Chapter 168 European Red Devils Collection
After the list was confirmed, Antiennis reported it to the Belgian Football Association as soon as possible. At this time, there are only two weeks left before the opening match of the European Cup. Next, the Belgian team has to practice together and play two warm-up matches at the same time, which can no longer be delayed.
After reporting to UEFA, the Belgian Football Association held a press conference and announced the list of 23 people participating in the European Cup. As predicted by Digan and Antienis, as soon as the list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.
The only eight players who have participated in the 2006 World Cup were goalkeeper Proto, defender Hoykens, Compani, Van Bitten, midfielder Gul, Simmons, Buffer and striker Digan. The other members are young balls emerged after the European Cup qualifiers and Antienes announced the blood change. Member.
Although people are also very optimistic about the potential of some players in this list, it is not certain to say that they really have confidence in them. There is also a saying in China that "the mouth is hairless and the work is not solid". These young people can withstand the test of such a European Cup, and now everything seems to be unknown. .
And such a large area of replacement of players, especially some meritorious players who have qualified for the Belgian national team and made great contributions, have been removed from the national team's list, which is somewhat uninciable.
Antienis explained this: "Belgian football must make changes if it wants to develop. The players who participated in the 2006 World Cup in Germany before are indeed excellent, but most of them are really old. I'm not doubting their competitive status. However, Belgian football is indeed time to change, and we need to train more excellent young players like Degan and Compani for the national team!"
Andiernis's words are basically a conclusion for those meritorious players. Belgian football thanks them for their past achievements, but from now on, Belgian football continues to move forward and no longer needs them.
These words seem ruthless, but they are all telling the truth.
When the list was announced, the old players who lost the election were naturally disheartened, and some people couldn't help complaining during the interview, and the players who were selected for the list were more excited and more unbelievable.
Especially England, the last to be confirmed. After the end of this season, he has returned to Belgium and went to his hometown in Indonesia for a vacation with his family. Although he has been selected for the national team and has played in the national team before, whether it is the European Cup or the Olympic Games. It's too far away for him.
But what surprised him was that as soon as he arrived in Bali, he received a call-up order from the Belgian Football Association. He was selected to the Belgian Olympic team and participated in the Olympic Games held in China in August, which made England very excited.
Then, something unexpected happened to England. He had just returned to Belgium, arrived at the training ground of the national Olympic team, and received another call-up order. He was recruited to the Belgian national team and needed to go to Geneva, Switzerland immediately to participate in the team's preparation.
"This~~~~~~~~"
Na England was completely stunned by this fact. He never thought that such a good thing would fall on him. You should know that even the Belgian football player Van der Hagrid could not be selected in this national team's list, and there would be his name.
"Coach, I can't believe it's true!" England felt very lucky to be included in the national Olympic team's training list, and he didn't even dare to think about the national team.
De Sartre, the head coach of the Belgian Olympic team, is also a little strange. In this training list, he has avoided many members who may be selected for the national team, such as Fellaini, Dembélé, Martens, Wiltongen, Vermaren and others, but now even England has been selected.
Radga! This is a good thing. We are all happy for you. You have this strength and work hard in Switzerland!"
De Sart said such unnutritious words, but he didn't even believe it himself, because he called England this time, just because most of the main forces in the national Olympic team were selected, lacked manpower, and there was no way to carry out the training, so he let England come to make up the number.
And England has been selected for the national team before, and Desart also wants to see what kind of strength the players who can be favored by the national team are.
Speaking of which, England's physical fitness is average. Although the pass is good and the defensive awareness is remarkable, there are too many players like Belgium and it is not worth looking forward to.
Most importantly, England plays in Serie B and is not even the main player. Does such a player really have the strength of the national team?
De Sartre is skeptical!
However, the convocation order of the national team is not fake. After packing up, England immediately took a plane to Geneva, Switzerland.
Because of the twists and turns, England was the last one to arrive. When he arrived, the other players of the team had begun to train. Among these players, the only one familiar with England was Wiltonheng. The two had tried together in Ajax before, but in the end, Wiltonheng got With the contract provided by the Dutch Giants, England can only move to the Italian League and look for opportunities.
The first thing England did was naturally to report to head coach Antiennis and explain the reason for his late arrival. Antiennis didn't say anything, but just asked him to change his equipment immediately and start training with the team.
Nowadays, this Belgian national team is obviously much younger than the team that participated in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Most of the players in the team are in their early 20s, and it is not easy to create estrangement from each other. England is usually quiet and suddenly integrated into a new group. It's not easy for him.
And the strength of England and the achievements made so far are simply different from those of their teammates. At present, the number one star in the Belgian national team is undoubtedly Degan. In addition, Compani, the main central defender of the Triple Crown Fiorentina, plays for Van Bitten of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. As for his old friend Wilton Heng, he now needs to look up to.
In the first group confrontation training, England was placed on the substitute side. His partner was Martens, the captain of the Belgian national Olympic team, but in the face of the offensive line composed of Degan and Dembélé, his performance was simply a disaster.
When he first joined the team, England's start was not ideal, and after training, he also seemed very frustrated.
After the players left, Antienis called Degan to the side: "Rod! Radga seems to be difficult to integrate into this group!"
Digan also saw it and laughed, "Do you mean you want me to help him?"
Andiernis said, "Of course, you are the captain of the team, and this is your job!"
Degan shook his head and said, "No! I won't go. I'm the captain of the team, but I'm not the nanny of the team. At least before the group stage is over, they can only solve any problems by themselves. I can't help them! Therefore, he can only find a solution to the problems in England!"
In fact, Degan has been tired of the role of the team's nanny. Not only the national team, but also the club, so the whole team disbanded in Florence. When Prandelli hoped that he could participate in the team's transfer next season, Degan refused this time, not that he didn't want to do it for Florence. Sa cultivates more new forces, but he doesn't know where there are dusty pearls. Maybe there are, but those talented teenagers have long been treasured by the team like treasures. If they want to get them, it will cost a lot of money. It is obviously impossible to pick up leaks as before.
Antienes' attitude towards Degan was obviously a little surprised. In the past, Degan wanted to participate in everything, and it turned out that every opinion of Degan was correct. Is Degan disappointed in England?
But think about it, when the group confrontation just now, England's performance was really not good, even bad. For the performance of the people he fully recommended, Degan's opinions are inevitable.
It's just that if the captain Degan doesn't come forward to help England integrate into the team, who else can?
Anthiernis suddenly had an idea, looked at the back of Degan leaving, and suddenly smiled.
Degan can't do it. Isn't there vice captain Gul?
Although Degan is the captain of the team, he is the core, the star and the spiritual leader, but when it comes to the locker room, the most prestigious one is Gul, the old captain.
And Gul and Na England are in the same position. If Gul helps Na England, it should be the most suitable candidate.
Gur didn't expect Antienes to give him such a task. In the past, Degan was responsible for these things, but he did not refuse: "Don't worry! Coach, I can do it well.
On the second day of training, during the group confrontation, Gul was also placed on the substitute side by Antiennis, and then such a scene appeared on the court.
Gur kept shouting at Na England, reprimanding and encouraging him. In Simmons' words, Gul simply wanted to stuff Na England into the stroller.
After the training, Antietis also called Na England and Gul in front of him.
Radga! From today on, you will learn from Gul and learn everything you think he needs!"
Na England naturally has no problem with Antienes' arrangement. In the team, with Gul covering him, his life will be much better.
"Yes! Coach! I will learn from the captain!" There is a kind of introverted personality unique to Asians in England.
"Very good! Gul! The next thing is up to you!" Antienis patted Gul on the shoulder with a smile and turned away.
Gul's first lesson to England was to practice. When other teammates went to rest, Gul's roar still resounded on the training ground.
"That boy has suffered!" Compani gloated.
Digan looked at the training ground and said, "If that boy wants to have some effect on us, of course he will work a little harder for the next few days!"
Generally, Digan is very satisfied with these two days of training, especially Fellaini and Dembélé, who have shown a very high competitive state. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely get a place in the main lineup.
And Vermaren, as Compani's new partner, is also trustworthy. No wonder Wenger is so optimistic about him. Before the end of last season, he began to contact Ajax, hoping to introduce him to the Gunners.
In addition, Miralas has shown a good level. In the group stage, Belgium is likely to play single striker tactics. Behind the single striker is Dembélé. Miraras has strong tactical execution ability and is good at making balls for teammates. With such a fulcrum in the front, Belgium's attack can also become more Add it smoothly.
After several discussions with Antienis, the main lineup of the team's group stage gradually emerged. In the next ten days, the team will play two friendly matches with Sweden and Macedonia, and then the group stage.
If you play well, then hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine, Degan will continue to stay on the altar and enjoy the incense offering of Belgian fans, but once it is ruined in the European Cup, not only Antiennis will be unlucky. These new players who have entered the Belgian national team will have a hard time, and I'm afraid that Degan will also face it. Blaming.
A player who has lost the election has revealed to the media that in the Belgian national team, the real decision is Degan. He can definitely train on the list and even influence Antienis's platoon.
Although Antiennis denied this matter in front of reporters, Degan has obviously been portrayed as a ball bully.
However, the bully is better. Anyway, Degan doesn't care, but once the Belgian team returns in the European Cup, he is likely to become the cancer of Belgian football.
This is what Degan doesn't want to bear, so compared with Antiennis, Degan gives higher expectations to these players.
It will soon be time to test the success of this team. Viking Sweden, this warm-up match was supposed to be cancelled, because once both teams successfully break out of the group, they are likely to meet in the quarterfinals, but Swedish star Ibrasimovic insists that this game can only be played. As scheduled, Digan could guess what Ibrahimovic was thinking with his toes.
