Chapter 125 Preparation

In the football field of a local university in Johannesburg, the Belgian team is undergoing the last training before the game. In three hours, their 1/8 knockout match with Mexico will start.

The head coach Antiiennis went to the pre-match press conference, and at the moment it was the assistant coach Francois who led the team for warm-up training.

With other teams facing suspensions and injuries, the Belgian team is the most stable and well-equipped team with 23 players, all ready to go.

The well-organized staff is enough to make people jealous, and the most impressive thing is that the atmosphere in the Belgian team is very relaxed. They don't have the perverted training system of England. Antiiennis' management of the team is very loose. The night before the game, all players can make their own arrangements except that they must spend the rest of the time in the hotel. The reason for this is that Antiiennis hopes that every player in the Belgian team can relax as much as possible And nerves, don't bear unnecessary psychological pressure.

Just like the current training, although it is closed, the family members of the players can enter the training ground. In front of their families, the Belgian players also seem more relaxed, and the whole training is full of laughter.

"Rod! Come here!"

Degan heard Francois shouting, kicked the ball to Fellaini, and walked over: "Is there something wrong? Coach!"

Francois smiled and said, "Rod! How are you getting ready?"

Digan also smiled and said, "What are you referring to?"

"Of course it's this game!"

Degan turned his head to look at his teammates on the training ground, and said with a smile, "I've never felt so good before."

Francois was also in a good mood when he heard the words. It can be said that Degan is the barometer of the Belgian team. His state is directly related to the team's performance: "So, I can look forward to today's game! ?"

Deegan said, "Of course, you're ready to celebrate now!"

Degan didn't underestimate the enemy, but Mexico, an opponent, really didn't deserve his attention. Although the world ranking is very high, Mexico has never achieved a record that matches the world ranking.

After Degan finished speaking, he found that although Francois was smiling, his expression looked a little nervous: "Coach! Are you worried about us?"

Francois was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "Of course not, I believe in your abilities, but, Rhodes! You know, this is the last time that Antiiennis and I will compete in an international competition with you. Hope to have a perfect ending!"

Antiiennis will not renew his contract with the Belgian Football Association after the World Cup in South Africa. Of course Degan knows that, as the assistant coach of Antiiennis, Francois will leave together. Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do, he can't ask others to do anything for him.

But the best ending for Antiiennis and Francois is within Degan's ability: "Don't worry! Coach, even if you are going to retire after the World Cup, we will give you A most respectable retirement ceremony!"

After Digan finished speaking, he walked towards the court: "Guys! After training, go back and change your clothes, Marouan! If you are energetic enough, tidy up here!"

Fellaini, who was showing off his skills in front of his girlfriend, suddenly fainted. After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, he ran into the dressing room in a hurry.

Digan also walked in front of Park Zhiyan and the others: "It's time for us to go, you and others will go to the stadium together later!"

As the family members of the players, they naturally have special care, at least they don't have to worry about tickets.

Park Zhiyan nodded, then clenched her fist at Digan: "pp! fn!"

Digan smiled: "If you really want to cheer me on, why not think about what rewards you will give me after the game is over, it will be more realistic!"

Pu Zhiyan didn't understand: "Then what reward does PP want!"

Digan smiled: "For example~~~~~~~ a kiss!"

Deegan just laughed and left, leaving only Park Jiyeon blushing. The two of them had been communicating in English just now. Naturally, her members couldn't understand everything, but who doesn't know "kss"? ?

"Zhiyan! Promise Digan's son-in-law!"

"That's right! Maybe your encouragement will be the key to winning or losing the game!"

"Zhiyan! I'm going to envy you again!"

"Giulione! Haven't you sent your first kiss yet?"

"Ah! Han Enjing! If you dare to bring up the matter of your first kiss again, I will kill you!"

Pu Zhiyan lowered her head, her face was red and she heard her sisters screaming in her ears, she really wanted to find a place to sneak in.

After the Belgian team changed their equipment, they boarded the bus and rushed towards the stadium. Everyone looked very relaxed, which reassured Degan a lot.

Although Degan didn't take Mexico as an opponent seriously, Mexico is a strong team in North America after all. If they really relax their vigilance, they might suffer a disadvantage.

At the same time, the Mexican team also boarded the bus to the venue, and compared with the relaxed Belgium, they looked preoccupied.

As the team's number one star, captain Marquez even found out that he forgot to bring his leg guards while waiting for the bus, and the bus had to return to the hotel.

From this episode, it is not difficult to see that the whole Mexican team is under great pressure.

The Mexican team has never had a World Cup on the stage of the World Cup. When they played more than five games, they managed to break through the group this time. As a result, they met Belgium, the runner-up team of the last World Cup, which allowed Mexico to advance The prospect of the game was cast a shadow before the game.

Although Belgium is not a seeded team, nor is it a favorite to win the championship, but from the previous three group matches, they defeated Nigeria 6:0, South Korea 6:0, and then drew Argentina 1:1 with half of the main team. The performance made the European Red Devils suddenly never favored by others and became a hot team.

Even the head coach Aguirre publicly stated in the previous team meeting: "To fight Belgium, we must first lower our posture and focus on fighting!"

But can you really fight it out?

Especially after the previous group stage, the team's main goalkeeper Ochoa was injured and will definitely miss the game. The offensive core Franco's knee injury relapsed. Although he can participate in the game, how much combat power he can exert depends on everything is unknown.
