When the Champions League is over, another major event will come, which is the 2012 European Championship, which is co-hosted by two countries for the third time in history, before the Netherlands and Belgium in 2000, Switzerland and Austria in 2008, and this time it was the turn of Ukraine and Poland.

There are three parties applying for the right to host this European Championship: Poland-Ukraine Union, Croatia-Hungary Union, and Italy.

In the end, in the vote of the UEFA Executive Committee, the Polish and Ukrainian bidders won a total of eight votes and finally won the right to host.

In this European Cup, Poland and Ukraine will each have four cities to host the competition, of which four cities in Poland are Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw, and four cities in Ukraine are Kharkiv, Donetsk, Kyiv and Lviv.

As hosts of the tournament, Poland and Ukraine have never hosted a major tournament before, despite having a long tradition of football and success in major tournaments.

Poland finished third in the World Cup in 1974 and 1982, and the Soviet Union won the first European Championship in 1960 before independence, but in the 2006 World Cup, they reached the quarter-finals.

The European Championship is a quadrennial event in European football, and every European player is eager to be a part of it, and 16 teams have basically announced their 23-man squads, except for defending champions Belgium.

It's not that Wilmots continues to hesitate, but his 23-man squad was reported to the Belgian Football Association, but was suppressed by the president of the Football Association, Coles Michael.

There's only one reason, and that's Degan!

Since Wilmots was expelled from the Belgian national team, the former king of the European Red Devils has been almost forgotten by the national team for more than a year.

Although the fans are still calling for Degan to return to the national team, both the Football Association and Wilmots himself have pretended to be deaf and dumb and have remained silent, which has also disappointed the fans.

Now that the final match of the European Championship is about to begin, and there is only one day left before the final declaration list stipulated by UEFA, Belgian fans finally can't sit still, they can't accept a European Cup without Degan.

If the national team had performed well in the European Championship qualifiers, perhaps their voices would not have received much support, but the problem is that Wilmots's national team has been so impressive in qualifying.

Unlike the last time in the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa, when Belgium won a series of devastating games and then easily qualified, this time Belgium's qualification process can be described as a twist and turns, with only a second place in their group and having to play a two-legged play-off against Euro 2004 champions Greece.

In the first leg of the battle between the two teams, the Greek team won 1:0 by virtue of the home advantage, and has grasped the priority of qualifying, and after that game, Belgium almost rioted in the country.

They can't accept this result, they can't accept that as the defending champions of the European Cup, the new World Cup champion will not be able to participate in the main match of the European Cup.

Football has now replaced everything else and has become one of Belgium's most dazzling business cards, representing the country's image, and the current Belgian national team has ruined the Belgian country's business card into what it is now, not to mention the fans, even those who don't watch football much can't stand it.

Protests, petitions, such voices have not stopped for a moment, but it is a pity that Wilmots just turned a deaf ear, and in the second play-off game against Greece, he still did not call Digan into the team.

This time, however, he was lucky, as Romelu Lukaku's two goals saw Belgium knock out Greece and qualify for the tournament.

After the victory, Wilmots said triumphantly at a press conference: "See? It turns out that my team can still win without Degan, and Lukaku is a hundred times better than Degan in my opinion! ”

Wilmots's self-selling boast was not over before he was thrown by angry Belgian reporters, and he also became the second person in the world besides US President George W. Bush to enjoy such a high treatment, and his value doubled for a while.

What made Wilmots even more depressed was that the best player of the game was Lukaku, who he commented that he was a hundred times better than Degan, in an interview after the game, but said: "We are all praying now that the captain can come back, without the captain, we are nothing, we can't even shoulder the great title of the European Red Devils!" ”

"It's hilarious to compare me to the captain, I'm not at the same level as the captain, he's my idol, he's my leader, and in the national team I'm used to him saying to me in the middle of the game 'Hey!' Mr. Lukaku, don't worry, it's a flock of grass chickens on the other side, and we can pinch them all to death with a little bit of effort', I hope to hear that because every time I hear it, it makes me feel reassured, in fact, we are used to the captain leading us to victory! ”

Lukaku's remarks won a round of applause from Belgian fans, and at the same time, many players in the Belgian national team stood up and expressed their hope that Digan could return.

This made Wilmots, who was overjoyed because he led the team to the European Cup, was poured cold water on his head, and he even wanted to ban all the players who called for Digan to come back, but it was a pity that these players covered his entire team, if he really dared to do so, I was afraid that he would immediately receive a notice of dismissal from the Belgian Football Association.

In the qualifiers, it was difficult to qualify, and in the following warm-up games, the performance of the Belgian national team was also unsatisfactory, although there were games such as a 1:1 draw with strong rivals Italy, but there were also humiliating defeats such as a 0:3 defeat to Serbia.

In the face of the increasingly clumsy performance of the national team, Belgian fans can no longer sit still, the former Belgian fans are already satisfied with being able to enter the international competition, but after Digan came, their appetite was also raised, the champion, they want the championship, but relying on the current national team, a national team without Digan, it is obviously too difficult to achieve this goal.

Not to mention the championship, without Digan, it would be good for Belgium to be able to appear in the group at the European Championship.

This is obviously not the result that they have been looking forward to for four years, they want the defending champions, they don't want to be the Greece they were four years ago.

In order to allow Degan to participate in the European Cup, the whole of Belgium took action, not only ordinary people, but even some MPs talked about this matter when they held a meeting, which made the Belgian Football Association feel great pressure.

In the end, even King Albert II of Belgium took the initiative to give an interview: "I am a fan of Rhodes, and our personal relationship is very good, he is a perfect lad, I have always been happy that Belgian sports can have such a good player as him, when he left the national team, it made me very sad, he is a champion, the champion deserves the treatment that the champion deserves, I hope some people can think about it, the European Championship without Deegan is not perfect, this is not only a harm to the Belgian fans, It's a hurt to fans all over the world! ”

It is somewhat surprising that the king, who was originally tired of the Belgian people because of some whimsy, won widespread support from the people because of this incident, and was originally prepared to abdicate in 2013, but was retained by the entire people.

Immediately afterwards, the Belgian crown prince Philippe also stood up and expressed his support for Degan: "Wilmots doesn't understand anything at all, he just made a random decision in order to maintain the authority of his head coach, he may have forgotten that Degan is also thinking about the future of Belgian football, I hope they can sit down and have a good talk, otherwise, in the end, it can only be Belgian football that will be hurt, which is a result that no one wants to see!" ”

Boy! The two most distinguished people in Belgium have spoken, which makes the Belgian Football Association feel a lot of pressure in an instant, and originally decided to support Wilmots, but because Digan's prestige in the country has surpassed that of the Football Association, those officials of the Football Association hope to suppress Digan, so that this unruly stadium fanatic can be obedient.

But later, as Digan became more and more marginalized in Barcelona and even had fewer opportunities to play, Wilmots seized the most perfect reason to completely cut off the way for Digan to return, and although the national team's results in the European Cup qualifiers were not ideal, Wilmots said several times that everything was under control, so the Football Association gradually began to favor Wilmots's side.

But looking at the current situation, the Football Association obviously can't withstand such a big pressure, the sports secretary has asked about this matter several times, if he can't give a satisfactory explanation to the people, I'm afraid that it will cause a big riot across the country, if that happens, Belgium will really lose face all over the world.

At the same time, Dicgan's friends in the football circle have also expressed their support for Digan, and Modric, the core of the Croatian team, said: "Rod is the greatest star on the planet, I can't imagine what the European Championship would be like without him!" It was supposed to be a football extravaganza, but without Rodes, it would have been flat and imperfect! ”

Dugan's best friend Montolivo also gave an interview to reporters afterwards: "I hope that Rod can take this opportunity to take a good rest, because without him Belgium will be no threat, one less competitor is always a good thing for us, but I still want to greet the whole family of Mr. Wilmots, he is a bastard, he is a very bad behavior for a great player!" ”

The head coach of the Italian national team, Prandelli, also said: "Rod is the best player I have ever seen, although I say so, my players will be unhappy, but it is true, Mr. Wilmots said that he is the cancer of Belgian football, this statement is simply ridiculous, I have worked with Rod for four years, what kind of person he is, I know very well, he never causes trouble, he does not make small moves behind his back, he treats everyone very kindly, except of course his enemies, when he was in FlorenceEvery player wants to follow him, he's a natural leader, and even if Rhodes really says something, I don't think it's an offense to the authority of Mr. Wilmots, he's just doing it for the good of Belgian football, and I'm looking forward to Rhodes being in the European Championships, and if Belgium can meet Italy in the final, it will be a very unique experience for me. ”

Not only are Degan's friends, but some of Degan's enemies have also jumped out to express their hope that Degan will be able to catch the last train of the European Championship.

"I hate that guy, yes! It's very annoying, to me that guy is like a fly, it's disgusting, but I still want him to come to the European Championship and I'm going to kill him on the field with my own hands! Wilmots? That's a bastard, a tyrant who doesn't know how to respect his players, he thinks he can succeed without that bastard Degan, it's a joke, he can't do anything without Degan, look at Belgium's performance in the European Championship qualifiers, even the dogs have to laugh! ”

It was unexpected for Golden Mulo to jump out in support of Degan, but if you think about it, it is not surprising, as an opponent, Golden Mauro certainly wants to finish Degan with his own hands, and not miss the battle with Degan because of the imagination of a bastard coach.

Xavi, the core of the Spanish national team, also said: "Although I don't like the cold guy of Degan, but I am very much looking forward to meeting again in the European Championship, last time, we lost in the final, this time, I hope to win back, but now it seems that it has become very difficult for him to even play, but this is okay, we have to thank Mr. Wilmots, he personally took out the most threatening enemy for us!" ”

Hear what people are saying!

When some Belgian fans protested in front of Wilmots's house, they said angrily: "Our opponents are cheering, cheering that they don't have to face Rhodes!" The Belgian fans are protesting and we want to be able to see our captain on the stage of the European Championship and only you are happy, yes! I bet! You bastard must be secretly laughing now, because of your selfishness, Belgian football will become the laughing stock of world football! Is that what you want? ”

As a party to this matter, Degan has gone to England at the moment, accompanied by Zahavi, visited Tottenham Hotspur, but the signing was suppressed by him, Degan's idea is very simple, although it is not easy, but he still hopes to be able to sign with Tottenham Hotspur after playing the European Cup, which can be regarded as a gift to Tottenham fans.

When a reporter interviewed Deegan on the issue of the European Cup, Deegan also made it clear: "Of course, I very much hope to be in Belgium's European Championship squad, but I think it will not be easy, I am very grateful to those teammates, fans, and His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for their support to me, but the decision is not up to me." ”

Degan's attitude has been very clear, his path back is actually very simple, as long as Wilmots and the Belgian Football Federation nod, everything is easy to say.

This is also after two years of stumbling in Barcelona, Degan's temper has subsided, otherwise, if according to his previous temper, he would have announced his retirement as early as when he was expelled from the national team, and Wilmots would not have gone back if he did not kneel in front of him and plead.

Deegan has signalled his return, but Wilmots is still very tough and has not given the fans a satisfactory answer until now, which makes the fans very angry, and they feel that their opinions have been ignored.

As a result, the fans quickly organized, the office building of the Belgian Football Association was quickly surrounded, and the fans waved banners in support of Digan and chanted Digan's name, gathering from all directions, and the number of people was increasing, which has caused traffic paralysis on some roads in Brussels.

"Mark! I'm not talking to you right now, look outside, look at the angry fans, do you want to cause a full-scale riot in Belgium because of football? I'm under a lot of pressure right now! ”

The president of the Belgian Football Association, Coles Michael, roared loudly, and he now regrets very much, why he didn't take the initiative and be more active in the contract renewal negotiations with Antienes, but chose Wilmots in a daze.

If it were Antienes who is now in the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, there would be no such.

Wilmots listened to Colesmichael's roar, his face became more and more gloomy, in fact, his idea of rejecting Deegan was very simple, once, he was a hero of Belgian football, originally after the rise of Degan, he was still very happy, after all, the national team he once fought became the hegemon of world football, but with him sitting in the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, his mind changed.

Because Belgian fans only know that Degan is the leader of the European Red Devils, and they don't care who the manager is, which makes Wilmots more and more dissatisfied, and he wants to replace Degan and become the hero of Belgian football again, and this idea is getting stronger and stronger with the conflict with Degan.

"Nope! I'm not going to let that guy into my national team! Never! ”
