Chapter 68

Genk, who returned from Liverpool, ushered in the 32nd round of the league non-stop. The opponent is St. Turden, a city team from the Belgian province of Limburg.

Wang Feng, who has experienced the excitement of the big game, continued his excitement in this game. In the opening 5 minutes, Karl Beth took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it diagonally to Jason Aldridge on the left. Aldridge at the front of the penalty area Qi lost his balance under the pressure of the defensive player, but passed the ball with his right foot into the penalty area before falling to the ground.

Wang Feng, who was ambushing in the penalty area, suddenly started to move towards the ball, and the defenders beside him quickly stepped forward to defend. If the ball does not fly high, there is definitely no way to compete for the top. If you stop the ball at your feet and then deal with it, it will delay time and get into a double-team situation.

Thoughts in Wang Feng's mind were spinning rapidly, and he made a decision in an instant. He raised his left foot, swept back against the falling ball, exerted strength on his leg, and shot a shot like a scorpion wagging its tail.

The ball was fast and urgent, and flew to the lower left corner of the goal. Although the goalkeeper of St. Turden tried his best to save it, he could only look at the ball and sigh. 1:0, Genk made a perfect start.

In the 34th minute, after midfielder Gareth Barry steals the ball, he plays a super long pass through the ball. Relying on his own speed, Wang Feng comes from behind and succeeds in anti-offside, throwing off the defense in the penalty area The player caught up with the ball.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Wang Feng pushed calmly, and the ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs and entered the goal of Saint-Truden.

After scoring twice again, he ran while pointing at Barry, signaling him to come and celebrate the goal with him. 50% of the credit for the goal was Barry's precise passing, and the other 50% was due to Wang Feng's unparalleled speed advantage.

The first half ended with Genk taking the lead. Just when everyone thought Genk would win easily, the situation took a turn for the worse in the second half.

In the 51st minute, Wang Feng was brutally fouled while holding the ball and fell to the ground. The referee on duty gave the opponent a yellow card. Although Wang Feng was fine, the head coach Aimee Antonis was also in a cold sweat.

You know, the Europa League semi-final match against Liverpool is the top priority. Although Genk had an advantage in the first round, it is hard to imagine what the situation would be like without Wang Feng.

So Antonis decisively replaced Wang Feng with a substitute central defender to strengthen the team's defense.

The Genk players on the field were a little slack because of the score lead. In addition, after Wang Feng left the field, there were fewer people to restrain St. Turden's defense. In the 69th and 81st minutes, St. Turden scored two goals to tie the game. The score was equalized.

In the end, Genk's 3 points became 1 point, but their rival Anderlecht withstood the pressure in this round and defeated Brussels. Therefore, Genk's leading position in the standings has changed from 4 points reduced to 2 points.

In the locker room after the game, the head coach Antonis was furious: "With your mentality and level, why are you talking about beating Liverpool? Can you forget the scene of being behind by a big score?"

He rarely left everyone in the room, explained the mistakes made in the game to the players one by one, and did not leave until late at night, and then asked everyone to go to the training camp for training early the next morning to prepare for the game against Liverpool.

After the players left, assistant coach Quick Martin said, "Mr. Antonis, are you being too strict with them and putting extra pressure on the players."

Antonis shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, but since we have seen the dawn of victory, why don't we try our best? In fact, many of our players are a bit inferior in skills, but as long as we can play With 12 points of spirit, we can still compete with strong teams.

Three days later, the Luminus Arena ushered in the challenge of the Red Army Liverpool. There was a red area in a sea of blue, which was the area where the fans of the visiting team were. Although there were not many of them, they cheered for the team with high voices Cheer up.

This was the first time the Genk people saw the madness of the England fans, and soon they were not to be outdone, and sang the team song in unison, announcing to everyone that this is our home stadium!

In such a lively scene, the players of the two teams came on the stage. The faces of Liverpool players no longer had the decadence and confusion of the last round of defeat, but were full of confidence.

Head coach Gilad Houllier said to them before the game: "The only mistake we made in the last round was that we failed to restrain Wang Feng well, so in this game, as long as we pay enough attention to him, let him do nothing. , and everyone else is nothing to worry about.

"Believe in ourselves, we will definitely pass Genk and get our trophy!"

After the game started, Liverpool's defense against Wang Feng could be described as frenzied. When he was off the ball, there were always one or two people marking him. Once he received the ball, four or five people stepped forward to double-team.

Of course, this will leave a lot of open space for Genk's other offensive players. If it is a game in the League One, it will be easily converted into goals, but now it is against Liverpool, which is one of the best defenses in the world.

The situation of the game was completely different from the previous game. Genk created several shots in the first half, but unfortunately they were either too straight or just missed the goal frame.

On the other hand, Liverpool gave up their extreme ball possession and used counterattacks and positional positions. Gary McAllister and Michael Owen scored a goal each, easily reversing the total score.

Head coach Antonis of Genk looked at Houllier on the opposite bench with an ugly expression. He understood the tactics of the old fox. Opening ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is even equivalent to driving Wang Feng out of the arena with a few people.

Because Houllier believes that without Wang Feng, even if Genk has 10 players against Liverpool with 8 or even 7 players, there is no chance of winning.

At the end of the first half, Wang Feng felt powerless. It was really uncomfortable to be flanked by three or four world-class defenders.

The other players of Genk were also very uncomfortable. They had a faint feeling of what Liverpool's strategy was on the field, but they had no good way, and their strengths were quite different.

"Damn it!" Carl Beth punched the locker room cabinet, and said unwillingly, "Should we just watch the team step by step into the abyss of failure?"

Jason Aldridge and Gareth Barry were also very frustrated. They thought their strength was not bad, but they didn't expect that they were just abusing vegetables in the competition.

The head coach Antonis has no time to come to the locker room. He and the coaching staff are discussing the countermeasures intensely, but after discussing and discussing, they all feel that this is an unsolvable problem.

In the final analysis, the overall strength is still not enough. Relying on good signing luck and Wang Feng's superb performance, Henke has reached a level that does not belong to his own strength.

Just when the atmosphere in the locker room dropped to freezing point, Wang Feng stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, my performance in the first half was terrible, but please continue to trust me and leave the offense to me."

Bess heard the words and said: "Wang, you don't have to apologize, this is not your problem. Brothers, let's defend well in the second half and never let Liverpool score another goal!"

After everyone listened, they all nodded solemnly. Everyone opened their arms and surrounded the city in a circle. Captain Aaron Abigail said: "Let them see the perseverance of our Henk people."
