On the Belgian team's training ground, the atmosphere in the team at this moment has become very different from those days before, not only because of the group qualification, but more importantly, the return of Degan.

After the end of the three-game suspension, Degan can finally play for the Belgian team, teammates from the training, can feel that this time Degan is like a tiger out of the cage, three consecutive games can only be watched from the wall, Degan is already suffocating is about to explode.

"Fellaini! Can't run? Don't let me see you stop! Run! Run! ”

Fellaini's face was bitter, it had been more than half an hour since the beginning of the training, and Degan's mouth had not stopped, his eyes had been staring at him, as long as he slacked off a little, he would immediately be scolded loudly by Degan.

Fellaini is also a hot temper, it's not that he doesn't want to refute, but he doesn't dare at all, in the Belgian team, if Antienes is the king, then Degan is the emperor above the king.

In the Belgian team, Digan's words are orders, and no one can refute them, not even the veterans in the team.

"I think we should stop Rode, if that's the case, I can't guarantee that we will have enough players for tomorrow's game!" Assistant coach François looked worried.

Originally, today's plan was to prepare for recovery training, after all, the three group games have just ended, the players still need to rest, and their physical functions also need to be adjusted, but Degan has a different opinion, and in the end, Degan won, and the recovery training has become a group confrontation exercise.

"Don't worry, old man! Rod knew that guy was very shrewd. "Antienes is not worried at all, he trusts Degan 100 per cent.

François smiled helplessly and said, "Okay! Since you say so, what else do I have to say! ”

After speaking, François suddenly became preoccupied again, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Old friend, I remember that your contract with the Football Association only ends in the European Cup, haven't they discussed the renewal of the contract with you?" ”

Hearing François ask about this, the smile on Antienes' face disappeared, originally said that as long as the group qualified, he would get a contract extension, but until now there has been no action from the Belgian Football Association.

And there is also gossip that the Belgian Football Federation seems to be planning to hire a so-called famous coach to lead the Belgian team forward.

What can Antienes do about this: "Maybe the Football Association has something else to do!" ”

When François heard this, he was immediately upset and said angrily: "Don't think about it, those bastard bureaucrats, they don't understand football at all!" ”

Antienes smiled bitterly: "Old man! If you do leave the Belgian national team, where are you going? ”

François said: "What else can I think, of course, to continue to follow you, if we can go further in the European Championship, are we afraid that we will not be able to find a job?" ”

Antienes couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, he has been working with François for so many years, he has become accustomed to having such an assistant by his side, friend: "Actually, François, with your ability and qualifications, you can actually coach a team alone!" ”

François rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to face those bureaucrats at the press conference, so I'd better be more relaxed with you, old friend, don't you want to leave me and find someone else to be your assistant!?" ”

François's resentful eyes made Antienes laugh and cry: "Of course not, but if you change teams, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet such a good player as Rode!" ”

Unbeknownst to Dugan on the training ground, there were two men on the sidelines who were worried about their future, and all he was thinking about was how to take out the German tanks that stood in his way.

After the morning training, as soon as he walked out of the training ground and was about to return to the hotel with the whole team, he was surrounded by reporters, and after the suspension ended, he was once again Belgium's brightest star player.

The focus of the reporters' inquiries was, of course, Belgium's preparations and their next opponent, Germany.

'The atmosphere in the squad is very good at the moment, after a tough group stage, now that we're in the knockout rounds, we have a new challenge ahead and I want to thank my team-mates because of their great performances that gave me the opportunity to play at the Euros.

After the end of the group stage, Belgium's final ranking in the group is indeed a big surprise, Belgium lost to Turkey 1:2 in the first game, defeated the Czech Republic 2:1 in the second game, and defeated the host Switzerland 3:0 in the last game, with two wins and one loss in three games, six points, three goal difference, ranking first in the group.

The Turkish team reversed Belgium 2:1 in the first game, reversed Switzerland 3:1 in the second game, and lost 1:2 to the Czech Republic in the last game, but accumulated six points in three games, two wins and one loss, and got two goal difference.

The Czech team defeated the host Switzerland 1-0 in the first game, lost to Belgium 1-2 in the second game, and although the last game of the group defeated Turkey 2-1, it also won two games and lost one in three games, but only one goal difference and was finally eliminated.

"The group stage was very tough, but I am confident that I can make the game easier in the next games, the German team used to be very strong, but now their form only proves that they are old, really old! We are confident that we can defeat them! ”

This is not the first time that Degan has said that German football is old, when he was still playing for AC Milan, Degan had said the same thing before the Champions League match with Bayern Munich, which also attracted protests from German football emperor Beckenbauer and the famous Rummenigge.

Now, more than two years later, in Degan's eyes, German football is still synonymous with aging and unbearable, and nothing has changed.

And it is not difficult to feel from Degan's words that Degan's strong self-confidence, people will not think that Degan is arrogant, because everyone knows very well that Belgium with Degan and Belgium without Degan are completely two different teams, if the Belgian team in the group stage before can only be regarded as the second rate in Europe, then after Degan's return, the European Red Devils will re-enter the ranks of the world's top teams, which is the role of stars and flags.

From the rest of the Belgian players, the journalists did not dare to feel the change in self-confidence, and it was not the group qualification that brought them this confidence, but the return of Degan.

Deegan thinks that German football is old, and the Germans naturally want to refute it, and the captain of the team, Ballack, said: "We will let that arrogant guy know that German football is great, and when the time comes, he will find out how stupid his ideas are!" ”

Ballack's Chelsea side were knocked out in the Champions League semi-finals by Degan's Fiorentina in the Champions League semi-finals, and Ballack was unhappy with the result after the second leg of the clash between the two teams, and now he has a chance to get his revenge.

"In the next game, that Brazilian doesn't want to get a point against us, we will turn his European Championship debut into a disaster!"

Mertesacker, a stalwart of the German team, also said: "We are not worried about the game against Belgium, they will definitely not be our opponents, Degan is confident, which is good, it will make the game more interesting, but the result of the game will not change, our goal is to win the championship, a small Belgium will not be an obstacle for us!" ”

Germany's current top scorer, Podolski, who has already scored three goals, challenged Degan directly: "I will show everyone who is the winner of this game, and if Degan wants to win in front of us, it is wishful thinking!" ”

All right!

Degan's words succeeded in arousing the anger of the Germans and making the game more and more interesting.

Deegan is very confident, but the general opinion of the outside world is unanimously optimistic that the German tank will enter the semi-finals, and the reasons they give are also very good, first of all, the Germans have always had a habit of slow heating in the competition, and their tenacious nerves are enough for them to face any challenge, and secondly, there are too many young players in the Belgian team, and in the starting eleven, young players account for most of them, and the lack of experience will become an irreparable disadvantage, even if it is Degan, So far, he has not made an appearance in the European Championships, and he has zero experience.

For the unanimous singing of the outside world, Digan responded at the first time: "Football games are not math problems, nor is it as simple as one plus one equals two, if you just need to calculate to analyze the final result, this game is not necessary to play at all, just send the Delaunay Cup to the hands of the Germans, the result of the game will appear in 90 minutes, and when the time comes, you people will definitely be surprised!" ”

Degan's self-confidence seems unreasonable, but people dare not refute it, and it turns out that every time people look down on Degan, they can only end up slapping themselves in the face.

Since Digan has said so, then it is better to wait for the final result.

However, people are more looking forward to seeing Degan's unlucky appearance, because he has been proud enough, and if he does win the Delaunay Cup, I am afraid that there is really no one who can prevent him from being crowned the champion.

The big battle between Belgium and Germany, people still need to wait patiently for a while, the first battle in the 1/4 finals has been ignited, as the two biggest dark horses in this European Cup, will face to face to start a competition, Croatia, Turkey, who can be black to the end, will soon see a distinction.
