Chapter 59: Old
AC Milan won, but compared with Degan's thirteen goals, there is really nothing to pay attention to. Now there is no dispute about who is the best striker in Milan.
Looking at the statistics of Degan's striker, he played four times in the league this season, including three starts, one substitute, and two of the three starts were replaced early, but this is one of the few opportunities, Degan He actually scored 19 goals, which was even crazier than his crazy trip in Atlanta last season.
"Today was a disaster for us, we didn't play too badly, but Degan's goal blew our confidence away, he played unbelievably well, I think it will take us a long time to get back from that Get out of this defeat!"
The representative of Regina who attended the press conference after the game was their captain Tedesco. As for the head coach, after the game, he received a text message and he was fired.
Regina gave in and even fired his head coach. Ancelotti also had to say after the game: "Degan is in a very good state today, and we all hope that he can continue!"
In addition, Ancelotti refused to say anything, maybe he still refused to lower his fat head, but in front of Digan's 19 goals, Ancelotti's toughness seemed It's just a clown show.
Now almost the whole world is discussing Degan's thirteen goals, but Degan didn't seem to care about it at all. After the match with Regina, he packed up and saluted, and rushed to the airport.
The national team competition week is coming, and Degan also rushed to Brussels by plane at the first time to join the team. Although Belgium is currently in a good situation in the seventh group, if they want to qualify, there are still a lot of problems. difficulty.
Belgium's next two opponents are Lithuania and the strong enemy Spain. If they want to appear, in addition to defeating these two opponents, it also depends on the face of Serbia and Montenegro.
The European qualifiers for the World Cup rekindled the flames. The first player to play was Italy. Although they won the match against Moldova, after the match, people's summary of the match made Italy feel ashamed : The better Totti passed, the worse the striker shot.
Under the attention of countless cameras, the three powerful forwards in Italy made a big fool, and the most ugly one was Vieri, and it was incredibly ugly.
He replaced Tony before the end of the second half. It was really uncomfortable to play as a substitute, but Vieri knew better than anyone that the opportunity fell on his head and he could not throw it away.
The teammates are also very helpful. They all know that Vieri is in trouble now, and they all hope to help him regain his confidence by scoring goals. Totti sent a wonderful pass twice. The first time was a low ball. , Vieri started to drop the defender, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper with his left foot, and missed two meters.
The second time the opponent failed for offside, the defender watched Vieri take the ball and bring it into the penalty area.
Vieri, who missed the opportunity, also seemed very annoyed. He picked up the ball and kicked it vigorously into the sky to vent his dissatisfaction. A smash can hit 5 or 6 meters. This is not a question of comparing with the Italian Bulls back then, but a question of whether he is a normal striker now. No wonder there is no draw in Milan. These two wasted opportunities are really true. Enough to go into the history books.
The last two on the embarrassing list are Tony and Gilardino. There is no problem with the cooperation of the two centers, the real problem is the finishing touch.
But in the end, with the help of Del Piero, Vieri still broke his scoring drought this season with a push in front of the goal.
For Vieri, even with a goal, his nightmare still exists. Opportunities are everywhere, but he just can't grasp them.
It can be seen that Vieri's self-confidence is disappearing bit by bit, so that even the goals he scored are so stumbled.
Del Piero made a low pass from the left and passed the goalkeeper, but Vieri was five meters in front of the goal, and even almost missed a chance. He didn't dare to shoot directly at the first shot, and he didn't control the ball. Controlling the ball at the second time, and carefully pushing the ball into the goal before the opponent can make up for it, this can no longer be explained from a technical point of view. Vieri has already suffered psychological setbacks.
Of course, the goal came at the right time, as Lippi said after the game: "Scoring goals is very important to his psychology."
It seems that Moldova is indeed Vieri's favorite opponent. Eight years ago, against this opponent, Vieri scored the 1,000th goal of the Italian national team. Of course, the current Vieri is no longer the Vieri of the past.
In the national team, although Lippi has repeatedly defended Vieri, the pressure still exists. There are too many good centers in Italy. In addition to Gilardino and Tony, Iaquinta is also a strong candidate, but today Vieri His appearance squeezed him to the right, and his performance was greatly compromised. Although Vieri scored the goal and opened the spell in the heart, the pressure was still there.
Degan doesn't care about Vieri's performance, he just wants to do his own thing well, and Belgium will face Lithuania next, which is not always a strong team.
The current form of the seventh group is that Belgium and Spain have the same score of 14 points, and the Serbia and Montenegro team ranks third with 13 points. Although Belgium's qualifying situation is good, it has not yet reached the point where it is safe to sit back and relax.
Belgium's last two games against Lithuania and Spain, Spain's next opponents are Serbia and Montenegro and Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro's last two games against Spain and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Obviously, Spain's qualifying situation is the most severe. They must remain unbeaten in order to qualify smoothly. As long as Belgium can successfully win Lithuania and draw with Spain, they will be able to enter the World Cup next year.
When Degan arrived at the training camp, the first thing he saw was head coach Antiiens and assistant coach François.
Antiiennis smiled and said: "Congratulations, Rhodes! Thirteen goals, now that you are the number one player in the world, I don't think anyone will object!"
Digan seemed a little disapproving: "Coach! Congratulations, I think we'd better wait until after qualifying!"
Antiiennis looked at Degan, that kind of confidence, which he admired the most: "How is it? Are you ready?"
Digan clenched his fists and said, "Of course! I can't wait to play now!"
