章 16: Chapter 16
As time passed, the tacit understanding between Vuong Phong and his teammates on the training field became increasingly stronger. After a period of intensive practice, his passing ability also improved a lot.
Because Vuong Phong had not officially registered, he could not participate in the tournament in December but still traveled as a member of the team. In the stands, he watched Genk draw 1:1 with Liers at home, draw 0:0 away from Charleroi and lose 0:4 at home to Segra Brugge.
This made his whole body suffocate with fire, and he couldn't wait to play right away. Two draws and a defeat also angered head coach Aimee Anthonys. In the dressing room, he strongly criticized the enthusiasm of the players on the field: "I don't see your determination to win. If this situation continues, we will play in the Europa League. The goal is unmatched." The enemy is definitely gone!"
To recover during the second half of the championship, Antonis shortened his winter break and was given three extra days to practice before and after the break. The players complained a bit but they couldn't resist. Vuong Phong thinks that this is better. He hopes to practice more to improve, but rationally he does not voice this idea, he is afraid of angering public opinion.
During this time, he and Carl Beth became good friends. They are young people who live next to each other so they often go to the training ground together, sometimes Beth stays to practice with Vuong Phong.
Beth's personality is similar to Wang Feng's, he doesn't like unnecessary entertainment, except for practice matches, he just stays at home and watches TV, but he will return to his hometown Antwerp for Christmas. born.
Most of Genk's players are Belgian, but there are also some French and Dutch players. They will return home or travel during winter break. Only Vuong Phong is still in Genk. year.
It is worth mentioning that Vuong Phong bought himself a mobile phone, a small Nokia, and asked his family to buy one so he no longer had to wait for lengthy letters.
Normally, her mother would worry about the phone bill and wouldn't call her anymore, but when the new year came, she couldn't help but make a long phone call. Hearing the familiar voice of his family, Vuong Phong felt warm inside, and the loneliness in his heart gradually faded.
On the first day of the new year, the winter break transfer window opened as scheduled, Genk immediately registered Wang Feng, allowing him to represent Genk in the match.
Vuong Phong did not wait long, Vuong Phong immediately opened the curtain. The first match of the new year, a 16-8 Belgian Cup match against Ghent, head coach Aimee Antonis made Wang Feng play!
Although his teammates didn't say anything, looking at their questioning eyes, Vuong Phong also understood their doubts. Right. He hasn't played a game in a month, but he's only started in one playoff game. The head coach's arrangement is indeed very daring. A little bit.
Aimee Antonis feels helpless. The Genk striker is constantly injured, weakening the attack. He had had enough so he decided to bet on Vuong Phong.
At 3 p.m. on January 12 of the millennium, the 25,000-capacity Henkrominus Arena was filled to capacity. Home team fans wear uniforms, wave banners of joy and chant the team's song Singing Henk. Even in the entire Belgian professional football league, the enthusiasm of Genk fans can rank first.
Along with other players, Vuong Phong exited the tunnel and saw this breathtaking scene. The fans roaring like mountains and tsunamis, the reporters holding long guns and short cannons on the side of the stadium, and the perfect grass under their feet, everything seemed to remind them of Wang Feng, this is really high-level professional competition, before that it was just a small quarrel.
When the referee blows the whistle, the match officially begins. After the opening match, Genk did not play well. The midfield was compressed by Ghent, the ability to connect with the striker was not enough, the ball was often blocked by the opponent.
On the field, Vuong Phong also seemed a bit uncomfortable. He touched the ball twice, but the defender relied on his athleticism to apply pressure, forcing him to pass the ball again, and once he was destroyed off the line.
Bi A's defense power was truly incomparable to Bi B's. Vuong Phong gasped as he thought, he was only sixteen years old, competing with adult players would be at a disadvantage.
Head coach Antonis frowned. He wondered if Vuong Phong was under too much pressure and would it be better for him to come on as a substitute? He loudly ordered the midfielders to hold the ball well and support the strikers.
Minute 13, Genk played a set ball from the backfield. Midfielder Carl Beth asked the opposing defender to jump strongly and make a header. Vuong Phong at the side quickly warmed up and chased the ball. The opponent's defensive position was relatively close, so he hurriedly chased after, but Vuong Phong was faster and hit the ball first. But at this time the defensive player blocked the attack, Vuong Phong came up with an idea, used his right foot to hook the ball, the ball rolled behind him, he turned around to chase the ball, the defensive player of course followed.
At this moment, Vuong Phong suddenly stopped the ball, used his left foot to cushion the ball, easily avoiding the oncoming defender, then broke through from the outside.
For Wang Feng, the act of constantly changing direction seems to be engraved into his DNA, and he can do it completely unconsciously. The audience on the sidelines widened their eyes, feeling that Vuong Phong had passed the defender in the blink of an eye, rushing along the sidewalk toward the front yard.
Without waiting for other defensive players to approach, Wang Feng looked at striker Caspar Blanche who was following in the penalty area, imagining in his mind the feeling of finding a pass during practice, kicking a curve and passing the ball. Successfully jumped over the defender and found Blanche in the penalty area, but this time his header went a little over the crossbar.
Blanche shook her head regretfully and gave Wang Feng a thumbs up. UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com He never thought that Wang Feng's pass was so accurate, he was clearly eye-catching when he passed the ball in practice not long ago.
The defensive player who was destroyed by Vuong Phong also sweated. He looked at Vuong Phong fiercely, silently vowing in his heart to protect him until death. Therefore, in the following time, he followed Vuong Phong like a dog's skin. As a result, Vuong Phong did not have a good chance after receiving the ball and could only pass the ball.
So Vuong Phong quietly expanded his range of activities, enhancing his ability to run without the ball. His physical strength has always been good, he can run a little more, sooner or later he will wait for the opportunity.
Finally, in the 31st minute, Wang Feng ran out of space to receive the ball from the left wing. He quickly started and the opposing defender quickly moved forward to defend. The player must block. But he passed the ball with his right foot and then crossed it diagonally from inside to the edge of the penalty area.
This distance is enough to threaten the target. Some of the opponent's defenders came to help defend. At this time, Vuong Phong kicked the ball with his left foot, bringing the ball accurately to the feet of Caspar Blanche who was ambushing him at the edge of the small penalty area. .
The attention of the defensive players was attracted by Vuong Phong. Of course, Blanche will not miss this opportunity. He shot straight into the near corner. The goalkeeper misses and scores!
1:0! Henk took the lead.
After scoring the goal, Blanche jumped up and down with excitement. This goal ended his goal drought of seven consecutive matches. He excitedly ran to Vuong Phong's side, hugged him, and shouted loudly: "You see me, you see me!"
The other members of the group also gathered one by one and everyone formed a group to celebrate. Head coach Aimee Antonis also breathed a sigh of relief. He could feel that with Wang Feng on the field, Henk's attack, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be active again, which was incredible.
