Chapter 22 Clear

Degan's completely reckless and reckless criticism made the world football scene suddenly cause an uproar. There have been conflicts between players and head coaches in international football before, but this time, Degan is obviously more intense than anyone else in the past.

Especially that sentence: "Wilmots will only completely destroy the hard-won foundation of Belgian football!"

When this sentence is said, Degan and Wilmot are basically two-to-one.

Wilmods also fought back at the first time: "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 my work, not play the role of a black sheep. I can understand his idea. He wants to be Billy. The king of football hopes that everything will be decided by him in the national team, but I told him that it 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 play anyone's puppet!"

Wilmots's remarks made many Belgian fans begin to turn to his side. After all, Wilmots is the head coach of the team. Even if he does not have convincing coaching experience, he was once a banner of Belgian football and has a high prestige among fans.

After complaining in front of the media, Wilmot immediately found Coles Mike, the president of the Belgian Football Association, hoping to get the support of the Football Association.

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

Before, Degan gave Coles Mike the feeling that he really didn't pay attention to the Belgian Football Association, especially after winning the World Cup, the Belgian Football Association originally arranged a lot of celebrations, but as a result, Degan, the captain, left early and went to South Korea with his girlfriend, which made the bigwigs of the Football Association very reluctant. Satisfaction.

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 remarks without permission and attacked the team's head coach without communicating with the Football Association, which is absolutely intolerable.

The day after the outbreak of Degan, the Belgian Football Association quickly held a press conference. At the press conference, Wilmot, as the winner, proudly announced to all reporters that Digan would be expelled from the Belgian national team.

This decision surprised the reporters present. For more than five years, Degan has been the most unshakable core and leader of Belgian football.

Now it's right to expel Degan!

The news that Degan was expelled from the Belgian national team was like a blockbuster and thrown into international football, which was 100 times more powerful than Degan's previous criticism of Wilmots.

Who is Degan?

That is the symbol of Belgian football, or even the existence that can never be surpassed in the history of Belgian football. Without Degan, maybe Belgian football is obviously still struggling in the trough.

Since joining the Belgian national team in 2005, Degan has competed in three international competitions. Among them, he played in the 2006 World Cup in Germany with injuries and led Belgium to get the runner-up. Later, in the 2008 European Cup, Degan led the team all the way through and defeated the invincible Spain finally won the cup. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Degan, as the captain, won back the Hercules Cup for Belgium and crowned the title of world's champion.

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

Almost at the first time, Antiennis, the former head coach of the Belgian national team, criticized Wilmot's approach in an interview: "Although Rod's remarks are a little too radical, I believe he is good for Belgian football. Wilmot's approach is really stupid in the past. For five years, Degan has been a symbol of Belgian football, but now he wants to exclude Belgium's best players from the national team.

Wilmots immediately responded: "I'm not Antiennis. In my team, I have to make some rules. Here, I am the boss of the team. No one can overtake me, and I will not survive as a puppet and take the team's rights like Antiennis. It's ridiculous to give it to an inexperienced player!"

Fans raised a group of bears and unanimously protested Wilmot's approach and asked the Football Association to withdraw the decision, but by this time, Degan had left Brussels and returned to Barcelona.

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

Degan left, and another star in international football was expelled from the national team because of a conflict with the head coach. In fact, it was really rare for people like Degan in the past.

One of the most famous is that Manchester United superstar Cantona used to be the captain of the French national team, but although this famous "bad boy" has excellent ball skills, he has paid a painful price for his selfish personality and became an outcast of the national team.

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

Michelle expelled Cantona from the national team in anger.

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

And officially after that, the French team opened a new era of front-court attacks led by Zidane and Djokov.

There is also a man who is a "tiger" Effenberg, who has made outstanding achievements in his club career, but the excellent tiger has only had the experience of the 1994 World Cup and ended up in an unexpected event.

In the German team's group stage match with a 3:2 victory over South Korea, Effinger openly raised his middle finger at the fans who insulted him on the sidelines after being replaced by Heilmer, and fought with the then German national team coach Voggets in the locker room.

This move was infinitely magnified in front of the TV camera, and the German Football Association had to make a decision to permanently expel it from the national team. Finally, the German team, as the defending champion, was eliminated by Bulgaria in the quarter-finals. Since then, Effenborg, who has performed well in the league and Europe, has been out of the German national team.

In fact, after Vogelz's class in 1998, the new German coach Riebeck tried to recruit Effinger to the national team, but was rejected by him. This star, Bayern, who made great achievements in the league and the Champions Cup, has always been regarded as the best in Germany at that time. General, but because of a ban, he missed the national team.

Roy, who is also hot-tempered. Keane had the same experience. In the summer of 2002, Ireland returned to the World Cup after eight years, when Roy was at the peak of Manchester United. Keane went out as the captain.

However, during the team's preparation, the hot-tempered Keane broke out an irreconcilable conflict with coach McCarthy. Keane even said bluntly: "You play football is shit, and being a coach is also shit. The only reason I wasted time with you here is because you are my national team coach, but you are even Ireland. No one is, you England 2B, I. Dry. You. Mother. Of."

As soon as such a bad word came out, it was natural for him to be expelled from the team, while the Irish team, which lacked Keane, became united as a result. After the group qualified, it was dragged with Spain until a penalty shootout before being eliminated.

In the same World Cup, Slovenia's "ball bully" Zakhovic was also expelled. Zahovic's conflict with the then coach Katanic has a long history. In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, Zahovic was excluded from the match with the Czech team because of quarreling with the coach.

In the finals of the World Cup between South Korea and Japan, the relationship between the two was ignited like a gunpowder barrel. After losing to Spain in the first game of the group 1:3, Zakhovic, who was replaced early, pointed to Katanic and scolded him. The media even reported that the latter, who was the main coach, was "cured and cried", while the Slovenian team's The spokesperson quickly responded and confirmed that the number one star Zahovic went home early.

There is also Davis, a famous Dutch Surinamese, who also caused a ousting disturbance in his first competition of his career. During the 1996 European Cup, the conflict between black and white players in the Dutch team was seriously intensified, while the then coach Hiddink did not mediate in time.

Davis, who felt humiliated, bombarded Hiddink without hesitation in a subsequent radio program. The next day, the two quarreled on the training ground. 23-year-old Davis was also expelled from the team, and the exhausted Dutch team was finally kicked out by the French team in the quarter-finals.

Now, the same thing happened to Degan, and many people responded to it at the first time.

"This is crazy. I know Rod. He is not a reckless person." Hamsik, who has been a teammate with Degan for a long time, naturally has to support his old captain. "Rod and I have cooperated for many years, and 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 in this way, Maybe we will be much easier in the next game!"

In the qualifiers of next year's European Cup, Belgium and Slovakia were divided into the same group. In the first competition between the two teams, Belgium swept Slovakia 5:0, and Degan staged a big four in the game. Now without Degan, Slovakia is obviously much easier.

Then, the head coach of the Italian team, Prandelli, also stood up to speak for his lover: "Rode is not an inexperienced person who knows nothing. In fact, Florence's tactics were formulated together. He has a lot of ideas, maybe this time. Rod just wanted to express his opinion, but was rejected by Coach Wilmot, but even so, it was too crazy to expel Rod from the national team!"

Returning to Spain, Zahavi rushed to Degan's home at the first time. When they met, Zahavi looked very ugly and couldn't help complaining, "Rod! Now we are really in trouble!"

Indeed, as Zahavi said, Digan offended Guardiola in the club and Wilmots was expelled from the national team. The situation, which was not bad, suddenly turned into a desperate situation.

However, Degan doesn't seem to regret at all: "Do you want me to compromise? Let that idiot reform randomly, damn it! Is that also a reform? He just messed up and completely destroyed Belgium!"

Zahavi doesn't want to argue with Degan about these things. Now the most important thing is what to do to get Degan back to the court. Don't think about it. I guess if Wilmots doesn't step down, Degan's national team career is likely to come to an end.

Although Guardiola did not explicitly say that he would abandon Digan, looking at Guardiola's attitude, he was obviously very dissatisfied with Digan, especially the fact that he left the team and went to South Korea without authorization, which made Guardiola very angry.

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

Zahavi said with a wry smile on his face. In this world, there are still people who will abandon super players like Degan, no! It's the king of football.

But Barcelona has such capital, because even if they throw Degan aside, there are also Messi, Harvey, and Iniesta, and without Degan as a competitor, Barcelona is also confident to achieve a leapfrog breakthrough in the Champions League.

What should I do next?

Do you continue to wait as discussed in South Korea before?

Zahavi knows the stone-like character of Degan. He will never leave until 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 Degan at all, and what worries Zahavi more is that he is currently in the winter break. It seems that Barcelona is already looking for a new striker, which clearly intends to completely abandon the rhythm of Degan!

Just six months ago, Degan had just been crowned the world's champion, but after such a short time, Degan stepped into the lowest valley of his life.
