In the first round of the group stage of the European Cup, except for Italy's three-goal defeat to the Netherlands, which was a bit of a surprise, there was no big upset, basically it was what should be won, all of them won, and those who didn't win were also not strong.

There was no time to recuperate, followed by the second round of fixtures, which were first played in Group A, with Turkey facing hosts Switzerland, as well as Belgium and the Czech Republic.

The day before the game, the atmosphere on the training ground of the Belgian team was a little tense, and Fellaini, who received a red card in the previous game, was sent to the substitute side, and it was a bit of a surprise to take his place.

Not the Witsek predicted by the media, but Na England!

Degan was doing warm-up training alone on the side as usual, and he didn't have to participate in this kind of group confrontation exercise, not because he wanted to be lazy, but because Antienes was afraid that he would get hurt.

"Rod!" Antienes beckoned to Degan.

Hearing this, Degan ran towards Antienes: "Coach! What are the commands! ”

Degan seemed very relaxed, he couldn't play in the group stage, but he was so nervous that he tossed himself insomnia, which didn't help the team in any way.

Antienes stared at the training ground with a pair of eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Rod! Radgar doesn't seem to have adapted to his position yet! ”

Naeng's current situation, Degan is also very clear, he plays in Piacenza in a wide position, but in the national team, he has become a small accomplice next to Gul, although Degan knows that Naeng will eventually become famous in the position of central midfielder and midfielder, but at present, he has not realized his potential.

Naeng on the training ground is obviously a little restrained, can't let go of his hands and feet, when defending, it's not bad, there is a veteran Gul by his side, his defensive pressure is not very big, and he runs very actively, although not as good as Fellaini's physical beast, but Naeng is very smart, knows how to save physical energy, let his defensive area cover a larger area.

In this regard, England has improved a lot, at least much better than when he first came to the national team.

However, the attack that Deegan and Antienes expected was not shown at all, according to Antienes' tactical arrangement, Naeng should be a very important point in the team's attack, Na England has a long shot, especially from outside the penalty area diagonally to a 45-degree position is very powerful.

It's just that now that kid seems to have forgotten his weapon, or is afraid of making mistakes, and always shrinks back, and even the full-time defensive midfielder Gul is higher up than him.

"That kid seems to be too cautious!"

Naeng has such a performance, and Degan understands it, after all, it is a new position, and he is a newcomer to the national team, he is afraid of making mistakes, and he is afraid of conceding goals because of himself.

But~~~~~~~~

"Radgar!" Deegan suddenly shouted, "Press it up!" Are you going to hide behind and watch the show? ”

On the training ground, the main side is attacking, Dembele received a pass from Martens on the side, was about to break through, Vertonghen pressed out at the first time, and Mirallas on the penalty line was stared at by the veteran Hojkens, Dembele took the ball, and there was no point around him.

Degan's roar stunned all the players on the training ground, and Naelin's body, who was still in the middle line, trembled violently, and he still remembered the bloody situation when Degan scolded Fellaini and Dembele in the dressing room that day.

Offensive!?

Naeng was ruthless and rushed towards the substitute's half, the ball passed to Simmons' feet after the pass, Naeng shouted and fired a direct long-range shot.

When he was in Piacenza, he played on the left side, but his body was not strong, his speed was not fast, and his technique was not outstanding, he had almost no bright spots, and the only thing he could do was this kind of long-range shot that was inserted in the back, which was his forte, his long-range shot did not pay attention to power, but pursued the angle, and directly dropped the far post.

Naeng's long-range shot arc was very large, Bailly was caught off guard, and hurriedly retreated towards the far post, but the speed of the person, how could it be faster than the football, so he could only lean back with all his might, stretched out his arms, and wanted to fish the ball out.

Boom!

Naeng's long-range shot was brilliant, but unfortunately he was a little less lucky, smashed on the far post and bounced back.

"Excellent! Radgar! Just like that, you are part of the team's attack, don't be afraid to lose the ball, press when you see the opportunity! Do you understand? ”

Although the ball didn't go in, but just now Na England inserted the attack, the running position is very smart, probably also related to the fact that he has been playing the wing position, and the subsequent long shot, although he did not score, but the play is also very exciting.

When Naeng heard Degan's praise, his original tension was instantly swept away and he became excited.

Turns out I can too!

Before Naeng England in the national team to anyone in the heart of a little inferior, his teammates, not only Digan superstars, but also Kompany, Van Bitten such stars who play for giants, other teammates also play for well-known teams at home and abroad, only he, a small role from Serie B, even in Piacenza he is not the absolute main force.

was originally a little shy, coupled with this inferiority complex, so that he spent every day in the national team trembling, for fear that his slightest mistake would make him disqualified from participating in this kind of international competition.

But now, with that tension gone, Naeng is starting to look forward to his future with the national team, and he has been placed on the main side of the last two days of training, and Naeng is well aware that he will likely be a regular in the team for the next game against the Czech Republic.

In the past two days, Naeng England has been tossed by this incident and can't even sleep well, and he has some expectations and worries in his heart.

Having already lost to Turkey, the team has now been cornered, and the game against the Czech Republic cannot be lost again in any case, and if there is another problem, Belgium will have to pack up and go home.

Naeng is looking forward to playing for Belgium in this do-or-die match, but he is worried about whether he will be able to cope with this crucial game, and if his mistake leads to the loss of the team, he does not know if he will have the courage to stand on the pitch in the future.

But now, with this long-range shot, all worries have been shattered, and it is as if all the problems have been solved.

Antienes was also a little surprised: "That kid seems to have opened his mind!?" ”

After the attack just now, Naeng England has indeed changed, the defense is still the same conscientious, running actively, although the frontal defensive ability is still not good, but his attitude is very good, often he is like a kraft candy defense, can buy time for his teammates to return to the defense, when attacking, he also began to dare to plug in, when it is time to shoot, he is not soft, he is completely a different person.

"If he can perform like that tomorrow, we have a better chance!"

The reason why Antienes agreed without hesitation when Digan recommended Naeng to replace Fellaini was also because of Naeng's longitudinal impact ability, don't look at Naeng's figure is not strong, but this Indonesian descendant has excellent physical fitness and outstanding running ability.

Fellaini, the midfield meat grinder, the gate in front of the back line can not play, the first thing Antienes has to do is to enhance the defensive ability of the midfield, Vitesek's attacking ability is very strong, but the defensive strength is much worse, in fact, Antienes's choice is only one Na England, and Na England is the main position, it is also a gamble, the bet wins, everything is fine, if you lose, when the time comes, what awaits Antienes is doomed.

The next day, the day of the match arrived, and the match between Belgium and the Czech Republic was still held in Geneva, and before this match, there was a match between Turkey and Switzerland.

Although the Swiss team has the advantage of being at home, but after watching Turkey's performance in the last game, it is estimated that no one will think that they have a chance to defeat the Star and Moon Army, and it can be said that as the host, the fate of the Swiss team has been basically determined.

The only suspense in Group A is who will get the second knockout ticket between the Czech Republic and Belgium.

Before going to the stadium, Antienes announced the starting list for this game, the goalkeeper is still Bailly, although he conceded two goals in the last game, but those two goals were not his responsibility, it can be said that if there is no Bailly, Belgium will only lose more in the last game.

From left to right in the back line, Lombarts, Kompany, Vermaelen and Van Bitten, in the previous game with Turkey, Belgium had three lines, and the best performance was the back, although there were not many opportunities for assists on the two wings, but the defense was very solid.

The only change in midfield was for Naeng to replace the suspended Marouane Fellaini, with Simmons, Gool and Martens the other three.

On the forward line, Mirallas is still in front, Dembele is behind, in the last game, the two have formed a tacit understanding, although after the game, Digan was furious, but I have to admit that Mirallas and Dembele are the best dedication options for the Belgian team at present.

When Naeng heard that he was the main player, although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be a little nervous and excited when he heard Antienes' own announcement, this is his first time representing the national team in an international competition!
