Chapter 175 The First Time in England

After the first round of the group stage of the European Cup, except for Italy's three-goal defeat to the Netherlands, it is not too unpopular. Basically, they should win. All of them have won. If they don't win, they are also weak.

There was no time to rest, followed by the second round of the game. Group A was the first to fight. Turkey faced the host Switzerland, as well as Belgium and the Czech Republic.

The day before the game, the Belgian team's training ground was a little tense. Fellaini, who got a red card in the last game, was assigned to the substitute, which was a little surprising to replace him.

It's not Witessek predicted by the media, but England!

Degan is doing warm-up training alone as usual. He doesn't have to participate in this kind of group confrontation exercise. It's not that he wants to be lazy, but Antienes is afraid that he will be injured.

"Rod!" Antienes waved to Degan.

Digan heard the words and ran towards Antienes: "Coach! What can I do for you?"

Degan seemed very relaxed. He couldn't play in the group stage, but he was so nervous that he tossed his insomnia, which didn't help the team.

Antienes stared at the training ground with his eyes and frowned slightly: "Rod! Radga doesn't seem to have adapted to his position yet!"

Digan is also very clear about England's current situation. He plays in a sideline position in Piacenza, but in the national team, he has become a small accomplice around Gul. Although Digan knows that England eventually became famous in the midfield and midfield position, so far, he has not realized his own A kind of potential.

Na England on the training ground is obviously a little constrained and can't let go of his hands and feet. When defending, it's not bad. There is a veteran Gul around him. His defensive pressure is not very high, and he runs very actively. Although he is not as good as Fellaini's physical beast, Na England is very smart and knows how to save his body. If possible, make his defensive area cover a larger area.

In this regard, England has made great progress, at least much better than when he first came to the national team.

However, the attack that Digan and Antiennis expected did not show it at all. According to Antiennis' tactical arrangement, England should become a very important point in the team's attack. England has a long-range shot, especially in the 45-degree position outside the penalty area. .

However, now the boy seems to have forgotten his weapon, or is worried about making mistakes. He always shrinks behind, and even the full-time defensive midfielder Gul is more forward than him.

"That boy seems to be too cautious!"

Na England has such a performance, and Degan also understands it. After all, it is a new position, and he is a newcomer in the national team. He is worried about making mistakes and afraid that he will cause the team to lose the ball.

But~~~~~~~~

"Radga!" Degan suddenly shouted, "Cry it up!" Are you going to hide behind to watch the play?

On the training ground, the main side was attacking. Dembélé received a side pass from Martens and was about to break through. Villetonheng pressed it out at the first time. Miralas on the penalty area line was stared at by veteran Hoykens. Dembélé grabbed the ball and there was no receiving point around him.

Degan's roar stunned all the players on the training ground, and England, who was still in the middle line, trembled. In the locker room that day, Degan scolded Fellaini and Dembéry, which was still fresh in his memory.

Attack!?

Na England was cruel and rushed to the half-court of the substitute side. After the football passed through Simmons' excess, it passed to his feet. Na England shouted and shot directly from the goal.

When he was in Piacenza, he played on the left side, but he was not strong, not fast, and his skills were not outstanding. There were almost no highlights. The only thing he could handle was this kind of long-range shot from the back. This is his specialty. His long-range shot does not pay attention to strength, but chasing Find the angle and drop the far post directly.

England's long-range arc was very large, and Bayley was caught off guard and hurriedly retreated towards the far post. However, how could the speed of the man be faster than the football? He could only do his best to lean back and stretch his arms to get the ball out.

Bang!

England's long-range shot was very wonderful, but unfortunately, his luck was a little worse. He hit the far post and bounced back.

"Very good! Radga! Just like this, you are a part of the team's attack. Don't be afraid of losing the ball. If you see the opportunity, you have to suppress it! Do you understand?"

Although the ball did not score, England's attack just now was very smart, which probably had something to do with his constant side position. Although he didn't make a long shot, he also played very well.

When England heard Degan's praise, the original tension was swept away and became excited.

So I can too!

Previously, England couldn't help but feel inferior to anyone in the national team. His teammates, including superstars like Degan, as well as Compani and Van Bitten, who played for giants, and other teammates also played for well-known teams at home and abroad, except for him, a small role from Serie B. Even in Piacenza, he is not the absolute main force.

Originally, he was a little shy, coupled with this inferiority, which made him spend every day in the national team tremblingly. He was afraid that his little mistake would disqualify him from participating in such an international competition.

But now, with this tension swept away, Na England began to look forward to his future in the national team. In the last two days of training, he has been placed on the main side. Na England is very clear that he is likely to become the main force of the team in the next game against the Czech Republic.

In the past two days, England has been tormented by this matter and can't even sleep well. He is not only looking forward to it, but also a little worried.

Because it has lost to Turkey, the team has now been forced to a dead end. In the face of this game against the Czech Republic, it can no longer lose. Once there is another problem, Belgium will have to pack up and go home.

Na England is looking forward to fighting for his country and representing Belgium in this life-and-death battle, but he is worried about whether he can cope with this crucial game. In case the team loses the game because of his mistake, he doesn't know if he will have the courage to stand on the court in the future.

But now, with this long-range shot, all the worries have been shattered, as if they had passed a difficult time, and all the problems have been solved.

Andiernis was also a little surprised: "That boy seems to be enlightened!?"

After the attack just now, England has indeed changed. It is still as conscientious and active in defense. Although his positive defensive ability is still not good, his attitude is very good. He often defends like cowhide candy, and he can win time for his teammates to return to attack. , also began to dare to plug in. When it was time to shoot, it was so soft that he completely changed into a person.

"If he can perform like this in tomorrow's game, our chances will be greater!"

The reason why Antienis did not hesitate to agree when Digan recommended Na England to replace Fellaini is also because of Na England's vertical impact ability. Although Na England is not strong, this Indonesian descendant has excellent physical strength and outstanding running ability.

Fellaini, a midfield meat grinder, can't play the gate in front of the defense line. The first thing to do is to enhance the defense ability of the midfield. Witseyk's attack ability is very strong, but his defensive strength is much worse. In fact, Antienenis's choice is only one England. Lan's position as the main force is also a gamble. If he wins the bet, everything is fine. If he loses, he will be doomed to wait for Antiennis.

The day comes, and the match between Belgium and the Czech Republic will still be held in Geneva. Before this match, Turkey and Switzerland will have to compete first.

Although the Swiss team has the advantage of home, after seeing Turkey's performance in the last game, it is estimated that no one will think that they have a chance to defeat the Star and Moon Legion. It can be said that as the host, the fate of the Swiss team has been basically determined.

The only suspense in Group A is who can get the second ticket for the elimination in the Czech Republic and Belgium.

Before going to the stadium, Antienes announced the starting list of this game. The goalkeeper was still Bayley. Although he lost two goals in the last game, it was not his responsibility to lose those two goals. It can be said that without Bayley, Belgium would have lost worse in the last game.

From left to right in the back defense line are still Lombards, Compani, Wilmaren and Van Bitten. In the previous match with Turkey, Belgium has three lines, and the best performance is the rear defense. Although there are not many opportunities to assist on the two sides, the defense is very stable.

The only adjustment in the midfield is that England replaced the suspended Fellaini, and the other three are Simmons, Gul and Martens.

Miralas still rushed forward on the front line, and Dembele dragged on. In the last game, the two had formed a tacit understanding. Although Digan was furious after the end of the game, he had to admit that Miralas and Dembélé were the best dedication choices for the Belgian team at present.

When England heard that he was the main force, although he had been psychologically prepared, he couldn't help but be a little nervous and excited when he heard Antiennis's personal announcement. This was the first time he played for the national team in an international competition!
