Chapter 160: Boiling Belgium
Perhaps because the celebration was so crazy, the Belgians did not take a connecting flight back home that night, but no one had come back to blame them, and for the winners, all actions were forgivable.
The next day, when the whole Belgian team woke up with a hangover, they were still excited to see the gold medal placed at the bedside, which is a symbol of the highest honor in world football.
"Rod! Are we really world champions? Fellaini rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in a daze, "Yesterday's celebration, this kid drank the most, and he was noisy and had to jump off. Clothing. The dance was enjoyed by everyone, and was finally suppressed by Kompany's fist.
Degan was also looking at the gold medal at the moment, and when he heard Fellaini ask, he smiled: "Of course, we are the champions of the World Cup!" β
Fellaini seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed: "That's good! That's it! β
As he spoke, he pressed the gold medal tightly to his chest, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.
The two were silent for a while, and Fellaini suddenly said: "Rod! Thank you! β
Deegan was stunned: "Why do you want to say thank you to me!?" β
Fellaini smiled: "Of course I have to thank you, without you, I am afraid we would never have had a chance to lift the Hercules Cup in our lives, Rod!" You brought us everything! β
Fellaini didn't say Belgium, he was of Morgoco descent, and like Digan, they were all mercenary groups, and to be honest, they didn't have much sense of belonging to Belgium.
"Hey! Get up! There was a sudden knock on the door, and Kompany's voice came from outside, "It's time for us to go home, go home!" We're going to Belgium to celebrate the championship! β
Degan's head was already groggy because of a hangover, but now he was quarreled with by Kompany, and he had a headache: "Okay! Vincent! We got it, damn it! Why are you always so energetic, bastard! β
Fellaini had already struggled to get up and went into the bathroom to take a shower, and Degan took the opportunity to call Park Ji-yeon, and they did not leave, according to the plan, they will go to Belgium with Degan to celebrate the World Cup victory, and then go to South Korea with Degan.
After waiting for a while, Park Ji-yeon answered the phone: "OPPA!" β
Park Ji-yeon's voice was a little hoarse, no wonder, last night, she also drank a lot of alcohol, originally according to the domestic regulations in South Korea, minors are not allowed to drink, but who made her Digan's girlfriend, at such a festive moment yesterday, how could it be possible not to drink.
"Ji-yeon! Wake up your sisters, it's time for us to leave for Belgium! β
Park Ji-yeon answered, and then hung up the phone.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Belgian team and all the families of the soldiers gathered in the lobby of the hotel, and the Hercules Cup was solemnly placed in the alley by the officials of the Football Association, and several bodyguards were in charge of guarding it.
This thing has to be protected, although the Hercules Cup has no experience of theft, but the predecessor of the Hercules Cup, the Remet Gold Cup, has been tribulated several times, and finally disappeared, it is said that it was dissolved by someone and sold as gold.
If the Hercules Cup had suffered the same fate, the Belgians would have to cry to death.
Look at each other, whether it's the players, the coaches, or the family, they all look upset, and they drank too much last night.
After getting out of the car and going straight to the airport, boarding the special plane, returning home, Belgium was the last team to leave South Africa, and the Dutch team, who lost the championship, had already left last night.
"I think I'll miss being here!"
Antienes, who was sitting next to Degan, suddenly said that he would indeed miss this place, here, he got the most critical trophy in his coaching career, even if many people are sarcastic about him, it is completely through Degan's momentum that he got everything today, but as the coach who has won the European Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, and the World Cup treble, Antienes has also stepped into the ranks of well-known coaches.
Deegan smiled, "I think I'll miss this place too, how about it?" Do you have any plans for the future? β
Antienes smiled contentedly: "I discussed with FranΓ§ois, then we have to rest for a while, I have been really tired in the past few years, and I will talk about the future later, what about you?" Are you really going to leave Florence? β
Degan nodded: "I've already decided, since I don't need me there, I don't need to stay, but I haven't thought about where to go next, I think I'll go to Spain, but which team is not final!" β
Antienes smiled: "Spain is good! If I could, I would also like to coach in Spain, will we be partners or rivals? β
Deegan didn't answer, and fell asleep after a while, the energy he consumed in yesterday's game was too great.
When the plane slowly landed at the Brussels airport, Digan woke up faintly, looking out through the window, the whole airport was full of red sea, at least tens of thousands of people, waving the Belgian flag everywhere, Digan couldn't help but think, I don't know when, China can only have such a scene, probably only in a dream!
"Gone! Guys! Go out and enjoy the cheers you deserve as a hero! β
Degan was the first to stand up, at this time, the Belgian Football Association officials also handed over the Hercules Cup to Degan early, as the captain of the Belgian national team, Degan will hold the Hercules Cup in his hand, the first to go down, like the Belgian national to show this trophy.
Holding the Hercules Cup in his hand, Degan was still excited and couldn't help himself, muttering to himself: "But the weight of things is really not light!" β
The cabin door opened, and when Digan appeared in front of people with the Hercules Cup in his hand, the entire airport suddenly boiled, and countless Belgian fans cheered, shouted, and some people chanted Digan's name.
"Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! β
A huge portrait of Deegan with a photograph of Deegan was opened, after he scored a goal in the final against the Netherlands, with a line on it that reads "King of the World!" 28οΌ
Now it is estimated that no one will question the title of Degan's football king, although there is still a long way to go from Pele's three World Cup titles, but everyone knows that it is not out of reach.
28 represents the 28 goals scored by Deegan on the World Cup stage, a record that no one will be able to break even after a hundred years.
The coaches of the Belgian national team, the players and the staff of the Football Association, and their families walked down one by one, and every time they walked down, there would be a burst of cheers.
Park Ji-yeon and her members couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, as newcomers who had just debuted for a year, where had they ever seen such a big scene.
"When would it be nice if we could have a concert in front of so many people!"
"If one day there were any, I'd be going to die of nervousness!"
Park Ji-yeon didn't speak, just looked at Degan who was walking in the front, his eyes were full of pride, it was his boyfriend, his boyfriend became a national idol, a hero!
At this moment, every city in Belgium, every street, is full of parades celebrating the championship, since last night, it has never stopped, for the Belgians, the glory of the World Cup champions, is they can't even think of it, but look at the current European Cup, Intercontinental Cup, World Cup champions, they have become the French team, the second real Treble in Europe.
After getting off the plane, everyone immediately boarded the roof of the parade bus, which had been prepared for a long time, and they will start from the airport to celebrate.
Countless flowers and applause were given to the heroes in the hearts of the fans, and the whole of Belgium was boiling over the glory of the World Cup winners, and countless people flocked to the square in front of the Parliament building, which would be the destination of the parade.
On the stage that had been set up a long time ago, more than 100,000 fans had gathered from all over the country at this time, and they all wanted to see the style of the Hercules Cup.
The president of the Belgian Football Federation gave a speech thanking the national team for the honour they had achieved for Belgium in South Africa, followed by Antienes taking over the microphone as Belgium's meritorious coach.
Although Antienes is low-key, as a star coach, his popularity among Belgian fans is not low, and in the face of the cheering crowd, the outgoing Antienes can't help but choke up: "Thank you very much!" β
Just one sentence, Antienes's tears flowed: "From 2004, I took over the coaching whip of the Belgian national team, until now, six years have passed, I dare not say how many honors I have achieved, I can only say that I tried my best, thank you for your support, now I am leaving, not to be fired, not because of contradictions, but I really feel that I am no longer capable of leading the Belgian national team forward, Belgian football needs a new coach, so that it is the best for Belgian football, Thank you all for your support, I will always follow Belgian football wherever I am, because even if I am not the manager, I am a Belgian fan! β
After Antienes finished speaking, a burst of voices suddenly erupted in the crowd in the square.
"Coach! Don't leave! β
"Coach! Stay! β
But Antienes was determined, waved at the crowd, and walked back, and then stood up for Degan, who was silent at first, and then erupted in an earth-shattering shout.
"Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! Rod! β
Deegan laughed and said loudly, "What shall I say? All the celebrations, I seem to have forgotten about South Africa, all I can say is that I am very proud that we have completed a great journey, championships, glory and then this moment of enjoyment in South Africa. β
The crowd erupted in a shout!
Deegan continued: "But, but! Listen clearly, but, I want to say that this is not the end of this, Belgian football will not be satisfied with this, two years ago we celebrated the European Cup here, a year ago we celebrated the Intercontinental Cup here, now we are here to celebrate the World Cup title, four years of reincarnation, now Belgian football has just set sail, let out your enthusiasm, wait for the next reincarnation, let's continue! β
"Champion! Belgium! Champion! Belgium! β
"The championship will not end here, Belgian football will not be satisfied, no one can stop us from moving forward, now, hug the people around you, no matter what color they are, what race they are, Flemish people, Walloons or descendants of other races, when we come together, the whole world will be conquered by us!"
Since Degan came to Belgium, the racial contradictions that plagued the country seem to have been solved at once, because of football, everyone is united, as Deegan said, when they are united, no one in the world can defeat them.
After Digan finished speaking, he threw away the microphone and walked to the front of the Hercules Cup, and then used all his strength to hold it high, and all the players, coaches, officials of the Belgian Football Association, and family members gathered in front of him, cheering and celebrating with Degan, and the people in the audience were the same, cheers, shouts, applause, and could not stop for a moment.
Because of the Hercules Cup, because of the glory of the World Cup winners, the whole of Belgium is crazy, this is the charm of football.
At the end of the day's celebration, when Digan returned to the hotel, he was already exhausted, and at the moment there was only one Park Ji-yeon left by his side.
took Park Ji-yeon's hand and held her in her arms, and the two of them fell on the bed and lay quietly like this.
After a while, Park Ji-yeon said, "OPPA! Are we really going to South Korea next? β
Deegan laughed, "Unless, of course, you don't want me to meet your family!" β
Park Ji-yeon shook her head: "Of course not, I'm just ~~~~~~"
Park Ji-yeon didn't finish speaking, and Deegan knew what she was worried about, nothing more than Bosque's attitude.
"There's nothing to worry about, anyway, they only have Ricardo in their eyes all the time, and I don't need them to worry about my affairs!"
The relationship that had been eased became a little stiff again because of the appearance of Park Ji-yeon, and Digan couldn't tolerate Bosque, Simone's attitude towards Park Ji-yeon.
Of course, the real reason is that Bosque and Simone look down on Park Ji-yeon's skin color, which means that they look down on Chinese people with the same skin color, so Di Gan, who has the soul of a Chinese, is completely unforgivable.
"Don't worry about anything, tomorrow, tomorrow we will go to South Korea together!"
Park Ji-yeon didn't speak, just nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and fell into Digan's arms, enjoying the rare warmth.
