The night before the World Cup final in South Africa, after the last intra-squad meeting, all the players went back to their rooms to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's game.

Deegan originally thought that no matter what kind of big scene it was, he would be able to face it calmly, but when he was really lying on the field, he realized that no matter how strong he was, no matter how tough his nerves were, he was just an ordinary person in the final analysis.

He's going to be nervous, he's going to get flustered by a game!

Speaking of which, this is the second time he has faced the final of the World Cup, and he has played the same European Cup final before, at that time, he didn't know what nervousness was, and when his teammates couldn't sleep for the game, or nervous, or excited, he seemed very indifferent.

But this time, it's different!

Only after experiencing failure will people have a special desire for success!

Deegan is just an ordinary person!

At the club, Degan's achievements are absolutely brilliant, and throughout the history of world football, few people have been able to compete with him for the number of titles, and in terms of national team, Degan has also had a stellar resume.

Champion of the European Cup, winner of the Intercontinental Cup, but he only lacks a World Cup trophy.

There is only one step left before the king of the ball!

Although Deegan said that he didn't care, who wouldn't want his name to go down in history and become the talk of people after tea and dinner many years later, and become the idol of countless young players in the future.

Deegan can do it on the surface, but in fact, he is also a layman, a layman!

It was already late at night, and Digan, who couldn't fall asleep, sat up and walked to Fellaini's locker, rummaging through it, knowing that Fellaini was hiding what he needed so much right now.

Smoke!

Degan, who has never smoked before, suddenly wants to smoke very urgently!

Speaking of which, Degan's life is puritanical compared to most of his contemporaries, he doesn't like to drink, he doesn't like to eat hayce, he doesn't like those flesh and bones, he doesn't like to smoke, and his life is nothing but football, so much so that his teammates think he is a little abnormal.

But now Degan wants to smoke!

Degan had heard Fellaini and many others say that this stuff can relax people's spirits!

Finding the cigarette and lighter, Deegan pushed the door open and walked out to the end of the hallway, looking through the glass at the night in Johannesburg.

Johannesburg is a big city, but after all, it is located in Africa, even if it is developed, it is very limited, and it is already more than two o'clock in the night, although the neon is bright outside, but there are few people, and those few people are also fans of the Netherlands and Belgium waiting to enjoy tomorrow's game.

Deegan didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, but he still didn't calm down, and at this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Deegan didn't look back.

"Can't sleep?"

It was Antienes, and he couldn't sleep, and just now he heard the sound of people walking outside, so he got up, but he didn't expect to see it was Degan.

Deegan nodded: "I don't know what I am, originally I thought I would be very strong, but I didn't expect that I would also have a vulnerable side!" ”

Antienes smiled: "Rod! Anyone can have a vulnerable side, we're all ordinary people, huh! Give me a cigarette! ”

Deegan looked at Antienes: "I remember you didn't smoke!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over the cigarette case and lighter, Antienes took it, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a sharp puff, and then coughed violently: "I remember that you don't smoke either, but it seems that you are faster than I have to adapt, this thing, I still can't conquer!" ”

Antienes smiled and said something that didn't look for a margin: "Rod! How do you feel now? Excited? Nervous? ”

Digan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't tell, in short, it's very complicated, I just want to start tomorrow's game quickly, and then end it as soon as possible, right!" I agreed with my girlfriend that I was going to go to Korea with her! ”

Antienes smiled: "Which Korean little girl!?" She's really cute, Rod! Learn to cherish it! ”

Deegan knew that Antienes made him cherish not only Park Ji-yeon, but many other things: "I will cherish it, coach!" I missed a lot and this time I wanted to catch them all! ”

Antienes smiled, and after a few puffs, he seemed to have adapted to the taste of tobacco: "Rod! You can't be too greedy, don't force yourself too much, you are just one person, you can't conquer the whole world, sometimes, you have to learn to face the world with a calm mind! That's right! Remember? In addition to my job as a coach, I'm also a psychiatrist! ”

Digan smiled: "Of course, I was still thinking that if you leave the Belgian national team, maybe you will change your career to become a doctor, Marouan and Vincent are betting on this!" ”

Antienes was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "What are you betting on?" ”

Deegan shrugged: "I think you'll continue your current job!" ”

Antienes nodded: "I want to congratulate you, you won, yes, I will continue my current coaching job, but before continuing to work, I want to rest for a while, I am too tired, too tired, for six years, I am already tired, very tired!" ”

Degan wanted to persuade Antienes to stay, because he felt that in this world except for Prandelli, only Antienes knew him best, and was also the manager who could trust him 100% and support him, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, he didn't want to interfere with anyone's decision, everyone had their own choice.

"If possible, I'm looking forward to the day when we can continue to work together!"

Antienes nodded: "Of course, I'm also looking forward to it, Rod!" Do you know? The greatest achievement of my life is to recruit you for Belgium, thank you! Thank you very much! You have brought me the most brilliant achievement! ”

Deegan shook his head: "No! I said the same thing, the one who should say thank you is me, it is you who have made me join a great team! ”

Antienes waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, what do you think of tomorrow's game?" ”

When it comes to tomorrow's game, Degan's heart is a little messed up again: "I don't know, as soon as I lay down just now, I had some very bad pictures in front of me, it was all four years ago, we were ahead, then I got injured and went down, and then we lost the World Cup trophy, it's just terrible, coach!" I don't want to do it again, I really don't want to! It's enough to have that pain once! ”

Deegan felt distraught, and suddenly he thought of an article he saw in his previous life on the Internet Mountain about the 98 World Cup, why Ronaldo played abnormally.

Because of the nervousness!

If that's really the case, Deegan can understand now, a person, with all the burden on his shoulders, this kind of pressure is not something anyone can bear.

Originally, Deegan thought he could, but now he knew that he couldn't either!

Antienes patted Deegan on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, Rod! You've done a fantastic job and you're the greatest player in Belgian history, regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game. ”

The greatest player in Belgian history!?

That's not Degan's goal, he wants to be the greatest player in the history of world football, there is no one, unique, it may be a bit arrogant to think so, but Degan's heart is really very longing.

"Go back and rest! Tomorrow morning, I hope to continue to see that greatest captain! ”

Deegan nodded, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and walked back.

As soon as he entered the door, Degan heard Fellaini's voice: "Rod! Can't you sleep too? ”

Digan was stunned: "It turns out that you are not asleep either!" ”

Fellaini turned on the light: "I knew it when you went out just now, how do you feel now?" ”

Deegan lay on the bed: "Very bad! ”

Fellaini was not worried: "I bet the Dutch must be the same now, you think about it, after 32 years, when they enter the World Cup final again, they will be under more pressure than us, uncrowned kings, we are not qualified to wear such hats on our heads, but that's fine." ”

Digan really didn't expect Fellaini to say such a reasonable thing: "Listening to you say that, my heart is much calmer, okay!" Let's sleep! Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day, I don't want to fight in the rain anymore! ”

At the same time, in the same hotel, in the rooms of Park Ji-yeon, several girls have not yet slept, and they seem to be preparing something.

"Soyan Oni! Are you all set? Why don't you check it again? "Park Ji-yeon, the little sister, is commanding several sisters at the moment.

Park So-yeon, who has a baby face, yawned big: "Ah~~~~~~~~ Ji-yeon! It's almost, go to sleep! I can understand your feelings, but we can't be so tired that we fall asleep in the stands tomorrow! ”

Looking at the sleepy-eyed appearance of several sisters, Park Ji-yeon was in good spirits: "No! We must get everything ready today, and we will give OPPA the best support for the finals tomorrow! ”

The other girls glanced at each other, all of them had helplessness on their faces, they could all understand, don't look at Park Ji-yeon's current appearance, in fact, she is more nervous than anyone else.

At the same time, an envious thought welled up in my heart: Why would a world-class star fall in love with our Ji-yeon!?
