Chapter 32: Transfer doubt and cup final
These reports were all mixed, so naturally they would not attract Wang Feng's attention, but when he saw a news item from the Belgian "Latest News", he instantly lost his composure. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
This news quoted the report of the French "L'Equipe", which said that Paris Saint-Germain had officially submitted an offer of 8 million euros to Genk, hoping to introduce Wang Feng.
"This offer is crazy," said former French international and famous coach Henri Michel.
However, Paris is obviously very optimistic about Wang Feng. The team chairman Lawrence Pompey even personally shouted to the media: "Wang, come to Paris. We are one of the five major leagues in Europe. Here we have a broader stage."
"You will be the cornerstone of Paris' future, and we will build the team around you."
Wang Feng quickly called his agent Francisco Balmond to inquire about the situation. Balmond was silent for a while and said, "Wang, I originally planned to contact you after you finished the cup final, but since you asked, I have to tell you."
"Genk has received a lot of offers from you, most of which range from 1 million euros to 3 million euros. Paris did propose an offer of 8 million euros, and the manager of Genk was shocked."
"This side is hesitant now. You know, Genk's finances have not been very good, and this huge sum of money is enough to turn them around."
Wang Feng said bluntly: "I don't want to leave, Balmond, at least not this summer, I don't want to change three teams a year, you go talk to Bill Albert, as long as you strengthen the defense this summer, I will promise to do better next year."
"I'm even willing to make some concessions on salary," Wang Feng said.
After hearing it, Bamond said: "I understand what you mean, Wang. I will further negotiate with the team manager, but your salary must increase significantly, otherwise it will not meet your status and role in the team."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Feng was a little helpless. It should have been a happy thing for him to be so favored, but the timing was too unfortunate. Every time he changed teams, it took him a while to get used to it.
And now he is still too immature and need to continue to sharpen his skills, it is still difficult to gain a firm foothold in the five major leagues.
"Then win the cup first and let Bill Albert see our hope for next season." Wang Feng secretly decided.
Renee Delvaux sits in the stands area where Genk fans sit at the Lottopark in Brussels, surrounded by players from Virton and head coach Mette Magritte.
'I remembered that Wang Feng returned to Virton a few days ago and brought him more than 20 tickets for the Belgian Cup final. I hope he can invite his former teammates who want to watch the game to the scene.'
For players like Virton, the Belgian Cup final is the highest stage of honor they can stand on. Unfortunately, no team from the second team has been able to make it to this stage for many years.
Paul Chuck looked at Wang Feng running on the field with complicated eyes. Just over half a year ago, he looked down on Wang Feng very much, thinking that he could not become a professional player, but he did not expect that he would grow to such a level in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the nearby Genk fans shouting Wang Feng's name with crappy pronunciation, and seeing the offer worth 8 million euros in the news, Chuck knew that this was an achievement that he would never achieve in his life.
"Even though I've watched it on TV many times, I still can't believe it," coach Magritte said with emotion: "Wang Feng has made great progress. When he was in Virton, he only had good dribbling skills and good speed."
"However, after just half a season of competition, he has practiced his foot skills so well. Just now, he made a quick forward move, and then passed the defense with a fancy dribble, which can be described as smooth. " 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Yeah," Renee nodded in agreement, "When I first came to Belgium, Wang was like a bamboo pole. He fell down as soon as he hit it. He couldn't adapt to confrontation at all. I didn't expect him to be able to compete with Anderlecht's defenders now."
While a few people were discussing Wang Feng, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Adrian Gayle broke through with the ball from the left. The defender grabbed the spot and pushed the ball hard.
After the ball came to the frontcourt, Blanche accurately judged where the ball landed, rushed to it, and ferried the header to Wang Feng on the right. With his back to the goal, Wang Feng turned around directly after stopping the ball with his chest, and volleyed with his left foot.
Only a "bang" was heard, and the ball rushed out like a cannonball. The Anderlecht goalkeeper tried his best to stretch his arms to save, but the ball flew into the goal from between his arms.
"The ball went in, goooooooooooooooooooal! In the 17th minute, Wang Feng knocked on Anderlecht's gate, 1:0, and Genk took the lead in the final!"
"Let's take a look at the replay. Wang Feng was more than 30 meters away from the goal. After receiving a pass from Blanche in the frontcourt, he stopped the ball with his chest. Without making any adjustments, he turned around and volleyed. This is an out-and-out world class goal."
"It seems that Wang Feng can always play high-quality and highly entertaining goals against Anderlecht. In the last league match, he contributed the volley and upside-down golden hook that shocked European football. Today, he made another beautiful volley."
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng ran excitedly to the stands where the Genk fans were. Roaring and venting their regrets about the defeat last time, the fans in the stands also stood up to respond to him.
Only 4 minutes later, Genk made a comeback, Gale broke through from the left again, and then made a cross. Blanche from the front point struggled to take off and hit the ball. The ball flew towards the penalty spot, but there was clearly no one there.
The Anderlecht defender on the left suddenly thought of something, and quickly shouted: "Fill your position!" Then he ran towards the ball, but at this moment, a figure rushed out like lightning and came to the ball before him.
"Wang Feng's speed is very fast. He unloaded the ball, hit the goal, and scored. In just 4 minutes, Genk once again extended the score!"
"It's Wang Feng again. He is in great form. He hits both time and scored twice. In comparison, Jan Koller seems to have not yet entered the state. He has not completed a shot until now."
The reason why Jan Koller's performance is relatively sluggish is mainly because the Genk coaching staff made special defensive arrangements for him, trying their best to block Anderlecht's cross from the wing, so that Jan Koller could not take advantage of his height.
After the first half of the game, Genk had touched the trophy with one hand, but in the locker room, the head coach Aimee Antonis still reminded everyone: "Everyone, don't be careless, Anderlecht's strength is very strong. If you are not careful, you will be overturned."
After the opening of the second half, Anderlecht really launched a fierce attack on Genk. Jan Koller frequently created opportunities on the front line. He used his physical advantages to the extreme and ran without saving his energy.
Head coach Antonis had to make substitution adjustments, replacing Adrian Gale with a tall defender who was close to marking Jan Koller.
