish and Walloons are gone. When they are on the court, they can always be twisted into a rope and fight together. Secondly, Di The players recommended by Gan also proved their strength and brought fresh blood to Belgian football. Compared with them, the large number of goals brought by Degan seem to have become secondary.

Soon, Antienes announced the members of the new Belgian national team at a press conference:

Glosmen: Proto (Andlecht), Bayley (Gink), Mignolet (Dentret)

Left-backs: Lombarts (Zenit St. Petersburg), Poconioli (Alkmaar)

Right-back: Van Bitten (Bayern Munich), Druer (Rocklen)

Central defenders: Vermalen (Ajax), Vertongen (Ajax), Hoykens (West Bromwich), Vandenbole ( Genoa)

back: Fellaini (Standard Liege), England (Piacenza), Gul (Andrecht)

Avant-garde: Dembélé (Alkmaar), Defour (Standard Ligene), Witseke (Standard Liez), Martens (Alkmaar), Simmons (Ein Hovan), Buffer (Glasgow Wanderers), Hubert (Genke)

Lecture forwards: Miralas (Lille), Bolette (Lance), de Culler (Rocklen), Dred (Hammer)

As soon as the list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in Belgium. Only a few of the old players who had won the second place for Belgian football at the 2006 World Cup in Germany were selected, and the rest of the quotas were changed to some strange names, which even worked effectively for Belgium's second-class. League players.

Is Antiennis crazy?

"Andienis seems to be from Thomas. Vermaren saw the benefits and used some young players who had never even heard of their names. He was simply joking about the future of Belgian football!"

"I can't understand Coach Antienis' selection criteria at all. Most of the old players we are familiar with have been abandoned by him, which is unreasonable and unhumane. After all, the tickets to the European Cup are won by those old players, but now we have to let those young people pick peaches. I can only say that Antienis is right. Those veterans are so cruel!"

Fans can't understand, and so are those old players. As the main forward, Van der Hagel, a veteran who participated in the World Cup in Germany, said disappointedly: "I'm ready to go to Brussels for training, but Coach Antiennis told me that he doesn't need me, an old guy, okay. ! I accept Coach Antienes' choice, but I still want to ask, how can those children take our place!"

The Mponsa brothers also expressed their dissatisfaction. You know, before Degan, they were representatives of Belgian football. They thought they could participate in a European Cup before they retired, but now they have become uncertain.

Mponsa, one of the two brothers, is currently playing for Manchester City in the Premier League. At the age of 29, it can be said that he was also abandoned this time, which made him very dissatisfied.

"In the past few years, I have always been the front line of the Belgian national team, but this time I don't understand why. I have booked a ticket back to China, but now it seems that I'm just a joke. I don't know what Antienis is going to do. I just want to be fair!"

In the face of unanimous questions, Antiennis looked very calm and said in an interview with reporters: "I can understand the disappointment of those old players and the fans' concern for the national team, but what I want to say is that Belgian football needs young people. Our goal is not just next year. European Cup, 2010 World Cup, 2012 European Cup, 2014 World Cup, can those old players still hold on until then?

It is not unreasonable to hear Antiennis say this, but it is too cruel for most people to abandon those old players who have made outstanding contributions to Belgian football so easily.

As the most influential player in Belgian football, although Degan did not participate in this training, a sports program in Belgium sent someone to Florence to have an exclusive interview with Degan, hoping to hear his views on this matter, but unexpectedly, from At the beginning of the interview, Degan broke out a great news.
