Chapter 199 There is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey dominates
Belgium, Turkey, Russia and Spain!
The top four of the 2008 European Cup have been born. Germany, France and Italy have fallen one after another, and new forces have taken the opportunity to rise. This European Cup is destined to give birth to a new European hegemon.
After a three-day truce, Belgium vs Turkey will take the lead in the first game of the semi-finals. The two teams have met in the group stage before. At that time, Turkey reversed their victory by 2:1, but now facing Belgium again, their opponents are obviously different.
Belgium with Degan certainly cannot be defined as a second-rate level in Europe, especially after defeating Germany in the quarter-finals, saying that they are a world-class strong team will not be refuted.
The strength of the opponent is only one aspect. The Turks do not lack the courage to fight, but the dilemma of their lack of major generals is indeed a problem that cannot be avoided.
However, Turkey does not feel depressed about the plight encountered by the team. They are still full of confidence in the future. The Turks who have made history are now aiming at greater glory. Belgium with Degan is indeed very strong, but they are not afraid. They have begun to consider the final match. Hands.
But when the Turks were looking forward to the finals, they were hit again. Nihat, who was previously injured, has been diagnosed and will definitely miss the rest of the European Cup.
Trim was originally praying for a miracle, but now he can only face the reality. Nihat missed the semi-finals due to injury. For Turkey's head coach Trim, this semi-final will be extremely difficult.
Because there are not many players he can use in the team's 23-man list. Emre and Nihat, who were injured after the first game, were both absent due to injury. Tongchai, Turan, Emre and Asik were absent due to the accumulation of two yellow cards. In the victory over the Czech team, the goalkeeper Demi was sent off with a red card for pushing his opponent. Rael was suspended for two games, and it is also doubtful whether several of the team's generals Celsetin, Belozoglu, Mejing and Ackerman can play in the semi-finals.
Although Trim faces the dilemma of being stretched out of troops, the tenacious and courageous character of the Turks has always been an important condition for them to occupy a place in Europe. Whether they can inspire all their fighting spirit and combat effectiveness in the semi-finals will be the key to their victory.
In the 1996 European Cup final, German substitute goalkeeper Kahn sat on the bench wearing a normal match suit instead of a goalkeeper suit. Because the German team was full of wounded soldiers, Kahn may play as a striker, midfielder or defender at any time.
12 years later, this scene is about to be repeated, and the Turkish team is ready to let the substitute goalkeeper play in the non-goal position.
Trim can only say helplessly: "We don't have the right to choose players according to our own wishes."
Convered players from China?
UEFA will definitely not allow it.
The Turkish team came to St. Jacques Park Stadium in Basel, Switzerland, for pre-match training on the evening before the game. The last exercise before the game was only open to the media for 15 minutes, and the players only had a simple physical stretching training. The "big dark horse" is still deliberately kept mysterious.
Due to injury, the current situation of the Turkish team is worrying. No wonder the outside world is generally optimistic that the Belgian team led by Digan will pass smoothly. However, Centuk, who scored a key equalization after playing as a substitute in the last round, said: "Everyone thinks that Germany will win, which will only increase our motivation."
Due to Nihat's absence, Centuk is almost certain to appear as the main striker, and he is almost the only defender Gorkan who can play well in the competition. Zan also said with backbone, "Even if there are only 11 people left to participate in the competition, nothing can stop us from finally winning the championship!"
On the day of the war, even if the arrangement of troops was overstretched, Turkish coach Trim still said at the pre-match press conference that he had confidence in his players. Turkey was reversed and won the final victory, especially against the Czech Republic and Croatia. The tenacious perseverance of the Star and Moon Legion is amazing.
In the face of Belgians who aim to revenge, Trim said: "Everyone has the ability to create miracles, but I don't believe in miracles. Einstein once said that there are only two ways to survive. One is that there is no miracle at all, the other is that everything is a miracle, and I am the first person, if If a team does not accept the fate of defeat and keeps fighting to the end, the victory will belong to them sooner or later."
Without being favored by the outside world, the Turkish team advanced to the top four. Like the 2002 World Cup, they created another small miracle, and Trim is also very proud of this.
"When people recall the 2008 European Cup, they will remember us. At first, no one was optimistic about us, but now they are all shocked. The players are playing with their will. We now have another goal, which is to win the final championship."
"I know that many people don't think there is any suspense in this semifinal, especially the Belgians." In the face of provocative questions from reporters, Turkish "Emperor" Trim gave a head-on response, "I like the feeling of not being favored, and my players also like to play in this relaxed state. For Switzerland, no one believes that we can let the host go home, for the Czech Republic, no one believes that we can qualify in the group, and for Croatia, let alone that we can reach the semi-finals. Well, let's watch this semi-final. No one believes that we can beat Belgium again. That's good~~~~~~ I just want to surprise everyone!"
There was something in Trim's words, and a pair of eagle eyes frightened all the reporters present.
Trim admitted that the team was full of wounded soldiers and several players were suspended from playing: "Now it is certain that only 14 people can play, so, gentlemen, if you want to know, I can announce the starting lineup now."
Trim's words amused everyone, but as soon as he changed his words, he immediately raised the Turkish team's own prestige: "It's very difficult to be unorganized, but in this kind of game, fighting spirit and spirit are the most important. The more difficult the situation, the more the Turks can exert their energy. Compared with the Belgian team, we have our own advantages.
Trim believes that the biggest capital of his team now is confidence: "Our goal is to advance*, and we have at least 50% chance. Belgium's victory over Germany is beautiful, but they once lost to us in the group stage, but it's not good.
When the reporter reminded Trim that Digan could not play in that game because of the suspension, Trim sneered and said, "Can we decide that he was banned? No one can deny our great achievements because of a certain player, and I don't think whether he plays or not will have much effect on the result!"
Trim despised Degan, and these words immediately reached Degan's ears through the reporter's mouth. After hearing it, Degan was stunned for a minute before he sneered and said, "That old man must be crazy. Now I hope that Turkey can fight with the strongest lineup. In that case, after I kill them, that The old man can't even find an excuse! All right! Bastards! Get out of here now. You can publish the tickets to * in the newspaper. Belgium has booked in advance. As for the Turks, their European Cup is over. Their only task now is to have an exhibition match and get out of here!"
After saying that, Degan went straight to the bus. Head coach Antiennis has set out early to attend the press conference. Now he is the boss on the bus.
"Guys! I want to express my dissatisfaction to you!"
As soon as Degan opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the car became tense, and no one could forget the scene where Degan turned on a hairdryer in the locker room after the game with Turkey, which made Fellaini couldn't help crying.
Digan ignored the expressions of his teammates and just said to himself, "What I'm not satisfied with is that you lost in the group match with Turkey, which is completely unforgivable. Now the coach of the Turkish team, even the old man named Trim, believes that since he can kill Belgium once, he can also do it. Belgium for the second time, I don't know what you think about it!"
Just as Fellaini was about to speak, he was interrupted by Degan: "Shut up, Mr. Fellaini, your performance in that game was a bastard! I don't want to hear you say, I just want to see how you play on the court! In this game, we have no other choice but to win. Otherwise, what will happen? I think you can imagine that the winning Turks will be promoted to the altar by those bastard media, and they will be regarded as heroes and worshipped by people all over the world, because They killed us with only one remnant array.
Digan turned around and said, "And what about us? What will happen to us? We will become a complete loser in people's eyes, a big villain killed by a warrior on the way forward. I don't want to be like this. If that happens, it will be a nightmare. Many years later, people may forget the winner of this European Cup, but they will definitely remember how the Turks are In the case of being injured and full of camp, kill us. What we have to do now is to avoid such a situation. What should we do? Think about it now. There is not much time left for us. If anyone feels that they can't withstand this pressure, they can opt out. I will only take real soldiers to participate. This game!"
After saying that, Digan sat down, closed his eyes and thought about anything that might happen in the game. In his memory, the semi-final was between Turkey and the Germans. In the end, although the Turks lost, they scored two goals in the game, forcing the German team into a mess. Almost lost the game, and the tenacity of the Turkic iron riders can be seen.
Degan doesn't want Belgium to fulfill the Turkish championship dream, so he has to face up to the tenacious qualities of the Turks. As Trim said, Turkish self-confidence is their advantage.
However, Degan is still very confident about such a game. Although he has to face his opponent, the Turkish madness finally comes down to his eyes, just one sentence: there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey dominates!
So what if he lost the group match to Turkey? That's because he is not on the field. Now that he has ended the suspension, it's time to ask the Turks to collect debts.
The bus arrived at the court. After the adaptive training, the whole team came to the locker room. At this time, Antienes also arrived. Looking at his face, you can see that the psychologist was ridiculed by the stinky old man Trim at the press conference.
Belgium's starting lineup in this game is the same as when facing the Germans. The only change is that Antienis asked Degan to withdraw his position later and move between Bolette and Dembélé to take on more offensive tasks.
Turkey's starting list has also been obtained. After watching it, Degan couldn't help laughing bitterly at Trim. It was really a remnant.
The goalkeeper will be Rustu, and the defender Sabri on the defensive line has changed to a full-back. The centre-back combination is Zan partner Topal, and the other full-back is the original centre-back Barta. Midfielder Aurelio returned from the fire line and plays in the back position. In front of him are Ugur and Ackerman, and the two full-backs are Grand Altento. Pu and Kazim, the striker only has a lonely Sentuk, as for Turkey's number one star Hakan. Suke can only serve as a substitute in this game, and he was also diagnosed with a hidden disease before the game.
Digan could see that Trim was going to fight back, but he did admire Trim's courage. Even in this dilemma, he still couldn't forget the attack and put Big Altendop and Qazim in the position of the front guard.
Digan can also imagine that Trim must be in the Turkish team's locker room at this moment, blushing, staring and cheering his players hoarsely.
At this time, courage is obviously more important than technology and tactics for the Turks. The same Turkish team's only chance to cross Belgium's level is to overwhelm Belgium in momentum.
However, it is obvious that Trim will be disappointed.
Looking at the time, it's time to appear.
Degan got up and looked very relaxed: "How about it? Guys! Have you all thought about it?"
All the Belgian players looked up at Degan. What Degan said in the car just now did make them feel a sense of crisis. If they really lost to Turkey, these old men would not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
So~~~~~~~~
"Let the Turks go home!"
