Chapter 29 Cheerful Portugal

Netherlands!

Because it is now the national team game day, Ajax's training ground seems a little lonely. Vermaren, who has no national team task, is training with the players of the reserve team under the leadership of an assistant coach.

Such days have lasted for several days, and Wilma has long been tired of training with a group of young reserve players.

At this time, looking at the teammates around them, they pack up and go to their respective national teams to report. How can Vermaren not be envious, but there are some things that they can't envy.

Vilmaren has been playing for Ajax for three and a half years. In three and a half years, he has gradually grown from a fledgling boy to Ajax' captain.

When he first came to the Netherlands, Vermaren was just a complete rookie. In the first season, he only got one appearance. As a result, at the beginning of the second season, he was loaned out. After Valvik scored 2 goals in 13 league games, Ajax coach Brind noticed the rise. The progress of the show brought Vermarron back to Ajax in the second half of the season and cultivated him as the main force of the team.

In the following season, Wilmaren got 24 appearances in Ajax. Due to the long absence of the left-back due to injury at that time, Vermaren also got the opportunity to exercise on the left side. His 182CM height often made fans mistakenly think that he was a full-back.

In fact, although he is not superior in height, Vermalen is a recognized staring master in the team, and he does not fall behind in fighting for the header with the big guy.

Next, Vermaren's role in the team became more and more important. When the former Manchester United star Starm returned to Ajax to play the residual heat, he happened to form a central back partner with Vermaren.

Stam believes that Wilmaren is the best young defender in Europe and has a bright career future. Stam's prediction was correct, but Vermalen was unable to win the Dutch league title with Ajax.

In the new season, Wilmaren also looks forward to completing the leap with the team. Head coach Brind believes in Vermaren's ability. After Van der Fart's transfer to Ajax, he even passed the captain's armband to the young man under 22 years old.

Wilmaren is satisfied with the current situation in the club, but he is a little frustrated that he has not been called by the national team for a long time.

Just as Vermaren took the football to vent, head coach Brind came and was very grateful to Brind. If Brind hadn't found him, maybe his career would still be struggling.

"Thomas! I think it's time for you to leave!" Blind put his hands behind his back with a smile on his face.

Wilmaren was stunned. He didn't understand what Blind meant and left? Is it possible that Ajax doesn't need him? Where can he go? Now the summer transfer period is over!

"Coach! I don't understand!"

Blind smiled and stretched out his hand behind him, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and his eyes were full of love. He loved Vermaren very much. This young Belgian has a mature heart that is completely different from his age, and among the young players he has come into contact with, Vermaren has always been The best one.

"Congratulations! Thomas! Your excellent performance in Ajax has attracted the attention of the Belgian national team. They now let you go directly to Lisbon to meet the large army. I'm so happy for you, Thomas!"

Wilmaren was stunned. Looking at the letter of transfer handed to him by Blind, he even forgot to answer it, but stood in a daze and was a little at a loss.

Blind smiled: "What? Thomas! Don't you want to go? Of course, I also really hope to see you every day. Do you want me to help you refuse!"

Fight!?

What an international joke!

Wilmaren had been waiting for this opportunity for several years. He quickly grabbed the recruitment letter and looked at it carefully before he was sure that Brind did not make fun of him.

I'm really going to the national team!

Wilmaren felt that his heart was about to explode, and the great joy made him almost faint.

Since Belgium achieved a brilliant record under the leadership of Degan at the 2006 World Cup, Vermalen has always fantasized that one day he can put on the robe of the European Red Devils and charge for the Belgian national team, but this opportunity has not come for a long time. Now the opportunity has come. But he couldn't believe that all this was true.

Blind is also happy for Wilmaren: "Thomas! Get ready, I have a hunch that you may be able to become the main force this time and play as the main player!"

Main force!?

Wilmaren doesn't believe that as long as he can be included in the list, he will die happily. How dare he hope to become the main force?

Blind saw that Vermaren disapproved and said mysteriously, "I heard that Compani is injured. At this time, do you need a training partner?"

Konpani was injured!

This matter could not be hidden from anyone, and soon spread. Belgian fans naturally mourned. Compani is the core of the rear and the team's sea needle. He was injured. Who will guard the Belgian team's penalty area?

In contrast, the Portuguese are excited by this news.

Although the Portuguese are confident that their team can win tickets for the European Cup at their doorstep, if the opponent's strength is weakened, they certainly have no objection and will only be happy.

After playing in Florence for a season, no one knows or who knows the strength of Compani. If Degan's playing will pose a great threat to the Portuguese defense, then Compani is the biggest obstacle to the Portuguese team's goal.

Now that this obstacle has been destroyed by the Belgians themselves, who else can stop the attack group led by Kim Maero?

Scolari, the head coach of the Portuguese team, laughed so hard that he even expressed his gloating condolences in an interview with reporters.

"This is really unfortunate news. Compani is an excellent player. His ability is obvious to all, but I think he must be very sad to be injured at this critical moment. Compani is good news for us, but I have warned my players that we must not take it lightly. Our right The hand is not only Compani, but without Compani, we can win more easily!"

Easier to win?

This old girl is obviously saying that even if Compani can play, Portugal can win the final victory. Now that Compani can't play, they will win more easily!

The old man dares not laugh at people!

The reporters couldn't help but be excited when they thought of how furious Digan would be when they heard Scolari's words, so they hurried to the hotel where the Belgian team stayed and asked to interview Degan himself.

But~~~~~~~~

They didn't even find a hair of Degan, and Belgian Football Association officials also said that Degan does not accept any kind of interview now.

Although the reporters shouted, they have the right to report freely, and they can't save Degan's "escape" heart.

Reporters have almost determined that Degan was timid after Compani's injury.

So what on earth is Degan doing now?

"Meet us all, this is our new buddy, Thomas, introduce yourself!"

Wilmaren stood next to Degan and actually felt a little nervous. He had heard a lot of rumors about Degan before, but after meeting, he thought that Degan was not bad, at least he would not bully the newcomer.

"Hear everyone! My name is Thomas. Wilmaren, currently playing for Ajax, is a central defender!"

Central defender!?

Some of the old players in the team couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this. They are all a group of people, and they can naturally guess what Vermaren did when he came to Lisbon.

Degan ignored the expressions of his teammates and then said, "Thomas introduced less. He is now the captain of Ajax. You can guess correctly. He came here to replace Vincent!"

The expression of Belgian players is even more wonderful. Some people don't care, some people are shocked, and some people are not depressed. After all, Vermaren is here to grab the position.

Digan was not a warm welcome to his teammates. Digan was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't attack at this moment, so he took the initiative to extend his hand to Vermalen: "Thomas! Welcome to be one of us. I believe that you can make some changes to this team, and I also believe that we can surprise all those who despise us at next year's European Cup!"

Wilmarlen smiled and shook hands with Digan: "I'm looking forward to it too!"

The other Belgian players in the room are even more confused about who the boy in front of him is. How can he be so favored by Degan? Is he really an extraordinary master?

is a mule, and the horse always has to pull out to make a conclusion, but now there is no time for Vermalen to adapt. This afternoon is the game, and we can only use the real game to test Vermalen's real strength.

The final round of the 2008 European Cup preliminaries is about to begin, and Belgium and Portugal will compete for the last place in the first group at the Bright Stadium in Lisbon.

Until the start of the game, Degan, who had been silent before, finally said: "That guy seems to feel that he has won, but I'm here to tell him not to be happy too early. By the end of the game, everything will have a result, but I believe that at that time Lisbon will definitely celebrate the victory!"
