Chapter 41 Despair and Hope

Of course, Degan will not be like a nymphomaniac. He appreciates Beckham for some special reason. What he appreciates is Beckham's professional attitude and skills.

In his last season at Real Madrid, Beckham still trained and played conscientiously when he was determined to transfer to Major League Baseball and was abandoned by Capello. Finally, he moved Capello with his professional attitude and won the main position again.

England was out, and Beckham's career in the England national team was basically over, and Degan spread all his grievances on English football.

Degan's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of English fans. Although they cursed McLaren and slandered the England national team, it was their own business. Their children scolded themselves, and it was not their turn for others to dictate.

After becoming Portugal's public enemy, Degan has also become the most unpopular person in England.

England's legendary striker Alan. Sheiller refuted Degan's opinion in an interview: "I don't agree with Degan. England's players are definitely not second-rate in Europe. On the contrary, the English League is the best league in the world. It is by no means comparable to Serie A. This time we admit defeat, but there is a reason, and most importantly, It's not a player's problem!"

Newcastle head coach Kevin. Keegan also ran out and brushed his sense of existence: "Failure is not terrible, but when it comes to Degan's mouth, it's like the end of the world. I believe England will eventually cheer up and everything will get better. Although we don't need to prove anything to him, we will still let him see that English football is heavy. On the day of his new rise, he will understand how funny his view of English players is!"

Although Sheiller and Keegan's retort is sonorous and powerful, it sounds more like a strong argument.

For the reality of not being able to participate in the European Cup, England's fans can be called mourning. They are known as the strongest national team in history and failed to break out of the qualifiers, which is not only the shame of England, but also the sadness of England.

If you miss this opportunity, the players of this England team can only wait for the World Cup in South Africa three years later, but how many people can stay at that time?

Some old players are basically not looking forward to it. Even Terry, Lampard and others will be over the age of their first year, and it is unknown whether they can continue to fight for the country.

Under the cheers of the Russians, there was the deep despair of the English.

The English never thought that they would be blocked from the European Cup finals, which made them disappointed and angry, so they kept cursing McLaren and those players who did not do their best on the court.

But what's the use of this?

The future of England still has to rely on those people. At the thought of this, English fans feel even more desperate.

They also want a player like Degan who can stand up at a critical moment and lead them to victory and crown, but they don't.

So, when the already desperate English people were ridiculed by Degan again, their anger could be imagine. They couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour. Now Degan is the sour grape that they would never eat, so the angry target was immediately transferred. All the anger was added to Degan, but Degan didn't care at all. Anyway, he was happy, which was enough.

The English are licking their wounds, but the Belgians are celebrating their successful entry into the European Cup. Although Degan's three-match suspension made it difficult for Belgians to accept for a while, they are already lucky compared with Portugal and England.

However, in the festive team, there is a person who is worried. This person is Degan.

After returning from Lisbon, Digan couldn't help but take the initiative to find Antienis. He felt that it was necessary to talk to the head coach about the future of Belgian football.

Although it successfully broke through, the Belgian team exposed many problems during the game, especially the age structure. Although there are young people such as Degan, Compani, Vermaren, Van den Borre and Proto, there are still too many veterans in the team.

Especially Degan, he doesn't even have a substitute now. Although the Mpanza brothers can still play their spare time, they obviously can't cope with high-intensity international matches. In this European Cup qualifier, there are a total of 14 games, and the number of goals scored by two people is only one. Obviously, there is no way to achieve such goal efficiency. Survived the Belgian national team.

The age structure is aging, and a topic that can't be avoided is physical fitness. In Belgium's current game, the beginning is always lively. Whether the attack begins to let go, it can bring a sense of oppression to the opponent, but once it comes to the second half, especially the last half of the game, most players can only survive on the field.

If all these problems are brought to the European Cup, it will be a disaster for Belgian football.

Digan didn't want to ask this question before, just because of nostalgia. Now these teammates of the national team are old people who have experienced the 2006 World Cup and are familiar with each other. Degan also wants to lead them to the European Cup next year and finally go crazy.

But now it seems that Degan is a little taken for granted, and his enthusiasm and determination cannot change the aging reality of Belgian football.

If you want to achieve a breakthrough, you can't rely on those veterans alone, but you still need young people to take the top.

Just like this match with Portugal, Vermallen, who replaced the injured Compani, played. During the game, although he was slightly nervous at the beginning, which led to the Belgian team's first goal loss, his later performance became better and better, and he scored a goal to equalize the score and made up for the defeat.

Wilmaren's performance proves that Belgian football is not a successor. What Degan has been worried about before is that young people are inexperienced and unbearable, which seems to be a little filtered.

It turns out that there are many talents in Belgian football, and compared with the old Italy, they can completely look down on each other.

"Coach! Our current situation must be changed. We still have almost a year to prepare for next year's European Cup. We must seize this time to cultivate enough young people.

In the past two days, Antienes has also been thinking about this issue. Previously, like Degan, he was worried that young people could not undertake such an important task. In addition, veteran players with rich experience have fully adapted to his tactics, so since he took the position of head coach of the national team, Players have rarely changed.

In the final analysis, Antienes' personality is a little conservative. Recruiting Degan to join the Belgian national team is probably the boldest thing he has done in his life.

Stability has always been pursued by Antiennis. You can see from the current lineup of the Belgian national team. Although some young players have been recruited to participate in training during this period, the main lineup is still the old players who have participated in the German World Cup every time.

However, through the recent airport competition, there is no way to avoid the problem of upgrading. It is time to make some changes to help Belgium continue to improve.

However, Antiennis still has some concerns. The renewal of the team will definitely bring out the interests of old players. If Belgium fails to advance to the European Cup, everything will be fine. But now that they have advanced, those old players must hope to participate. If they change players, If the team's unity is destroyed, some gains outweigh the losses.

"Rod! You know, these old players have entered the national team since I took office, and some have even participated in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. If adjustments are made at this time, I think it may cause some unforeseen problems!"

In Antienes's heart, there are still some concerns. No one likes to use the direct forces, especially at the level of the national team. As long as they have the support of the direct forces, they can sit firmly in the national team.

But now Degan suggested that he do what he did was to drive his direct troops out of the national team.

He must have some concerns about letting Antienes do these things.

This is also a problem, and Degan did not expect it, but since it is necessary to reform and renew, some labor pains are certainly inevitable, and no one can escape.

When it comes to the relationship with teammates, veterans such as the Mponsa brothers are his friends, but compared with Belgium's results in the European Cup, their personal relationship has become insignificant.

"Of course I know, if I can, I certainly hope to participate in the European Cup with my current teammates, but, coach! When we consider these issues, the first thing we should consider is the team's achievements in the European Cup, which is the most important thing. We can't just think about the human accounts. The necessary personnel flow is normal. Everything is for Belgium's achievements in the European Cup. Sometimes, we must do something that we are reluctant to do. "The thing."

Digan has made up his mind, especially after seeing Wilmaren's excellent performance.

Since Vermaren can, are those high-quality Mavericks in his memory also be qualified for the national team's game, especially those players who will become popular in European football in the future.

Seeing Antienes not talking, Degan continued to persuade: "Coach! We still have less than a year left. If we all want to achieve a breakthrough in this European Cup, we must do this!"

When he said this, Degan felt a little cruel, but his desire for honor still made him determined. Some old players who could not keep up with the pace of the team must leave, and the seriously old Belgium team must be full of fresh blood.

For example, Fellaini, Dembélé, Wiltongen, Defour, Bailey, Miralas, Na England, Deeira, Boleden, Martens, Williminck, Lombarz and others will be regulars of the Belgian national team in the future.

If we can build on the old players who still maintain a high level in the team, and then add these young talents to form a new Belgian national team, the European Cup will definitely be interesting at that time.

In the past two days, when Digan carefully recalled the European Red Devils Army that shocked the world in the future, he was surprised to find that Belgium still had so many forgotten pearls by the national team.

In the previous life, Belgium's glory undoubtedly began with the European qualifiers of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. At that time, the Red Devils led by Wilmozi swept all the teams in their group and successfully qualified for promotion. At that time, the combined value of all the players of that team even surpassed the European Cup and Spain, the double champion of the World Cup.

However, now that Degan is here, he does not have the patience to wait until seven years later. Everything will change from now on. Belgium must change its current image, so that young people can flood in and let everyone see hope.

Degan said and handed a list he had put together in the past two days to Antienes: "Coach! These are the candidates I recommend, and I think they can be used as fresh blood to join our team.

Antienis was stunned. He didn't expect Degan to think so far that even the list was ready. Obviously, he came prepared. However, isn't Degan waiting for the penalty result of UEFA these two days?

How big a heart it takes to put such an important thing aside and make such a list.

However, after reading it, Antiennis became more and more shocked. This list not only records the information of each player in detail, but also clearly describes his characteristics and experiences.

This is not a player's opinion, it is simply a scout report of an old scout.

After reading it, Antiennis smiled bitterly and said, "Rod! Maybe Francois is right. If you sit in the position of head coach, it will be more suitable than me!"

Degan is not interested in discussing this issue with Antiennis now. He is now thinking about how to persuade Antiennis to accept his opinion.

"Coach! I can guarantee that everyone on this list is definitely the best young players in Belgium at present. As long as they are given a chance, they will definitely give you a big surprise like Thomas!"

Antiennis couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Degan's assurance, but Belgian football has always given people the impression of serious aging. If it weren't for Degan, the title of European Red Devils is probably a big joke now.

Does Belgian football really have so many hidden treasures?

Antienes is a little suspicious, but at the same time, he has some expectations. After all, which head coach does not want his subordinates to be full of talents.
