Chapter 106: Comfort
After Deegan scored his third goal of the game, taking his tally to 20 goals in the World Cup, the game was completely out of suspense.
The huge difference in strength made it very difficult for the South Koreans to attack the half, and when the game reached the 75th minute, the South Korean team had only two shots on goal.
South Korean team coach Heo Ding-mao had high hopes that the main striker Park Joo-yong completely disappeared in this game, although Park Ji-sung had a free kick directly on the goal, but it was still far from scoring.
The game was no longer meaningful, and Degan was replaced by manager Antienes after the goal, and he needed to conserve his energy for the final round against Argentina at the top of the table.
In the third minute after Degan's departure, substitute Mirallas scored his second goal of the World Cup to make it 6-0.
The Korean fans in the stands are starless at the moment, Digan's girlfriend Park Ji-yeon, and her members are already crying at the moment.
Although the Koreans are shameless, there are some qualities that can only be admired, such as their strong mental power, which is not unique to the North Koreans, until the last minute of the game, the South Korean team was still attacking, it seemed that time had nothing to do with them, but when the three final whistles blew, all the players suddenly burst into tears, and eleven players stood on the turf as if they were petrified and pressed the pause button.
Belgium showed up early, and all the players rushed into the field, excitedly celebrating, and qualifying from the group, making them one step closer to the pre-match goal of winning the title.
Degan was surrounded by his teammates, and the hat-trick in this game made him score 20 goals on the World Cup stage, even if Deegan does not score from now on, his record may not be broken for a long time.
The team's head coach, Antienes, also took to the pitch, hugging and celebrating with every player.
This was the last international tournament that Antienes led Belgium to participate in, and he had already decided not to renew his contract with the Belgian Football Federation before the start of the World Cup.
However, in the years of leading the Belgian national team, he has won enough honors, a World Cup runner-up, a European Cup champion, an Intercontinental Cup champion, and possibly a World Cup champion, as a head coach, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, and there are no regrets.
After Antienes leaves the Belgian national team, he will be replaced by Belgian legend Wilmots, who will continue to move forward under a younger manager.
The excitement of the Belgian players was set off by the huge disappointment of the South Korean players, when the game was over, the goalkeeper of the South Korean team, Jung Sung-ryong, sat down in the goal, his tears and rain flowed down his cheeks, saying that he did his best in this game, but the result of the game was a complete disaster for him.
Conceding six goals, although most of them are not his responsibility, but conceding six goals in one game, as the main goalkeeper of the South Korean team, is obviously unforgivable.
Zheng Chenglong is tragic enough to say, he only won the main position of South Korea for the first time in this World Cup, he has always been Li Yunzai's substitute, and finally the millennium daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law, but he had to face two games and the embarrassing fate of conceding ten goals in a row.
At this time, the old goalkeeper Li Yunzai came over from the bench, he pulled up Zheng Chenglong and hugged him tightly, this is likely to be Li Yun's last World Cup in active service, he has said that he will no longer participate in the national team after this World Cup, he has taken off his gloves to wipe away the tears on his face for his juniors, and the two of them hugged each other and walked off the court.
The so-called robot Che Duri looked like a ruthless man, but he cried the loudest and howliest at the moment, and the first goal conceded by South Korea in the game was directly related to him, and it was after Degan broke through from his left side that he crossed and helped teenager Romelu Lukaku score a goal.
Deegan was about to leave the game when he suddenly found Park Ji-sung, the captain of the South Korean team, walking towards him with the jersey he had just taken off.
If it had been before, Deegan would have ignored it, a loser is not qualified to ask the winner to do anything, and a winner has no need to show mercy to the loser.
But this time, after a while, Deegan took off his jersey and completed the exchange with Park Ji-sung, who made his girlfriend Park Ji-yeon.
After exchanging jerseys, Digan walked off the court without any communication with Park Ji-sung, and then accepted an interview with reporters shirtless.
"I don't want to make too many comments on the game, the group stage is just the beginning, two wins in a row, we have already made sure to advance, and then the last game against Argentina, as for the South Korean team, I can see that they played very hard today, but there is no way, sometimes, spirit or something, it is not the deciding factor on the football field, there is too much gap between them and us, so with today's game, it's that simple!"
After saying that, Deegan walked straight off the field and walked towards the locker room.
The soul of South Korean football, captain Park Ji-sung, also gave an interview after the game, and he also reconfirmed that this will be his last World Cup, after which he will retire from the national team.
Park Ji-sung, who is only 29 years old this year, said in an interview with South Korean reporters in the mixed interview area: "My World Cup is over, we have worked hard, but today's result is a bit of a pity, there is still one game ahead, although it is impossible to appear in the group, but we will still do our best to fight for the dignity of Korean football!" ”
Regarding the fans' desire to play in the World Cup for another time, Park Ji-sung said: "The national team is not an all-star team, the national team is not formed because of the hopes of the fans, whether I can play the best level on behalf of the national team is important, the national team is the embodiment of strength, I am glad that the fans have this wish, but I should give more opportunities to young people." ”
In the post-match press conference, Antienes also praised his players: "I am very happy with the performance of the players, they did not relax because the opponent was worse than us, after taking the lead, the strong fighting spirit of the players on the pitch and the desire to score goals made me very happy, I would like to congratulate Rode, he has scored 20 goals in the World Cup, I want to say that he is great now, no one will object!"
"There is still one game left in the group stage, and although we have already qualified, we will still do our best to win the group, and I think that's what the players want!"
Everyone knows who the players Antienes is talking about, and it is obviously Degan, who must hope to be able to play against Argentina in the final round of the group stage, of course, mainly with Messi on the big stage of the World Cup.
Before the game, this year's South Korean national team is known as the strongest lineup in history, although it is in a group with Argentina, Belgium and Nigeria, but for the group appearance, and even to the quarterfinals, South Korea generally seems full of confidence.
But after two games, two defeats, conceding ten goals in a row, and scoring only one goal, it is obviously too far from what people expected before the game.
"The responsibility for the loss is mine, my players have done their best, they should not be criticized, although we have only one last game left in the World Cup, but we will still do our best to restore the dignity we lost!"
After two rounds of Group B, there is no suspense, Belgium and Argentina, who have won two games, are the first to appear, and in the final round, they will compete for the top spot in the group face to face, while Nigeria and South Korea, who have lost two games, can only fight for their dignity.
Digan returned to the locker room, and after taking a shower, he was called by Park Ji-yeon, but was hung up directly by the little girl, and it can be seen that because of the fiasco of the Korean team, Park Ji-yeon's opinion is not small.
Deegan was not angry, and continued to fight unremittingly, in the words of his teammates, Deegan called, was rejected, and then continued to call, and was rejected again, and so on, the appearance of persistence was extremely cheap.
Finally, Park Ji-yeon's little tsundere was finally disintegrated under the repeated efforts of Di Gan: "OPPA! ”
When Di Gan heard Park Ji-yeon's aggrieved voice, he couldn't help laughing: "What? Still angry? ”
Park Ji-yeon snorted, watching her country be eliminated by her boyfriend, it was impossible to say that she was not angry.
In fact, Park Ji-yeon also knows that her anger is unreasonable, Deegan is just doing his duty as a member of the national team, and he can't really let go of the water in order to take care of her emotions!
If so, is it still Degan?
"OPPA is too much! Can't you save us a little bit of face? What really makes Park Ji-yeon angry is that after Digan completed his hat-trick, the crazy celebration was already so far ahead, is it necessary to be excited like that?
"Moreover, because of OPPA, I am afraid that our program can only stop filming, how difficult it is for the president to win this opportunity for us!"
This is what makes Park Ji-yeon the most angry, they can only be regarded as newcomers now, what newcomers need, is the appearance rate, it is an opportunity, and it is not easy to win a group variety show, but because the Korean team was eliminated in advance, of course, their show will end.
Digan smiled when he heard this, "If it's because of this, can I help?" ”、
When Park Ji-yeon heard this, she suddenly had an idea and said, "OPPA!" Otherwise, I'll discuss with PD if we can follow up and shoot Belgium next!? ”
Follow-up shooting!?
Digan refused directly without even thinking about it, what kind of virtue Koreans are, he knows it clearly, when the Beijing Olympics happened, they sneaked into the rehearsal site of the opening ceremony, and as a result, everything was exposed.
If they were accompanied by a group of South Korean spies, what secrets would the Belgian team have.
"Ji-yeon! This is not good, you know, the team's preparation and training are all secrets, and if it is leaked, the loss will be huge! ”
After Park Ji-yeon finished speaking, she knew that she was a little whimsical, even if she could convince the PD of the show, the Belgian national team would never agree.
Seeing that Park Ji-yeon didn't speak, Di Gan continued: "So be it! As I said before, I will be responsible for all your expenses in South Africa, and if you are reluctant to let your sisters stay, it will be considered a travel break! ”
Degan's proposal made Park Ji-yeon also very excited, since their debut, they have had an endless itinerary every day, and they haven't had a good rest for a long time.
But can the brokerage company agree?
“OPPA! Wait a minute, I'll call the president of the company and ask! ”
I thought that the possibility of success was very slim, but after making a phone call, the company's president, Kim Kwang-so, agreed to a happy one.
Kim Kwang-so wishes that Park Ji-yeon could mix with Di Gan every day, this will increase T-ara's popularity immeasurably, what businessmen value, of course, is profit, since this is done, the benefits are greatly beneficial, and Kim Kwang-so has no reason not to agree.
After getting Park Ji-yeon's affirmative reply, Digan also made an appointment with Park Ji-yeon, and after the program team retreated, he arranged for them to live in a new hotel, which was the base camp of the Belgian wife group.
After hanging up the phone, Digan packed up his equipment and prepared to leave, defeating South Korea and letting Belgium qualify ahead of schedule, and there was only so much comfort he could give Park Ji-yeon.
Park Ji-yeon, on the other hand, told her members about Degan's decision, and what they got was naturally cheering, time to rest, and being able to play in South Africa for more than ten days, and the most important thing was that someone paid for it, which was simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, if they didn't agree, it would definitely be a brain water.
"Soyan Oni! When we have the chance, we will also treat Digan's son-in-law to a meal! I have to express my gratitude anyway! Captain Han Enjing proposed.
Other members also responded, but it is obviously not realistic to treat guests in South Africa, there are better restaurants here, and the consumption level is not affordable for them, and this hospitality plan can only be implemented after the World Cup is over and Digan returns to South Korea with them.
