Chapter 190 Old is Old

On the Belgian team's training ground, the atmosphere in the team has become very different from the previous days, not only because of the group qualifying, but more importantly, Degan finally came back.

After three suspensions, Degan can finally play on behalf of the Belgian team. From training, teammates can feel that Degan is like a tiger out of the cage. He can only watch three consecutive games on the wall, and Degan is about to explode.

Fellaini! Can't run? Don't let me see you stop! Run! Run!"

Fellaini's bitter face has been more than half an hour since the beginning of training. Degan's mouth has not stopped, and his eyes have been staring at him. As long as he is a little slack, he will immediately be scolded by Degan loudly.

Fellaini is also hot-tempered. It's not that he doesn't want to refute, but he doesn't dare at all. In the Belgian team, if Antienis is the king, then Degan is the emperor above the king.

In the Belgian team, Degan's words are orders, and no one can refute it, even the veterans in the team.

"I think Rod should be stopped. In this case, I can't guarantee that we will have enough players to play tomorrow's game!" Assistant coach Francois looked worried.

Originally, today's plan was to prepare for restorative training. After all, the players just finished three group matches, and the players needed to rest, and their physical functions also needed to be adjusted, but Degan had different opinions. In the end, Degan won, and the restorative training turned into a group confrontation exercise.

"Don't worry, old man! Rod knows that that guy is very shrewd. Antienis is not worried at all. He trusts Degan 100%.

François smiled helplessly and said, "Okay! Since you say so, what else can I say!"

After saying that, François suddenly became worried again and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Old friend, I remember that your contract with the Football Association only ends in the European Cup. Haven't they discussed with you about renewing the contract?"

When Francois asked about this, the smile on his face disappeared. It was originally agreed that as long as the group qualified, they would get a contract renewal, but until now, the Belgian Football Association has not made any action.

And there are also rumors that the Belgian Football Association seems to intend to invite a so-called famous coach to lead the Belgian team to move forward.

What can Antienes do about this: "Maybe the Football Association has other ideas!"

When Francois heard the words, he was suddenly upset and said angrily, "Don't think about it, those bastard bureaucrats, they don't know football at all!"

Andiernis smiled bitterly: "Old man! If you really leave the Belgian national team, where are you going?

François said, "What else can I think of? Of course, I will continue to follow you. If we can go further in the European Cup, are we afraid that we can't find a job?"

When Antienes heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. After working with Francois for so many years, he has been used to having such an assistant and friend around him: "In fact, Francois, with your ability and qualifications, you can actually coach a team alone!"

François rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to face those bureaucrats at the press conference, or follow you more easily. Old friend, don't you want to leave me and find someone else to be your assistant!"

François's resentful eyes made Antiennis laugh and cry: "Of course not, but if you change a team, I'm afraid you won't meet such an excellent player as Rod!"

Degan on the training ground did not know that there were two people on the sidelines who were worried about their future and fate. Now his mind is full of how to kill the German chariots that stood in his way.

After training in the morning, as soon as Degan walked out of the training ground and was ready to follow the whole team back to the hotel, he was surrounded by reporters. After the suspension, Degan became Belgium's most shining star player again.

The focus of the reporters' questions is, of course, Belgium's preparations and the German team they need to face in the next game.

"Now the atmosphere in the team is very good. After a hard group stage, we have now reached the knockout stage and will face new challenges. I want to thank my teammates for their excellent performance that has given me the opportunity to play in the European Cup."

After the group stage, the final ranking of Belgium's group was indeed shocking. Belgium lost 1:2 in the first game to Turkey, defeated the Czech Republic 2:1 in the second game, and defeated the host Switzerland 3-0 in the last game, with two wins and one loss in three games, six points and three goal difference, ranking first in the group.

The Turkish team reversed Belgium by 2:1 in the first game and Switzerland by 3:1 in the second game. Although it lost to the Czech Republic in the last game by 1:2, it got two goals with two wins and one loss in three games and six points.

The Czech team defeated the host Switzerland 1-0 in the first game and lost to Belgium 1:2 in the second game. Although the group defeated Turkey 2:1 in the last game, it was also two wins and one loss in three games, but there was only one goal difference and was finally eliminated.

"The group stage is very difficult, but I am confident that we can make the game easier in the next game. The German team used to be very strong, but now their state can only prove that they are old, really old! We are confident that we can defeat them!"

This is not the first time that Digan said that German football is old. When he was still playing for AC Milan, Degan said the same thing before the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, which also attracted protests from German football emperor Beckenbauer and famous Rumenig.

Now more than two years have passed, and in Degan's eyes, German football is still synonymous with old age, without any change.

And from Degan's words, it is not difficult to feel that Degan's strong self-confidence will not feel that Degan is arrogant, because everyone knows that Belgium with Degan and Belgium without Degan are completely two different teams. If the Belgian team in the previous group stage can only be For the second-class in Europe, then after the return of Degan, the European Red Devils will rejoin the ranks of the world's first-class strong teams, which is the role of stars and flags.

From other Belgian players, reporters did not dare to feel the change in self-confidence. What brought them was not the group qualifying, but the return of Degan.

Degan thinks that German football is old, and the Germans naturally want to refute it. Barak, the captain of the team, said: "We will let that arrogant guy know that German football is so powerful that he will find out how stupid his ideas are!"

At the end of this season, Barak's Chelsea was eliminated by Fiorentina led by Degan in the Champions League semi-finals. At that time, after the second round of the competition between the two teams, Barack said that he was very unconvinced by the result, and now he has a chance to revenge.

"In the next game, that Brazilian can't get a point from us. We will turn his European Cup debut into a disaster!"

German defense backbone Mert Sak also said: "We don't worry about the match with Belgium at all. They will never be our opponents. Degan is very confident. This is good. It will make the game more interesting, but the result of the game will not change. Our goal is the final champion, a small Little Belgium will not be an obstacle to us!"

The German team's current top scorer, Podolski, who has scored three goals, directly challenged Degan: "I will let everyone see who is the master of this game. If Degan wants to win in front of us, it is delusional!"

Okay!

Degan's words successfully aroused the anger of the Germans and made the game more and more interesting.

Digan is very confident, but the general opinion is that the German chariot will enter the semi-finals. The reasons given are also sufficient. First of all, the Germans have always had a slow habit in the competition, and their nerves are strong enough to make them face any challenge, and the second is the young players in the Belgian team. There are too many, and young players account for more than half of the first 11 players, and the lack of experience will become an irreparable disadvantage, even Degan. So far, he has not made an appearance in the European Cup, and the same experience is zero.

For the unanimous bad-mouthing of the outside world, Degan responded at the first time: "The football game is not a mathematical problem, nor is it as simple as one plus one equals two. If you just need to calculate to analyze the final result, there is no need to play this game at all. Send the Drone Cup directly to the Germans. Just do it. The result of the game will appear in 90 minutes. At that time, you people will definitely be surprised!"

Degan's self-confidence seems unreasonable, but people dare not refute it. It turns out that every time people look down on Degan, they can only hit themselves in the face.

Since Degan has said so, let's wait for the final result.

However, people are looking forward to seeing Degan's unlucky appearance, because he has been proud enough. If he really won the Delaone Cup, I'm afraid no one can stop him from crowning the championship.

In the battle between Belgium and Germany, people still need to wait patiently for a period of time. A battle that started in the quarter-finals has ignited the war. As the two largest dark horses in this European Cup, they will have a face-to-face battle. Croatia and Turkey, who can win to the end will soon meet one I know.
