Chapter 42 Degan's Big List
As a time traveler, Degan's biggest advantage is probably to be familiar with the future football world. Those stars who may still be unknown but will become popular in the future basically hit Degan's mind.
Especially the future European Red Devil Belgium, the team led by Wilmot, has a proud record in the European qualifiers of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Even the traditional giants in Europe can't help but be jealous. They are jealous of nothing else, but the many young talents in the Belgian team. .
Although it is only 2007, some of the core players in the future, such as Hazard, Lukaku and others, are still Xiao Zhengtai, but some other top superstars have now emerged and begun to attract the attention of European giants.
In addition to Compani, van den Borre and Vermaren, who have now occupied a certain position in the Belgian national team, there are many young people who will become the backbone of the Belgian national team in the future.
After returning to Belgium this time, Digan counted some of the players in his memory and handed them over to Antiennis. He believed that Antienis's vision was not bad. He would definitely be able to select some players who met his tactics to fill the current Belgian national team. The European Cup in this year has created a stronger lineup.
A new generation replaces the old!
In doing so, although it is a little unfair to those players who have made great contributions to Belgium's successful qualifying, the football field is so cruel that there is no evergreen tree. Even if they used to be the World Footballer of the Year, there will be a day of retirement.
The pace of Belgian football and the ambition brought by the arrival of Degan are obviously not what those players can keep up with.
Belgium now needs fresh blood, and Degan's purpose of listing this list is to create blood for Belgian football, so that those stars who will become popular in the future can appear on the international stage earlier.
In this list, the first person Degan recommends is Maruwan, who will become the world's top star in Everton in the future. Fellaini.
Fellaini has shown a super talent for football since he was a child. After finding Fellani, the scout of the Belgian first-class club Atletico Chanel found his father and told him that "your son will be the second aviera", and Fellani joined Chanel club.
But two years later, when the Standard Liar club knocked on Fellaini's door, his football career really went to the fast lane.
His first few appearances were "impressive". The child did not care about the team's formation and his position at all, but chased the ball like crazy.
In the second year, Fellaini helped the team win the team's first league championship in 25 years. Fellaini, as the source of the team's motivation, attracted the attention of many European clubs. More and more scouts came to Liar to visit this young star, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Strong teams such as Bayern, Monaco and Seville.
What really made Fellaini famous was the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in the summer of 2008, the standard Lige match against Liverpool. Fellaini performed well in two rounds and lost in the second overtime.
However, Fellaini's performance still shocked European football. At this time, Fellaini was doomed to stay in this small place in Belgium. Finally, in the summer of 2008, he left Standard Lige and joined the mid-end team Everton of the Premier League. He signed a five-year contract with a transfer fee of 15 million pounds, breaking Egypt. The transfer fee record of the Furton Club.
Fellaini is also in Everton, and has gradually grown into the world's top star under Moyes' **. Fellaini, who is 1.94 meters tall, plays the back. Due to his excellent header, in addition to defensive responsibility, he often rushes into the opponent's penalty area to create chaos.
Fellaini has an amazing height of 1.94 meters. Generally speaking, this height is a little high as a boxtobox midfielder, but Fellaini is such a big midfield perpetual motion machine.
Fellaini's backball and header made him an important fulcrum in Everton's frontcourt attack in the future. This big man who can run and jump is simply unmatched in the air advantage. His backless opponents are often helpless. He is dominant in both penalty areas. Moreover, unlike most tall players, Fellaini's belt control technology is also very good, which should be regarded as a middle-to-high level, which is also due to the unique flexibility and coordination of North African players.
However, Fellani's characteristics did not want to become a second Vieira as predicted by him when he was a child. When he was on the court, he still relied more on his strong body to play football, and his style was destined not to be a commander-type player.
Although he can't play such a role as a commander, Fellaini is a standard midfield fighter who is not afraid of confrontation and can devote himself to every game. Such a player is exactly what the Belgian national team with Degan at the core needs.
However, there are also a lot of problems if he wants to recruit Fellaini to the national team. He has the dual nationality of Belgium and Morocco, and Morocco is the place where he was born. Degan also highlighted after the introduction of Fellaini: Do it as soon as possible!
Of course, Antienis also noticed the explosive man playing for Standard Liège, and also moved the idea of recruiting him to the national team to enhance the team's midfield defense.
However, although Fellaini is good in Antiennis's opinion, it is too irritable, but after reading the technical characteristics of Fellaini introduced by Digan, Antiennis found that his understanding of Fellaini is obviously not enough.
The second person highly recommended by Degan is Dembélé, the front midfielder of Alkmaar in the Netherlands. The most secure thing in Belgium now is the forward line, but the biggest problem is also the forward line.
Although Digan is a super shooter, once Digan is absent, no one can fill this position at all. The Mpanza brothers are famous players and meritorious figures of Belgian football, but when they are old, during the period when Digan was absent due to injury, the Mpanza brothers were entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Antiennis. I can't bear the banner of attack.
Dembélé is the partner that Degan has been looking for, a partner who can ambushed behind him to support him and hit the opponent's defense alone.
Speaking of which, Denbele is not an unknown junior. Although he is young and less than 20 years old, he was selected as the best player in a single season and the best goal owner after the end of last season.
Dembélé's physical flexibility is excellent. He is not only competent for the front waist, but also can play as a striker. His breakthrough ability in the Dutch League, which has always been outstanding in his personal ability, can also be called the top.
He has both passing vision and scoring ability. When he first landed in the Dutch League, his excellent performance even reminded people of Zidane's name.
Alkmaar finally finished third last season. The team relied on most on Dembélé, who scored 6 goals in 33 games.
In fact, after he scored 9 goals on behalf of William II in the 05/06 season, his talent has attracted the attention of many giants.
After joining Alkmaar, his performance quickly left a deep impression. In Alkmaar's first season, the young Malian descendant proved himself. This season, he played quite well, playing almost the whole season and scoring 6 goals, helping the team get a good third place in the league.
The Dutch scout net described Dembélé as follows: "Top players, skilled midfield engines, suitable for free agent positions, and perform particularly well as the No. 10 player between the midfield and the striker. He can complete the shot with both feet, which is difficult to stop.
Denberg plays the front waist, and it is very efficient to cut the ball from the left. This player is a pure offensive initiator, and his style of play, his calmness and ability to read the game make him look special.
In addition, Denbelle's speed is also quite fast, and the biggest problem now is that he needs to spend more time in the training room to make himself strong.
Denberg can skillfully control the ball with both feet, which makes him competent for any position in the front court. The erratic running position and excellent technical help made him omnipotent in the midfield. His combination of natural instinct and skillful technique also made him likened to the new Zidane.
Seeing that Degan's evaluation of Dembélé was so high, Antiennis couldn't believe his eyes. Although someone had recommended Dembélé to him, at that time, he felt that Dembélé was too young, and Belgium played defensive tactics. Purely skilled players like Dembélé had space to survive. Not big.
However, after reading Degan's introduction about Dembélé, Antiennis admitted that he was moved. If he could arrange such a player before the midfield and Degan, it might really have an unexpected effect.
The third player recommended on this list is Wiltongen, who currently plays for Ajax's central defender. Compared with Vermaren, Vertongen has greater plasticity. He is the same size as Stam. As long as he is a close defensive offensive player, the opponent can't move normally, and he is in corner kick tactics. The header is very powerful.
Although there is no shortage of people on Belgium's defense line because of Vermalen, Digan still recommended Vertongen. Antienis can feel that Digan really intends to have a major operation on the Belgian national team this time.
The fourth person recommended by Degan, Antienis, is also very familiar with it. It is the standard line of forward Defour, which is called "New Sifu" by the Belgian media.
In the 2005/06 season, he made his debut from Genk, and then began to be popular in the transfer market. Defour is characterized by fast start-up, broad vision, accurate long passes, and natural leadership. Before Digan joined Belgium, many experts believed that Defour would become the Belgian national team in the future. Core player.
As early as the summer of 2006, Ajax was eager to sign him for 6 million euros, but the player himself chose to exercise in the domestic standard Lige first, which obviously guaranteed him to participate in more first-team games in China.
Defour has also been selected for the national team before, but he has no experience of playing for Belgium. Antienis saw that Defour's legs were highly respected and obviously moved to recruit Defour to the national team next time.
The fifth person recommended by Degan is Witseke, who also plays for the Standard Rije team. He is very unfamiliar with the name Antiennis and has never heard of it at all. However, Degan's evaluation of Witsecker is very high, focusing on Witzek's speed and technology, as well as the transmission. Ability.
Now, Simmons and Buffer, the main players on both sides of the national team, are not young. Although their ability and experience are still valuable assets of Belgian football, they lack a capable substitute, so that the two veterans can only play overloaded games. Degan recommends Witessek, obviously for the future. Prepare.
The sixth person recommended by Digan surprised Antienis that he was actually a goalkeeper. The reason why he was surprised was that Proto, the current number one goalkeeper of the Belgian national team, was not very eye-catching, but he was stable, and the relationship between Proto and Digan was usually very good in private.
But when Digan recommended a new goalkeeper, he added a sentence at the end: Future Gate!
This player is Bayley, the main goalkeeper currently playing for the Belgian Genk team. Bayley has repeatedly performed well in a midstream team like Genk last season, giving Genk's fragile defense a strong barrier. Because of his amazing performance, he is often praised as "one man's battle" by fans.
Last season, a small team like Genk was able to win the second place in the league. Baili has made great achievements. Antienes has also inspected Baili before, but because Proto is very stable, he has never been interested in the new goalkeeper.
The seventh person recommended by Degan is Miralas, the striker who currently plays for Ligue 1 Lille, which shows how much Digan's dissatisfaction with the frontline configuration has reached.
Miralas became famous very early. In 2004, Miralas, who was only 17 years old, transferred from Belgium Standard Lige to Lille.
On May 7, 2005, he made his debut on behalf of Lille in Ligue 1 and scored a goal in the game to help the team defeat Paris Saint-Germain.
But for a long time after that, he failed to get the team's reuse, scoring only three goals in total for two seasons.
However, last season, due to Lille's weak attack, coach Puer finally decided to use Miralas. The young Belgian successfully replaced Dutch veteran Cruyvit and occupied the position of the team's main striker.
In Lille, Miralas can only be regarded as the team's third and fourth striker choice, but in the first half of this year, he was the unique offensive core of the Belgian team. This handsome man with Greek blood showed amazing talent in speed and skills, and scored goals for Israel and the Netherlands directly helped Help Belgium reach the Olympic finals without being optimistic.
In addition, England, Standard Liège's Martens and others, who are playing for Serie B Piacenza, have been on the list.
In Degan's plan, these people are the backbone of the Belgian national team in the future.
Degan knows very well that Belgian football will show a burst of talent in the future, but Degan can't wait so long. The change must be from now on. Even if it is because of the change, the Belgian team's performance will plump down in next year's European Cup, and even the team can't appear. Degan also admits it.
Digan's list has more than a dozen pages, and more than 40 players recommended to Antiennis. Many people have never even heard of it. If it is really like Digan's recommendation, isn't Belgium a big talent warehouse?
It looks like it's really going to change!
Antienes secretly made up his mind. Previously, he had not had a major operation on the national team because of the idea of estimating the old players, but now he can't. Looking back carefully, if it hadn't been for Degan, his national team would have won the German World Cup runner-up and advance to the European Cup. After the race, I'm afraid I've been kicked into a leaky spoon for a long time.
As Degan said, any change has a painful process. Since it will change sooner or later, why not change in advance before paying a heavy price?
"Rod! How did you get this list!?
To be honest, Antienes is unwilling to admit that this list was completely compiled by Degan alone, and there must be assistance from the side, because the information of each player recorded in this list and the analysis of technical characteristics are too detailed, just like the work of an old scout.
How did Degan answer?
He can't say that I was reborn. If you want to get along well in the future, quickly bow your head and kowtow. I will accept you as my younger brother.
"Coach! My agent is very good. You should know this, and I think as the captain of the Belgian national team, it seems reasonable for me to know the young players in my country!"
Digan can only push everything on Mendes. Anyway, before giving this list to Antienes, he has given a copy to Mendes. Anyway, he is his own agent. Naturally, you have to think about the benefits in advance.
It is estimated that Mendes is now trying to catch all the young talents in Degan's list.
Antiennis can only accept Degan's statement: "Okay! I believe, but Rod! How should we explain to those old players? After all, they also have credit for being able to make it to the European Cup next year!"
To be honest, Degan is going to do this. It's really a little suspected of killing donkeys, crossing the river and tearing bridges. He is also a little burdened, but he can't care about achieving his goal in the European Cup in the future: "If you feel embarrassed, I will stand up and explain it then!"
Let Degan stand up, and Antiennis immediately shook his head. This is absolutely not good. Degan is now the national hero of Belgium. The future Belgian national team must be a combination of new and old players. The sudden expulsion of so many old players will definitely cause dissatisfaction among veterans in the team. If others know, this It is Degan's head, which will affect Degan's authority in the team.
"No! Rod! Remember that this has nothing to do with you, and I will explain it to everyone!"
Although this will make Antiennis' situation difficult, Antiennis knows that in the national team, the authority of his head coach is not as good as Degan. As long as he can maintain Degan well, the unity of the locker room and maintain combat effectiveness will not be a problem at all.
What could Digan say about this? Although he nodded and agreed, Digan did not have the habit of letting others stand up for him.
At this moment, Belgium is celebrating its successful promotion to the European Cup. After missing the 2004 Portuguese European Cup, Belgium entered the finals again. For Belgium, it is definitely a celebration. Although Degan has been banned for three games, Belgium's future in next year's European Cup is not It's clear, but at this festive moment, no one will think about those annoying things.
Opening the curtains of the room and looking at the crowd still celebrating downstairs, Degan couldn't hide his excitement. At the beginning, Degan absolutely joined Belgian nationality. Degan was completely to be able to participate in international competitions and never thought about national honor or anything like that, although he had been trying to reconcile the conflict between Flemish and Walloons. Degan has repeatedly said the words of national honor, but in fact, he has never felt a sense of belonging to Belgium.
Probably this is the sadness of the traveler. Degan believes in his heart that he is a Chinese, but who can admit him?
For Brazil and Belgium, it's actually the same. Which national team Degan belongs to, to put it bluntly, it's all for himself.
But at this moment, looking at the people celebrating downstairs holding his poster high and cheering, Degan suddenly felt that he might really do something for these fans who supported him so that they could enjoy more happiness from the sport of football.
"Rod! What are you thinking about?"
I don't know when Irina entered the room. Degan looked back at Irina and smiled, "Now I suddenly feel really happy to be a hero!"
Irina was stunned and smiled. She came over and stroked Degan's handsome face and said, "Rod! You have always been a hero, and you have given these fans everything they want.
Digan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Really!? But I think it would be better if I could give them a championship trophy!"
Elina smiled when she heard the words: "Really? If it can really be achieved, maybe they will make him the king of Belgium!"
King?
It seems that Degan is now the king of Florence!
Thinking of Florence, Degan felt that it was time to go back to Italy!
Italy!
This is the place he is most eager to conquer at present!
