Chapter 160 The Coming of the Final Battle

World Cup, the highest palace of football!

Final, the accession ceremony of the king of the world!

For Belgium, a country that doesn't have much weight in football, it is like God doing a miracle to reach the final of the World Cup.

Even if they walk into the World Cup final, Belgian fans still feel a little unreal. When will it be their turn to have such a big stage?

Belgian fans certainly know who brought everything today. Without Degan, they couldn't get out of the qualifiers. Without Degan's 13 goals, they couldn't walk into the field.

But Degan is injured!

Although there has been news that Degan has been discharged from the hospital and returned to Belgium's training camp in Stuttgart, whether Degan can play so far, the head coach of the Belgian national team, Antiennis, and the Football Association have not given a clear answer.

If Degan can play, Belgium can attack this highest honor. If Degan can't play, they can only participate.

In the stands, Belgian fans erected a huge portrait of Degan. It can be seen that Belgian fans love Degan from the bottom of their hearts, because they are always winners of Degan's game, and Degan can always bring a large number of goals that make them cheer.

They are all looking forward to Degan to play and lead Belgium to victory, but they don't want Degan to persist with injury, hoping that he can recover from his injury and fight for Belgium with a healthy body in the future.

This contradictory psychology makes Belgian fans not know what to do!

Belgians are xenophobic, which is famous in Europe. Together with the Walloons and Fremans who belong to a country, they can fight endlessly. What's more, it is obviously more difficult for Digan to gain a foothold in Belgium.

But with his excellent performance, Diggan conquered almost all the Belgians in his first game for Belgium.

Can Degan play?

Can the Belgian national team play in the World Cup!?

All Belgians don't have an accurate idea.

In the stands, the fans of the two teams are ready to wave their flags and shout for their national teams. In the locker room, the coaches of the two teams are also hurrying to make the final deployment.

"Players! I think the game that will start soon is the first time in your life that you have touched the supreme honor in the football world so close!"

Lippi is a master who is very good at mediating the psychology of players. Otherwise, he could not easily get a group at the beginning. Because he had no championship for eight years, the frustrated Juventus players quickly ignited the fighting spirit, gathered around him, and broke the Milan dynasty and achieved his glory.

No matter who the opponent is, Belgium with Degan or Belgium without Degan, he will neither relax his players too much nor make his players nervous before the war.

Everything needs a degree, which depends on how to grasp it. There is a saying that it is too much. Lippi obviously knows how to mediate the mood of the players.

"In 1982, Italy won the World Cup in Spain, and some of you were born at that time!"

Lippi had a rare smile on his face and still looked very gentlemanly. Everyone looked at Gilardino, while Girardino smiled and lowered his head. At that time, he was indeed not yet born, and his idol was Paul, Italy's biggest hero in the 82 World Cup. Rosie.

Lippi paused for a moment, and when the players' attention was focused on him again, his tone suddenly changed: "From 1982 to 2006, for 24 years, Italy had a good opportunity, but missed it. The Italians have not touched it for 24 years. It's too long to get to the supreme honor. It's been too long for a young man to grow old and a baby to become a father. This should not happen to Italy, but all this is true. What we need to do now is to change all this now. Italians' waiting for the world champion should not continue. Go down, young people! Now you have the opportunity to end all this, become a hero of Italy, and become a hero worshipped by countless people!"

Hearing Lippi's words, everyone's eyes lit up and became heroes. Although the title of hero is worthless in today's society, for these young people, yes, young people, compared with Lippi, they all deserve the title of young men. They all aspire to become heroes and become countless people. It will be a great honor to praise the hero.

As Lippi said, he was also observing the expressions of the players. Obviously, his speech was very successful and achieved its purpose. The blood of the players has burned, so the next step is to let them calm down a little while keeping their blood boiling.

"Belgium is not an opponent that can be ignored. There must be a reason for them to come to this point. People are emphasizing the great role of Degan. Yes, he is a very excellent player, the kind that every coach needs, except Ancelotti!"

There was laughter again in the locker room, and the players from Milan laughed a little awkwardly. Since Degan directly made a statement about leaving AC Milan, even Gattuso, a good friend, felt a little embarrassed when facing Degan.

Lippi continued: "I didn't exaggerate his ability. He was the first player I met after Maradona who could determine the trend of a game with his own strength. His ability is indescribable. When Belgium and France, Brazil and Portugal played against each other, almost everyone I think Belgium should end here, but every time they are winners, he makes those prophets a big joke one by one. Now that they have reached the finals, why can't they go further and defeat us and become the new World Cup champions? They have such strength, indeed!"

The Italian player's eyes cooled down slightly.

"But! That's why we came here today to end what they, the French, Brazilians and Portuguese couldn't do. We're going to do today, and we must succeed!"

"Belgium is not always a weak team, but it is unfair to other Belgian players just to emphasize the role of Degan, and Degan may not be able to play today, so no matter how much work we do against him, it has become useless. It can be said that Belgium can go to this day. There are two reasons, one of which is Degan. Too many people have said about him. I don't want to repeat it today, and I'm more concerned about their defense for Belgium!"

"With Gul and Compani as the central axis, the two of them are very good players, excellent! Others include Van den Burley, Van Bitten, Deschart, and Van der Haig, a very excellent chain defense system, step by step. Without their defense, they can't go today. No matter how many goals Digan has scored, our main homework today is not how to defend Degan who doesn't know if he can play, and How can we break through their chain defense? This is the key to the game. As long as we can score a goal first, then the next thing will be easy. Even if Degan comes out, he will definitely not be able to exert 100% of his strength because of injury. As long as we can score, I believe in our defense, but To make Degan do nothing!"

"Francesco, Luca, Mauro! Today, your task does not include defense. All you need is to attack and keep putting pressure on their defense.

Lippi said, Camoranesi suddenly raised his hand. Lippi nodded and signaled to Camoranesi that it was customary for Juventus to participate in the discussion of tactics.

"Do we still have to focus on two sides today?"

Lippi smiled and shook his head and said, "No! We are going to make a breakthrough today.

After a positive breakthrough, Totti suddenly felt that the burden on his body was heavy, and the positive breakthrough was about to test his ability.

"We are going to attack the Belgians from the front. Compani and Vandenberg, including Van Bitten, have outstanding air defense capabilities, but they all have a common weakness, a sense of location, and their sense of position is not very good. Francisco, all you have to do is to find their gap and pass the ball out. , give it to Luca!"

Italian players are a little confused. If they want to attack like this, it is obvious that Inzaghi and Girardino are better than Luca. Tony is more suitable.

Lippi did not confuse his players for too long and quickly gave the answer: "Sports attack is only a means, and our positioning ball tactics are the key!"

Now the players have no doubts. What the positioning ball needs is a high point like Tony to compete for the top, cover, and make the ball for his teammates.

"Is there any problem now? I don't want to emphasize the defensive issue anymore. I believe you can do it well, Marco! If Digan comes on the field, it will be up to you!"

Materazzi smiled and seemed shy, but everyone who knew him knew that Degan was targeted by him.

Digan made his debut two years. Due to injury or suspension, he only played with Materazzi twice. As a result, the winner was Dugan. Especially last season, Digan scored two goals on Materazzi's head. After the game, Materazzi was even questioned by Inter Milan fans.

At the same time, in the Belgian team's locker room, Antienes has always stood aside, which belongs to Degan.

"This time I don't want to say those old lines, 'They all think we lost'. Everyone knows what I want to say is that it's a miracle for me to continue to slap those people's faces this time. It's really a miracle. Since it's already been like this, why don't we continue to go on?"

Digan said it very easily, but his teammates are not as calm as him. They are all worried. Although they already know that Degan can play in today's game, Degan's injury~~~~~~

"Don't look at me, I'm fine!" Degan obviously saw through his teammate's mind, "I'm the same as before, so don't treat me like a patient!" I can still score goals today, and I can even bet with you!"

No one wants to bet on a goal with Degan. Not to mention that Degan is just injured, even if he only has one leg left, he can still break through the door of any team in the world.

"So, what you should consider now is not what I will do, but how much you can do! I need everyone to take a desperate move. You're right. You're right. Now you can think so. We're one goal behind the Italians, so when we get to the court, our task is to score a goal and score the equalizing goal!"

"Italians are stronger than us. On this point, I also admit that they are three World Cup champions. Although this is a little far away, they won the last championship. I haven't been born yet, but this does not prevent them from becoming World Cup champions. As for us, we have nothing, than In the history of Lishi football, there is nothing, so we have nothing to worry about losing. Relax and let people all over the world see that Belgians don't only play defensive football. We can still attack and tear up the Italian reinforced concrete-like defense!"

"Of course, I don't want you to give up defense. Italians don't have many offensive means. In sports battles, their means is to quickly counterattack."

Digan is not belittling Italy. At present, although Italy is very competitive, their attack is obviously a short board, especially in sports battles. There are not many ways. There are two sides, strong defense and weak attack, and Totti is in a poor state. Relying on Tony's high point alone, it is obviously difficult to break through Belgium's goal. But~~~~~~~

"We should be careful of their positioning ball, especially the high point when they set the ball!"

In Digan's previous life, in the final between France and Italy, the French team was seized by the Italians with an opportunity to make a corner kick. Materazzi equalized the score and finally won the penalty.

"Other than that, Coach Antienis has said it many times. I don't want to repeat it. Guys, we are not here to be a foil. Now that we have come to this point, we have no reason to back down! Kill the Italians, let's meet Belgium with the championship trophy, let us create the history of Belgian football, kill the Italians, and let us become Belgian heroes!"

Antiennis looked at Degan and roared loudly. Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was not relaxed. He knew best about Degan's situation, but what would happen to the game had been placed in second by him. What he was most concerned about now was Degan's injury.

Don't force yourself!
