Chapter 28: Strong spirit
Before the game, a reporter specifically interviewed Jan Kohler, the semi-legendary Golden Boot, about Wang Feng's recent performance. "Yes, Wang is indeed an excellent shooter, and his performance is enough to look forward to. But he is only 16 years old, and I will tell him that the future is his and the present is mine."
On the day of the game, the Luminus Arena at night was as bright as day, and the stands were crowded with people. The sound was so loud that it could be heard from far away. The mood of Genk fans this season was like a roller coaster. As the defending champion team, they fell into the relegation zone at the beginning of the league, and the mood of the fans sank to the bottom.
Since the new year, when the young player Wang Feng joined the team, Genk has completely changed. They have won consecutive games and made the fans feel the long-lost happiness.
Before the players from both sides entered the field, many fans had already chanted Wang Feng's name, and when the Genk players walked out of the channel one by one, they stood up and applauded, until Wang Feng was introduced into the field, there was a roar of mountains and tsunamis into the stand.
Wang Feng, who just came out, was also taken aback. Although the fans are usually very active, he didn't expect them to be so excited for this game. The decibels should have broken a hundred.
Karl Bass put his arms around Wang Feng and said loudly in his ear: "We and Anderlecht are old enemies, and we won the league championship from them last year, so when it comes to playing Anderlecht, the fans are always very excited."
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began. After the opening, both sides were more cautious. Anderlecht's midfield has many Belgian internationals and international players from other countries, so their overall level is higher than Genk. They quickly take the initiative and try to attack Genk.
As arranged before the game, Wang Feng has been surrounded by two or more defensive players. They are all experienced defensive players, occupying positions very cleverly, not only defending Wang Feng's receiving route, but also blocking his breakthrough route.
The ball in the midfield couldn't pass to Wang Feng's feet at all, and he was frequently blocked when he retreated to get the ball, so he could only pass it out. freewebnovel.c om
In the 27th minute, Anderlecht got a corner kick. When the ball passed to the penalty area, the 2.02-meter Jan Koller jumped up like a chicken and headed the ball into the goal. Anderlecht took the lead.
Seeing Jan Koller celebrating wildly, Wang Feng was very unconvinced. He called Karl Bess, Caspar Blanche and Adrian Gail aside and said, "Anderlecht just scored a goal, their mentality must be relaxed, we will play a counterattack at the beginning of the game and try to equalize the score."
The three looked at each other, looked at Wang Feng's resolute eyes, and nodded.
"Jan Koller's goal this time is definitely the best embodiment of his physical ability. He is currently the best center forward in the League One. There is no dispute."
"We saw that Genk was about to serve, Bess passed the ball to Blanche, and Blanche took the ball forward, isn't he going to step back to press the rhythm? Wang Feng and Gail are also there going forward, it seems like we're going to play a fast break."
"Blanche passed the ball to Gail and took it to the left. Anderlecht's defenders had already pressed over. Gail moved further and further to the side. The ball was about to be lost. This attack was a bit too anxious."
"Let's see how Gail handles it. He kicked the ball and made a forced pass. The landing point was not good. When he reached the top of the arc, Wang Feng was responding. How to deal with it..."
The on-site commentator was extremely surprised. He covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief, and it took him a moment to react: "goooooooooooooooooooal! God, what did I see! Wang Feng, Wang Feng turned half sideways, facing the falling ball, and directly volleyed with his left foot the ball blasted through Anderlecht's gate like a cannonball."
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion playback again. Gail's cross touched the defender's calf. The ball flew a little high and landed near the top of the arc in the penalty area. Wang Feng judged the landing point, adjusted his position slightly, and waited for the ball. When it fell to his waist, he directly blasted a volleying ball towards the goal."
"My God, I can guarantee that this is one of the best goals in the league, no, even in European football, and even in world football. You are fortunate to witness history."
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng rushed to the stands to celebrate with the fans. He didn't expect the goal to be scored! When he saw the ball falling, he originally wanted to stop the ball and make a breakthrough, but at that moment, he had a feeling that it was better to hit the ball directly with his left foot as the defensive players would be caught off guard.
He has always believed in his own feelings, so he no longer hesitated. Relying on his past training experience, he successfully hit the ball with sufficient strength. The ball drew a slightly curved arc in the air and fell into the goal. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Feng's teammates who arrived afterward jumped on Wang Feng's body one after another, pinning him down and stacking up. They were also shocked by Wang Feng's shot.
Less than a minute behind, relying on this wonderful volley, Genk successfully equalized the score.
This score was also maintained until the halftime break.
In the 65th minute, Anderlecht passed the ball continuously in the backcourt of Genk. Finally, the ball came to Jan Koller.
1:2, Anderlecht once again overtook the score! After the goal, Jan Koller shook his fingers and ran to celebrate. Although this goal was not as exciting as Wang Feng's, it was a really good one.
Jan Kohler is using his own performance to fulfill his pre-match rhetoric. Wang Feng's eyes ignited with raging fighting spirit
'I don't want any future, I just want now, in this game, to defeat him!'
Afterwards, Wang Feng ran more actively in the field. For the first time, he felt tired. The organs in his body seemed to tell him that he had reached the limit, but he ignored it, gritted his teeth and continued to run. In the 69th minute, Wang Feng, who received the ball in the midfield, passed two players one after another, but was tackled near the frontcourt. The defender was shown a yellow card, and the set ball was directly missed by Aaron Abigail. .
In the 72nd minute, Wang Feng broke through with the ball in the frontcourt again. Seeing that the situation was not good, the defensive player directly hugged him and received another yellow card. In the 74th, 77th, and 79th minutes, Wang Feng actions created a very threatening opportunity, forcing the defensive player to foul. In just 10 minutes, Anderlecht's defensive players received 3 yellow cards, and almost everyone in the defense was yellow.
It's a pity that Genk didn't grasp the set-piece opportunity he got. Instead, in the 81st minute, Anderlecht counterattacked defensively. After forming a two-on-two, Jan Koller passed the goalkeeper and scored an empty goal. Feng chased back to the small penalty area, but unfortunately failed to stop it in the end.
1:3! Anderlecht sealed the victory and Jan Kohler scored a hat-trick.
Wang Feng, who galloped for more than 80 meters, was lying on the lawn, panting heavily, as if there was an evil voice whispering in his ear, rest, the limit is reached, no matter how hard you try, there is no power to recover.
There is no limit, he roared, stood up with support, picked up the football in the goal and ran towards the center line. The frustrated players around were moved when they saw this scene, and they quickly stood up. Captain Aaron Abigail even negotiated with the referee to stop Anderlecht from celebrating endlessly.
