King of World Football: Chapter 62 :trust
The second round of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 was held at the Luminus Arena as scheduled. Schalke 04 must win, or draw and achieve more than two goal difference, so they can be said to be a last stand.
Only 6 minutes into the game, Henk formed an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. Jason Aldridge knocked back to Gareth Barry in front of the penalty area after receiving the ball from the left. Barry pretended to hit the goal and tricked the defender. After falling to the ground, he pushed with his right foot to Karl Bess in the middle.
Bess did not stop the ball, but followed the ball to the right, and the ball flew over the defender's head and came into the penalty area. Wang Feng, who had been in ambush for a long time, volleyed directly against the falling ball, piercing through the goal of the visiting team.
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng rushed to the stands. He was greeted by cheers from the fans. The Luminus Arena, which can accommodate 25,000 people, was full of seats. At this moment, it was boiling like boiling water.
This goal was a huge blow to Schalke 04. In the next 30 minutes, they failed to organize an attack. The head coach Herbert Vysok rarely used it in the first half. Two substitutions were made, but the situation on the field still did not improve.
In the 43rd minute, Henk Barry was pulled down by the opponent while holding the ball in the frontcourt. The referee awarded a free kick and Wang Feng decided to take the penalty. With continuous practice, he feels that his free kick skills have been greatly improved and can be used as a conventional weapon.
Hearing a "bang", Wang Feng kicked the ball out with the back of his right foot. The ball drew a circular arc in the air, bypassed the left side of the wall, and then turned a corner and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. , very similar to Beckham's famous skill "Full Moon Scimitar".
The goalkeeper of Schalke 04 rushed the ball in a hurry, but in the end he just threw it in the right direction without touching the ball, and the ball flew into the goal against the post.
2:0! Wang Feng scored twice! At this time the total score has come to 4:2, Genk has achieved an absolute advantage.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Wang Feng was substituted, and Genk took a defensive stance to consolidate the lead. Schalke 04 had to rely on Emile Mpenza to get back a goal in the 85th minute, but it was too late.
Genk successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, tying the best record in team history! With 11 goals, Wang Feng also ranked first in the Europa League scorer list.
.........
In the last game of the two-week four-game match, in the 27th round of the Ligue 1, Genk played against Standard Liege. In this game, Aimee Antonis adopted a rotation lineup, and Wang Feng and some other main players were put on the bench.
Although the current lead over Anderlecht is only three points, the continuous high-intensity combat has made it difficult for the players to cope, so after careful consideration, Antonis still resolutely decided to rotate.
But looking at the big 0:1 on the scoreboard, Antonis was still extremely anxious. Earlier, the match between Anderlecht and Segra Brugge had ended, and they beat their opponents 5:0. If this If Genk loses the game, they will give up the first place in the league due to the disadvantage of goal difference.
At this time, the situation on the field is still extremely dangerous for Genk, both offensive and defensive ends are very bad. Fortunately, the goalkeeper performed bravely and failed to make the gap further widen.
Antonis looked back at Wang Feng who was sitting on the bench, and Wang Feng happened to look over at this moment. Looking at each other, Antonis saw the firmness and confidence in Wang Feng's eyes, as if saying: "Let me play, leave it to me."
So Antonis gave Wang Feng full trust. In the 71st minute, Wang Feng was replaced.
Seven minutes later, Wang Feng received the ball with his back on the right. He picked it up with his toes, and the ball passed over the defender's head behind him. Wang Feng also took the opportunity to get rid of it.
When he dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, facing the interception of two defensive players in the penalty area, Wang Feng dribbled the ball horizontally along the sideline of the penalty area to the left, using his speed to create a gap, and then kicked the goal without hesitation.
The ball rolled out a slanted line on the ground and went to the lower right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper of Standard Liege fell to the ground to catch the ball, but because the ball bounced on the ground with a jump, it was directly refracted from his saving arm into the net.
1:1! Genk equalized the score, and Wang Feng never disappointed the fans!
This score was also maintained until the end, Genk struggled to score 1 point, and continued to overwhelm Anderlecht with this one-point advantage.
.........
Finally, a devilish schedule is over, and all the soldiers in Henk breathed a sigh of relief, and the team ushered in the long-lost two-day holiday.
Wang Feng consumes a lot of physical energy, so the extra exercises are mainly restorative, and physical exercises are canceled. Both Bess and Chivu were unwilling to come to the training ground in advance, so Wang Feng practiced holding the ball alone again.
Put up a row of wooden dummies in the frontcourt, and Wang Feng used them to practice positioning the ball. Left, middle and right, 20 meters to 30 meters, Wang Feng tried every different position.
Through his keen senses, he corrected the length of his run-up, UU reading www.uukanshu. The kicking part, the posture of the body, the strength of the force, etc., the kicked ball drew one after another strange arcs in the air, some hit the wooden dummy, and some were kicked away.
As the number of practice times increased, the number of times the ball entered the goal also increased, but still failed to achieve all hits. Wang Feng had a clear realization that even if every kick in the same position is guaranteed to be played in exactly the same way, due to changes in environmental conditions, it is still possible to hit or miss.
No wonder the set piece is as strong as Beckham, and it can't be said that it is used as a conventional offensive weapon, but only occasionally has amazing performances. The reason why Wang Feng's set ball hit rate is so high so far is because of the small number of penalties.
However, Wang Feng has unparalleled perception, so he can roughly grasp the best way to set the ball in each position through practice, and normalize this offensive method. Just imagine, a forward who is very threatening within 30 meters of the penalty area , I didn't dare to easily foul and give him a set kick, what a terrible thing this is.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Feng came back to his senses and continued his practice. On the training ground, only the sound of "bang", "bang", "bang" kicking the ball was heard.
After a day of practice, Wang Feng took a shower in the club before leaving as usual. When he left, he took a copy of Sofia Levski's player information, which the club had just collected.
Sofia Levski is Genk's opponent in the top 8 of the Europa League. It is one of the most famous football clubs in Bulgaria. The team's best result is also in the top 8 of the Europa League, so the overall strength is not very strong. It is said that one was drawn.
While rejoicing, the top management of the club also urgently collected the opponent's information and provided it to the coaching staff to arrange tactics. The whole team hoped to surpass this opponent and create a new history.
