Chapter 151 Degan's Location
On July 6, 2006, the second semi-final of the World Cup was played at the Allianz Stadium in Munich.
Before the game, someone predicted that Degan was likely not appear in this game. After all, he was injured continuously against France and Brazil, and all of them were injured in the same position. If there is another accident in this game, Degan's career may be affected.
It is said that AC Milan has negotiated with the Belgian Football Association because of Degan's injury. After all, if Degan is injured in the national team, it will be the club that will damage the interests.
The Belgian Football Association is also in a dilemma. Of course, they don't want Degan to be injured in the German World Cup. Degan is not yet 21 years old. At this age, he can at least play three World Cups for the Belgian national team, but Degan does not agree to rest. What can they do? In the semi-finals, who can't think about going further?
So Galliani sent fierce contact letters several times. The Belgian Football Association just pretended to be deaf and dumb, and was really forced to ask, and could only say one sentence: respect the player's decision!
Respect the player's decision!?
Who doesn't know that Degan is a complete naive. As soon as he hears that there is a game, he can be so excited that he can urinate in an instant!
Don't let him play?
What's the joke? If Antiennis really didn't let Degan play, Degan would dare to tie a bomb all over his body and die with Antienes.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, even if Degan plays in this game, he will definitely be placed on the bench. When the situation on the field cannot be opened, or Belgium is in danger, he will be sent to the field. However, the fact is that Degan is not only on the field, but also the main force.
In this game, both teams played with all the main players. On the Belgian side, except for Degan's left leg injury, all the other players can maintain world peace in good health. Portugal's midfielders Deco and Costinha ended their suspension. Figo and Kim Mauro, who recently trained alone with minor thigh injuries, also passed the physical examination. .
Compared with the strength of the two teams, although the Portuguese players on the field are more famous than Belgium, the strength of the two sides has been basically equaled due to the presence of Degan.
People are also looking forward to a close match.
After eliminating the two world champions France and Brazil, the Belgian team also had high morale at this moment. At the beginning of the game, Gul's long pass behind Miguel's midfielder, Degan broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot 14 meters in front of the goal. His left foot was slightly out of the far post.
Digan, who missed a good opportunity to score, also looked a little annoyed. Portugal was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Scolari on the sidelines did not expect Belgium to play so actively at the beginning, and the attack speed was so fast that only a long pass formed a shot.
Scolari thought about it, walked to the sidelines, pressed his hands down, signaling the players on the field to be steady and slow down the pace of the game.
The previous game has let Scolari understand the Belgian's tactics, which is to use speed to fight back, with a super shooter like Degan in front of him. Although the tactics are simple, there is still a great threat.
In the fourth minute, there was a gap in the front defense of the Belgian team's penalty area. Deco made a low shot with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal. Proto blocked it with one hand to the right. Pauletta shot forward but was stopped by Companika and did not have a chance to get up. He could only watch the football being pressed under Proto.
In the next game, Portugal, which gradually mastered the rhythm of the game, made a continuous threat.
In the ninth minute, after cutting in the left road, the sole of his right foot called back. Maniche was 28 meters in front of the door, and his right foot shot vigorously against the crossbar and flew out!
Then, Figo broke through from the right and passed Pauletta low, and Compani fell to the ground and destroyed the ball.
In the eleventh minute, Mera made a long-distance direct pass in the midfield and almost sent it to Pauletta's feet, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Compani's first kick.
In this World Cup, the best player in Belgium is naturally Degan. In addition to Degan, the most eye-catching is Compani, the central defender who plays for Anderlecht, a giant team in Belgium.
It is said that Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich is very interested in Compani and hopes to introduce it after the end of the World Cup.
Digan from later generations naturally knew Compani's future achievements. Without him, Compani would soon become the captain of the Belgian national team, and then after the low tide in Hamburg, he transferred to Manchester City, a Premier League tycoon, and reached the peak of his career in Manchester City.
But now, all this probably won't happen, at least not like Degan's previous life.
After several consecutive attacks failed, Portugal's attack became more and more fierce. Deke moved to the right side. After Figo got the ball, the right rib was straight into the penalty area, but Pauletta did not foresee Figo's intention to run through, and the football was directly taken by Proto.
During this period, the Portuguese team was most active on two sidelines. The veteran Figo and the younger Golden Retriever took turns to attack the two sides of Belgium.
Simmons and Buffer, who had previously shined in the game with Brazil, seemed a little embarrassed at this time. They mainly focused on defense and could not help Degan in the attack.
Changes must be made.
In the 14th minute, the Belgian team lost the ball in the middle, and Gul made a short pass. Degan quickly moved to the left side. After getting the ball, he gently poked the ball with his toes. The football passed through Miguel's legs. Degan took advantage of the opponent's stunned efforts to forcibly break through and made a low pass through the door. Unfortunately, little Mpongsa did not Touch the ball.
"What a pity! Degan passed the ball very beautifully, but it was a pity that Little Mponsa didn't understand Degan's intention and slowed down a little by half a beat! In the first 15 minutes, although Portugal's offensive was very fierce, the quality of the two attacks on Belgium's side was obviously higher, but unfortunately it was one foot away!"
In the 16th minute, Miguel made a low pass from the right side. Figo shot low with his left foot 25 meters in front of the goal and was held in his arms by Proto. After getting up, he threw the ball directly with his hand to launch an attack. Degan, who had retreated in the middle of the road, unloaded the ball from his chest, and then crossed to the right to avoid the forced robbery of Costinia and rushed all the way to Portugal. At the front of the penalty area, Taoya suddenly cut in, and the right foot shot was blocked by Rikado.
"From the beginning of the game, Degan's position does not seem to be on the front line. His range of activities is very large. He appeared in the middle road for a while, pulled the left road, and just launched an attack from the right road. It looks like~~~~~~"
It seems to be a free man in the frontcourt that Degan played in AC Milan!
That's right!
Digan is now a free man in the frontcourt. The overall strength of the Portuguese team is obviously better than that of Belgium, and the two sides are more active. There is Deco in the midfield, with the scope of attack and means of attack. Belgium is obviously not occupied by Belgium if it is a simple defense, or against the opponent like Brazil. Advantages.
In this game, Antiennis is to give full play to Degan's comprehensiveness as much as possible, making him the only offensive core on the Belgian court. All the goals must be handed over to Degan's feet. If Degan is fixed on the front line, it will limit Degan's performance. In this case, it is better to give him absolute rights. Let Degan play freely on the court and decide how to deal with it according to the form on the court.
If Degan's left leg is not injured, this task is not difficult for him. He has speed and outstanding physical ability. Even if he runs all over the field for 90 minutes, it is not difficult.
But not now. Degan has not taken a step on the court and has to bear great pain. After only ten minutes of the opening, Degan felt that the injury to his left leg was faintly painful again.
So he must score as soon as possible, at least score a goal in the first half and get the initiative. In the second half, he can play more calmly.
In the twenty-eighth minute, Digan and Gul played a beautiful two-to-one in the midfield, a huge inverted triangle pass. After Digan regained the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he cheated Miguel with continuous fake actions. His right instep seemed to be a pass, picked the ball to the far end of the goal, and followed closely followed by Mponsa headed the ball to the goal, only Unfortunately, he was saved by Ricado's single palm.
In the 33rd minute, the Belgian team made a comeback. This time, Degan pulled to the side defense and won a complete victory in the face-to-face battle with Kim. Kimuro stepped on the bike continuously. As a result, Degan poked the ball out with one foot and then launched an attack.
Belg's most impressive impression in this World Cup is their propulsion speed. Degan handed the ball to Boufer, Boufer passed it to Gul in the middle, and then Gul returned the ball to Boufer, who went across the ground.
Degan received Bufer's pass on the edge of the penalty area and suddenly changed the line and dialed the outer instep of his right foot. Carvalho stretched out his right leg to relieve the siege but kicked it empty. After losing his balance, his left foot hooked to Degan's right foot. Degan fell to the ground, and the referee on duty awarded a free kick on the penalty area line.
The referee's penalty aroused the dissatisfaction of both sides. The Portuguese believed that Degan made a fake fall, while the Belgian believed that the foul occurred in the penalty area and should be awarded a penalty.
play back through slow motion.
"This should be a penalty. When Carvalho tripped Degan, Degan's right foot had stepped into the penalty area. The Portuguese had nothing to complain about. The referee's misjudgment helped them escape a penalty, and Degan seemed to be helpless!"
Degan was really helpless. He knew very well that this was a penalty, but the referee had made a penalty.
Degan stood up and separated the teammates who were arguing around the referee. He was the captain on the court. Naturally, he should negotiate with the referee.
"Are you sure this is not a penalty?"
The referee's eyes flashed a little. Obviously, he was not very sure and was more inclined to penalty, but the penalty had been made, and there were some reasons why it was inconvenient to say.
"I'm sure that it's not a penalty. Let your people leave quickly, otherwise, I don't mind showing a few more yellow cards!"
Digan didn't distinguish. It was not a wise decision to be against the referee on the court, but when he left, he didn't forget to say, "I hope you can be more confident next time!"
If there is no penalty kick, there will be no penalty kick. Don't you know that I always kick a free kick as a penalty kick?
The Portuguese were no longer entangled. Figo and Carvalho whispered for a while, and the Portuguese immediately became honest and lined up the wall. Who doesn't know Digan's free kick.
In AC Milan this season, Degan scored as many as nine free kicks, while Degan only made 15 free kicks in total, and he could score two goals for almost every three free kicks.
Who can not worry about the terrible efficiency of scoring?
Watching Degan stand in front of the ball, the Portuguese are like a big enemy. Except for the fastest Kimuro in the midfield, everyone else is stuffed into the penalty area, waiting for Degan to shoot.
Taking a deep breath, Digan began to run and took three steps forward. Suddenly, a sudden stop, the Portuguese team's wall was shaken and jumped collectively, but when they jumped up, they found a dark smile on Digan's face.
Bang!
The football brushed the scalp of the Portuguese players who had just begun to fall. The speed of the ball was very fast. Although the Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo judged the right direction, the ball still touched his fingertips into the net, and the Belgian team took the lead 1-0!
Seeing the goal, Degan did not rush to celebrate as before. He just held his hands high, and the fingers of one hand drew one by one, and the other hand drew one by two. This is Degan's 12th goal in this cup, which is only one away from the 13-goal record of French striker Fontaine, and this is also Portugal. The second goal has been conceded in this cup since it was scored by Mexico in the group stage.
The Belgian players who saw the goal ran over shouting one after another, but Fortunately, they could keep calm. Now Degan is protected, but he should be careful.
Antienes on the sidelines couldn't care so much. He jumped a few steps, waved his fist hard, scored goals, and was closer to the final. This is a major breakthrough in the history of Belgian football. His name will always be recorded in the history of Belgian football.
This is an extraordinary achievement!
The Belgian fans in the stands also cheered. To be honest, it was beyond their expectation that their team could get to this day. It was incredible that they reached the semi-finals and led Portugal in the semi-finals.
Scolari's face was full of regret. He saw the development trend of the game just now. Portugal seemed to have a little upper hand on the scene, but in fact, Belgium was not panicked at all under the attack of the Portuguese team, and each counterattack was very efficient.
That's why Degan scored!
Now everyone knows that if you want to defeat Belgium, you must first defend against Digan. France and Brazil can't do it. Can Portugal do it now?
