Chapter 30: Europa league seat
Wang Feng was not surprised at all, his control over his body seemed to have improved during the practice, every fatigue feeling, even the threshold of tolerance, was clearly fed back to the brain.
He has not yet reached his limit, and he can still get better. The feeling of continuous improvement through practice makes him fascinated.
After a day of training, Wang Feng specially invited the relevant staff to have a dinner together to thank them for their hard work. Because the team is on holiday, the staff will also be on holiday, but Wang Feng's extra training plan makes them have to work overtime.
Although the club will pay for overtime work, Wang Feng still feels embarrassed. He silently made up his mind that when his salary increases next season, he will set up his own private training team as he can't always bother the staff.
When Wang Feng dragged his exhausted body back to the residence, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. He was lying on the bed, thinking about the game three days ago. He only remembered that many fans in the stands called his name and cheered for him. They were really a group of lovely people.
The reports after the game were even more overwhelming, but Wang Feng didn't dare to watch it. According to his teammates, some media thought Wang Feng's performance was impeccable, especially those two difficult goals, which definitely ranked among the best in Europe. One of the best goals in football history.
French star Zidane also noticed Wang Feng's first goal. He said in an interview: "Wang Feng's goal is full of passion and beauty. Somehow, I think I can try it too."
After hearing this, many Zidane fans curiously searched for Wang Feng's scoring video, and were overwhelmed by this goal. For the first time, Wang Feng really entered the field of vision of the top European football clubs.
It is worth mentioning that a certain god-level moderator on a domestic forum commented on this goal with "one sword to the west, flying fairy from the sky", so this goal action was also nicknamed "Flying fairy from the sky".
Of course, there are also many voices of doubt. The "Standard" must be on the list. It published an article that believed that Wang Feng was completely defeated by Jan Koller on the offensive end. Jan Koller not only won the victory, but also scored one more goal than Wang Feng.
"Compared to Jan Koller, the semi-finalist, Wang Feng is still just an immature child. Genk can only regret losing against Anderlecht."
Wang Feng was angry and thought it was funny, no matter how badly he behaved, he still wouldn't look like an immature child. Obviously, he and Jan Koller fought back and forth.
Why does the "Standard" always stare at Genk, and output it if there is a disagreement? I only found out after asking my teammates that this is a problem left over from the history of Belgium. The Dutch-speaking area and the French-speaking area do not deal well with each other.
"You don't have to care about this, Wang." Aaron Abigail comforted, "We, the opponents, the fans, and even anyone who watched that game know your ability. Sometimes you push yourself too much. If it is too tight, it will be like a string on a piano, which will be easily broken."
Maybe I really should adjust my mentality. This sixteen-year-old boy ushered in his first loss in his life, and he really began to transform into a professional player.
This night Wang Feng did not suffer from insomnia like the previous two days. He slept very soundly. In his dream, his family lived in a bright and spacious house. His mother and elder sister looked at him with smiles, and his younger sister pestered him like a little devil.
On the second day, people around were surprised to find that although Wang Feng was still training hard, his face was always filled with a confident smile, and he was no longer as bitter as when he just lost. The head coach Aimee Antonis was satisfied. Nodding his head: "To walk out so quickly, his maturity does not match his age."
Two weeks later, in the 29th round of the Ligue 1, Genk challenged Mechelen away. The long rest made the players of the two teams decline seriously. The players were not concentrating, made a fatal mistake, were intercepted by the Mechelen striker and they scored a goal.
Under the unfavorable situation of conceding a goal first, the Genk players finally cheered up. At the end of the first half, Wang Feng formed a clever cooperation with Caspar Blanche on the right side of the penalty area. Blanche taking the ball with his back and giving it back, Adrian Gale, who came in from the back, hit the ball and equalized for Genk.
In the 76th minute of the second half, Gale retreated to get the ball. After a one-on-one breakthrough from the left, he knocked back to Blanche in the middle. Blanche missed the ball with his left foot, but the goalkeeper let the ball go. Wang Feng immediately saw it. He hit the ball.
In the end, Genk defeated Mechelen 2:1, and the trident cooperation on Genk's front line became more and more tacit. After this campaign, Genk's ranking has risen again, and has reached the fourth place in the league, reaching the qualification zone for the UEFA Cup.
The Belgian Cup semi-finals will be held in the middle of the week. This is the only honor Genk can get this season. Therefore, the whole team attaches great importance to it. The opponent of the match was Standard Liege, a powerhouse in the first league. Right after the start, the home team launched a fierce attack.
"Bess took the ball at the back of the midfield and gestured for everyone to stabilize the attack. After the game started, although Genk's offensive was very violent, the effect was very low."
"Look at this time, Bess made a long pass to the right, Wang Feng caught the ball, it was beautiful, the ball seemed to be stuck to Wang Feng's feet, and he caught it easily. Continuous smashes, successfully past the defense, he cut inward near the edge of the penalty area."
"Hit the ball, goooooooooooooooooal! Wang Feng's left-footed long shot, let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. The ball is very powerful. The ball hits the dead corner of the goal. Although the goalkeeper of Standard Liege tried his best to save the ball, it is a pity that he still failed. He couldn't touch the ball"
Shortly after the start of the second half, after receiving a pass from Blanche in the penalty area, Wang Feng suddenly turned around with his back against the defender and hit a volley with his right foot, extending the score to 2:0.
In the end, with Wang Feng's brace, Genk beat Standard Liege 2-0 at home, almost stepping into the final with one foot.
In the 30th round of the league, Genk challenged Ghent away. Wang Feng was extremely active at the beginning of the game, and Genk's striker trident frequently posed threats to the opponent.
It's a pity that their luck seems to be not very good. In the 7th minute, after receiving Wang Feng's cross, Blanche hit the goal with a header on the crossbar. Only 5 minutes later, Gale broke through from the left and hit the goal from a small angle. The ball flew off the post, out of line.
The continuous siege finally paid off. In the 30th minute of the first half, Blanche broke through the middle with the ball. After attracting a large number of defensive players, he distributed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. The unguarded Wang Feng quickly inserted and pushed the ball into the back of the net. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂
Wang Feng, who finally scored a goal, also excitedly pulled Blanche to celebrate in the area of ??the Genk fans in the stands. Even in the away game, the fans were very enthusiastic and cheered for the team all the time.
Next, Ghent further strengthened its defense and seemed to have no desire to attack. They are in the middle of the league this season and have no pressure on results, so they played very conservatively even if they fell behind.
In the end, Genk beat Gent 1-0 in the away game, and the fourth position in the league was more stable.
