Chapter 51 The Red Devil is back

After the first round of the group stage, the qualifying situation of each group was still confusing, and there was no time to rest. Then the second round of the group stage started.

The first teams to appear were Belgium and the Czech Republic. In the first round of the group stage, the performance of these two teams could not be said to be ideal. As the defending champion, the Belgian team drew with the host Poland team 1:1, while the Eastern European team Czech Republic was even Russia was severely humiliated 4:1.

In the last European Cup, these two teams had played against each other in the group stage. Although Deegan was absent due to suspension, Belgium still reversed and defeated the Czech team, which directly led to the elimination of the Czech team. Four years later, the two teams The teams met again in the group stages of the European Cup.

This time, Deegan~~~~~~~~~

Deegan appears!

Looking at the tall figure walking at the front of the team, the fans at the scene were stunned for a while and then suddenly made two different sounds.

The fans of the Czech team are naturally booing. After being beaten by Russia in the first round of the group stage, they are now in urgent need of a victory. They originally thought that Belgium had a poor performance against Poland in the first game. In this way, it is definitely not difficult to deal with, but who knows, Belgium actually released such a big killer in this game. What kind of rhythm is this?

Is it intentional?

The Belgian fans burst into cheers. After the draw with the Polish team, they were calling for Deegan to return to the starting lineup, but there was no response at the time. Unexpectedly, in this game, their wish came true. .

It's just that the reporters seemed very confused. They all knew very well about Wilmots' attitude towards Deegan. In the past more than a year, as long as Wilmots had the opportunity, he would spare no effort to discredit Deegan in front of the media. Downplaying his role for the Belgian national team.

This time, although Deegan was proud to be selected for the national team at the last moment, this was just a helpless compromise by Wilmots. After all, the whole country was calling for it, and even the king was interceding for Deegan. Wilmots was No matter how tough he is, he can't withstand such great pressure, but judging from the first game, Wilmots has no intention of using Deegan. Even when the team is lagging behind and about to lose, he has no intention of using Deegan. Plan to give Deegan one minute of playing time.

But what's going on now?

Deegan not only started the game, but also took back the captain's armband.

Looking at Wilmots, although he was sitting on the Belgian coaching bench, his face was gloomy, as if he couldn't recover at all, and he was silent. The same was true for other members of the coaching staff. Everyone seemed to have something wrong. It doesn't matter to me, I didn't pay any attention to this game.

What happened?

Was it the Belgian Football Association that put pressure on Wilmots?

People can only think so. After all, Deegan sidelined Wilmots and became the head of the Belgian national team. This is really terrifying.

At the beginning of the game, the Belgian team took the lead in attacking. What surprised people was that the Belgian national team, whose playing style had become increasingly rough in the past year or so, actually started playing the lightning raid that they were once very good at. .

How long has it been since fans saw such a scene?

It seems that since Deegan left, there has never been such a routine attack.

Football quickly returned to Deegan's feet. After getting the ball, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. In the past season, he was basically an idle player in Barcelona. Only when no one was available on the front line, he Only then will he get a chance to play. Barcelona's head coach Vilanova is not as repulsive to him as Guardiola, but he also seems a little helpless in the face of the pressure of the La Masia gang headed by Messi.

However, not playing consecutive games for a long time seemed to have no impact on Deegan. When the football came to his feet, he was still the majestic dominator on the court.

A diagonal long pass. The ball was not high, but very fast. It accurately found Hazard, who had already accelerated. In this game, Hazard was placed in the winger position by Deegan, and he was on the left. One right, forming two sharp knives, attacking the Czech team's weak wing.

After Hazard received the ball, he almost subconsciously made a pass, but when he heard Deegan shouting, he immediately woke up. Now it is not Wilmots who has the final say for the Belgian team, but Deegan. sweet.

Thinking of this, Hazard's speed suddenly slowed down, and his feet moved very quickly. After pedaling several bicycles in a row, he lightly knocked the ball behind him with the heel of his right foot, then turned around and grabbed the ball. Following the inward cut, this series of dazzling moves made the Czech players who were guarding him completely unable to react and could only watch as Hazard rushed out with the ball.

"here!"

Deegan raised his arms and shouted. Hazard's pass arrived immediately. He calculated the distance, stepped on the starting point, and took a few steps. Deegan was already in front of the Czech team's penalty area. At this time, the defensive player He also rushed over. Deegan slammed his left foot on the ground, drew his bow and shot an arrow. The football came right in front of him, and he volleyed with a powerful kick.

The football flew out against the turf and directly passed through the penalty area. Czech team goalkeeper Petr Cech was blocked by his own defensive players. When the football came in front of him, he realized that something was wrong. A heavy weight fell and he wanted to Block the football from entering the net, but ~~~~~~~ it's too late!

The long-lost ** scream of the Belgian commentator reappears!

"Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod's goal, the standard Rod goal! No one can stop him, no one can knock him down, great goal, great goal, great Goal! Rod! Rod! Rod! A powerful and heavy shot. Czech national goalkeeper Cech had no reaction at all. The Belgian team took the lead. The goal was~~~~~~~~~ Luo~ ~~~~~~德~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

With the shouts of the commentator, the Belgian fans at the scene had already gone crazy. The stands seemed to be set on fire. The shouts of the Belgian fans seemed to tear the Polish night sky apart.

The commentators from other countries who were broadcasting the game were also very excited when they saw this goal. They had not seen such bombardment tactics on the football field for more than a year.

Since Deegan was expelled from the team by Wilmots, Belgian football has become more and more ugly. Big feet forward, physical confrontation, and headers are decisive. That kind of football is obviously not what Belgian players want to see.

Fortunately, with Deegan's appearance, everything seems to be back to square one!

On the court, the Belgian players rushed to Deegan and hugged him. Everyone was shouting. They had been depressed for such a long time. As players, none of them liked Wilmots. A kind of rough football, they also like to play vigorously, making the fans cheer loudly.

Just like eight years ago, after the Greek team created a myth in Portugal, sports media around the world criticized their conservative tactics. The core of the team, Karagounis, once said in an interview: "As a player, I also like With that kind of aggressive style of play, we also hope to play more aggressively, but our overall strength and the characteristics of the Greek team are destined to be impossible. In order to achieve our goals, we can only focus on defense first. , there is nothing we can do about it."

Over the past year or so, every player on the Belgian national team has been living in a nightmare, almost transformed into robots by Wilmots.

Especially for Hazard and Lukaku, their rough football has even affected their status in Chelsea. After Hazard was introduced by Chelsea at a high price, he has been unable to truly become the core of the team, and Lukaku is even more so. After joining, he was loaned out for two consecutive seasons and was unable to get any chance at Chelsea.

Now, everything is back to square one, Deegan is back, Belgium can rediscover their crazy tactics of the past, allowing them to play more freely on the pitch.

This feeling is really long time gone!

On the court, the Belgian players were celebrating crazily. To people's surprise, the team's head coach Wilmots was indifferent. From the beginning of the game, he sat on the coaching bench with his shoulders raised. Now the team scored a goal. Well, he, the head coach, didn't even show any sign of it.

has a problem!

There must be something wrong!

"Wilmots seems to be completely out of the situation, or maybe he didn't see the goal just now. He seems to be an outsider and is completely indifferent to his team's goal?"

Fans don't care what Wilmots is thinking. The Belgian national team's previous series of poor results have long made them extremely disappointed with Wilmots. If it weren't for the European Cup, they would probably have to leave again. He went to the door of the Football Association office building to protest and asked the Belgian Football Association to fire Wilmots.

All they have to do now is cheer and cheer for their team. It's really great to have this long-lost feeling come back.

"Shive! All participating teams in the European Cup, please pray now! I pray that you will not encounter Belgium so early and encounter the European Red Devils who scare everyone! Are you ready? The European Red Devils are back, this time Once and for all, we're going to tear everyone's chests apart!"
