Chapter 1 The Red Devils of Europe
In today's world football, everyone knows that the domineering nickname of "European Red Devils" belongs to the Belgian national team. More than 100 years ago, in 1906, Belgium defeated the Netherlands 3-2, and a journalist named Pierre was the first to use the term "TheRedDevils" to describe the Belgian national team, which was dressed in red and had a fierce style.
Of course, there are also sources who claim that the European Red Devils are called Pele, and that was in a friendly match in 1963, when Belgium defeated Brazil, the world champion with Pele, 5-1.
After the game, Pele said helplessly: "This game is simply demon-possessed!" ”
The nickname of the Belgian team "Red Devils" spread.
Of course, Deegan prefers to use the first statement, who doesn't know that Bailey has a world-famous crow's mouth, and the nickname he "given" is really not an auspicious thing, and it is not good when the Red Devils will turn into soft-footed shrimp.
The Belgian national team was at its peak in the 80s, when the Belgian team finished runners-up at Euro 1980 and finished fourth at the 1986 World Cup.
In the 1980 European Championship, Belgium shocked the world, they were in a group with Italy, England and Spain, and they unexpectedly defeated Spain, drew with England and Italy, but unfortunately lost to the former West Germany 1:2 in the final, and the runner-up of the 1980 European Championship also announced the rise of the golden generation of Belgian football.
In the 1982 World Cup, at the 95,000-seat Camp Nou, the Belgian national team defeated Maradona's Argentina 1-0 in its first game, and the European Golden Boot winner Van den Berg scored the killer goal, and Belgium qualified first in the group.
In the 1986 World Cup, Belgium eliminated the former Soviet Union and Spain all the way to the semi-finals, but unfortunately met Maradona's Argentina in the semi-finals.
Two goals from the king of the ball kept Belgium out of the final. In the battle for third and fourth place, Belgium lost 2:4 to France, and in that World Cup, Belgium's 20-year-old attacker Shifo was remembered by fans and won the best rookie award.
In the 1990 World Cup, Belgian technical football set off a storm in the Apennines, when the Belgian team had many talented players such as Shifo, Wilmots, and Celemans, and these names were very popular in the storm set off by Belgium.
However, after reaching the top, Belgian football gradually went to a low point due to the lack of successors, and after the final glory of the 2002 World Cup, Belgium did not even reach the finals of Euro 2004.
However, all this was completely changed after the addition of Degan, in the 2006 World Cup, Deegan led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, in the precarious situation of qualifying, the Jedi counterattacked, and finally beat the Spanish team, broke into the World Cup, and all the way through, reached the final, but unfortunately because of injury, in the final, Deegan could only leave the field, and Belgian football could only be relegated to the runner-up, but this has created the best results of Belgian football on the World Cup stage.
In the 2008 European Cup, Belgium defeated Portugal in the last game of Tianwang Mountain, and entered the finals, this time Degan led a complete youth army, three games in the group stage, in the case of Digan's inability to play, Belgium won two and lost one, and finally qualified as the group leader.
In the knockout round, Belgium defeated Germany and Turkey, and finally entered the final, and in a big battle with Spain, Belgium conceded a goal first, and was sent off, the Jedi counterattacked, and finally won the cup.
It can be said that the glorious history of Belgian football has been reopened with the arrival of Digan, and now this red storm that vows to sweep the world football has blown on the Olympic field.
In the Beijing Olympics, in the previous life, Degan also cheered for his motherland to successfully host this largest sports event, but he did not expect that he would have the opportunity to participate in it in this life.
Football is the first event of the Olympic Games, Belgium will face the gold medal favorite Brazil before the game, but this Brazil is not Brazil, the Brazilian team is invincible on the stage of the World Cup and the Copa America, but in the Olympic Games, they have never reached the top.
The biggest star of the Brazilian Olympic team is Ronaldinho, who has just decided to move to AC Milan, and the match was seen as a duel between Digan and Ronaldinho.
But the process of the game was a big surprise, whether it was Digan, who had just won the European Championship, or Ronaldinho, the former world footballer, they were completely out of shape.
As the captain, Ronaldinho was replaced by the head coach of the Brazilian Olympic team Dunga in the 63rd minute of the second half.
People can see that just after the fierce competition of the European Cup, Degan's physical condition has not been adjusted to the best condition at all, he is also a person, not a god, continuous fighting, so that he is very tired physically and mentally.
However, Belgium scored a goal near the end of the game through Mirallas and were lucky to win over the strongest opponents in the group, Brazil.
After overcoming the difficulties of Brazil, it can be said that Belgium has already appeared in the group ahead of schedule, and the next two opponents, whether it is the host China or the fish belly of Oceania, New Zealand, are obviously not enough to pose a threat to Belgium.
In the second group stage, Belgium faced the Chinese team with the advantage of home field, and in this game, Deegan finally recovered his form and made a big show on the field.
Just five minutes into the game, Degan dribbled the ball from midfield, drove straight in, singled out the goalkeeper, scored the goal, and scored for Belgium.
In the first game, the Chinese team, which only drew with New Zealand, wanted to appear in the group, and the only chance was to win against Belgium, otherwise they would face Brazil in the last game, which also needed a win to appear, and their chances were really slim.
But Belgium proved to be more difficult to deal with than Brazil, and although the Chinese Olympic team players used lethal tactics on the pitch, they still couldn't stop Belgium from advancing.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, it was Degan again, who received the ball outside the penalty area and avoided Zheng. After a ferocious tackle, he shot from a distance and then went to the next city.
Even the commentators of CCTV couldn't help but sigh: "Compared with Belgian football, Chinese football is too far behind, whether it is physical fitness, or technical and tactical level, it is not a grade at all!" ”
Digan is destined to break out today, although he doesn't want to see Chinese football so embarrassed, but if he is not angry, who can blame him, it is better to tear off all the fig leaf of Chinese football, so that the hidden ugliness will shine in front of the world.
In the 32nd minute, Belgium scored again, this time it was Degan who scored, and his free kick directly broke through the goal of the Chinese team and completed the hat trick of the half.
Just when the exciting and fierce game was dizzying, suddenly a deafening neat "Xie. Second. Dragon class! The sound of the waves, one after another, echoed over the field.
Degan's teammates were celebrating a goal, and suddenly they heard such a voice, somewhat incomprehensible, what does this mean!? Have Chinese fans defected?
Digan smiled bitterly, of course he understood, this can be understood as a kind of venting for the masses, and of course it is also a way for the masses of people to entertain themselves.
Because, in the Chinese language, there are not many slogans that can be collectively chanted by thousands of people to express joy and celebration, and "Niu X" and "Silly X" always seem to be a little crazy and angry in it, lacking the spirit of entertainment and euphoria.
For a while, the literati and laymen really didn't seem to have any good words. Therefore, the true wisdom is among the people, and the vulgar is both elegant, and scholars and wise people, such as Master Yu Qiuyu and Mr. Yi Zhongtian, cannot think of one or two slogans that can really be popular, which can be collectively shouted by thousands of people, and can express the most real and simple enthusiasm and happiness that people are stimulated in sports competitions.
So, in order to keep the Olympic stadium clean and beautiful, tens of thousands of fans collectively chose to chant "out of class", instead of "Niu X" and "Silly X".
I have to say that the consciousness of the people is really high, such a shout, everyone is happy, the stadium is lively, the atmosphere is booming, at the same time, there are no dirty words, this is really the most artistic and creative performance of the audience since the start of the Olympic Games.
Therefore, China really has some first-class fans, look at how civilized everyone is, and the next time everyone is happy, you can also shout "class", for example, when Digan scored another goal.
Before the end of the first half, Digan instigated an attack on the left side, and the players of the Chinese team were not in time.
Now, the fans in the stands shouted even more happily.
In his previous life, Degan once saw on the Internet, a widely circulated and hugely cold joke, saying that when Argentina played Brazil in the semifinals, the Chinese fans in the audience chanted "Xie Yalong is out of class", which was huge and spectacular.
After the game, when a reporter interviewed Messi, he learned Chinese well after coming to China, and asked him to try to say "come on Argentina", but Messi smiled coy and said softly "Xie Yalong is out of class".
This joke once again proves that the resentment of Chinese fans against the national football team has reached the extreme, and some people say that it was the first person to shout "Xie Yalong is out of class" and really taught Messi to say such a Chinese sentence.
After several twists and turns, the reporter finally found the first man who shouted "Xie Yalong is out of class" behind the goal during the South American double-hero battle, and people called him "Batty", because he liked the Argentine team very much and preferred Batistuta.
The reporter asked him why he remembered that when Argentina played against Brazil, he shouted "Xie Yalong is out of class", and he seemed very excited: "At that time, I watched the decisive battle between the two South American heroes, and I felt very enjoyable. ”
So, under the excitement, "Xie Yalong got out of class" blurted out, this shout does not matter, immediately aroused the deep sympathy of the surrounding fans, everyone shouted together, a pass ten, ten to a hundred, the entire work of tens of thousands of people with waves and voices to declare the love of football and dissatisfaction with the national football team, the field is Argentina vs. Brazil high-level showdown, off the field is the self-carnival of tens of thousands of fans, the national football team has completely reduced to "is anything, but not football" entertainment situation.
Of course, Messi said that the authenticity of "Xie Yalong's dismissal" is impossible to verify, but the high voice of the workers' stadium at that time caused some foreign fans to shout wildly, although they didn't know why, but it was also a fact, in the words of "Barty" himself, he had never seen such a big scene of class in the workers' stadium, and this time it was enjoyable.
The classic slogan that was supposed to appear in the semi-finals is now unveiled in advance, and I really don't know how Xie someone, who is sitting in the VIP seat, will feel about it.
Since Xie came to power, he has been engaged in the east and west, the south and the north, and completely tossed the last trace of vitality of Chinese football that was already rotten to the bones, and the damage he brought to the hearts of Chinese fans, as well as the devastating blow to Chinese football, and the monstrous crimes committed against Chinese football have become a fact.
Xie Yalong doesn't understand football at all, at most he is an amateur fart, he himself said that it was not his original intention to be in charge of Chinese football, it was decided by the organization, and he was a layman.
Xie Yalong left the public with the image of a "poor ghost" and a "good old man", but then again, who doesn't know what's going on with that little in Chinese football.
Since you don't understand it at all, or don't want to touch this hot potato at all, why don't you take the initiative to resign when you can't do it soon after taking office?
Do you still value football?
Don't be embarrassed, it's just that you want to get something you want from this once-chaotic industry that has passed the peak of "World Cup qualification".
It was originally wrong for a layman to guide an insider, but Xie Yalong, a layman, still prefers to be an insider, and the worst thing to be tossed by this fart is the Chinese women's football team, from Pei Encai took over the women's football team in 2005, to the old coach Shang Ruihua of the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese women's football team has changed six coaches in three years.
The sonorous rose, which once stood alone in Asia and was world-class, can no longer be called first-class in Asia under the operation of Xie Yalong's frequent change of coach.
No matter whether the Swede Domanski or the Frenchman Elisabeth is invited, they will not be able to bring the Chinese women's football team back to the world-class level.
Look at the current Chinese women's football team, which has been embarrassed to the point that it can't beat Japan in the Asian Cup and can't qualify for the World Cup, who is to blame?
In addition to Xie Yalong, who Qianfu refers to, who else can fans find to theorize. The original harmonious and thriving Chinese women's football career was messed up by his handful of mandarin duck scores, and the record was a mess, so that the only team in Chinese football that was famous in the world withdrew from the world's top teams in such an embarrassment.
The women's football team was tossed without the style of the past, the domestic club, Mr. Xie also refused to let go, Wuhan Optics Valley in the first half of the 2005 season seven consecutive wins of the proud record, officially because of the second half of the season Pei Encai Pei was inexplicably transferred to coach the women's football team, Wuhan team in the absence of a leader, the state declined, the record is not good.
Even so, thanks to the excellent performance in the first half, the Wuhan team won the best league in history and the championship of the Chinese Super Cup.
In 08, the Wuhan team withdrew from the Chinese Super League, China's highest two-level league has no Hubei team for the first time, and there is no event in the historic Xinhua Road Stadium, Xie Yalong has made great contributions!
Of course, these may be small sections, but the most unrelieved one for Chinese fans is that he completely collapsed the Chinese men's football team.
The practice of the national football team to impact the World Cup is "one group does not qualify, and the next one must be very close to qualifying", after the embarrassing seven-goal victory at the end of 04 and could not enter the top 10 matches, Chinese football under Xie Yalong could not qualify for the group after four consecutive years.
Yan Shiduo gambled on the World Cup, and he would have taken a league, but Master Xie was good, betting on the Olympics, not to mention the league and the World Cup, if the Olympics were not the host, the Chinese Olympic Games would not be seen on the main competition.
There is also in terms of management, the senior management of the Football Association at that time should not be in charge, what should not be managed is to hold on and not let go, Du Yi is a famous coach who has proven himself in the world arena, but the senior management is unwilling to delegate power, forcibly interfere in the affairs of the team, so that the results of more than two years of hard work of others are in vain, but for the nepotism of the national football coach Zhu Guanghu, during the Asian Cup in 07, some players who are not up to the national team standards are reused as the main force, but the senior management of the Football Association ignores and resigns itself to it, which is thought-provoking.
In the past, when the national team was defeated, people would unanimously target the scapegoat on the field or the substitute coach off the field, and never point the finger at the head of the Football Association.
What about Xie Yalong's tenure?
Almost as many people pointed out, scolding Xie Yalong has become a culture and a habit, as long as the national team is even a little unsatisfactory, the fans immediately scold Xie Yalong.
The eyes of the masses are bright, and everyone knows who is to blame for the disgusting appearance of the men's football team. "Your men's soccer team" "Your whole family men's soccer team!" This is the most popular and disgusting swear word in China at the moment.
At the same time as the collapse of the Chinese men's football team, Xie Yalong also brought down the league that is the foundation of Chinese football, although the replacement of the old A by the Chinese Super League is a bit of a change of soup without changing the medicine, but Xie Yalong before entering the Football Association The Chinese Super League played quite lively after all, the bosses are willing to invest, and the fans are willing to attend.
After Xie Yalong joined the Football Association, there were waves of withdrawal turmoil, and the leagues that were dismantled because of the Olympics and the World Cup were sometimes canceled and relegated, and sometimes there was no news for half a year.
Back then, Yan Shiduo gambled on the World Cup and sacrificed the league, but when they finished the World Cup, people wouldn't say anything?
Xie Yalong informed the sacrifice league to gamble, what did he win?
I'm afraid that except for the small pants on my body, I lost nothing, right?
In the past, Beijing Gongti, Chengdu Provincial Sports, Wuhan Xinhua Road, and Qingdao Yizhong were all gold medal ball markets, but now?
Even if the team's season ticket drops to 200 yuan a year, few people are willing to buy it, and even if the stranded ticket in the hands of scalpers is reduced to five yuan a piece, no one buys tickets to enter before the start.
Whether it is a spoof or not, even Messi, who does not speak Chinese, can barely shout a Chinese "Xie Yalong out of class", and people still think that it is the best cheering words shouted by Chinese fans for their beloved players and beloved teams. But I didn't want to, Messi was also spoofed by Xie Yalong.
The women's football team did not perform well, and Xie Yalong reprimanded and trained a "forked psoas muscle", which is a new term, and the exploration of this muscle is also a major topic in human medicine.
The name "Xie Yalong" is associated with Chinese football, which has seriously affected the image of Chinese football in the minds of foreign friends and the majority of Chinese fans and non-fans, and it is even no exaggeration to say that "Xie Yalong has seriously tarnished Chinese football".
After scoring his fifth goal of the game in the second half, Digan stood in the penalty area of the Chinese team, pointed to the VIP seat where Xie Yalong was sitting, and suddenly shouted "Xie Yalong is out of class".
The voice was so loud that the whole stadium was quiet for three seconds, and then there were bursts of cheers, and the camera lens was also aimed at Lord Xie for the first time, only to see that the pig's waist face had been twisted and was about to wring out bitter water.
After shouting, Degan took the initiative to ask to get off the field, Desatt did not refuse, anyway, they were already five goals ahead, and it was not interesting to continue to play this game, it was better to save his strength and let Degan rest more.
5:0 also became the final result of the game, perhaps to thank Digan for his righteous words, Tan Kick and Zheng Heijiao did not hit the Belgian players ruthlessly, and Polyños avoided the fate of being kicked.
After the game, when Digan was interviewed by Chinese reporters on the sidelines, he was asked about the scene on the field just now, and Digan pretended to be stupid and said: "Isn't that what Belgium means?" ”
Subsequently, Mr. Xie also generously forgave Degan's "ignorance", and also said that Deegan was his favorite player, and after Deegan learned about it, he couldn't eat a disgusting dinner.
Two consecutive wins, Belgium has appeared in advance, the third game of the group stage against the penniless New Zealand, Belgium all substitutes, and finally with Mirallas's second goal in this Olympic Games, and Fellaini's goal, Belgium defeated Oceania 2-0 and advanced to the knockout round with a complete victory.
In the quarter-finals, Belgium faced Cameroon, an African cheetah, but without Samuel Eto'o, Cameroon was clearly not the opponent of the European Red Devils led by Degan.
2:0!
Digan scored twice, this Olympics has scored seven goals, crazy state, super skills, has made Digan the most popular athlete in the Olympic Games, plus the media dug out that Digan donated 10 million euros to the earthquake-stricken area, and also called on Belgian players, Fiorentina teammates to donate to the disaster area, but also in China a burst of Digan fever.
In the semi-finals, Belgium will face another team from Africa, Nigeria, who won the gold medal in the final at Atlanta 1996.
In their original history, they also successfully reached the final and finally met Argentina, but this time, facing Belgium, who are in full swing and in good form, the African Eagles' Olympic gold medal dream was shattered.
Digan scored two goals with an overhead kick in both halves and also set up Dembele to score twice to beat the opponent 4-0 and advance to the final.
After the game, the Nigerian coach said: "It's horrible, standing with Degan, my players are simply children, Belgium is completely dominant in this game, but my team is not completely without opportunities, the only thing we lack is one less Deegan on the field, and this defect has become the fundamental factor that kills us!" ”
In the other semi-final at the same time, Argentina defeated Brazil 2:1 with Messi's pass and shot and reached the final.
The Olympic gold medal will also be born after the fierce duel between Deegan and Messi, two of the most famous young players in world football today.
Prior to this, in a bronze medal match, Brazil defeated Nigeria 2:0 with Ronaldinho's excellent performance and won a bronze medal, which was also the biggest comfort to Ronaldinho.
Because of Degan's relationship, countless Chinese fans have said that they will cheer for Belgium in the final, anyway, the jerseys of Belgium and the Chinese team are red, and it is not a problem to cheer for which team.
"I know a lot of people are comparing me and Messi now, but I want to say that this comparison is unfair to me and Messi, we are two players with completely different characteristics, of course I want to win the gold medal, but I know Messi must be more hungry!"
The Belgian team is actively preparing for the game, and the Olympics have come to an end, but the day before the start of the Olympic men's football final, a news that has nothing to do with football broke out.
This incident was also dubbed the "enemy wife" in the future, and for a while Deegan was once again pushed to the forefront, his girlfriend was pried by the enemy on the court, and people wanted to know what Degan's reaction would be.
