Chapter 102

Although Degan has become a member of the Belgian national team, when this kind of thing is exposed, he will naturally be involved, just like he is often compared with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Serie A Similarly, at the level of the national team, Adriano, who had conflicts with him, was naturally concocted by reporters as his opponent.

"Yes! Ricciardo called me. He was very disappointed that he didn't win the game, but that's all. We didn't talk about other topics. He knew that I was also working hard for Belgium to enter the World Cup in Germany. This time is not the best time to disturb me! And I don't understand, what does Brazil's failure to win the game have to do with me? Among the Brazil team, the only thing I care about is Ricardo! Come on! Idiots! Stop asking these silly questions, we need to prepare for the next game!"

Belgium's next opponent in the World Cup qualifiers is Serbia and Montenegro, which currently ranks first in the group. In their last game, they defeated their strong enemy Spain 2:1 and jumped to the first position in the group. Now Belgium has 11 points and , Serbia and Montenegro are only three points away. If they can win, the relationship between the two will become one win and one loss. By that time, relying on the advantage of goal difference, Belgium will be able to turn around and become the seventh group. The first place will occupy a favorable position in the competition of this group.

The last time the two teams played against each other, the Belgian team lost 0:3 at their own gate. That game almost cost Antiiennis his coaching position. Now the chance for revenge has finally come.

However, Kovanovic, the head coach of the Serbia and Montenegro team, obviously did not pay attention to Belgium. At the press conference before the game, when a reporter mentioned that Belgium beat San Marino 15-0 in the last game, the Serbia and Montenegro team today When the game will adopt a defensive strategy, Kovanovic said directly: "Belgium's performance in the last game was surprising, but Serbia and Montenegro are not San Marino. We are confident to defend our honor at home!"

Antiiennis was relatively low-key: "Serbia and Montenegro are our direct competitors. We will deal with it carefully in today's game and try our best to win!"

As a result, Antiiennis' statement was subsequently despised by Serbia and Montenegro's head striker Kežman: "The direct competitor, our direct competitor is only Spain, and Belgium is not qualified!"

Depend on!

When Digan was told by the reporter about Kezhiman's remarks, he only said one word: "Ha!"

The reporter was baffled by Degan's "ha", and quickly asked him what he meant.

Digan explained: "After the game, you will know! In addition, please tell Mr. Kezhiman, a striker who can't even score a goal, has no right to say such a thing! This will only make people feel ridiculous!"

Obviously, the Serbian and Montenegro team has been included in the must-kill list by Digan, but I don't know how Kezhiman will feel when he hears this sentence.

Before the start of the season, he made a high-profile transfer to Chelsea and quickly became the main force of the team, but what happened?

More than half of the league, Mr. Kezhiman contributed nothing to Chelsea except to increase Chelsea's regular salary and prove that Abramovich is very rich.

Even in the last round of the match against Norwich, Norwich fans put up such a sign in the stands: Please give the ball to Kežman to shoot, please!

To be so loved by opponent fans, Kezhiman is considered a miracle.

Although Degan did not take Serbia and Montenegro seriously in words, in fact, he knew very well that the current Serbia and Montenegro team is very strong.

The predecessor of the Serbia and Montenegro team was the Yugoslavia national football team, but in 1992, with the independence of Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia and other countries, the team continued to use the name of Yugoslavia, but only Serbia and Montenegro were left. player of.

Although the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established in 1992, due to the boycott of Yugoslavia in the international sports world due to the Yugoslav Civil War, they did not participate in international competitions until they were defeated by Brazil in 1994.

They have played in two World Cups, in 1998 and 2006, and they also entered the European Cup of Nations in 2000. In 2003, Yugoslavia officially changed its name to Serbia and Montenegro, and the football team also changed to its current name.

How powerful Yugoslavia used to be is simply beyond people's imagination. At that time, Yugoslavia was absolutely sweeping the world and invincible. During the World Cup in 1990, Pele predicted that Yugoslavia would win the championship.

He couldn't help predicting that, because the former Yugoslavia national team, with European bodies and more Brazilian skills than Brazil, was in its heyday, sweeping the world of football and destroying it.

The national team is full of stars and talents. For a while, even the Dutch Tulip, known as the genius factory, cannot match it. In the 1990s, Yugoslavia was not only the national team, but their club team was the strongest. The famous Belgrade Red Star team won the Champions Cup and Toyota Cup consecutively.

Captain Stojkovic has superb skills, especially the one-handed free kick. He was almost compared with Maradona at the time. Forward Pantsev helped Red Star win the European Champions Cup in 1991 and won the European Golden Boot. Boban, presumably everyone is familiar with him, a genius in the middle and front field, and later joined AC Milan, Stojkovic, Pantsev and Boban were known as the three Musketeers in the Balkans at the time. The genius Savicevic has a broad vision and superb skills. Youxi is outstanding and famous all over the world. He later became the core midfielder of AC Milan. Forward Boksic, the top scorer in Ligue 1, later joined Lazio. Fans who like Serie A love He should be familiar with it.

In the Chilean World Youth Championship in 1987, Yugoslavia made the world football see many red stars, Prosineski, Boban, Dave Suker, Mijatovic, and Prosineski is the most shining among them Bright one. Prosineski received a lot of applause from the fans for his insight and vision beyond ordinary people, and just the right time to pass the ball. Yugoslavia finally defeated Germany through penalty kicks to win the championship, and Prosineski also won the championship. Was selected as the best player of the game.

Later, the Red Star team defeated Marseille in penalty kicks and won the 1991 European Champions Cup. Among them, the semi-final elimination of Bayern Munich was described by the European media as: Prosineski defeated the entire Bayern Munich team alone.

Gorgeous technique, strong body, tenacious will, calm mind, pleasing style of play, no exaggeration for the modification of the former Yugoslavia.

In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, they united for the first time to go to the World Cup, and then flashed dazzling light, but no one expected that this first time would become their last, although in the first game of the group 1: 4 lost to West Germany, but since then, the young Yugoslavia team has not only made it out of the group, but also beat Spain in the 1/8 finals. This game also became the swan song of the complete Yugoslavia in the international competition.

Soon after the World Cup ended, the Yugoslav civil war broke out. This is a land full of disasters. The Eastern Romans, Turks, and Austrians all enslaved this nation with too many tragic colors.

When there was no one left to enslave them, they themselves fell into civil war. The Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes who once lived in harmony under Tito's prestige fought against each other. The Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the mosque that once stood together on this land can no longer coexist. Suker and Savice, who once fought side by side Vic, Boban and Stojkovic, Boksic and Pantsev, Prosinecki and Yugovich all became enemies overnight.

Everyone believes that none of them would like this, but the political cloud hangs over football, and Boban is only allowed to pass the ball to Savicevic in AC Milan. Divac, a basketball star who played for the Sacramento Kings Said: "When the war broke out, my good friend Kukci never said a word to me again. I was very sad, and I believe he would not like this." This may be the voice of every former Yugoslav player , whether in basketball or football.

Euro 1992, they were banned; World Cup 1994, they were banned; Euro 1996, they were banned, all because of the damn war!

A generation of talented players wasted their golden years like this, and the war obliterated their golden years.

On March 28, 2002, a sad day, the Yugoslavian team challenged the Brazilian team away and lost 0:1. This was the last time the name Yugoslavia appeared on a football field.

Belgrade on January 12, 2003, Azerbaijan's opponents no longer called Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro replaced her. Even though the fans chanted "Yugoslavia", the name can only remain in memory forever.

So far, the stars of the 1990s have announced their retirement in sadness. There are no flowers, no applause, no cheers, and there is only an extremely bleak atmosphere. Their names have quietly faded out of the world football.

In his previous life, Degan also felt sorry for Yugoslavia. Every time the World Series kicked off, he couldn't help but think about what the football pattern in the world would be like if Yugoslavia was still there.

Now Serbia and Montenegro have come to a fork in history, Montenegro has declared independence, the 2006 World Cup will also become the swan song of Serbia and Montenegro.

From the perspective of a bystander, Degan naturally hopes that Serbia and Montenegro can have the last laugh, but now for the World Cup, he must work hard to defeat this troubled country.
