Chapter 67: The King
The game was over, and Spain, which was supposed to appear in the Shijie Cup in Germany, was finally blocked from the Shijie Cup because of the small variable of Digan.
When the final whistle sounded, Deegan instantly woke up from his excited state, stood unsteadily, sat on the ground, and just felt a burst of numbness in his left leg just now, and at this moment bursts of sharp pain came, making him frown.
"How does it feel?"
The old captain Gul came over and tried to pick up Degan, but Deegan refused.
Seeing this, Gul immediately became nervous: "Is there something wrong with your leg?" ”
Deegan nodded and said, "It's okay! It shouldn't be very serious! ”
After Digan finished speaking, he tried to move and stood up, although it was still very painful, but he could still hold on: "Let's go!" I don't want to celebrate victory on enemy turf! ”
The game was over, and Digan didn't have to show off anything in front of the Spaniards, and in his opinion, it was just an ordinary game, no big deal.
The winners cheer, the losers are frustrated, and football matches are just that.
Raul is comforting his teammates, he is not too young, this may be his Zuihou chance, this opportunity is missed, and he does not know if he will be able to appear on the international stage.
Digan doesn't hate Raul, although he doesn't appreciate it much, when he plays, he has to do everything to win, and when the game is over, at least Raul's personality is really attractive, no wonder he has so many fans, and when he leaves the Bernabeu in the future, it even caused a commotion among the fans.
Gul helped Deegan off the field, and as soon as he walked to the sidelines, he saw Raul coming over, his wet jersey had been taken off, and he was holding it in his hand.
"It was a great game!" Raul walked up to Deegan with a smile on his face, disappointed, but still trying to maintain his demeanor.
Deegan nodded and said, "It's really exciting!" ”
With helplessness and exhaustion in his eyes, Raul handed the jersey to Degan, looked inquiring, and did not speak.
Deegan took off his jersey and handed it over.
Raul took Degan's jersey, put it on his shoulder, and said, "Good luck next year's Shijie Cup~~~~~~~ good luck to you!" ”
Deegan nodded: "I hope there will be a chance to fight next time." ”
Degan said that he was leaving, but the sharp pain in his leg made his body shake and almost fall, Raul saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Degan, and glanced at Degan's leg: "I think I should say sorry for Albelda!" ”
Deegan smiled and said, "If it were me, I would have done that in that case, so there's no need to say sorry." ”
Raul stopped talking and walked off the field with Deegan in his arms, a scene faithfully captured by a sideline camera and then one of the best photos of the year, but that's another story.
In the Belgian dressing room, Degan sat on the sidelines, being examined by the team doctor, while his teammates were jumping and cheering and celebrating, and the victory away from home to a strong Spain game was not a big deal in itself, but it was a huge help in boosting everyone's self-confidence.
Antienes walked in at this time, went directly to Degan's side, and frowned, "How's the situation?" ”
The team doctor shook his head and said, "It seems to have hurt the bone, I said, Rod shouldn't insist on it on the field, what is the specific situation now, I can't be sure until I go to the hospital for examination!" ”
Antienes said, "Will it take a long break?" Next year's shijie cup! ”
The team doctor said: "Don't worry! Although I did get injured, it shouldn't affect next year's Shijie Cup! ”
Antienes heard this, this is a little relieved, although Digan has only played four games for the Belgian national team, but now he has deservedly become the core player of the team, with Digan's Belgian team, it is enough to make any opponent frightened, if there is no Digan, he really doesn't know what to do.
Patting Degan on the shoulder, Antienes exclaimed, "Lads! Good news for everyone, our esteemed King Bixia is coming to visit you in the locker room! ”
Everyone in the locker room was stunned, and then there was a burst of cheers, and excitement was written on everyone's faces.
King!?
Degan didn't think so!
It's just an old man!
Although this kind of excitement is not experienced by Degan, it is not difficult to understand, although it is no longer the era of the supremacy of monarchy, but in a monarchical country like Belgium, the king is a symbol of a country, and it is highly respected and loved by the people, and it is an honor in itself to be received by the king.
Degan did not respect Albert II, but was very interested in this old man, although he was not a three-eight person, but in his previous life, like ordinary people, he liked to pay attention to the private lives of those celebrities.
Especially such a strange king as Albert II.
In his previous life, Albert II sat well on the throne of the king, and suddenly in 2013, it was announced that he would abdicate on the occasion of Belgium's National Day, and Crown Prince Philippe would inherit the throne.
The reason why Albert II announced his abdication was widely believed to be due to the scandal of his extramarital affair, which was taken to court by the artist who claimed to be his illegitimate daughter. There was media speculation that this may have led to the king's abdication, which he claimed was due to health reasons.
Albert II said that after two decades in power, it was time to hand over the torch to the next generation. Albert II ascended the throne on August 9, 1993, becoming the sixth king of Belgium since independence in 1830, and the oldest and first king in Belgian history to voluntarily abdicate.
Delphine, who claimed to be the illegitimate daughter of King Albert II of Belgium. Bor demanded that Albert II and his children appear in court and undergo DNA tests to confirm their royal ancestry. This royal scandal has become an open secret in Belgium, but the Belgian royal family has never admitted it. According to Belgian legal experts, as long as Albert II remained on the throne, Bor's request was likely to be denied, because under Belgian law, the king was immune from legal prosecution that interfered with his royal duties.
After the abdication, it was publicly stated that 92 per year. The salary of 30,000 euros is "simply not enough", and the government is asked to "raise salaries".
In fact, a former king's request was not excessive, but the Belgian government explicitly rejected Albert II's request without adding a penny.
Under Belgian law, the king is entitled to a tax-free salary of 11.5 million euros per year. After the retirement of Albert II, who had been on the throne for 20 years, his salary fell to 92. 30,000 euros, plus taxes, and a net worth of about 700,000 euros after tax, is only 6% of what it was in power. The so-called "from luxury to frugality".
Albert II was forgiven for lamenting that "this money is not enough to live". But the Belgian government was stunned and did not give face at all, and said when paying salaries to the royal family: "The government will not make any changes to the salaries of the royal family." The government will not make any changes on this important issue, either directly or indirectly. ”
After the request was refused, Albert II also tried to find a way to increase his income indirectly. One option would be for the Belgian government to pay for the expenses of his official residence and to provide fuel for his private yacht. Such a request caused outrage, and the Belgian government flatly refused.
A Belgian parliamentarian said the old king's demands were shocking, people were struggling with the economic downturn, and he came from the richest family in the country, and he asked people to pay the extra bill.
Previously, the Belgian royal family had been exempt from tax. However, since 2013, the Belgian government has implemented reforms that cut allowances for members of the royal family. The most important requirement was that, in addition to the reigning king, members of the royal family were subject to taxes just like the common people.
This reform in Belgium is not unrelated to a series of royal scandals.
First of all, Albert II's youngest son was exposed by the media to go to Angola to invest in renewable energy without the approval of the government department, which made the Belgian government very dissatisfied at that time.
In addition, the donation of the inheritance of the former Belgian queen Fabiola also made the people extremely disgusted. Fabiola has announced that she will give her full estate to the foundation she founded after her death. However, instead of buying it, people accused her of using the state's money to avoid the high inheritance tax. Fabiola explained that the donated inheritance was personal savings, and that the royal allowance was nothing more than the payment of the salaries of the assistants and the renovation of the palace. Unexpectedly, it provoked an even greater wave of criticism, with many MPs and the public strongly demanding that the royal allowance be reduced or even abolished.
Such an interesting king, even if Deegan was a person who didn't care about politics in his previous life, he couldn't help but pay special attention to it.
Soon Albert II, accompanied by foreign officers, appeared in the dressing room, like a general reviewing the guard of honor, and shook hands with each member of the team until he stood in front of Digan.
Degan tried to stand up, but his legs did not allow him, so he sat on a stool and stretched out his hand to Albert II.
Let the king stand and sit himself!
The coaches and players in the locker room, as well as those who work for the royal family, were stunned, but Degan didn't think there was anything wrong, he was an injured man, and the king in front of him was just a dry old man who couldn't control his zipper, and was stingy and greedy for money!
Albert II was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, shook hands with Degan, and patted him on the shoulder: "Your performance today is very good, so that the whole country shares the glory!" ”
Deegan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, King Bixia!" ”
Albert II then gave an intermittent speech: "Lads! I'm so proud of you, really! It is very important that you showed the courage and the sense of honour of the Belgians on the field, you won today, a perfect victory, and I hope that when you go to Germany next year, we will be able to celebrate together! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked away with his head held high, and Degan looked at it and thought: What is this old girl doing here? Is it just to say a few words of, there is no truth at all, even if you send a medal, it is haode!
But looking at the expressions of his teammates, they were as excited as if they had seen the red sun on Jinshan, and they almost cried bitterly.
"Rod! You are so bold that you don't even stand up when you see King Bixia! Simmons, who was beside Degan, said a word, his face was still red with excitement, looking at his appearance, it was estimated that he would be reluctant to wash his hands for a month.
"I'm injured, weishenme has to stand up, although he is a king, to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person!"
Simmons looked at Deegan with a shocked expression, and shook his head helplessly: "You are really a freak, that is King Bixia!" I was so nervous that I almost couldn't breathe, but you said he was an ordinary person! King! O King! Do you understand, if you put it in the Middle Ages, your rude behavior just now should be sent to the water prison! ”
Deganha smiled and said, "Then should I ask for forgiveness with sincere fear now!" Come on! I don't have that mind! ”
Antienes sent the king back, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "You all heard the words of King Bixia just now, the whole country, including the noble royal family, has deep hopes for us, we have no reason to disappoint them, getting the ticket to the Shijie Cup is just a beginning, and then we will strive for greater honor in the Shijie Cup, so that the whole Belgium will be proud of us!" ”
The players immediately cheered, Degan watched, still couldn't understand, fortunately it was just an old king, if God came to the locker room to meet these people, it is estimated that someone will be directly excited at this time.
Degan doesn't care about what a king is or not about a king now, he only cares about his legs, and after a few more moves just now, it still hurts, maybe it's really a bone problem.
Gul saw Degan's concern and said, "Rod! Rest assured! There will be such a day as a professional footballer, it shouldn't be very serious, maybe you will get better soon! ”
Digan stretched out his hand and pressed the injured area, which was already swollen after a while: "I hope it's like what you said!" ”
That night, the Belgian team rushed back to Brussels by plane, and the other teammates went to enjoy a bigger celebratory banquet, while Digan, accompanied by the team doctor, went directly to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane.
