Chapter 122: The Anticipated and Disappointed Opening Battle

The World Cup, in the previous life, Degan could only imagine it in his dreams, but now it has really appeared in his life. Although he has experienced countless big scenes, when Degan is sitting in the locker room, waiting to play During the game, his heart still couldn't calm down.

The dressing room of the Belgian team seemed very quiet, but it wasn't that oppressive quiet. Everyone was just sorting out their equipment, and some players were listening to music to soothe their nerves.

They came to Germany, not just to go through the motions, as Digan said after the victory over Spain, they came here to compete for the honor that belongs to Belgium.

Qualifying from the group stage, reaching the quarter-finals, and the semi-finals, it is no different from going home after the group stage. Since they are here, and since they are standing here, they only want one thing, and that is the final champion.

Some people may think that they are boastful, but first of all, people should not look down on themselves. If even they think it is impossible, they will lose before the game is played.

Antiiennis and François just stood aside. They had already said what should be said many times. At this time, there is nothing more suitable than letting the players take a good rest.

Ukraine is considered a strong team. From the outside world, it is comparable to the strength of Belgium, and even stronger than Belgium, especially Shevchenko on the front line. Although he has just returned from injury, the power of nuclear warheads is not People want to try.

This is the first time for the Ukrainian team to break into the World Cup finals. The timely return of the nuclear warhead Shevchenko is good news for the Ukrainian team. He and Voronin will cause trouble for the Belgians on the front line.

Before the game, Shevchenko said: "I have been waiting for this day for 12 years. This is the most beautiful and important game in my life."

It was a crucial game for Shevchenko, and it was the same for Degan.

When it was time to play, Deegan was the first to stand up, and everyone looked up at him. Deegan suddenly smiled: "Okay! Guys! It's time for the enemy to come! This is the first time on our way to the championship." One game, kill them! Let those fans who support us in the stands enjoy the joy of what football is! Today we will win a big victory in this stadium, and then we will continue to win until we win the World Cup, some people will question Am I talking? No one? Good! Go! Kill the Ukrainians!"

The first game of the World Cup is full of expectations. In this game, Antiiennis still has the young goalkeeper Proto in the defense line, Kompany and Van den Borre partnered as central defenders, and Van Buyten and Heukens scored two points. On the side, Gul, Simmons, Van der Heiger, Bufer and Valasijak were in the midfield. On the front line, Mponsa Jr. was torn off, and Digan served as the single arrow.

"Historically, Belgium has won the third place in the World Cup, but that has nothing to do with us. In fact, we have disappointed the fans for a long time, and even the fans have not placed high hopes on us, but we We will prove that we are a good team game by game, guys! Start today and tell the world that the European Red Devils are back!"

After playing the national anthems of the two teams, Degan walked to the halfway line to pick a side. On the Ukrainian side was his AC Milan teammate Andriy Shevchenko. Coming here today is to kill Ukraine led by Shevchenko.

After picking sides, the Belgian team kicked off first. In the third minute, Simmons went straight from the right, Gur broke into the penalty area and made a cross. Digan's low shot from the edge of the penalty area missed the baseline. This was his first shot in the World Cup. It also shocked the Ukrainians into a cold sweat.

Although he is now wearing the Belgian team uniform, he still couldn't restrain his excitement when he saw the goal was actually scored.

"Good job! Rhodes! We are ahead!" Gull looked at Digan with a hideous face and roared loudly.

Digan gave Gur a big hug, and shouted in his ear: "That's right! We're ahead, keep up the good work, kill them all in one go, and let them know what the European Red Devils are!"

Before the game, people generally believed that this would be a close contest, but when the game actually started, people realized that they were completely wrong.

The Belgian team won an absolute position. With a good free kick opportunity, Degan stood in front of the ball without hesitation. He is now the number one free throw shooter in Belgium. There is no one competing with him for this position.

Simmons feinted a shot, and Degan followed up with a beautiful arc kick to hit the goal. The ball hit the top of the wall and changed its line. The goalkeeper of the Ukrainian team, Schovkovsky, was beyond his reach, 2:0!

Belgium leads by two goals.

This is a two-goal lead, and even the Belgian fans in the stands were stunned. Originally, they only expected the team to win, but now it seems that it is not only a victory, but also the rhythm of a big victory.

The Belgian fans who reacted cheered and celebrated, while the Ukrainian fans fell silent. They couldn't believe that this was the team they supported, and they were already behind by two goals in only 20 minutes since the game started.

Degan shined brilliantly, but Shevchenko, whom they had high hopes for, had very few chances to get the ball.

After leading by two goals, the Belgian team continued to make persistent efforts. They did not start to be conservative because of the lead, but continued to attack aggressively under the leadership of Digan.

The first half of the game was completely controlled by the Belgian team. The Ukrainian team even had very few shots. Proto could even set up a table in front of the goal, drink a cup of coffee, relax, and watch his teammates in front Perform halftime offensive and defensive drills.

At the end of halftime, Belgium led 2:0 and entered the intermission!

"Guys! We did a good job. We let the Ukrainians know that we are good. The game has entered our rhythm. In the second half, we have forty-five minutes. I don't think anyone wants to take this great game. Let the Ukrainians feel our anger, and we must continue to attack in the second half and let the Ukrainians feel our anger. Make them feel the pressure, make them tremble in front of us!"

Degan roared loudly, and some people who passed the door of the Belgian team's locker room could hear it clearly.

"Simmons! Bufer! Don't tell me, you are all exhausted. At the end of the first half, where are your wing assists? I don't want to repeat these damn words, otherwise, you two bastards Just get the hell out of here, Kompany, don't you just stand back and watch? Ukrainians' offense is not as good as shit, you have to press up, press forward, don't turn yourself into a spectator of the game, in the second half we Go all out, kill them, and score as many goals as possible!"

Subsequently, Ukraine had a chance to counterattack. Shevchenko hit the goal with a beautiful instep from the right wing of the penalty area. The ball rubbed against the post and missed the goal.

Turning off the phone, the middle-aged man looked at Digan and muttered to himself: "Boy! Let's release it to your heart's content! Let me see how much energy you really have!"
