Chapter 170 Warm-up match
After the warm-up match with Sweden, although the final result was good, Degan also found some problems in the game. The young Belgian Red Devils did fight fiercely, but they lacked efficiency. In the warm-up match, such defects may be difficult to be reflected, but once the European Cup comes, These problems are likely to be fatal.
After the game, Antiennis also found these problems and held an intra-team meeting, repeatedly highlighting some problems that have already arisen.
In the next few days, Belgium spent the group attack and defense drills, which was able to bring the Nordic pirates away, which made the young people in Belgium very excited, and the previous doubts were much smaller.
Then, before the opening of the European Cup, Belgium ushered in their second warm-up match against Macedonia. Such a warm-up match is obviously of no value. The only Macedonian player who can play is only Pandev, who plays for Lazio, and some of the remaining players are still half Professionally, choosing this opponent is obviously to find confidence for young people in Belgium.
The course of the game, as expected, only five minutes after the start of the game, Miralas received a cross from Martens and headed through the Macedonian goal.
In this game, the only thing Antienes emphasized before the game was the efficiency of passing the ball. Judging from the process of the first goal, Belgian young people obviously began to pay attention to these problems, making football run faster as fast as possible while reducing mistakes.
Of course, there is another more critical thing, that is, it can be injured!
Before the start of the competition, the ups and downs did not happen in international football. Zidane and Figo of the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup were tragic in the warm-up match before the start of the game. What's more tragic is that Cisonne was kicked off by Chinese player Zheng Zhi before the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Legs, he could only wave his handkerchief and bid farewell to his first World Cup trip.
Digan can't appear in the group stage because of the suspension, which has already given Antiennis a headache. If another player is injured before the start of the game, he will really hit the wall.
So in this game, most of the players on the field of the Belgian team played more implicitly, except for one person, that is Fellaini.
Even in a warm-up match, even against a pressure-free opponent like Macedonia, he still showed mad dog-like courage on the court.
When he played the warm-up match on behalf of Belgium for the first time, the irritable boy has now been completely reborn. This season, he has also been reused in the club. With the accumulation of competition experience, his talent has been completely developed, fiercely interception, and the strong blow outside the door outside the penalty area, making him He became the most shining star in Belgian football at the end of the season.
Some media have conducted a survey that Fellaini has become the favorite player of Belgian fans after he has become Degan, and may even surpass Degan.
Compared with Degan, who has always been very low-key outside the court, Fellaini, a Moroccan descendant with a flamboyant personality and a hot temperament, is obviously more suitable to become an idol of young people.
In this warm-up match, the Belgian team's second goal was scored by Fellaini. After two unsuccessful attempts to hit the goal outside the penalty area, Fellaini finally knocked on the Macedonian goal on the third attempt.
After scoring, Fellaini looked very excited. Although it was a warm-up match and facing a standard fish brisket force like Macedonia, this was the first goal he scored on behalf of Belgium.
Digan off the court was also happy for Fellaini's performance. In his opinion, the big man was finally enlightened.
not only performed well on the defensive end, but also can seize the opportunity and intervene decisively in the offensive. If he can also perform in the group stage after the opening of the European Cup, the Belgian team will have a greater chance of appearing in the group.
Shortly after Fellani scored, Miralas succeeded in offside and shot the next city. This Greek descendant has never been a high-yielding scorer in Ligue 1 and didn't expect that there would be two in this game.
Degan is also surprised. In the group stage, Miralas will replace him as the team's single arrow. If he can play well, it will certainly be great news for Belgium.
The game continues, and Antiennis is also frequently dispatching troops. In addition to Degan, even the team's third goalkeeper Mignette has been given the opportunity to play. Antienis did this to allow more players to adjust their bodies to the best.
After all, a busy season has just ended, and anyone will feel tired. How to adjust yourself to the rhythm of the game is very important.
In the second half, dembélé's goal helped Belgium secure the victory. After receiving a pass from Gul outside the penalty area, he broke into the penalty area and scored.
After the game, Degan became the busiest person again. Antiennis, who was supposed to sing the protagonist in front of reporters, took the players to summarize the game. Degan, who had no game task, became a big idle person.
"The game is good, and my teammates deserve applause. Of course, we should be more grateful to the Macedonian team. The last warm-up opportunity before the European Cup is over. Next, we should focus all our energy on the European Cup. I know that I can't play for the team in the group stage. It's also a pity, but there's nothing I can do, but I believe that my teammates are also very young and excellent. Most importantly, they all have a strong heart, which is what I want to see most. I don't know and don't want to predict what will happen in the group stage. I can tell you. Only, I believe in my teammates, who will definitely show me on the stage of the European Cup!"
Degan now has no choice but to trust and entrust his fate to others. Degan doesn't like this feeling very much, but at present, he can only be a bystander.
"The last thing I want to say is that I know that some people in Belgium are questioning the list for this European Cup, but now we don't need anyone to question it. What we need is the support of the fans to keep Belgian football moving forward. It is not only our responsibility. The fans and the media also shoulder this. A responsibility!"
