Chapter Ninety-Seven: Belgium
Updated: 2013-10-17
The head coach of the Belgian national team, Antienes, actually came to the door to find Digan in person?
Degan looked at the old man in front of him, and he was also puzzled in his heart, of course he had heard the news that he could obtain Belgian citizenship before, but joining the Belgian national team, Degan had never thought about it.
The Red Devils have been in decline since the 2002 Shijie Cup, and in Euro 2004, they didn't even make it to the main event.
Especially after Wilmots announced his retirement from the national team, the results of Belgian football have plummeted, and now it has almost become second-rate in Europe and joined the Belgian national team?
After being forced to give up football in his previous life, Degan never let go of his love for football, and he naturally paid a lot of attention to Shijie football.
The revival of the Belgian national team is not far away, but their national team results have not been good, and the most important problem is the internal friction of the Dutch and French departments.
In the Belgian national team, the Dutch language department has always occupied a mainstream position, and even directly gave the previous head coach to the river crab, and the most expensive Belgian star in later generations Hazard is from the French department, so although he has a lot of influence in shijie football, but in the Belgian national team, many players do not like him.
The late famous Belgian football coach who led the Belgian team to great glory in the 80s of the last century Tiese famously said: "Never call a Walloon into the national team, no matter how good he is." ”
This is the advice of Tiess to his successor, Van Simst, before he stepped down from the Belgian national team in 1992. Later, Van Simst, who succeeded him, did not heed the advice of his predecessor Ties, and not only called in Walloons, but also set a precedent for recruiting players of Belgian foreign origin, such as Croatian Webb and Brazilian Oliveira.
Later, Rickens even recruited the Mpensa brothers, who have Congolese ancestry, and Vasegi also recruited the Croatian Strupa, but the conflict between the Fleish players and the Walloon players has never been resolved. The Belgian national team soon split into two groups of players, even in training and living with the national team.
A few years ago, the Belgian public television station RTBF had a ridiculous incident a few days ago, and a fictional news story was suddenly inserted on the program, saying that "the Dutch-speaking Flanders region has declared independence", "the king has left the country", and "Belgium no longer exists". Although the words "pure fiction" were later typed on the screen, the news shocked the whole country, and many people gathered at the palace with national flags.
For a long time, Belgium was divided between the Flemish and Walloons, with the former speaking Dutch, claiming to be intelligent and industrious, and somewhat dismissive of the Wallonia. The latter speaks French and has a lot of criticism of the former.
Belgium has always existed like this, and Brussels, located in the Flemish region, has a French-speaking city center due to its historical development, and all the signs are in French and Dutch, making it a unique sight in the heart of Europe.
As Ties said, his national team is adamant not to recruit Wallonia. Therefore, the famous Belgian stars Pfaff, Celemans, Van der Elst, Predholm and others are all Flemish, while Shifo is of Italian descent, so the Flemish who only hate Wallonians do not reject him, on the contrary, they can get along with him.
Flemish and Walloon have both had excellent stars, but it is difficult to unite, in fact, the biggest problem facing the Belgian team is not tactics, not jishu, not lack of talent, but these talents come from Flemish and Walloon respectively.
Is it true that the Walloons will not be recruited again, as Tis said, or that the Belgian national team will be divided into the Flemish national team and the Walloon national team?
Therefore, the biggest enemy of the Belgian team's poor record is not their lack of strength, but Flemish and Wallonia.
With such a team accustomed to internal friction, what can Deegan do even if he joins?
In the Brazilian national team, just because of the battle for position, there is already a lot of trouble, but in the eyes of Belgium, it is simply naked racial hatred.
Antienes got straight to the point: "Rodrigo! I'm sure you already know my intentions, and I hope you can join the Belgian national team and play for Belgium in the Shijie Cup qualifiers! ”
And so it was!
Digan looked at Antienes, and after a while, he said: "I think you should have heard about me, now everyone is saying that I am a cancer, the current situation of the Belgian national team, the dispute is already very serious, aren't you afraid that after I join, Belgium will become more chaotic?" ”
What Digan said, Antienes didn't seem to be worried at all, and smiled: "No! Of course not, I know that you are a player with a lot of character, you must have your reasons for refusing to play, I don't care about that, all I care about is your quality and how many goals you can score for Belgium! ”
Digan smiled when he heard this, and said, "You really have so much confidence in me that you think I can bring victory to Belgium?" ”
Antienes nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, in today's shijie football, I really can't find a striker player who is better than you, you can bring a qualitative leap to the strength of the Belgian national team, I am very confident, how about it?" Want to come? I know you want to be able to play in next year's Shijie Cup, but it's impossible to represent Brazil, but you can still represent Belgium! You were born there, and Belgium is your homeland! ”
Playing the emotional card?
If the emotional card had worked, Deegan wouldn't have made himself infamous by refusing to play out in a moment of anger.
However, if you can play for the Belgian national team, it is indeed a good choice for Degan, although Belgian football is at a low ebb now, but what about the future?
Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Vertonghen are some of the brightest names in Shijie football.
However, these people also belong to three factions at the same time, and factional battles exist in the future when the Belgian national team is at its most star-studded.
Flemish faction: Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Martens, Gillet, Alderweireld, De Four, Watson, De Bruyne, Simmons, Mertens, Courtois, Mignolet.
Wallonia: Hazard, Mirallas, Van Bitten, Bolaite, Poconioli.
There are also players with foreign roots: Marouane Fellaini, Kompany, De Camargo, Gonzalez, Benteke, Romelu Lukaku, Vitsel, Van den Boray, Dembele, Chadley.
These people are like fighting for an egg, starting to peel the skin from that direction, and they are constantly arguing and boring.
Just thinking about it gives Deegan a headache.
Antienes obviously guessed Degan's worries, he knew his own family affairs, he was a Flemish faction, but he also felt that those fights were meaningless except for affecting the team's combat effectiveness, so when he was the head coach, he brought in Van Bitten of Wallonia and the Mponsa brothers of foreign origin.
However, in order to dispel Degan's vigilance, Antienes still felt that Degan should be given greater trust, power, and of course, it could also be called temptation: "Rodrigo! If you want to join the Belgian national team, I can appoint you as captain! Everything in the team, except for the composition and tactical arrangement, is all up to you! ”
When Degan heard this, his heart was shocked, and this was more than just trust: "Monsieur Antienes! Are you ~~~~~~ serious!? ”
Antienes nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, I also know that there are a lot of problems in Belgium now, and it's time for a change, Rodrigo!" I believe you have the ability to make a difference to the Belgian national team, to bring them together, so that everyone can unite and move towards one goal! ”
Deegan has to admit that he is indeed moved, the temptation given by Antienes is too great, Antienes clearly wants to make Degan the real master of the Belgian national team!
Death for a confidant!
As a Chinese, Di Gan naturally knew that there was such a sentence, and in the face of Antienes' expectant eyes, Di Gan finally made up his mind, nodded heavily, and said, "Mr. Antienes!" No! It's the coach! I am willing to accept your invitation! ”
Let Deegan finally agree to Antienes' invitation, not only because of this trust, but also because of the temptation of the Shijie Cup, which is the biggest banquet in football, and Deegan does not want to miss it.
Antienes didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and it was definitely a surprise to be able to call Digan into the Belgian national team, Belgium is now not doing well in the European qualifiers, with two wins, two draws and two losses after six games, accumulating eight points, only ranking fourth in the seventh group, behind Spain, Serbia and Montenegro and Lithuania, and the qualifying situation is extremely unoptimistic.
But with Degan, the situation is certainly different, and Antienes believes that Deegan can bring about a big change in Belgium. With such an attacking weapon as Deegan on the front line, then everything will be easy.
Sending away Antienes, Digan immediately called Mendes, these days because of what he made trouble, Mendes is also under great pressure, those sponsor representatives will not because Digan broke the Serie A single-season goal record, they will open up to him, have asked Mendes to eliminate the negative impact of Digan's refusal to play.
But now it's good!
"Belgium!?" Mendez groaned for a while and said, "That's a good choice!" Although Belgium is far inferior to Brazil in terms of influence, Belgium is a European team, and that's enough! ”
Digan said, "What do you think I should do!?" ”
Mendes advised: "Contact Antienes immediately, ask him to communicate with the Belgian Football Federation, call you into the Belgian national team with great fanfare, and then we will have a press conference to announce this!" ”
Degan knew about this matter, Mendes was more professional, and these things naturally had to be handed over to Mendes to do, and Mendes also complained a lot about this.
"Rod! I'm not your agent alone, but now it looks like I'm just like your babysitter! ”
Deegan laughed, "Don't complain! Buddy! It's good for you too! ”
Antienes agreed very happily, and the Belgian Football Association naturally didn't have any opinions, they didn't want a certain organization in the Celestial Empire to care so much about face or something, and called Digan into the national team, which in itself was a great opportunity to enhance the influence of Belgian football, and they had no reason not to agree.
There was a lot of uproar about Degan's refusal to play, but even more exciting news came out that the head coach of the Belgian national team actually wanted to recruit Deegan to join the Belgian national team.
"Rodrigo is a very good player, any football coach would be proud to have such a player, I am very happy that Degan is more than able to accept our invitation, in the Belgian national team, Degan will have more trust and will take on more responsibility, I have discussed it with Gul and he is very welcome to join him and is willing to give up his position as captain!"
Degan! Is the ratio the captain of the national men's soccer team?
This shijie is simply crazy!
But is all this really true?
Soon Digan held a press conference to announce his decision: "Coach Antienes did find him, he felt that I was suitable for the Belgian style of football, and he told me about his dreams, the future jihua, I was very interested, and he showed his trust in me, so I decided to say yes to his invitation!" ”
There were also reporters from Brazil who immediately asked: "Does your decision mean that you have turned your back on your country?" ”
Turn your back on the country!?
This hat is too big!
Digan sneered and said: "It was Brazil that gave up on me, I didn't give up Brazil, and Deco was also selected for the Portuguese national team, do you say that he is a traitor?" Don't be stupid, that's because Brazilian football has never really valued us, and if I had to turn my back on Brazil, I wouldn't have been played by that bastard Pereira like a clown! ”
After the refusal to appear was revealed, Deegan fired at Pereta for the first time.
"I don't think I'm as good as Adriano, in fact, the conflict on the training ground was not caused by me, if you go and interview those players you will know the truth of the matter, of course the authority of the manager, I also respect it very much, but it doesn't mean that I will silently accept ignorance, fooling, when there were less than two minutes left in the game, Pereira asked me to warm up, play, am I God? Am I Superman? And he didn't even tell me what to do when I got on the field, he just wanted to make a fool of me! ”
Degan really wished Pereira to say this, but now it makes no sense to say anything, since Pereira directly put a "unpatriotic" hat on Degan's head, Deegan naturally can't be polite.
This incident immediately shocked the entire shijie football world, if it was a nobody, people naturally wouldn't care, in football shijie, suddenly changed nationality, there are not a few people who play on behalf of other countries, but digan is not a nobody, he is the hottest star in shijie football.
The Brazilian media soon protested and even took the matter to FIFA, because FIFA has a rule that players who ghostwrite a team to play cannot represent another country.
It's a pity that Digan has zero appearances for the Brazilian national team, once watching Brazil win over Peru from the stands, and once sitting on the bench for 90 minutes to witness Brazil's defeat to Argentina. Therefore, Degan is fully qualified to represent the Belgian national team in the competition.
Degan made the decision, and in Brazil, he was accused of treason, and his family was disgusted by it.
"Rodrigo! I command you to take back your terrible decision at once, you cannot betray your homeland! "Bosque went straight to Bergamo and lashed out at Digan.
Hell motherland!
Degan said indifferently: "This is impossible, I have already made a decision, and I will not change it again!" And I don't think it's a betrayal, since the Brazilian national team doesn't look down on me, I can't make a new choice! ”
Of course, if the Brazilian national team had not recruited Digan before, Digan would have changed his nationality, and others would naturally not be able to say anything, but now that this matter is so big, Bosque is also under a lot of pressure.
"You don't need to say it anymore, my decision will not change, others can say whatever they like! I don't care! ”
Degan can not care, but his family can't not care, especially Kaka, who was simply stunned when he learned that Degan was actually going to join the Belgian national team.
Originally, Kaka was still holding on to intercede for Degan after the influence of this matter was eliminated, but he didn't expect Degan to make a choice in advance, and it was so intense.
"Rod! Have you really decided? Kaka didn't come directly, but called Degan.
Digan said: "Yes! Ricardo! I think we're really going to have to be opponents for the rest of our lives, I'm sorry, I know you want to play alongside me in the national team, but I messed things up! ”
Kaka knew that it would be useless to persuade Digan at this time, so he could only accept the reality: "No! Rod! I know it's not your fault, okay! It's also a good choice, and I hope you can make it to the Shijie Cup, but, Rod! I have insight and I want to remind you, in the Belgian national team, you have to control your temper, there is more chaos than Brazil, I heard that you are already the captain, since you are the captain, you have to travel this responsibility, I know you can do it! ”
Listening to Kaka's words, the dark cloud that originally shrouded Di Gan's heart disappeared in an instant, and he smiled: "Of course! I know, I can do it well, Ricardo! You should have believed me all along! ”
