Chapter 69 Please pay the bill

In the first semi-final of the 2012 European Cup, Belgium vs Spain, this pair of old enemies in recent years will once again be better than anyone else's "tooth" on the stage of the European Cup.

This game can be said to be the most eye-catching game in this European Cup. Let's not talk about the intricate enmity between Belgian and Spanish football in the past few years. Digan has been suppressed by Barcelona for two whole years. How does Digan deal with Siban? The dentist can't help but spray the adrenal hormone when you think about it.

Now there is another latest saying that the Spaniards had long expected that they would hit the arms of the Belgians on the stage of the European Cup, so they let Barcelona take the stage and make such a annoying play. However, now it seems that the development of this play has gone beyond the West. The expectations of the Panya people are a little towards the rhythm of the prince's revenge.

As for Digan's resentment towards Barcelona, or simply the Spaniards, it is not just as simple as paper. For two years, Digan was almost firmly blocked on Barcelona's bench. From 25 to 27 years old, two years of time was wasted. How did Digan It is not possible to put it down easily.

"No one can make a mistake without paying any price!" This is what Digan said in an interview with reporters after the game with Portugal.

As a fan of Degan, he naturally felt deeply about what had happened to Degan in the past two years, so when Belgium met Spain again on the stage of the European Cup, almost all of Degan fans shouted the same voice: Spanish! Please pay for your behavior!

The last time the two teams met on the stage of the European Cup was in the European Cup final four years ago. At that time, Belgium easily won the final without being favored.

Now there is a four-year cycle of reincarnation, and the situation is basically the same before the start of the game. The Spanish team is regarded as having reached its peak, and the staffing in all positions is impeccable, especially after the outbreak of Torres, the team can be regarded as perfect.

However, there is not so much badmouthing around the Belgian team this time, with the same lineup as the World Cup two years ago, as well as the stronger and more horrible Degan.

In the previous game, Degan has completed three hat-tricks, ranking first in the European Cup scorer list with nine goals, so proud that any team has now reached a consensus to completely limit Degan unless he is firmly tied up with ropes.

This game, which has not yet started, has been regarded as the peak match between Degan and the Spanish team. Although this is a little unfair to other Belgian players, this is the case.

Degan is everything to the Belgian team. In fact, it is not an exaggeration at all. Without Degan's three consecutive hat-tricks, it is still a question whether the Belgian team can appear in the group stage.

So for the Spanish team, the first thing to do to win is to completely freeze the superstar in good shape.

"I'm still considering the starting lineup. We must notice a talented player like Degan, who is very threatening to us."

The day before the game, Spanish coach Bosco hinted in an interview that he might choose to change the formation because of Degan. He also reminded the players that they must be highly focused from beginning to end. "If we enter the state slowly, it will be dangerous."

However, Bosco is still full of confidence in limiting Degan's performance: "We and Degan have played on the stage of the European Cup and World Cup. Although we lost both games, Degan is a person who can change the game and a unique person, but Belgium is by no means only one Di Gan, we will focus on taking care of him, but this is not a person's task. Our whole team will participate in the defense.

Bosk also commented on several core players of the Belgian team: "Azar's breakthroughs on the side and the middle are equally sharp. He is a genius who plays football with his brain. England's long-range shots outside the penalty area are very threatening. We must not give him too many opportunities to get up. Fellaini's passing ability is excellent, and at the same time His defense in the midfield is also very dominant.

Bosco believes that Spanish players can prevent Digan from killing: "I believe that as long as the whole team works together to defend, we can be so good that Degan can't find a place on the field."

Spain controlled the pace of the match against France very slowly, but Bosco thought that the match with Belgium would be very fierce, but in any case, he remained unchanged: "Generally speaking, I think Belgium is more threatening in the fast counterattack. I believe they will not change their playing style in the semi-finals. Of course, Spain will also be dominated by me. No matter how the Belgians are lined up, we will deal with the 433 formation.

In the media's prediction, it is very likely that he will be against Degan in the game. Pick, who is responsible for guarding Degan, also said in an interview: "So far, our starting 11 has not been determined, and I don't know if they can play, but once I can play, I will definitely pay all my efforts. To stop Degan's attack, I know this is a challenge for me, but I readily accept it.

David played very well in this European Cup. Silva also said in an interview: "Digan is excellent, but for me, Iniesta is the best, because he is my national teammate, and I know that he can accomplish many incredible things on the court. Iniesta is like a magician when he takes the ball. He can do everything he wants to do. Personally, I don't know much about Degan, but I know that Iniesta is a great player. He is too important to the team. Belgium is an excellent team. Their style is very distinctive, and they have proved that they not only have Degan. No matter how good Degan is in the national team, we have to compete with more than him. People, we are ready for this game. We know that this game will be very difficult, but the team will remain optimistic and the pressure will be in Belgium, because their goal is to defend their title, which will give them more psychological pressure. For most players in our team, it is the greatest to make up for the regret of two years ago. Wish."

Belgium is not the only one!

This is the internal voice from the locker room of the Spanish national team. That said, Spanish players still understand that in the semifinals of the European Championship, they will play against a unique player, a super warrior who can win the game on their own.

When it comes to the competition with Degan and Belgium, Degan's teammate Busquets in Barcelona also said: "We all know that Degan is a great player. If you want to defend against players like Degan, you must rely on the strength of the whole team. It is very difficult to keep an eye on players with characteristics like him. There is room for Under the circumstances, he is extremely threatening, but even if there is no space, he can pose a great threat. At the same time, Belgium is more like a whole than France, especially in the last three games, but if you think that Belgium only has Degan, it is a big mistake. Belgium has an excellent team. They have two of the best central defenders in Europe, two excellent wingers and an excellent midfield organizer. They can't just consider Degan, and Hazard can also cause trouble. I think Belgium will be the strongest opponent we have encountered in this competition.

In the match against Belgium, the Spanish team's mission is very clear, that is, the whole team works together to avoid letting Pike alone fight against Degan.

Pique's defensive partner Ramos said: "Digan is one of the best players in the world. If you want to keep an eye on him, you must not think about individual confrontations, but rely on collective strength."

Harvey also holds the same theory: "We must concentrate and be vigilant. We have an excellent full-back like Gerard. He is the best defensive player, and we will also try our best to fill the position to make Degan feel uncomfortable and unable to turn around."

Spanish players are most vigilant against Degan and Belgium, but as Pedro said, they will not be timid when they really meet Degan: "We will not be scared. Degan is now in a state. He is a very decisive player and very important. We must keep a close eye on him, but Belgium is not only With Degan, we must do a good job in overall defense.

As the first opponent to land in Spanish football, Casillas said: "The match with Belgium will be a wonderful and difficult match, but if we want to win the European Championship, we must defeat the best players and the best team. Degan is excellent and threatening, but we are in excellent condition. At that time, we don't have to worry about other players. What we have to do now is to try to play better than against France.

In this European Championship, the Spanish team's ball control and passing have lost their previous gorgeous side. Their games will always become dull and boring, with too many passing, too slow pace and lack of **.

Of course, this is not only to blame the Spanish team, because when the opponents meet them, they really can't get possession of the ball and take the initiative of the game, but the fans can't stand it anymore, and even say that the Spanish team plays "hypnotic football".

But as far as the Spanish team is concerned, they still choose the way they are familiar with, because winning is the first priority. Bosk seemed disapproving in response to the media's question about "boring play": "I don't care if others think our play is boring. As long as we continue to make progress and move forward and maintain the leading level of world football, everyone doesn't like what we do now, but we can't always When complaining about these problems, of course, we will pay attention to the details of our opponents, but the most important thing is to show our own football and convey our own message.

Iniesta, the core of the Spanish national team, also talked about the Spanish team's style in an interview: "From the technical and tactical level, the football we play is absolutely correct. It brings us victory and honor. I respect all views. Everyone has their own As for my understanding of football, I believe that the game will always be the team that has more desire to win the final victory. The Spanish team is such a team!"

After Spain defeated France 2-0, many people criticized Spain for lacking offensive aggression in the game, which made the game not good.

But Spain's midfielder Harvey. Alonso said that Spain will not change its style anyway: "That's their point of view. Everyone has their own point of view. No matter what people say, I don't think I will change. I am very sure that most of the fans are enjoying the great game. I think these greatness is not only limited to the present, but also belongs to the future of the event.

Bosk is also complaining about the Belgian team's two-day rest time compared with Spain's team: "This is not good for Spain's team. Our physical fitness will be met with a big test. We are running around during the game, and now we have to take two days off."

And the Spanish team stationed in Gdansk, Poland, has to fly 900 kilometers to play in Donetsk, Ukraine. You know, they just flew back and forth from there to participate in the quarterfinals four days ago. Between the two fierce battles, the time spent staying at the base camp is only 48 hours.

Iniesta, the core of the team, is very indifferent to this ** topic, believing that the current team does not need to consider too much rest, but should focus on the game itself: "At this level, in fact, more rest time does not matter. We should not always think about fatigue and rest now, but To concentrate on preparing for the game with Belgium, we must show our determination and faith in the game.

The other day, it was time for the final battle. At the press conference before the game, Degan attended again as a representative of Belgium, which also made the reporters present basically make his guess, but Degan still unwilling to talk more about this matter.

When a reporter asked if he would take revenge in this game with Spain, Digan also seemed not interested: "I have had a very difficult two years, and now I just enjoy the pleasure of every game. As for the rest, I am not interested, and if it comes to revenge, the word is used It may be more suitable for the Spanish team! But if you have to get something from my mouth, I think my fans have made it clear. Please pay the bill for the past two years!"

Although Degan is unwilling to admit it, it is not difficult for people to feel from his tone that this superstar is not without grudges in the past, and even can be said to have deep resentment.
