Chapter 172 The End of Helpless

The match between Belgium and Turkey has attracted a lot of attention, because the Czech Republic defeated the host Switzerland before, so the hope for the Swiss team is very slim. The result of the match between Belgium and Turkey will be directly related to the qualifying situation in Group A.

Although Digan could not appear on the court because of the suspension, he still sat in the stands and watched the game with the staff of the Belgian Football Association.

At the beginning of the game, the Belgian team controlled the situation. On the back line, Compani, Wilmaren and Van Bitten formed a copper wall in front of the penalty area. Turkey's most threatening front line player Nihat was completely targeted by Compani, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Belgium's goal.

In addition, Fellaini swept back and forth in the midfield. 15 minutes before the game, it was difficult for the Turkish team to organize an effective attack and could only seek a chance to break through long-range shots.

The most surprising thing is that Bayley replaced Proto's main goalkeeper in this game. Although Degan knows that Bayley's future football career is not going well, at present, his level is still very high in front of the goal, making it difficult for Turkey's long-range shot to be effective.

Belgium does a good job on the defensive end, but the offensive side is the same as Turkey. It is difficult to make a difference. Miralas works very hard, but compared with Degan, his level is obviously much worse. More often, Belgium can only rely on Dembélé's personal breakthroughs to find opportunities.

If the situation can't be opened in the front court, Antiennis has no choice but to let the team recover and stabilize the defense first. Before the game, he discussed with Degan that he can get a point in this game, even if it is to complete the task.

But if you can take Turkey, it will naturally be the best result.

Digan is also secretly anxious in the stands. Now it seems that the Belgian team controls the rhythm of the game, but the Turkish side is still not in a hurry, and Digan will not naively think that Trim has such a little ability. The old man absolutely hides the back move, and the Turkish team must be hidden behind the calm. Conspiracy.

But before Turkey's conspiracy came out, Belgium scored!

Fellaini stole from the midfield and made a long pass. Miralas returned to the top of the penalty area line and hung five gears of dembélé directly on his feet. He rushed forward like crazy and shot low, and caught the Turkish goalkeeper off guard.

Belgium is in the lead!?

Digan also looked at it inexplicably. The ball just now was not an absolute opportunity. When Miralas competed for the top, there were two Turkish defenders around him, who really let Miralas hit it, and then there was a long shot from outside the penalty area.

What is this?

Show weakness to the enemy?

But there is no such way to show weakness!?

Luck?

It seems that it can only be explained in this way. First of all, although Fellaini's ability is good, he absolutely does not have the ability to make a long pass directly from the backcourt and find his teammates in the front court. Then when Miralas competed for the top, in fact, he did not have a top position, but rubbed his head, and then Dembélé's long-range shot also met Tuer. The foot of its defensive player has changed the line.

All right!

Anyway, even if it is luck, Belgium has scored a goal, which is always good news. As long as this score can be maintained until the end of the game, Turkey, which lost the goal, can only choose to die in the next two games, so that Belgium will be easy.

Debel, who scored, was very excited. This was the first goal he scored for the national team in the official game. Coupled with the doubts before the game, at this moment, he seemed to have found a way to vent, roared and rushed to the camera on the sidelines, and then lifted his jersey up, revealing a line of words inside.

Captain! We are waiting for you!

The big screen on the scene gave this close-up, and Digan couldn't help but be moved. He suddenly felt like Haji in Romania in the 2000 European Cup. At that time, Haji was also suspended. As a result, in the last round of the group stage, Romania was not favored by people all over the world. England was eliminated, giving Haji the last chance to play for the national team.

It's not just Dembélé, but many Belgian players on the court rushed to the bottom of Degan's stands and shouted Degan's name together.

They all know very well that they can be selected into the national team and represent the country. Thanks to Degan's recommendation, otherwise, even if these young people are strong, if they want to appear on a big stage like the European Cup, they'd better wait!

In addition to being moved, Digan suddenly found a detail. Trim, the head coach of the Turkish team, walked to the side and called Nihat to his side. He was mysterious and didn't know what he was talking about.

In the next game, Degan soon found the problem and was originally standing in Hakan. Nihat behind Souk suddenly moved to the left road, and Big Altentop replaced Nihat's position. Turan's position appeared on the right road. The midfield, which was originally a parallel position, suddenly turned into a pentagon.

After moving to the side road, Nihat's characteristics of good technology, fast speed and strong impact ability were suddenly brought into play. Although he failed to cross the top of Compani's head several consecutive side passes, it also shocked the Belgians into a cold sweat.

and Nihat are facing Lombaltz. His offensive ability is not weak, but under the impact of Nihat, the defense has become a short board.

Under the continuous side impact of the Turkish team, Belgium's original strong defense line also began to appear loopholes. Near the end of the first half, Nihat's side raid, suddenly cut inside and passed it across to Altentop, who faked a real pass and sent the ball to Hakan. At Suke's feet, fortunately, Compani took his foot decisively in time and poked the ball out. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous.

Although Belgium was still1-0 in the first half, the Belgian team took the lead, but in the last 20 minutes, Turkey was basically controlling the rhythm of the game, and the Belgian players were obviously a little panicked.

In the locker room, Antiennis kept emphasizing some problems that the team had in the first half, and then Digan mobilized again. Unfortunately, after the start of the second half, only five minutes later, the Turkish team scored, and it was Nihat.

Nihat, who had been transferred to the side road, suddenly appeared directly in front of the penalty area and received Hakan. Suke's return pass directly shot through the net, and the scoring routine was the same as Dembélé's goal in the first half.

The score was equalized, and the young shortcomings of the Belgian team began to emerge. The lack of a leader who could control these young people on the court, and the Belgian team became more and more impatient.

This game is the first time that most young people on the field have participated in an international competition. They are all trying to take down Turkey's hard bone.

However, the more impatient it is, the more counterproductive it is. Youth represents instability. After the first 25 minutes of the first half, I'm afraid that no one can deny the strength of these young people, but when they are impatient and unable to attack for a long time, they begin to deny themselves.

What should I do?

This question mark is drawn in the mind of every Belgian player.

In the 65th minute of the second half, greater trouble appeared. Fellaini put down Nihart behind his back and was sent off by the referee directly with a red card. Originally, he did not have an advantage in the scene, but now he plays one less. It can be said that Belgium has no hope of winning this game.

In the next game, Belgium withdrew its defense, hoping to hold this point, but the Turkish team did not want to give the Belgian team a chance to breathe. With its numerical advantage, it launched a wave of strong offensive against Belgium's penalty area.

Although the Belgian team is very tenacious, it has a disadvantage in numbers, not to mention the lack of Fellaini, a midfield iron gate. Naturally, the defense line cannot be as stable as before.

Finally, in the 78th minute of the game, the Turkish team overtook the score, and it was Nihat and Hakan who scored. Suk's shot was blocked by Baili. Nihat grabbed the front of Wilmaren and shot the ball in.

When they took the lead, the Belgian team wanted to win the game. After being equalized, they thought that one point was acceptable. Now that the score was overtaken, Antiennis hesitated again.

The whole line counterattack and strives to equalize the score, but what if there is a loophole in the defense line and another goal is scored by the opponent?

You know, this is a single-cycle group stage. It is possible that after the end of three games, a goal difference will definitely qualify.

Antiennis was in a dilemma, but Turkey took advantage of this momentum to attack and strive for more goal difference. Antiennis understood the truth, and Trim naturally knew it better.

But good thing, in the end, the Belgian team resisted the pressure and the score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

The failure at the beginning obviously made it difficult for Belgian fans to be satisfied with such a result. After the game, head coach Antiennis was also besieged by reporters from Belgium at a press conference.

When he lost the game, Antienes was naturally disappointed, but in the face of accusations, he showed a tough side: "I did lose the game, but I also saw the positive side in this game. The young people on the court performed very well. They showed their due strength. Losing is My responsibility, in the on-the-spot command, I made a mistake. When I was in the lead, I was a little conservative. After being overtaken, I missed the opportunity to fight back, so losing is not the responsibility of the players. If you have to take responsibility, I will bear the brunt bear the brunt!"
