Chapter 103 Luck
Compared with the last 15-0 victory over San Marino, this away challenge to the strong enemy Serbia and Herzegovina is the real test for Belgium.
Serbia and Herzegovina are strong. In the seventh group of the World Cup qualifiers, even a strong enemy like Spain were crushed by them. Before the game, the outside world was unanimously not optimistic about Belgium's away trip this time.
The madness of former Yugoslav fans has been famous for a long time in his previous life. From the beginning of his appearance, Belgian players have felt the ubiquitous hostility from the stands. Serbia and black fans kept booing in the stands, interfering with Belgian players as much as possible.
Degan only felt this scene in the second round of the league and Juventus. Although this is a game related to the quota of the World Cup, the madness of the Black fans is simply to render the stadium into a big battlefield.
In this game, Antiennis has the same lineup as the last game. The goalkeeper is still young Proto. The four defenders are Van Bitten, Compani, Van Denbery, Deschart, midfielders Gul, Simmons, Van der Heig, Buffer, and the forward line are Little M Pensa and Degan.
The lineup on the side of Serbia and Herzegovina is that the goalkeeper is Yevrich, Dragutinovic, Vidić, Petkovic defenders on the back line, as well as Djandjevic, midfielder Stankovic, Dujai, Erich, Koloman, double striker Kaizman and veteran Milosevic.
At the beginning of the game, the Serbia and Herzegovina launched a fierce attack on Belgium's goal by virtue of its home advantage, especially that Kaizman was like playing chicken blood, holding his strength to prove to the world whether he can score or not.
The tactics of the Blacks have not changed, and they are still the same set of Yugoslav football. The South is characterized by excellent foot skills on the basis of ensuring physical confrontation ability. In the attack, they will also place more emphasis on overall cooperation than individual breakthrough.
Everyone in later generations said that Serbia and Herzegovina inherited the style of Yugoslav football, while Croatia was a little different. This sentence indeed makes sense, at least now when the Serbia and Herzegovina attacks, it is quite smooth.
Stankovic is the soul of this team. When football is under his feet, it is difficult to be snatched. Stankovic's performance will play, and Serbia and Black's attack will also become smooth.
The Serbia and Black fans in the stands cheered for Stankovic's wonderful performance again and again. Even Digan, as an opponent, watched Stankovic's performance and couldn't help admiring that Stankovic was indeed a top star.
Regarding how to control Stankovic, Antiennis also had a special arrangement before the game, that is, to find someone to keep an eye on him. No matter what he does, he will defend close to him. If he really can't do it, he will foul, and then cut off the relationship between other Serbia and Black players and Stankovic.
Because Stankovic is responsible for the last pass in the offensive system of the Serbia and Herzegovina. As long as his performance can be limited, the game will be much better.
It is the old Belgian captain Gul who is responsible for guarding Stankovic throughout this game. He is very strong and has excellent defensive ability. It is most appropriate to use him against Stankovic.
Although Antiennis also wants to fight football in this game, relying on Digan's excellent personal ability as he did before against San Marino. But he knows very well that if he wants to win, he must first not lose the ball. Only when he catches the defense can he win.
What Belgium needs to do now is to stabilize the defense, wait for the opportunity to fight back, or simply wait until the Black team is tired and the momentum declines, and they will give the Blacks a big surprise.
However, after the game, everything was not as perfect as Antienis imagined. Although there was a strong bodyguard around him, Stankovic's performance was still very eye-catching. He passed the ball in the midfield like a needle and a butterfly.
When the Belgian players' attention was attracted by Stankovic, the Negro Sé suddenly kicked straight, and the football passed through the gap in the Belgian defense line and hit behind the defense line.
There, veteran Milosevic suddenly started, threw away Vandengbery and received the ball.
The Serbia and Herzegovina fans in the stands suddenly made huge cheers, which almost drowned out all the other voices at the scene.
At this time, Kompani gave up Kaizman beside him, suddenly stood in front of Milosevic, and then suddenly fell to the ground to tackle the ball. Milosevic obviously did not expect Kompani's reaction to be so fast. A lost his mind, the football was neatly broken by Kompani, followed by a big foot out of the sideline.
Milosevic also shook his hand with regret, and then erected a big sow at Stankovic, indicating that his pass just now was beautiful.
Although Compani's timely replacement was wonderful, Antiennis was obviously very dissatisfied with the team's ability to respond to the defense just now. Before the game, he formulated offside tactics, but Van den Burley was at the end just now, but the responsibility was not the young player, but Van Bitten,
As the absolute core of the team's defense line, Van Bitten's responsibility is to direct the defense. The specific implementation of offside is also his decision on when to make an offside. The timing is all up to him, but Van Bitten was also a little hesitant just now.
Seeing Antiennis standing on the sidelines, Van Bitten also knew that it was his fault just now, and quickly waved his hand to Antiennis.
As the core of defense, Van Bitten is very careful and cautious when making an offside. If he succeeds, no one will remember his credit. If he fails, it must be his responsibility. Few people are willing to do this kind of work, but as the second star of the Belgian national team besides Degan, he obviously has to take on more responsibilities.
After the sideline ball of the Serbia and Herzegovina was sent out, it was quickly cut off by Van der Haag. It was Belgium's turn to attack. They had two offensives before, but they failed to hit the 30-meter area of the Serbia and Herzegovina. Although the Belgian team is tough, it lacks a player that can pass out like Hazard. The player of the life ball.
But this time, the Belgian team successfully sent the football to Degan's feet, and the Serbia and Black team's defense was suddenly tense.
Everyone knows how good Degan is this season. It's like cheating. He can complete accurate strikes anywhere in the 30-meter area, and this boy's skills are excellent. No one knows when and where he will enlarge his moves and single-handed the opponent's entire defense line, so no one dares to Look down on him.
The defense players of the Serbia and Herzegovina are famous stars throughout Europe, but they dare not underestimate this young man.
It can score more than 40 goals in the most defensive Italy in a single season. Who dares to ignore this terrible scoring ability? The defensive attention of the Serbia and Herzegovina immediately focused on Dugan.
The commentator of Belgian national television saw Degan touch the ball for the first time in this game and shouted: "Digan received the football, and now the football is at his feet. Let's see how Digan will choose this time?"
After taking the ball, Degan first used his excellent foot skills and strong body to protect the football, and also successfully attracted enough defenders.
When almost the whole defense of the Blacks almost surrounded Degan and saw that he had no way to go, the football suddenly drilled out of the encirclement and rolled to the left.
Simmons, the Belgian sideline, received a pass from Degan with almost no defense, and then there was a big gap in front of him. He did not shoot directly outside the penalty area, but chose to break into the penalty area.
When Antiennis, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene, he couldn't help clenching his fist.
That's what Digan he wants!
If it can only bring a large number of goals, Belgium can only return to the original level at best, but if Degan can make more attacks, play more roles and take on heavier responsibilities on the offensive end, the situation will be completely different.
"Digan chose to pass the ball and made the right choice. The ball reached Simmons' feet. He did not choose to shoot. Now the whole defense of the Serbia and Herzegovina is still spinning around Degan. There are no defensive players around Simmons."
Seeing that Degan actually chose to pass the ball, Simmons had burst into the penalty area, and then woke up as if they woke up. Dragoutinovic rushed over first and then stretched out his foot to stop Simmons.
But he didn't stop the ball under Simmons' feet, but directly knocked Simmons to the ground!
Dragutinovic fouled! Penalty! Penalty!"
Antienes on the sidelines also raised his arms and shouted, "This is a foul! Penalty! Penalty!"
Digan on the field was also very happy to see Simmons tripped over by Dragoutinovic. If he can score an advance goal in the game, he will have a greater chance of winning the game.
There is no doubt that Dragoutinovic's foul tripped Simons directly over his leg, and everyone could see it clearly, so there was no problem with this penalty.
Belgian fans watching the game in front of the TV are also cheering: "Piece!"
But the next second, everyone was stunned, including Antiennis, Degan, and even Belgian fans in front of the TV.
Because the referee ran into the penalty area, instead of pointing his finger to the 12-yard position, he seemed to be ready to give Simmons a yellow card and hooked up to get Simmons who fell to the ground to stand up as soon as possible.
Degan was stunned, and the expression on his face was full of confusion and doubt.
It was not until he saw the referee give Simmons a yellow card that he confirmed that the referee really did not give them a penalty, and his expression instantly changed from confusion to anger.
"Damn!"
Degan rushed directly to the referee and shouted, "Are you sure this is not a penalty!" Isn't this a penalty? Dragoutinovic just used deadly scissors. Isn't this a penalty?
The scene of Dragutiniwei qi tripping Simons just now is too obvious. Anyone with eyes can see clearly. If you have to say that Simmons faked fall, the only possibility is that Simmons fell exaggerated just now, but the problem is that whether it is exaggerated or not, Dragoutinovic did take the initiative to hit it. This is a foul. If Dragoutinovic doesn't trip Simons, Simmons can face the Black goalkeeper directly.
"I'm very sure that this is a fake fall. Don't make trouble and take your people back!"
Digan was stunned, mother! It's still reasonable to do shameless things.
Looking at the referee's resolute appearance, Degan can only be sure that today's luck seems to be really not good. Can the damn referee even see such a clear foul as a fake fall?
