Chapter 200: The Black Hand
Belgium started exactly the same line-up as they did in the quarter-final win over Germany, with Bolaite coming forward and being supported by Dugan, Dembele and England.
The Turkish team has serious injuries, and many positions on the field can only allow players from other positions to make cameos, Topal, who has been playing in the back in the first few games, has partnered with Zan as a central defender, and the back is played by the returning Aurelio, and the single striker is a super substitute Sentuk.
However, in this game, Digan did not dare to take it lightly, he knew very well the character of those Turks, and the more difficult the situation, the more these Turks could bring out more potential.
Historically, in the semi-finals between the Turks and the Germans, the Turks fought with the Germans until the last minute in such a difficult situation.
Walking into the stadium, the stands are completely occupied by red, although the color is the same, but it is distinct, today's game, Belgium also has more than 20,000 people poured into the stadium, and the number of Turkish fans is roughly the same, but in terms of momentum, it is completely suppressed.
Entered, picked the side, and Belgium got the ball here.
Digan stood in the middle line, ready to kick off, looking at today's opponent, he actually felt an atmosphere of mourning, the Turkish players, everyone was grim, a pair of eyes, like a wolf, staring at themselves fiercely.
"Those Turks are really unfriendly!" Bolaette looked nervous.
Deegan smiled, "Do you want them all to be like gentlemen?" I'm looking forward to seeing what their faces will look like when the game is over! ”
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began, Bolaite kicked the ball to Degan, who swung his foot and handed the ball to Dembele behind him, and pulled it towards the wing.
As soon as Digan moved, the Turkish team's full-time defender Aurelio posted it as soon as possible, and it can be seen that in this game, Trim also made defensive arrangements around him before the game.
It's just that just one defender is enough?
Dembele didn't let the football stay at his feet for too long, seeing that Digan had been pulled to the side, he passed the ball over as soon as possible, and Belgium's tactical thinking was also very clear, that is, to attack with Digan as the core, and all the balls were handed over to Digan to handle.
Degan leaned on Aurelio, although Aurelio was also fighting for the position, but in terms of strength, he did not have any advantage at all, and was blocked behind by Degan, and he didn't even have a chance to interfere with his feet.
While receiving the ball, Deegan is also observing, the movement of teammates on the field, like this, has become the absolute offensive core of the team, in Atlanta before, Deegan also shouldered the same responsibility, at that time, after his teammates took the ball, the first thought was to hand the ball to him to deal with.
Later, whether it was in AC Milan or Fiorentina, Degan had more excellent teammates around him, and he was under a lot less pressure, although he would go crazy on the pitch from time to time, but not often after all.
But in the national team, Degan has to shoulder that responsibility again, he is the heart of Belgium, he is the flag, he is the spiritual leader, and there is no room for ambiguity when the team needs him.
"Is that what you can do?" Degan scoffed, he spoke in English, for fear that Aurelio wouldn't understand.
When Aurerio heard this, his brain instantly heated, and he was about to give Deegan a look, but found that Deegan suddenly turned around lightly, and his shoulder slammed into him covertly, and after hitting the gap, he drove away with the ball.
Seeing that Degan had broken through, Bolaite immediately turned and rushed towards the Turkish penalty area, and after Digan's return, he was able to replace Milaras in the main position because of his speed.
Deegan spotted the opportunity and played a long ball to the back of the Turkish backline, and his ability to shoot is not only reflected in the shooting, but also in the passing skills, and he has been the team's second assist at Fiorentina this season.
Degan's kick made it very difficult for the Turkish defenders, if they let it go and let goalkeeper Rustu pick it up, not only to guard against Bolaite's speed, but also to worry about what unpredictable situation will happen once the ball rebounds.
However, if you intercept it, the height of the two central defenders on the field is now worried about rising to the top, and at the same time, because Aurelio pressed to defend Degan, there is no way to form an effective protection for the second point, and once Belgium holds the second point, it will be dangerous.
It can be said that Digan's pass made the Turkish team extremely uncomfortable.
But it is this situation that makes people scruple left and right, and the Turks have chosen the most simple and direct way to crack it.
Topal quickly returned to defense, and Zan deliberately fell behind, and the moment Bolaite caught up, he directly collided and knocked Bolaite to the ground.
After falling to the ground, Bolaite did not hear the referee's whistle at the first time, sat on the ground and spread his hands to the referee, although the action of praise, giving a yellow card is a bit reluctant, but the foul is certain.
Bolaite yelled at the referee a few times, but the referee just told Bolaite to hurry up, and other than that, he didn't say anything at all.
After Zan got the ball, he drove the ball directly to the midfield, and the big Altentop took the ball, and then the Turkish attacking group swarmed up and launched an attack.
Although he suffered a dark loss, Digan didn't have the heart to entangle with the referee, he already vaguely felt that in this game, the Turkish team had made up its mind to use this rough way to block Belgium's attack, anyway, it was already full of injuries, and Trim seemed to be planning to make a desperate bet.
The brutality of the Turks also aroused the anger of the Belgian players, and in the following time, the players of both sides turned on their backs on the field, and in just a few minutes, the referee blew the game several times, trying to calm down both sides, but he was the culprit in this situation, if it wasn't for his loose penalty scale, the game would not have been so big at the beginning.
The hand-to-hand battle between the players lasted for several minutes, and it was not until the seventh minute that the two teams had their first decent attack, Cazim received a pass from Aurelio and fired a right-footed shot from outside the box, but it failed to make a difference and was easily collected by Bailly.
Bailly threw the ball to attack, Van Bitten took the ball, appeared a little hesitant, only to be cut off by his Bayern teammate Altentop and fired a low shot from the right rib, but fortunately Bailly was focused and made a timely attack to block the ball.
A few minutes later, Aurelio hoisted the ball into the box, Kompany barely got it down, Ackerman stopped the ball on the right side of the box and crossed back, Kazim cut in with a right-footed shot that bounced off the crossbar.
Immediately afterwards, Agul broke through on the left and crossed, and the front point Sentuk grabbed the point and was blocked by Vermaelen.
At this point in the game, people were surprised to find that the situation seemed to be very different from their pre-match predictions, and Belgium, which had won steadily, was suppressed by the Turkish team that was in the middle of the game, and the Belgian team was even more embarrassed than in the group stage.
Is it really the victory of the mourning soldiers?
Belgium had the heart to attack, but the Turkish team's defense became more and more fierce, and even Digan was put down three times, but the damn referee was so soft-hearted that he played Lin Daiyu, and every time he gave a verbal warning, which made Digan also angry, and during a defense, he chased directly back to the penalty area and knocked Aurelio to the ground.
Aurelio, who had picked up a big bargain just now, didn't even give up, and at this time, the referee was like a blue sky possessed, and he directly gave Digan a yellow card with a black face!
Di Gan couldn't get angry when he saw it, but he sneered: "Is this your punishment scale?" I bet the instructor must have been French when you attended the referee training course! ”
After Digan finished speaking, he didn't give the referee a chance to refute at all, turned around and left, he already felt that there was a hand behind this game that was being controlled, and it was not just a real knife on the football field that could be solved.
The referee made it clear that the biased law enforcement scale, if the Turks can't see it, they really need to make up for it, and in the next game, the Turkish players are getting bigger and bigger, looking at their meaning, it seems that they want to kick the Belgian team like them with injuries. Antienes protested several times to the fourth official of the game, but to no avail.
Finally, in the 22nd minute, the Turkish team scored, Sabri crossed from the right, Kazim fell to the ground and shot in front of him, the ball drew a strange arc over Bailly and hit the crossbar, Urgul followed up in time to make up the shot, the ball drilled into the goal from between Bailly's legs, Turkey 1:0.
Actually lagging behind!?
Although Degan knew that this game would definitely not be easy to play, after all, many factors were mixed together, and if Belgium wanted to win, it was not an easy thing to say, but he didn't expect to fall behind, and Degan was completely unprepared for the current situation.
Looking at the Turks celebrating wildly, although Digan's heart was uncomfortable, he also had to admire these Turks, despite the care of the referee, but this goal was real.
Antienes felt like a punch in the heart when the Turks scored, and quickly called Digan to the sidelines.
"Rod! The situation is very bad for us right now! ”
The situation is unfavorable!
Deegan certainly knows that if the equaliser is delayed, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Belgian team, and the players will first doubt themselves.
"Don't worry! Instructor! They won't be proud for long! ”
With that, Deegan turned and ran back to the kick-off, shouting for Bailly to kick the ball over, catch it, put it on the halfway line, and wait for the referee to restart the game.
Deegan never likes to disappoint, no matter what time he says, every word he says, he delivers, and it is still the same.
The celebration of the Turks lasted for a long time, and Degan did not mean to urge, and when the referee's whistle blew here, Degan immediately kicked the ball to Bolaite, and with a wave of his arm, everyone knew what he meant, and the Belgian team was about to fight back.
After Fellaini received the ball, he kicked the ball directly to the side, Naeng stopped the ball, and the Turkish defender posted it at the first time, looking at the opponent's fierce appearance, it was clear that he was planning to move roughly.
"Radgar! Pass! ”
Degan in the middle yelled, Naeng didn't dare to slack off, a big kick kicked the ball back to the middle, Deegan jumped high, unloaded the ball with his chest, and ignored the rushing Aurelio, and after landing, he rushed towards the Turkish penalty area.
Pator wanted to foul, but unfortunately his strength and Degan were not at the same level at all, and the small body was also humiliating when he collided with it, but Aurelio took advantage of this opportunity to catch up, and reached out to carry Degan's shoulder, but was struggled by Degan, his footing was unstable, and he almost fell.
"Foul! Foul! ”
Seeing this, Trim on the sidelines shouted anxiously, Degan was still one step away from entering the Turkish team's penalty area, and if he was really rushed into by Degan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It's just that he shouted so loudly, and he didn't know if he was reminding his players to block Digan with a foul, or reminding the referee that it was a very serious foul for Digan to bounce away Pator and Aurelio with a reaction force just now.
Degan's foot had already stepped on the line of the penalty area, and at this time, a ferocious impact from the big Altentop who returned to the defense finally stopped Degan.
No matter how strong Degan is, he can't really be invincible in the world, lying on the ground, staring fiercely at the referee standing next to him, if this ball is not a foul, no matter what the fuck is the European Cup semi-finals, Degan will definitely beat this old bastard half to death.
I don't know if it was Degan's eyes that were too sharp, or the referee's conscience found out, his whistle finally sounded, and he was fouled, but the gesture was a free kick.
Kick!
When the Belgian players saw this, they were about to rush to the referee to theorize, and idiots could see that Digan had just entered the penalty area, which was clearly a penalty.
"Get out of here!"
Deegan stood up, pushed all his teammates away, snatched the football from the referee's hand, put it on the line of the penalty area, and sneered at the stunned referee: "Whatever you decide, today's game, Lao Tzu has won!" ”
When the referee heard this, he was immediately angry, but in terms of the penalty scale, he did lose money, and he could also imagine that after the game, once the Belgian Football Association appealed to UEFA, he would definitely be the scapegoat who was killed.
"Rod! It's a penalty! "Gul is still unwilling!
Digan smiled when he heard this, and said, "What? Don't you believe in my technology? ”
Gul was stunned for a moment, looked at the Turkish goalkeeper Rustu who was waiting on the opposite side, and mourned for this old guy for a second in his heart, then turned around and left.
