Chapter 37 Public opinion is hard to violate

"I will never let him appear in my team!"

Wilmots roared emotionally, and there was a Hollywood star Al. Pacino's face turned red and his eyebrows almost stood up. No wonder he was so angry that he was about to hold a press conference, but the Belgian Football Association found him at this time and asked him to add Degan's name to the list.

After the fierce quarrel more than a year ago, Degan said in front of reporters that he was "an idiot who knew nothing" and asked the Belgian Football Association to "let him get out if he wants to go to the European Cup".

Since then, Degan's name has never appeared in Wilmots's Belgian national team. Even if the qualifying situation is precarious, even if Belgium, as the defending champion, is going to play the play-offs with Greece, Wilmot has not considered Degan.

Now the team has qualified, and in this long preparation period, Degan has not been involved. As a result, he is going to Poland now, but the Football Association suddenly proposed to modify the list and add Degan's name. How can Wilmotz stand it?

"Mark! Calm down!"

At the beginning, the Belgian Football Association also supported Wilmot's decision. After all, at that time, Degan's behavior was too reckless. He scolded not Wilmods. Almost the interests of the Belgian Football Association were seriously challenged, and at that time, Degan was in Barcelona. The situation was very difficult, and the Belgian Football Association wanted to give Degan some warnings and agreed to Wilmot's decision to remove Degan from the national team.

Later, Degan became less and less valued in Barcelona and played fewer games. Moreover, after several communications, Degan did not mean to bow to Wilmots at all. In order to maintain the position of the head coach, the Belgian Football Association naturally stood on Wilmetz's side.

But now that the European Cup is approaching, the Belgian Football Association, which is eager to achieve good results again, has to reconsider the problem of Degan.

Especially in the recent warm-up matches, Belgium's results are very bad. In the latest match, it was even tied by Cyprus at the doorstep. In addition, Degan played as a substitute in the Champions League final, making it impossible for the Belgian Football Association to ignore the existence of Degan.

Of course, more importantly, the will of the fans, almost all Belgians have now stood up and asked the Football Association to recruit Degan again and let them lead the European Red Devils to the stage of the European Cup to defend their title.

Although the people's intention can only be strong. Traitor. However, sometimes, those in power also have to consider the views of those promoted people.

"Mark! You have to understand that it's not that we ask you to do this now, but all the Belgians who want to see Degan on the stage of the European Cup, which we must seriously consider. We can't stand on the opposite side of the fans, what do you think?

Wilmots said angrily, "Damn it! They don't understand anything at all, President Coles Mike, please forgive me. I can't work with someone who doesn't respect me, and my team doesn't need that selfish guy. He only destroys when he comes. Do you all want the Belgian Football Association to become the laughing stock of the world on the stage of the European Cup?

In fact, the reason why Wilmots' attitude is so tough that he doesn't want Belgium to make a fool of himself on the European Cup stage is actually worried about himself.

Everyone knows all over the world that Degan is a madman. He never considers the consequences of anything he can do, but the French team's experience in the World Cup in South Africa is in front of him. Wilmots doesn't want to be the second Domenech.

"Have you forgotten what he did at the beginning? That Brazilian has no sense of national honor at all. He joined the Belgian national team just to satisfy his injustice of participating in international competitions. Otherwise, he will not destroy it, and he is also the captain of the team. That kind of behavior is absolutely unforgivable. In addition, Chairman Coles Mike, you promised at the beginning. I will give all the rights of the team to me. Now I ask the Football Association to give up the consideration of recruiting Degan. I don't need him at all!"

Wilmots hated Digan so much not only because of the original tactics. Degan offended him. Most importantly, he didn't want anyone to come and share the credit. When Wilmot took office, although he praised Antiennis's contribution to Belgian football, in fact, he despised Antie very much. Nice thinks that Antienis is just a puppet of Degan in the national team. He doesn't want to become that puppet.

Cols Mike, president of the Belgian Football Association, was also a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Mark! But what we need is results. We must guarantee the national team's results in the European Cup. If possible, I hope to defend the title!"

Defend your title!

Since the establishment of the European Cup, there has never been a precedent for any team to defend its title in two consecutive competitions. Spain could have completed this feat without Degan, but now this opportunity has come to Belgium.

But the question is, can it really be achieved without the powerful core of Degan?

Wilmots also frowned when he heard the words. How can it be so easy to defend the champion of the European Cup? Germany, which has won three times and France, which has won the championship twice, failed to achieve it. Can Belgium do it?

The goal set by the Belgian Football Association this time was to make it to the top four of the European Cup, and Wilmot is still very confident in this task.

After all, the current Belgian national team has only replaced a Degan compared with the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, and the players in other positions have remained completely unchanged, especially those young people two years ago, such as Azar and Lukaku have gradually matured.

Lukaku, in particular, is now the positive center of Wilmot's national team. He is the core of the team's attack and is highly valued by Wilmot.

But if he wants to defend his title, Wilmot dares not make this guarantee. After all, the European Cup is a single knockout match in the end. Anything can happen. Who can be accurate?

"But he ignores my head coach's authority in the team. If I bow to him at this time, how can I control the whole team!"

Cols Mike advised: "Mark! I know this will be very difficult, but you should know that there are some things that I can't decide. Now people across the country are calling for Degan to join the national team, and this matter is so big that even Congress is asking about it. Even His Majesty is a fan of Degan and is begging for him. I hope you can take a good exam. Think about it!"

Now the king of Belgium is Albert II. He is indeed a fan of Degan. Previously, after Degan led Belgium to win the World Cup in South Africa, he also personally awarded Degan. Not only he, but also Philip, the current heir to the throne, is a fan of Degan. Although the royal family no longer holds the rights of Belgium, its status in the hearts of the people is still very high, and the royal family's words are still very important.

Listen to Coles Mike's words, Wilmots also had to think about it. He knew that it was not good for him to work with the Football Association and even against the whole country at this time.

"Mr. Coles Mike, I need to think about it!"

Cols Mike frowned: "Mark! Do we still have time to think about it now? There is less than one day left before the UEFA required to register. We must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Cols Mike said, walked to the balcony, opened the curtains, opened the window, and suddenly a noise came in.

"Mark! Look outside, they are all here to petition for Degan. Can we really sit idly by? Mark! Even if Degan is added to the list, the head coach of the Belgian national team is still you, but if you refuse, I think you have seen it. I don't want anything that no one wants to see because of this!"

Now that Degan joins the national team, almost the whole of Belgium is in a mess. If Wilmots is still stubborn, no one knows what angry Belgian fans will do.

Even if the fans can still maintain restraint at this time, if the Belgian country can't achieve the most satisfactory results in the European Cup, no one can say what will happen at that time.

Wilmots feels extremely aggrieved at this moment. He is the head coach of the national team, but now he has to bow to a player under the pressure of everyone.

"Okay! I~~~~~~ agreed!"

Cols Mike breathed a sigh of breath when he heard this. He was really afraid that Wilmods would be tough to the end. In that case, it would be really troublesome.

On the same day, the Belgian Football Association announced the list for the European Cup. Seeing the name of Degan in the list, Belgian fans immediately cheered.

After receiving the notice, Degan was no longer stubborn. He packed up his salute and went directly to the Belgian residence in Poland.
