Chapter 90 Belgium Collection
Degan's alternative way of confession shocked people all over the world. The next day in the newspaper, in addition to large-scale reports that Florence won the first three consecutive championships after winning the Champions League, the love story of Degan and Park Ji-yeon has also become the subject of various media to report.
To the surprise of the reporters, Degan did not return to Florence with the large army, but went directly to Belgium, making the reporters ambushed in Florence empty.
Digan didn't even participate in Florence's championship celebration!?
This diluted the joy of Florence fans' successful defense of the sixth championship in an instant. People know that Degan's departure from Florence is irreparable.
With the departure of Degan, the dynasty established by Florence through four seasons may also collapse. While Fiorentina fans are sad about this reality, fans of other teams are secretly overjoyed.
Digan left Florence, so that they don't have to face the horrible purple lily every season.
"This should have been a moment of celebration, but unfortunately, I can't be happy. I don't understand why Rod had to leave! This is too bad. He is our captain and our hero. We all hope he can change his mind. Although I know it's difficult, I still hope that he can lead us forward next season!"
"Dravalai and Pakinwa should go to hell. They forced our captain away. They will destroy the great Florence. It's crazy. They do whatever they want. They want to drive everyone away. Our captain, our head coach, it should really be those two moths!"
"I can't imagine what Florence would look like without coach Rod and Prandelli. This should have been the greatest day in the history of Florence, but we had to accept the pain of losing the captain and head coach!"
The vast majority of Florentine fans expressed disappointment and sadness that Degan could not return to Florence to participate in the championship celebration. It was originally a festive moment, but it became a little sad because of Degan's absence.
Especially when Delaware and Pakinva appeared at the championship celebration in Florence, the sadness and disappointment of the fans instantly turned into anger.
"Drava, get out of here! Pakinwa, get out of here!"
There was no cheer. The fans shouted slogans, which made Delaware's face turn pale. He desperately grabbed the microphone and shouted at the fans: "I was the one who made Florence reborn. I shouldn't be treated like this!"
But his shout did not calm the fans down. The leader of a fan group rushed to the front and shouted, "It is Rod and Prandelli who lead Florence to glory, as well as our players. What are you?" Get out of Florence. Florence doesn't need you, the president of an asshole!"
In the face of angry fans, Delalai and Pakinwa were afraid. Perhaps they are now regretting why they moved and let Degan leave.
But it's too late to regret. Although Delaware came to try to contact Zahavi, hoping to make Digan change his mind and stay in Florence through Zahavi, Digan did not give them this opportunity at all.
According to Zahavi, "The opportunity has been given to you for a long time, but you don't know how to cherish it at all!"
Drava also wants to portray Degan as a person who can betray everything for money through the media, but the effect is not obvious.
That's right!
The condition for Degan to renew his contract is indeed a salary increase, but most fans feel that Degan's request is not too much. After all, Degan's contribution to Florence is there, and a super player is qualified for a super contract, which is understandable.
Florence's championship celebration eventually turned into a riot, because Degan was about to leave, angry fans besieged the office building of the Florence Club, and then besieged the residences of Delaware and Paginwa.
The Florence municipal government had to send a large number of police forces, and it took several days to control the situation, but who should heal the scars in the hearts of Florence fans?
On the third day after the riot subsided, Degan also published an open letter on his personal Twitter, saying goodbye to all the Florentine fans.
"I'm very sorry, really sorry that I thought about dying in Florence, but something happened that broke my plan. I don't want to blame anyone. This is my own decision. When I feel that I am no longer an indispensable member of Florence in the eyes of some people, that At that time, I was ready to leave. I like the city of Florence very much. I have gained a lot and made many friends here, but now I have to say goodbye. I hope I can get the understanding of the fans. Goodbye! Florence! Goodbye! All the fans who support me!"
After Degan's open letter was published, fans in Florence left messages one after another. They all hoped to persuade Degan to change his mind, but that was impossible.
Digan has never been a hesitant and wavering person. Once a decision is made, he will never change again.
Florence has now become a stop where Degan is about to say goodbye to his career, and he will continue to walk forward without hesitation to welcome greater glory.
Now, the most important thing for Degan is not Florence, but the upcoming World Cup. In the 2006 World Cup, Degan brought Belgium to the final stage by himself.
But this process also drained all of Degan's energy and scarred him. Finally, as Degan left early in the final, Belgium missed the best time to reach the top.
Now, the stage of the World Cup is about to open again, and the opportunity for Degan and Belgium has come again. Compared with four years ago, Belgium has also become stronger this time. It is no longer the team that can only rely on Degan alone four years ago. This time, Degan has a group of teammates to rely on.
On the third day after Degan's arrival in Belgium, the Belgian Football Association announced the list of 23 people for the European Red Devils to play in the World Cup in South Africa.
The goalkeepers are: Proto (Andelecht), Courtois (Genke) and Mignolet (Liverpool).
veteran Proto was selected. As expected, although his main position in the national team has long been guaranteed, he is fully qualified to occupy a place in the 23-person list with his reputation and contribution to Belgian football.
Although Miiolet can only be a substitute for Reina in Liverpool, he was the main goalkeeper of Belgium in the previous Intercontinental Cup. On this trip to South Africa, he is likely to continue to defend the city gate for Belgium.
On the contrary, the young player Kurtua was selected, which is very surprising. It was Bayley, the winner of the 2008 European Cup, who was replaced by him. After Bayley's transfer to Nuremberg in the Bundesliga, Kurtua took the position of Genk team's No. 1 goalkeeper at a young age, and his performance in the last two seasons has indeed been excellent.
"God! At first, I thought someone was pranking with me. It's crazy. I can go to the World Cup. This has always been my dream, and now my dream has come true!"
Bayley, the former Belgian main goalkeeper who lost the election, is getting worse and worse after the transfer to Nuremberg, and it is expected that he will lose the election.
The defense line is: Lombards (Zenit St. Petersburg), Poconioli (Alkmaar), Van Bitten (Bayern Munich), Alderweirelde (Ajax), Vermaren (Arsenal), Vertongen (Ajax), Compani (Florence), Vandenbole ( Portsmouth).
The selection of young player Aldvedeld in the list is another unexpected result, but his performance in Ajax this season is also obvious. After the list was announced, some media even began to predict that the young player is very likely to replace Van Biten in the World Cup in South Africa and become the national team. The main player.
"It has always been my dream to represent the national team in the World Cup. This is great. What makes me most happy is that I have the opportunity to become a teammate with Degan. He is my idol, yes! Idol! I admire him very much!"
There is no surprise in the midfield position, which are: Fellaini (Florence), Naengland (Cagliari), Dembélé (Everton), Defour (Standard Ligis), Witsel (Standard Ligis), Martens (Alkmaer), Simmons (Einhoven), De Bruyne (Genck) .
Gur, the vice captain of the Belgian national team, was not selected as expected. After all, Gour is old and has been in a very ordinary state in the past two seasons. He is no longer the main player in the club, replaced by De Bruyne, a young player who plays for Genk.
Before the 2008 European Cup, De Bruyne was selected as a candidate for the national team, but he missed the opportunity to represent Belgium in the European Cup at the last moment. This time, De Bruyne finally got what he wanted.
"This is a huge reward for me. I know that I have always been within the scope of coach Antienis's investigation. When I was notified, I was so happy that I was going crazy. At the thought of representing the national team in the World Cup, my heart could not calm down. What excites me most is that I may Degan fights side by side. He is my idol and has always been.
The adjustment in the striker position is the largest, which are: Miralas (Saint-Étienne), Digan (Florence), Lukaku (Andelecht) and Hazard (Lille).
Lucaku and Hazard are both newly emerging young players this season. Although Lukaku is young, he already has the title of Little Degan in Belgium and has maintained a very high scoring efficiency in the past two seasons.
"I never expected to be selected to the national team. It's true! Originally, I was ready to go on vacation with my family. What made me most happy was that Degan called me personally and informed me in person. It was great that I could have the opportunity to fight side by side with Degan. Now, I can't wait!"
Not to mention Hazard, he has become the main player of Lille since last season and won the Copa de France with the team. His performance in the new season is also very eye-catching.
"This is the most important day of my life. I can represent Belgium in the World Cup. Originally, I thought that I needed to wait patiently for a long time to attract the attention of the national team. This is a huge reward for me. I have been working hard to enter the national team. Now it is a dream. At the moment, although I know that there are many excellent players in the national team, I am still looking forward to getting a chance to play. I hope to pass the ball to Degan, which must feel great!"
With the veteran players such as Goul, Buffer, Hoykens and Deschat faded out of the national team, the average age of the new European Red Devils is only 22 years old. The only one who can be called a veteran is Van Bitten who plays for Bayern Munich and the old goalkeeper Ploto.
"In the Belgian national team, there is no statement of qualifications. Only those players who can represent Belgium in the World Cup, and only these players can enter the scope of the national team coaching team."
In an interview with reporters, Antiennis, the head coach of the Belgian national team, gave his explanation. Thinking of the previous European Cup 2008, Antienis gave up a large number of veterans and chose many newcomers to play the leading role. This time, after the big list was announced, people's discussion was small. A lot.
The strong are up, the weak are down!
This is a natural law, which also applies on the football field!
After the list was announced, all the players completed the assembly in just two days. Next, Belgium has two warm-up matches to play, one against Australia and the other against the strong enemy Netherlands.
In the first warm-up match, Degan did not appear on the starting list. Not only was he, but also Compani and Fellaini, who participated in the Champions League final, also did not play.
Although three absolute main players are missing, Belgium still has an advantage in the game. The performance of young player Hazard is particularly eye-catching. His assault in the midfield and front court has turned the Australian defense upside down.
In the end, Belgium defeated Australia 2-0 with Hazard's pass and shot, and the other goal for Belgium was the young striker Lukaku.
In the second warm-up game, Degan only played half-time and was replaced. Judging from his performance in the game, Degan was obviously a little tired and his state was not adjusted to the best. In the end, the two sides shook hands 0:0 in this game.
After the warm-up match with the Netherlands, Belgium will leave for Johannesburg, South Africa, the day after the preparation for the World Cup.
At the grand event before departure, Degan, as the captain of Belgium, was also interviewed by the Belgian media: "There is no doubt that this time we have only one goal, that is, the final champion!"
Degan shouted the declaration of winning the championship, but it was not unexpected.
In the latest winning odds announced by the betting company, Belgium tied for fourth with Spain with 1 to 2.5, and Brazil, Germany and Argentina ranked ahead of them.
Although the odds are not high or even the favorite to win the championship, Degan is full of confidence: "We will not miss the opportunity twice in a row. In the last World Cup, we reached the final but lost to Italy. Such a thing will not be repeated. This time, our only goal is to win the championship. Army!"
Degan has always been a popular candidate for the new generation of world champions. He has won the European Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, and the honor of the club, which is unmatched by no one. Now what he lacks is the title of World Cup champion.
If he can be crowned smoothly, no one can shake his status as the world champion.
The same Kim Mauro and Messi are also ready to advance according to that goal.
With the arrival of Belgium, all kinds of giants have also gone to South Africa. The World Cup is really coming to this mysterious continent. Enthusiastic South Africans are as if they are welcoming a grand festival. Everyone is ready for the arrival of the World Cup.
After the assembly of 32 Haoqiang, the opening ceremony was held immediately. At the opening ceremony, the biggest highlight was the "WAKAWAKA" sung by the Latin queen Shakira, and the Latin dance music, which also completely ignited people's enthusiasm.
Shakira was able to sing at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, which made Degan's little girlfriend Park Ji-yeon both envious and jealous.
The reason why the little girl is jealous is that Shakira had publicly said in an interview before that the person she most wanted to date was Degan.
The grand opening ceremony seemed so perfect. If there is any regret, it is that Mandela, the famous anti-racist fighter of South Africa, did not appear at the opening ceremony, but he also expressed his expectations for the World Cup through VCR.
"Welcome friends from all over the world to visit South Africa. The people of South Africa are ready to welcome friends from all over the world. I also look forward to the start of the World Cup with the greatest enthusiasm and wish this World Cup in South Africa great success!"
After the opening ceremony, the next step is the beginning of the World Cup. Thirty-two teams will compete fiercely for the supreme honor in the football world on the African continent.
This will undoubtedly be a dream stage. Thirty-two teams will fight for a month in South Africa and then decide the final championship.
The world's eyes are focused on this mysterious continent, and people are looking forward to the birth of a new world champion. Now, everyone is finally ready.
The World Cup also ushered in the first African moment since its inception!
