Chapter 105 Champion's Heart
In the visiting team's locker room, the atmosphere was slightly depressing, and the Belgian players obviously had not recovered from the blow they suffered in the first half.
The penalty became the key to changing the whole first half. Originally, a good opportunity to open the deadlock was actually killed by the referee. Whoever it was, he would be unconvinced.
At this time, Antiennis's reputation as a master of psychology played a crucial role. Perhaps his tactical level is not very rich. Compared with those world famous coaches, he has nothing to do with it, but he is really good at how to help players correct their minds and restore confidence.
"It's not the end of the world yet. You don't need to bow your head and confess to God." Antienis began his psychological counseling in a relaxed tone, "We are just one goal behind now. Obviously, does anyone think I have lost?"
How to answer this question?
All the players were silent.
"We have an advantage!" Antienis then said such a sentence, which made everyone raise their heads.
Advantage!
I was pressed on my head by the Black Team for dozens of minutes, and there was nothing I could do. I actually said that I had an advantage. What advantages do you have? Do you have the ability to fight?
"I didn't say anything. What I said is true. We do have an advantage. Although the Blacks took the lead, they did complete it with the help of the referee. What about us? Although this game is very unfavorable, we almost took the lead, but now I ask you to stop thinking about the penalty. It's over, and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
"The coach is right!" Degan also stood up at this time, "Do you remember what I said to you before?"
Degan looked at his silent teammates and said, "I said that we are going to surpass the history of Belgian football. Belgium once won the runner-up in the European Cup and the fourth place in the World Cup. These are not our goals. Our only goal is the champion. There is no runner-up in the world of football. History will only remember those champions. Now who still remembers who is the runner-up in every World Cup? If we want to become a really strong team, we must win the championship. We can't stop before achieving this goal. We should not be knocked down by any difficulties. Whether we can be afraid of strong enemies? This requires us must have a The heart of the champion, Serbia and Herzegovina is a test for us, defeat them, defeat them, and prove to everyone that we have this champion's heart!"
"I know that the current situation is a little unfavorable to us. We are facing a strong opponent like the Blacks on the road, and the referee does not seem to be on our side. Now our score is still behind. All this looks terrible, and all the factors seem to be very unfavorable! There seem to be so many disadvantages that we take it for granted that we lose this game. And we won a crazy victory in the last game, and it doesn't matter if we lose a game. That's what you think at this moment! You don't have a champion heart.
Degan's tone suddenly became harsh and criticized his teammates, which may make people feel unconvinced, but no one refuted it, because they did have such an idea.
"A big victory is meaningless for us to enter the World Cup. The only thing that determines success or failure is the points after the end of the qualifiers. When we enter the World Cup, we are the winners and fail to advance. We are the losers. The last victory can't whitewash our defeat. ."
Belgian players gradually raised their heads and looked at Degan. For some reason, they all felt that what the young man said was very reasonable.
Digan continued: "You may think that we have lost this game, and we still have two games to play. The situation is not very bad. Let the Black team advance, and then we will strive for the second place. But if we bow our heads to our opponents in this game and raise our hands to surrender, then next time Will we still face the same situation again? I can answer you now, and we will definitely do it, because failure is inertia, a terrible inertia. Once you get used to this inertia, you will continue to find excuses for yourself. This is our penalty kick. What other reason can we find next time? Bad weather? Too cold? Too hot? Or are you not even used to the wind and sun?
Digan noticed that Van Den Borley slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and Degan's eyes suddenly became fierce: "This is nothing ridiculous, boy! Because this is human inertia and human inferiority. Making excuses is what cowards do. Real men never make excuses for their failures. If a person is used to distinguishing their own failures, he is not qualified to win again!"
Van den Borray was ashamed by Digan and couldn't help lowering his head.
"Of course, you can also find more excuses. Flemish people will say that the Walloons are too lazy on the court, and Walloons will say that Flemish people are self-righteous and don't know how to cooperate on the court? Don't deny that you have always treated your compatriots like this, Daniel Barth! When Simmons was violated and wronged by the referee, where were you?
Gur and Van Bitten also lowered their heads when they heard the words.
"Ha! You must be thinking that a damn Walloon lazy man lies on the ground and hides leisurely. For a Walloon, you don't have to cross half of the court to argue with the referee, right?"
When the Flemão players in the locker room heard the words, they couldn't help but reflect, and the Walloon players glared at the Flemão players.
"Don't think you are very good, Walloon. Think about your performance on the field. If you have to, you will never pass the ball to the Flemishers. When the national team has such a rule, tell me!"
Degan shouted angrily that the team was in such a disadvantaged situation that these damn guys were still fighting for power for some bullshit.
"Never forget that we are a whole. Even if we go to the World Cup, we will go together. Will you still compete? For bloodline, skin color, for those bastards!? Now I want to tell you unity! Only when we are truly united, no matter what difficulties we face, we will not give up and are still willing to give everything for victory! Everyone grits their teeth and sticks to work hard, and you really have a champion heart! No matter how strong the opponents are, they must dare to fight against them. Only such a team can keep an eye on the position of the champion and work hard to defeat one opponent after another in the process, solve one trouble after another, and stand at the peak of world football! That's why I'm coming to Belgium. I hope to fight for the championship with you guys, Flemish, Walloon, Congolese, Croats, Greeks, and me, the damn Brazilian, to make the fans of this country happy and become the world's top players, so forget you now. What if those bullshit things in our minds don't get a penalty? Can we only defeat Serbia and Herzegovina with the charity of the referee? Did the referee help us when we beat San Marino 150 at home? So it's just a penalty. Why do we feel like the end of the world is coming? If there is no penalty, we will win them the same. That's the ability. I will think about our performance in the first half. I feel ashamed. If we are like this, it's okay not to go to the World Cup! If you continue to consume bloodline and skin color, I don't think I need to be here. I'm a Brazilian, also a mixed race. My bloodline is so complicated that my parents can't explain it clearly. In your eyes, I'm also a damn bastard. Think about it. Do you want to go to the World Cup!?
After saying that, Degan walked out of the locker room. Antienes looked at it, with no expression on his face and a real smile in his heart. Maybe this difficult situation came just in time. Maybe it has plagued the factional struggle of Belgian football for decades, and it will be completely solved in this game. Drop it!
"Digan said a lot, forgot everything in the first half, and you should think about whether you want to continue to fight!"
Antienes also went out immediately. He had nothing to say. Degan had finished all his words. I hope that Degan's words could really be a blow and rekindle the players' fighting spirit.
There was a silence in the locker room, and finally Gul suddenly stood up and walked to Simmons, who was the head of the team's Rivalons.
"It's time to put some things down!"
Simmons obviously didn't expect Gul to take the lead in expressing goodwill. He hesitated and stood up and said, "I agree! But only on the court, outside the court, I will still hate you, a self-righteous Flemish!"
Gur smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter! You lazy Walloon!"
Both of them laughed after saying that, and the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly changed.
Gur is the old captain and still has a lot of prestige in the team: "Guys, the coach and Rod are right, especially Rod, the damn Brazilian. He is right. There is nothing terrible about Serbia and the Black. The situation is not good for us. This is not terrible. The key question is whether we want to have it or not. With the heart of champion, I don't want to be flattered by Rod, a damn Brazilian. What do you think!?
Simmons also stood up: "I also agree, I want to participate in the World Cup, and I want to fight for the championship!"
followed by Van Bitten also said: "No matter what, I don't want to lose to those black people!"
"I haven't seen those guys for a long time! Kill them!"
"Yes! Let bastard Rod see if we have a champion heart!"
"Victory Serbia and Black, let's go to Germany to participate in the World Cup!"
Gul saw that everyone's fighting spirit was burned and shouted, "That's right. Now those black people must think that we have surrendered. In the second half, we will definitely have to tremble under their crazy attack. What we need to do now is to tell them not to be happy too early. The game has not yet. It's over! It's still a little early for them to celebrate the victory now!"
"That's right!"
"Kle them!"
"We have a champion heart!"
More and more players stood up and expressed their determination to fight.
Gur looked at these familiar teammates. It was the first time he felt such a burning fighting spirit in these people. The more he looked at it, the more Gur admired Degan. It's really amazing that a young man who is less than 20 years old has such ability. Maybe something will really happen in this game today. Unexpected things.
The factional struggle that once troubled this team has really disappeared at this moment, even if it is only on the court, which is enough.
Antiennis stood at the door and heard the shouts inside. He was immediately relieved. As long as the team still has the fighting spirit, there is no problem. Although Belgian football has been lonely for several years, Antiennis believes that with the strength of the current team, even if Facing Serbia and Herzegovina, which is the first in the group, is also capable of fighting.
But it is followed by a tactical problem.
Andiernis found Degan at the entrance of the player channel: "Rod! Very wonderful speech!"
Digan smiled: "As long as you don't think I'm nosy!"
Antienis laughed and said, "How come!? You are the captain of the team, and it is also your responsibility to awaken your teammates' determination to fight, and I can make it much easier!"
Digan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why did you come out? Don't you need to arrange tactics? Our current situation is not as simple as it says. We need to make some changes!"
In the first half of the game, Digan's strength was not played at all. He was at the forefront. Every time he took the ball, he was surrounded by a bunch of muscle sticks. When he was in Atlanta, Pazzini could share the pressure for him, but little Mpanza obviously did not have such ability, and there was Meng behind him in Atlanta. Tolivo, Albertini and Jimenez are masters who can send threatening balls. In Belgium, the midfield is speed and muscle, and there are no creative players.
Andiernis also agreed with Degan, saying, "We do want to make a change, but this change is on you!"
Digan was stunned and said, "On my body?"
Andiernis nodded and said, "That's right! It's you! In the first half, your position was too forward. In the second half of the game, you have to move back a little and put your sword in the box!"
???
Digan understood at first sight, but when he looked at the court, he suddenly became cheerful and moved backwards, that's right! Just move backwards!
