Chapter 128 Don't Lose

Chapter 128 Don't Lose

Belgium faced the world champion France in the 1/8 finals. This is undoubtedly a not-so-optimistic result. Probably no one thought that France would encounter so many obstacles in the group stage. Switzerland, South Korea, Togo, etc. In terms of strength, these three opponents are not at the same level as France at all, but in the group stage, the main board revolutionized and almost made France, a local tycoon.

The Ukrainians should be thankful that the second place in the group allows them to relax a bit in the next game. If Shevchenko can maintain his state in the last game of the group stage, maybe they can participate in the World Cup for the first time. Just broke into the quarterfinals.

Compared with the thunderous cheers in Ukraine, the Belgian fans lamented for a while. Even these supporters didn't think their team could break through the French barrier.

Of course, Degan doesn't think so. France is indeed the favorite to win the championship, but the favorite is not invincible, especially the current French team also has many problems.

The defensive line is old and the attacking power of the forward line is insufficient, so what if they have the world's number one star Zidane in charge? Creativity is enough, but what lies ahead is not a sharp knife, and there is no way to turn creativity into goals.

In addition to not wanting to hastily end his first World Cup trip in the first knockout round, Degan has another reason why he must not lose.

As long as France is eliminated, Belgium will face the winner between Brazil and Ghana in the next round.

Degan doesn't think Ghana can defeat Brazil. In his previous life, although the Brazilian team lost to France in the quarter-finals and ended the 2006 World Cup prematurely, there is no doubt that the current Brazilian team In terms of strength, the team definitely surpassed the runner-up team in 1998 and the champion team in 2002.

The goalkeeper position has Dida, a world-class goalkeeper, and Cafu and Carlos are old and strong in the defense. The combination of Lucio and Juan has a toughness and tenacity that Brazilian players do not have.

In the midfield, Ze Roberto, Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Emerson are all top players in the world. The offensive combination of Adriano and Ronaldo on the front line is absolutely super.

In the three games in the group stage, they defeated Croatia 1-0 in the first game. Although there was only one goal, the Brazilian team's offensive has firmly controlled the initiative of the game from beginning to end.

In the second match, the Brazilians told the whole world that it is not enough to play football well by just putting a ball on the national flag. 3:1, Brazil allowed R himself to go to the country without any demands after two group matches. Facing the last opponent.

At the same time, a record was born in this game. Ronaldo scored twice, surpassing the German Muller and becoming the player with the most goals in the World Cup.

In the last game against Australia, the Brazilian team finally ushered in a hearty victory with 4:0. In this game, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho and Fred each scored a goal, showing Brazil's super offensive ability.

Although the Ghana team did well in their World Cup debut, beating the United States and the Czech Republic and qualifying smoothly, but it is still a bit reluctant for the young Ghana to overcome the difficulty of Brazil.

The Brazilian team will definitely enter the quarter-finals. If Belgium loses at this time, he can imagine what kind of nonsense that Pereira, who he can't look down on, will say after the game.

In fact, since the beginning of the World Cup, the topic surrounding Degan and Pereira has never stopped. The reason is that Pereira placed high hopes on him, which directly led to Degan's withdrawal from the Brazilian team and his performance in favor of Belgian center forward Adriano. , It's really hard to satisfy people, three games, one goal, and the goal of r's own team, the weakest team in the group, was captured.

Where's Digan?

The group stage only played two games, but contributed two hat-tricks. If it weren't for the last round of the group stage, Antiiennis chose to give more players a chance when the team had already appeared, and let Digan take a break by the way , people have reason to believe that after the group stage, Degan will be able to lock the best player.

Comparing the two, even some people in Brazil began to discuss that it was a big mistake for Pereira to force Digan out of the national team.

If Degan is still in the national team, with his super scoring ability and the tacit understanding between the Wright brothers, Brazil's defending World Cup champion will basically be much easier.

Of course, such remarks are meaningless now. The Wright Brothers cannot play a duet for Brazil on the stage of the World Cup. On the contrary, when they meet, they can only be opponents.

The two brothers of the same mother are playing for two national teams respectively, and now they may even compete face to face on the stage of the World Cup, and those onlookers were immediately excited.

There has never been a precedent for such a situation in the previous World Cups, and no one thought that this World Cup could actually contribute such a big gimmick.

Soon some good people gave a comparison of the Wright Brothers in all aspects. The first is the scoring ability. There is no doubt that in this aspect, Degan has an overwhelming advantage. Although Kaka is not bad, but in terms of scoring Ability is still much worse than Digan.

In addition, the core roles in the two national teams of Brazil and Belgium are equal. Although the Brazil team does not have a fixed core player now, Kaka's role is beyond doubt, especially in the national team. After Waldo withdrew from the national team, Kaka seemed to have taken over the banner of commanding Brazil's offense.

Not to mention Degan's role in the Belgian national team, all of Antiiennis' tactics revolve around Degan.

However, in terms of tactical execution ability, Kaka will have the upper hand. He does not have the loose style of ordinary Brazilian players. No matter what tactics, he can execute them perfectly. Will dedicate a good improv performance or two for people, but most of the time, he is playing the role of a qualified tactical executor.

In comparison, Degan is much worse in this aspect. When he is on the court, he relies more on his personal ability to help the team advance. The tactics are not obvious in him. Most of the time, he seems to be dissociated from the overall strategy.

In any case, the Wright brothers' infighting is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this World Cup.

Kaka and Digan are also very aware of this, and they still have some expectations in their hearts.

But even so, even if I feel the same excitement in my heart, Degan is unwilling to show it when facing outsiders: "Brazil!? I don't think it's a good time to talk about Brazil, or you are ignoring France. Existence, our next opponent is France, only after defeating France, we need to consider the next issue, and even if we can make it to the next round, the opponent may not necessarily be Brazil, don't forget, Ghana is not a country Weak team!"

Although Digan spoke with great confidence, everyone could see that his words were duplicity, including of course Kaka, who knew him best.

"Rods! Don't lose until you meet us!"

Digan didn't expect Kaka to call him at this time, and said with a smile: "Of course, Ricardo! I want to see that damned old man Pereira with a sad face in his dreams!"

The reason why he made up his mind to withdraw from the Brazilian national team was mostly because Degan felt that he was ignored by Pereira. How could Degan, who had a strong self-esteem, bear it? , and a French one.

Kaka knows how deep Digan's resentment towards Pereira is, but~~~~~~

"Rod! Don't be too confident, the current Brazil is recognized as the strongest Brazilian team!"

"I know! But the strongest Brazilian team is led by an old bastard! That bastard's teaching level is just that."

Kaka couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and Digan's tone sounded like a child losing his temper.

"Rod! I don't want to argue with you about this right now. I just called you to remind you that France is not easy to deal with. They are used to slow progress in big competitions. Now that the group stage is over, I think they will also adjust Come here, when the time comes, don't lose because you underestimate the enemy!"

underestimate the enemy?

Does Belgium have this qualification?

Anything can happen on the stage of the World Cup, not to mention the opponent is the world champion France, even the Maldives, they have to be careful.

"Riccardo! For me, no opponent can be underestimated! I will give it to you. Garner is not as weak as people think. You better be careful. I don't want you to yn The boat capsized in the ditch, of course, if you lose, it will be good news for me, and our next game will be easier! In addition, in order for you and Caroline to get married as soon as possible, I think it is necessary for me to send you Out!"

Before the start of the World Cup, Kaka had announced that he would hold a wedding with Caroline after the World Cup.

Seeing that Digan actually brought up this matter, Kaka was helpless. He knew that when it came to bickering, he would not be Digan's opponent even if he tried his best, so he ended the conversation wisely: "Rod! Remember , don't lose, although I would prefer to fight side by side with you, but if there is a chance to compete, I think that kind of feeling is not bad!"

Digan smiled: "You are the same, Ricardo! I don't want you to be defeated by some people who don't know what to say. The only person who can defeat you is me!"

Kaka smiled, remembering what Digan said to him back then: One day I will surpass you and let the whole world know who is the strongest of the Wright family!

"Okay! I'm waiting for you!"
