Chapter 240 Return to the national team

Since the end of the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, Degan has withdrawn from the Belgian national team. Since then, Belgian football has begun to decline. Although there are Fellani, Vermaren, Azar, Lukaku, De Bruyne and others, Belgian football has also followed several international competitions. I have never been absent.

But it has never been involved in the championship trophy of any competition. The best result is that Belgium reached the semi-finals at the Qatar World Cup two years ago, but finally lost to Italy, which won the championship in the semifinals.

Over the years, the Belgian Football Association has hoped more than once to persuade Degan to return to the national team, but Degan has never agreed.

It's not that Degan really doesn't miss the international competition. The key is that the club's frequent events have already made Degan fewer opportunities to accompany his family. If he strengthens the national team, I'm afraid he will have less time.

Originally, Degan felt that he owed a lot to Park Ji-yeon. How could he continue to run around?

However, this time, Antiennis returned to the Belgian national team as the head coach. He called Degan personally. This time, it was not easy for Degan to refuse directly.

"Rod! I hope you can come back and help me this time!" Antienis has been worried recently because of the national team. Seeing that the European Cup is about to open, but at this time, the team's main striker Lukaku withdrew due to injury. At this time, let him find a suitable candidate.

But Degan is also very embarrassed. He has already discussed with Park Ji-yeon that he will take her children to South Korea this summer. Since marrying Degan, Park Ji-yeon has few opportunities to return to South Korea. Every time, her family comes to see her. This time, it's hard to find time. How can Digan disap Park Ji-yeon?

"Coach! You know, I~~~ I still have a family, I~~~

Of course, Antienes also knew that his request would embarrass Degan, but this time, he returned to the national team and wanted to revive the prestige of the European Red Devils, but when the European Cup was about to begin, except for surprise.

"Rod! I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't bother you. Now I just hope you don't be busy refusing. Think about it carefully and I'll wait for your reply!"

After saying that, Antienes hung up the phone. Degan took the phone and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

"What's wrong?" Park Zhiyan looked at Degan. Although she didn't hear it, she vaguely guessed it. She couldn't help but look a little depressed. "Is it football again?"

When Digan heard this, he couldn't help smiling bitterly. Park Ji-yeon used to like watching football, but now, it's completely different. A Degan and a David at home are full of football, training, games, and even when she returns home.

Park Ji-yeon now regrets letting Degan continue her career, but as a wife, she knows her husband too well. If she really lets Degan leave football completely, I'm afraid it won't take long for Degan to get autism.

Digan really didn't know how to talk to Park Ji-yeon at this moment and hesitated for a long time and said, "It's Coach Antienis!"

When Park Ji-yeon heard this, her eyes suddenly opened: "It's him, but isn't he a coach in the Belgian national team now? OPPA! You're not going to want it.

This matter always has to be said: "Well, the European Cup is about to begin, but the main striker of the Belgian national team withdrew due to injury, so he hopes that I can~~~"

"Let you return to the national team!" Park Ji-yeon jumped out of bed and said, "OPPA! You promised me that you would go to South Korea with my children this summer, you~~~"

Seeing that Park Zhiyan was angry, Digan said quickly, "I haven't promised him yet. If you don't want to, I'll just refuse!"

After saying that, Degan was about to call Antiennis with his mobile phone, but when he held the mobile phone in his hand, he was silent. From his heart, he was very eager to participate in another international competition.

After the end of the World Cup in Brazil, Degan withdrew from the national team for the sake of his family, but he did not want to stand on the international stage again.

Looking at Degan's appearance, Park Ji-yeon couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She has been with Degan for more than ten years. She can't know much about Degan. Degan is so persistent that she can't help but be a little jealous. That's why when she hears wants Digan back to the national team, her The reaction will be so big.

After all, Park Ji-yeon is also a 30-year-old person. Of course, she will not mess around like when she was young, and she won't be angry because Digan can't go back to South Korea with her children. She is just jealous and jealous that football is so attractive to Degan.

But looking at Degan like this, Park Ji-yeon is a little unbearable. Compared with the current Degan who deliberately suppresses her, Park Ji-yeon still prefers the super rod that shines on the court.

"OPPA! Do you really want to participate in the European Cup!?"

Digan smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter, Zhiyan! Forget it! It's better to refuse, I promised you!"

Park Ji-yeon sat down next to Degan: "OPPA! Don't pretend. The European Cup is only once every four years. If it's really because of me, it may be the last chance for you to miss. At that time, I'm afraid you will blame me!"

Digan looked at Park Ji-yeon: "Ji-yeon! What do you mean~~~~~~!?

Park Ji-yeon rolled her eyes: "What else does it mean? I'm unlucky. I've married you with football in my life. If you want to participate in the European Cup, I'll accompany you to France. Anyway, I haven't met those friends for a long time! Take this opportunity to go to the party!"

Because of Degan, Park Ji-yeon was very popular in the Belgian wife group.

Digan didn't expect that Park Ji-yeon would really agree. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Thinking of being able to get on the stage of the European Cup again, he couldn't control it and picked up Park Ji-yeon.

"Thank you! Zhiyan! Thank you very much!"

Although Park Zhiyan agreed, she was still angry, especially when she saw that Degan was so excited. As soon as she got a little temper, she lowered her head and bit Dickan's shoulder fiercely.

Park Zhiyan was able to ask him to participate in the European Cup. Degan was already grateful. Naturally, he didn't care about her little temper. He quickly picked up the phone and called Antiennis.

After Antienis hung up the phone, he has been waiting anxiously. If Degan can really return to the national team, Belgium's European Cup trip is worth looking forward to.

Since Brazil won the Hercules Cup for the last time in the World Cup, so many years have passed, Belgium has never won any international championship.

This time Antienes came back out of the mountain, naturally not just to lead Belgium to a decent place in the European Cup. From the beginning, he was waiting for the championship, and the easiest way to win the championship is to invite Degan out of the mountain. Although it doesn't mean that the champion will be ten. Nine is stable, but at least the chance of success will be greater.

Seeing that the phone rang, it was Degan's number. Antienes couldn't help but be nervous. He picked up the phone with trembling hands and hesitated for a long time before connecting. After receiving Degan's affirmative reply, Antienes was stunned. Degan hung up the phone, and he maintained the posture of answering the phone for more than ten minutes. Time of the clock.

Digan is really coming back!

In this European Cup, Belgium's promotion road can be said to be very difficult. Before Antienis returned to the mountain and took over the Belgian national team, the qualifying situation was precarious. In the end, it only participated in the play-offs as the second in the group, and then barely got a plane to France. Tickets.

So, this time, even the Belgian domestic media and fans do not expect much about what the Belgian national team can achieve in the French European Cup.

At the press conference after the team's last gathering, when Antiennis appeared and looked at his happy face, the reporters couldn't help but feel surprised. When the people behind Antiennis came out, the press conference scene was immediately confused.

Digan! It turned out to be Degan!

It has been three weeks since Degan promised Antienes to return to the mountain. During this period, Degan and Park Ji-yeon returned to South Korea together. Yesterday, they just felt Brussels and just caught up with the swearing-in conference of the Belgian national team.

Digan is back!

The reporter at the scene was shocked for a moment, which could not be described in words. It was so shocking that Degan actually returned!

There was no news before, and it suddenly appeared!

Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, Antienis proudly announced, "You have been guessing who will replace Lukaku. Now I can announce the answer. Our captain, Rod, is finally back!"

For a while, the reporter who reacted shot at Degan in the national team robe. Although the media had been calling on Degan to return to the national team, when Degan really appeared, they all doubted whether all this was true. It was not until Antiennis solemnly announced that they put it down. Suspended heart.

Degan is really back! Really back!

"That's right! I'm very excited to come back and return to Belgium. After ten years, I can play in the European Cup as a member of the European Red Devils. At my age, I can still get such an opportunity. I am very grateful to Coach Antiennis for giving me this opportunity, and I am also very grateful to me. My family supports me. Although I have been away from the national team for ten years, I am not strange to come back here. This time, in the European Cup in France, we will do our best for the final championship!"

If others say this, reporters may not take this sentence seriously at all, but if Degan said it, the meaning is completely different. In the past 20 years, Degan has always been synonymous with the champion. Although he is 39 years old, if Degan says he wants to fight for the championship. , it's really not impossible.

The news of Degan's return to the Belgian national team first caused a sensation in Belgium. Fans have been looking forward to it for many years, and now their dreams have come true.

Belgian fans even started a celebration nationwide because of this incident. People took to the streets and cheered crazily, as if the team had won the championship.

"This is great. Rod is back. This is the moment when the dream comes true. I want to thank Coach Antiennis, who brought Degan to the Belgian national team 18 years ago, and now it's Coach Antiennis who brought Rod back!"

"All the teams that entered this European Cup can start to tremble now, because the soul of the European Red Devils has returned, and now it is time for us to win the championship. All this is simply wonderful!"

"I thought Belgium might get nothing in this European Cup, but now it's different. We have Rod again. He is the best. He can lead us to defeat all our opponents and win the championship!"

The world's major news media have also commented on this matter, without exception, saying that Degan's return will make this European Cup full of suspense.

Of course, some people are singing the opposite. They think that Degan is still fighting continuously after a long season. It's crazy to play the European Cup. After all, his age is there. Degan is no longer young. Can he really cope with a European Cup now?

However, such doubts are only a few, and more people are optimistic that Belgium will become the biggest dark horse in this European Cup, because after Degan, not to mention Belgium, which is very strong, even a fish-brisman force can squeeze into the championship.

In the chaos, the Belgian team set out and arrived in France to start their final preparations for the European Cup.

For Degan, returning to this familiar battlefield is not to return to his hometown and remember the past. He came here for only one purpose, that is, the champion!

At the first team meeting after arriving in France, Degan clearly announced to all his teammates: "Ten years have made the world forget the horror of the European Red Devils. Now it's time to bring them back to the control we made!"
