After receiving a notice from the Belgian Football Association, Digan did not delay, and after saying goodbye to Park Ji-yeon, he returned to Belgium alone.

And as long as he plays in the national team's game, then Barcelona's rumors about his injury will be self-defeating.

After arriving in Brussels, Degan first got in touch with the current team's head coach Wilmots, who took over from Antienes as the new head coach of the Belgian team after the 2010 World Cup.

In the period that followed, the two men worked very well together, with Wilmots completely inheriting the style of play from the Antienes era and continuing to entrust Deegan with important responsibilities, which made it seem as if nothing had changed.

In the previous European Championship qualifiers, Belgium maintained a full victory, and Wilmots's support among fans is getting higher and higher, after all, compared with Antienes, Wilmots's career is blank, but his career is more brilliant, he has made 70 appearances for the Belgian national team and participated in the World Cup finals four times, and is recognized as the spiritual leader of Belgian football.

Born in 1969 as the son of a farmer, Wilmots signed his first professional contract with Truden at the age of 16.

In 1988, Wilmots was voted Belgium's best young player, and a year later he moved to Magellan, where he won the league title in his first season.

In 1990, Wilmots made his international debut and was named in the Belgian squad for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, although he was not given the chance to play.

The following year, Wilmots joined Standard Liège, where he played for a total of four years, and although he was selected for the national team again and qualified for the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Wilmots only played against Saudi Arabia and was criticized at home, with the proud Wilmots announcing his retirement from the national team.

In 1996, he moved to Schalke 04 in Germany, which is considered a turning point in his career, in Schalke's first season, Wilmots helped the team win the UEFA Cup, and the final of Inter Milan was Wilmots's masterpiece, Wilmots scored in both legs of home and away matches, and finally Schalke 04 defeated Inter Milan in a penalty shootout.

In the 2002 World Cup, Wilmots led the Red Devils to the round of 16 of Belgium, achieving another miracle, and after retiring, Wilmots did not continue his football achievements, but became a member of the Belgian Parliament.

But after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the Belgian Football Association suddenly announced that the former international, Marc. Wilmots will succeed Antienes as national team manager until the 2014 World Cup.

Although Digan felt a little sorry for Antienes leaving the national team, he also had a tacit understanding with Wilmots, and for half a year, he was also safe.

However, this time, Degan obviously felt that something was not right, and when the national team assembled in the previous two times, Wilmots would notify Degan as soon as he arrived and attend the meeting of the team's coaching staff, which is also a tradition left over from the Antienes era.

But this time, Deegan has been here for two days, and seeing that the players have arrived, Wilmots doesn't seem to have any intention of "summoning" him alone.

And in the first training session after the team assembled, Deegan also felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal.

The members of the coaching staff of the Antienes era have also left with the departure of Antienes, and the current coaching staff of the Belgian national team has been reconstituted after Wilmots took office.

Like Wilmots, these are former Belgian internationals with little coaching experience, but they all have a lot of influence among the fans.

In the past, in the Antienes era, Belgian football had gradually begun to change from a power-based style of play to a technical style of play, but judging from this day's training, it seems that Wilmots intends to bring the Belgian national team back to tradition.

A full day of training is all about practicing strength, long balls and headers, and even Wilmots also organized an intra-team training match, which requires every player, when handling the ball, as simple as possible, often from the back to find the high point on the front line.

Although there is nothing wrong with Degan, the problem is that the previous emphasis on speed and ground coordination has lasted for several years, what does this sudden change mean?

And now in the Belgian team, whether it is Hazard, Dembele, or Degan, they are all very skilled players, so let them give up their advantages and start playing this kind of simple and rough football, isn't this a sacrifice of strengths?

Puzzled, Digan found Wilmots after the training: "Coach! Are you planning to change the tactics of the Belgian national team? ”

Wilmots couldn't help frowning when he heard Degan's tone: "Is there any problem?" The way we used to play was so sissy, we have to change our thinking and rediscover the essence of Belgian football, do you have a different opinion? ”

Degan did not hide his attitude in the slightest: "Yes! Coach, I don't think it's appropriate, there are a lot of players in the national team who are very good at small skills, I think we should play this type of player, like Eden Hazard, is the value of his existence to be to pull on the side and then cross down? There's Fellaini and Naeng, he's got a lot of skill at his feet and he's got a lot of longitudinal passing, but today it looks like you're going to transform them into butcher-type midfielders, as long as they defend the ball and kick the ball forward, I don't think it's very suitable? ”

Listening to Degan's words, Wilmots's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "You are questioning my decision, Mr. Degan, you are the captain of the national team, all you have to do is to assist me in my work, manage other players, what kind of tactics should be used during the game, these things, I am in charge, all you have to do is obey!" ”

Speaking from the heart, although the success of the Belgian national team in the European Cup, the Intercontinental Cup, and the World Cup before, Wilmots was also very happy, and he also admired Degan very much, but the only dissatisfaction was the team's tactics, the Antienes era, at the beginning, could still maintain the traditional playing style of Belgian football, but later, it became more and more technical, especially in the World Cup in South Africa, it was simply a strong version of Spain, and those short passes, in Wilmots's view, had no value at all.

Belgian football, in his heart, should be an indomitable battle, with strength and iron to make the opponent fearful, with a strong body, to break through the opponent's defense, they did it in that era, this is the tradition of Belgian football, it is purification, but it was completely abandoned by the Belgian national team in the Antienes era.

This made Wilmots feel very unhappy, when he first took office, because he had not yet figured out how to change the team's style of play, so he fully accepted Antienes's tactics, and now he has made up his mind to make a big change in the Belgian national team to bring Belgian football back to its original trajectory.

Wilmots is very confident in his reforms, because in the forward line, there are two tall centre-forwards who are fast and physically strong, with Degan and Lukaku.

But now, as the captain, Degan is openly questioning his decision, which makes Wilmots a little dissatisfied, and his tone is a little stiff.

Wilmots's words made Degan a little dissatisfied, especially the sentence "All you have to do is obey", which made Degan feel angry: "Coach! This is the team, not the army, I can't do it unconditionally to you, and I don't think it's pointless for you to change, the Belgian way of playing has been fully implemented in the last few years, and what we have to do now is how to go on the right path and keep improving, not overthrowing! ”

"Rod! You have to know that I'm the manager here! I'm the one who has the final say! Wilmots said angrily, and his voice suddenly became louder.

Degan didn't have the slightest sense of fear, and then roared back: "I said, this is not an army, and there is no need for a dictator, let alone a dictator who wants to make mistakes!" ”

Wilmots's eyes flashed with coldness: "Are you saying that I am hurting Belgian football by doing this?" ”

Degan said coldly: "At least for now, it's like this! ”

The two conversations ended up unhappily, and the next day, during training, as soon as Wilmots appeared, he announced a decision that would be enough to detonate a bomb among the players: "From now on, Digan will no longer be the captain of the Belgian national team. Kompany takes over! ”

When Deegan heard this, he was furious, but seeing that there were reporters around him, he held back and handed the captain's armband to Kompany, but it was clear that the matter would not be settled like that.

Kompany looked blankly at the captain's armband that was stuffed into his hand by Digan, and suddenly felt a sense of panic, he had always been the younger brother of Digan's side, in the national team, in Fiorentina, but now ~~~~~

Wilmots's tone was unmistakable: "Vincent, this is my trust in you to hold it, you will be an excellent captain!" ”

In the following training, Wilmots seemed to be eyeing Degan, scolding loudly from time to time, as if he was not satisfied with what Degan did.

In the past, Deegan was the core of the Belgian team, but now, Wilmots asked for more of the ball to be handed over to the two wings, and all Deegan had to do was to stand in the penalty area and wait for his teammate's cross, and then head the goal, every time Deegan wanted to retreat to the midfield to get the ball, Wilmots would immediately roar from the sidelines.

"I said it, go to the front, go to the front! You don't understand, do you? ”

Finally, Deegan couldn't stand it anymore, although he wanted to control his emotions, it didn't mean that he could tolerate others riding on his neck to and pee, and he was indifferent.

"Shut up, you stupid idiot!" Deegan rushed to the sideline in a few steps, glared at Wilmots and yelled.

Finally broke out, I don't know why, when I saw this scene, everyone actually had a sense of relief, the atmosphere just now was really scary.

Wilmots also seemed to have expected it, and even had some expectation, and also glared at Degan: "You have to figure out who you are talking to!" ”

"Of course, I'm well aware that I'm talking to a bastard whose brain is full of poop, fuck you. Mom Reform! You bastard, sooner or later you will ruin Belgian football! ”

After Degan finished yelling, he ripped off his upper clothes, and walked towards the gate of the training ground, a group of reporters immediately surrounded him, and they all saw the scene that happened just now, in addition to shock, they were still shocked.

Since Digan eliminated the contradiction between Walloon and Fleish, the Belgian national team has always felt very harmonious, but today on the training ground, the team manager and team captain broke out, no! Deegan has been stripped of his captain's armband, but the conflict between the manager and the core is scary enough.

"Don't ask me boring questions, you've all seen it just now, that damn bastard made us throw away the tactics we've been working with and do that bullshit reform, all right! He can continue, in the Belgian national team without me, he can do whatever he wants! Go to TM's game and get nothing with that bastard who doesn't know anything! ”

After saying that, Deegan pushed the reporter away and left the training ground angrily.

All that was left was an uproar of reporters, a bewildered player, and a smug Wilmots.

That's right!

All this was designed by him, since he sat in the position of head coach of the Belgian national team, Wilmots found that his position in the national team was very embarrassing, because there is Digan here, and Degan is the king here, what he wants to do, if Degan doesn't speak, he can't do it at all, which makes Wilmots, who is used to controlling everything, how can he stand it.

So, the storm that has been brewing for a long time is blowing today.

Unexpectedly, it went surprisingly well, and now that Deegan is gone, then the Belgian national team will be the place where he alone has the final say.
