Chapter 17: Full score
In the stands, the fans of the home team erupted into deafening cheers, and a fan asked his companions loudly: "Who is the number 30 who passed the ball, and why I haven't seen him before."
The companion next to him was also very puzzled, and replied loudly: "I don't know, maybe it's the team's winter signings."
The reporters on the sidelines were also very confused. They could clearly see that Caspar Blanche's goal was entirely due to the support of No. 30. Who is he, what country is he from, how old is he, and when did he come to Genk?
While everyone was looking at each other, a daily reporter from the Luxembourg province said: "I know him. He played for Virton some time ago. He scored in three consecutive games and scored a hat-trick in the third game. The youngest age record for a hat-trick player."
The reporter then added: "His name is Wang Feng, he is 16 years old, and he is from China."
Other reporters also recalled what happened a month ago, and felt a little impressed, which also caused a little sensation at that time. One of the reporters said: "I still vaguely remember it, but there was no news about him later. I thought it was just a flash in the pan. I didn't expect that he had left Virton and came to Genk."
"Yeah, it seems that he didn't play this month, just to wait for the winter break to register after the transfer window opens." The daily reporter said with emotion: "But it seemed that Anderlecht and Bruges were both interested in him. I didn't expect him to choose Genk in the end."
Naturally, Wang Feng was unaware of the situation in the audience seats and on the sidelines of the field. He was just happy that he had made a difference in his first game representing Genk. It would be great if he could score a goal. He silently made up his mind.
After the game restarted, the two sides played back and forth, but Wang Feng could clearly feel that Genk's central lane seemed to be getting better, and the midfielders became more confident in handling the ball after leading the score.
At the end of the first half, Caspar Blanche failed to break through with the ball, so he had to pass it back to the midfield. After receiving the ball, Karl Bass saw Wang Feng on the right, and without hesitation moved his big foot to the midfielder. On the right side, Wang Feng and the defensive player started at the same time, but Wang Feng was faster and hit the ball first. He poked the ball forward hard, and then chased after it.
He ran past the defender, and approached the penalty area in the blink of an eye. The opponent's defender quickly stepped forward to defend, and Wang Feng kicked the ball forward with a little force. The opponent's defender had to chase the ball again, but Wang Feng was the first to catch up with the ball, and suddenly stopped. The opponent's player was caught off guard and ran past him.
When the opponent barely controlled his body and turned to defend, Wang Feng suddenly started again, and easily passed by the defender who was standing still. The opponent defender quickly stretched out his hand, trying to hold Wang Feng, but he was too fast, so he only toucheds his clothes slightly.
Wang Feng, who entered the penalty area, did not hesitate to volley vigorously with the instep of his right foot. The ball continued to spin in the air and hit the upper right corner of the goal.
The Ghent goalkeeper was taken aback. He jumped up to save and stretched his body to the extreme. He felt the football in his left hand and was overjoyed. Refracted into the net on the side frame.
2:0! At the end of the first half, Genk marked another goal.
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng rushed to the stands excitedly, and enthusiastically responded to the fans of the home team. And the Genk fans in the stands also fell into madness. Most of them didn't know Wang Feng, but it didn't stop them from praising the No. 30 in front of them.
The Ghent players who conceded another goal were very frustrated, and their morale had fallen to the bottom. Until the referee blew the whistle for the first half of the game, they had not recovered.
During the intermission, head coach Aimee Antonis praised the team's performance, especially Wang Feng's performance, and encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts and start the New Year's journey with a big victory.
The Ghent players hadn't recovered from the exodus, but the leading Genk played more and more courageously. In the 53rd minute, after Wang Feng received the ball in the midfield, he shook the defensive player with fried meatballs, and then passed For Karl Bass, then a quick drive from the wing, receiving a pass and crossing to find Caspar Blanche, who again missed his header.
In the 67th minute, Wang Feng received the ball at the front of the penalty area, made some adjustments, and shot vigorously. The ball hit the post and flew out of the baseline. Wang Feng's position is 25 meters away from the goal. Usually he would go a little deeper before shooting, but now that the team is leading, he also played more relaxedly, so he wanted to try.
Ghent's defence was firmly restrained by Wang Feng, causing their attack to be timid, and they did not pose a threat any more. As time goes by, they also become more and more impatient.
In the 73rd minute, after Wang Feng received the ball, the Ghent defender made a fierce tackle from behind, causing him to fall to the ground fiercely. The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he showed a yellow card to the defender. Teammates gathered around to ask about Wang Feng's situation. Wang Feng patted his body and said he was fine. He felt that his physical fitness seemed to have improved. If it was before, he would definitely be injured just now.
When the head coach Antonis saw Wang Feng fell to the ground, his eyelids jumped up. After Wang Feng got up like a normal person, he was a little relieved. He was frightened by the team's repetitive injury. freewebnovel. com
So Antonis arranged for a backup guard to warm up and prepare to replace Wang Feng. When the overall situation was almost settled, he could no longer lose troops.
Two minutes later, when the ball was dead, the head coach made a decisive substitution. After leaving the field, Wang Feng received warm applause from the fans of the home team. They all stood up and cheered for Wang Feng. Wang Feng also raised his hands and applauded in response to the enthusiasm of the fans.
In the following time, without Wang Feng's restraint, Ghent aggressively pressed the offence, but Genk's defence was also very good, thwarting their chances again and again. Instead, in the 87th minute, Genk seized a counterattack opportunity and scored another goal from midfielder August Amber.
3:0! The game has lost its suspense. Genk has secured the victory and successfully entered the top 8 of the Belgian Cup.
This score was also maintained until the end of the game. When the referee whistled, the players and coaches on the Genk bench rushed into the field to celebrate. The head coach Aimee Antonis and Wang Feng were the focus of everyone's attention.
The fans in the stands were reluctant to leave the field for a long time. They sang the team song to celebrate the team's victory.
"I am very satisfied with today's game. Whether it is offence or defence, we have done our best. This is a good start. I hope everyone can continue to work hard." In the locker room after the game, head coach Aimee Antonis praised everyone.
Then he turned his gaze to Wang Feng and said: "Wang, you are the key figure in the team's victory, and I believe you will be the best player in the game. You have performed like this for the first time on behalf of Genk. I handed in a perfect score, I hope you can continue to maintain it."
Everyone was not surprised to hear what the head coach said, only Bobby April was unhappy. The better Wang Feng performed, the less likely he was to play, and he might even be abandoned.
