Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Back in Genk, the weather has entered early winter and the temperature is much lower than Kuala Lumpur. Wang Feng was tired and began his recovery training under Abel Le Goff. He's still in jet lag.
Tomorrow is round 16 of the match, also the last round of the first half. Genk will face newly promoted Huasland Beveren at home. Head coach Aimee Antonis decided to replace Wang Feng because his condition was actually relatively bad.
After the match started, although Henk controlled the situation on the field, he could not score a goal for Beveren for a long time. In the 51st minute of the second half, Beveren deployed a defensive counter-attack and striker Alberto Law scored the goal. Genk falls into a disadvantageous situation!
The home team's fans in the stands gradually became agitated. They called Vuong Phong's name, then they shouted even louder. The entire stadium echoed with cries of "wangfeng, wangfeng".
Head coach Aimee Antonis did not expect Wang Feng to reach this level in the hearts of fans, because he has never disappointed everyone. It seems that as long as Vuong Phong plays, all problems will be solved.
At minute 78, Vuong Phong was replaced. In the stands, deafening applause rang out, everyone cheered, expecting Vuong Phong to give them another miracle. Vuong Phong, who had just competed, clearly had not yet fully recovered, and his running style was no longer as precise as before, but it was enough to make Beveren feel like he was facing an enemy. When focusing on Vuong Phong, it is easy for others to create empty opportunities.
Five minutes after Wang Feng played, he received a pass from midfielder Bess in the front half, leaned on the defender and turned around, squeezed the ball with his feet to avoid collision, and then entered the penalty area.
This time Vuong Phong's starting speed was not too fast, so defender Beveren in front of the penalty area blocked him. Vuong Phong used the outside of his right foot to rub the ball, forming a strange arc on the ground. Rounding the blocked defender, he reached Jason Aldridge in the box.
Aldridge did not waste this great opportunity, calmly volleying home to level the score for Genk.
After scoring the goal, Aldridge flew into the stands, followed by Wang Feng, both raising their hands to greet the fans, their other teammates surrounding them to celebrate their hard-earned goal.
Although Genk eventually drew 1:1 against Beveren, they were still two points ahead of Anderlecht in the league standings, beating them to become champions at half-time.
After the game, the players gathered together to celebrate, with even head coach Aimee Antonis joining in. People were noisy until late and winter vacation officially started the next day. The team won't meet until early January.
.....
Vuong Phong lay alone in the dormitory, with many thoughts in his mind. He had spent the last two years abroad without knowing it. At first he was afraid of being fired and was sad to return to his hometown, but now he is sad because he cannot return home to reunite with his loved ones. Humans are truly complex creatures.
The next day, Vuong Phong woke up early as usual. He has developed his own biological clock. After a simple shower, he started running in the park by the lake.
Vuong Phong has made detailed arrangements for this vacation. He will travel to Ostend, West Flanders, Belgium's westernmost city, for further training with personal trainer Abel LeGoff.
Ostend is one of the most important port cities in Belgium. The warm and humid air of the Atlantic Ocean makes this place warm in winter and cool in summer, which is why Vuong Phong chose this place.
During Christmas, Ostend hosts major concerts and exhibitions. In the city there are racetracks, four-season swimming pools, amusement docks, art museums and the Ensul museum as well as excellent swimming beaches, spas, hotels and coastal resorts. Bored. . Francisco Balmond once helped Vuong Phong find a private villa to rent in an area near the sea, priced at only 800 euros per month, with full and very convenient fitness equipment inside.
Beth and Chivu returned home with their families, so this time Vuong Phong could only practice alone.
After morning exercise, Vuong Phong returned to the dormitory, packed his things a bit and then went directly to the airport with Legoff to board the plane to Ostend.
As soon as he got off the plane, Vuong Phong could immediately feel the sea breeze blowing through his nose, accompanied by a fishy smell. Worthy of being a port city. Ostend differs from Genk in being dry and cold. Even in December, the temperature will not be very low. He was wearing thick clothes and it was a bit hot.
The two of them kept walking to the beachside villa. When they arrived, it was exactly as Balmond had described, a place with pleasant scenery. The villa is located in a group of small villas. It is a two-story building. On the first floor are the large living and dining rooms as well as the kitchen and bathroom. Most importantly, there is a heated swimming pool outside. Small acreage. UU read www .uukanshu.com But it is enough for regular swimming practice.
In the basement there is a large gym with full workout equipment, not far from the Genk Club gym.
There are four bedrooms on the second floor, the largest with panoramic sliding glass doors opening onto a spacious balcony, facing the ocean and beach. You may see tourists playing in pairs or threes.
Vuong Phong couldn't help but ask next to Balmond: "Bamond, how much is this house?" 150,000 euros, but annual taxes and management fees are quite expensive."
When Vuong Phong heard this, he rejected this idea. 150,000 euros is actually not too expensive for him now, but he cannot live there for a few days a year and has to bear other complicated expenses so renting is more reasonable.
After resting for a while, Vuong Phong began practicing according to the plan outlined by Legoff. The difference with the Genk training ground here is that there is no dedicated football practice field, so Wang Feng mainly focuses on fitness, yoga and swimming to continuously practice physical strength and endurance.
Of course, you can't stop practicing football completely. Vuong Phong will practice juggling balls in the villa's small yard, not only on his left and right legs but also on his knees, shoulders, head and other places. This will help stop the ball better on the ground. .
Busy days always pass very quickly. During Christmas, Wang Feng did not practice all the time but went into the city to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere with everyone and enjoy seafood in Ostend. The newly caught seafood was so delicious that even Vuong Phong couldn't help but eat a little more, and could only rely on more training to make up for the problem caused by his greedy mouth.
