MTL - King of World Football-Chapter 42 : First Europa League win

After more than ten hours of running around, Genk finally arrived in Israel. The players were all sluggish, but the rest time was very short, and the game will be played tomorrow.

It was also the first time for Wang Feng to experience this kind of experience. He felt that he was very tired, so he even canceled the extra training, and recovered his physical strength by getting more sleep.

On the second day, at the Hamoshawa Stadium, the Israeli football market was not very good, and there were only sporadic spectators in the stands. The game was scheduled for the afternoon, and the weather in Israel in October was still very hot, and the players in Genk looked listless.

Maccabi Petah Tikva took advantage of this opportunity and launched a rush attack at the beginning. Genk made a mistake in the backcourt, and the home team forward intercepted the ball and sent it into the goal.

The sudden conceded goal was like a blow to the head, and instantly woke up the Genk players on the field. This game was a game they had to win to advance, so they quickly made adjustments to gradually stabilize the situation.

In the 11th minute, Wang Feng made a breakthrough cross after receiving the ball from the right. Gareth Barry headed the ball in the middle. Maccabi Tatikwa's keeper did a great job saving the ball over the line.

The subsequent corner kick was also taken by Wang Feng. He accurately found Christian Chivu in the penalty area. Chivu jumped high and headed the goal, but it missed the crossbar slightly.

With two consecutive threatening attacks, Genk played more calmly. Their overall strength is already stronger than the opponent, and many players are full of confidence. The goal conceded under carelessness should be recovered quickly, because they There is Wang Feng, the best shooter in the game.

In the 31st minute, Henk hit the wall. After Barry passed the pass to Wang Feng at the front of the penalty area, he blocked the follow-up player, resulting in a gap. Wang Feng was keenly aware of this and directly hit the goal with his right foot.

"Wang Feng took the ball, let's see how he handles it, and hit the goal! Goooooooooooooooal, the goal is scored! In the 31st minute, Genk equalized the score."

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. Wang Feng's ground ball seemed harmless, but it was actually very powerful. The ball bounced slightly up and down on the lawn."

"The goalkeeper of Petah Tikwa Maccabi was careless. He wanted to save the ball with one hand, but he was already in the state of being bounced. After hitting his hand, the castration continued and it bounced directly into the net."

After scoring the goal, Wang Feng didn't celebrate either. Instead, he took out the ball and planned to continue attacking. He didn't want to get a draw.

The second goal came quickly, just five minutes later, Henke made a steal from the backcourt, Chivu passed to Bass in the midfield, Bass dribbled the ball forward, saw Wang Feng standing near the top of the arc, and rolled with one kick The ball passed the ball.

Wang Feng received the ball with his back. At this time, the defensive players in the penalty area rushed forward to press the ball. Immediately, he flicked the ball back with his right toe. The ball jumped high and passed the defensive players behind him.

At the same time, Wang Feng also quickly turned around and passed the defender. Maccabi Petah Tikva's defenders had no time to stop him, and wanted to reach out to grab Wang Feng, but thought that he had already entered the penalty area, so he hesitated.

The moment the defensive player hesitated, Wang Feng had already caught up with the ball and formed a single goal. Facing the goalkeeper who wanted to pounce, he easily pushed the corner and succeeded.

2:1! Genk reversed the score!

Wang Feng, who scored twice, ran out of the field excitedly, and ran around the stands with his hands pointing at the sky. Now he can finally celebrate his goal without thinking about it. The other team members followed closely behind. They stopped Wang Feng and hugged each other to celebrate.

The goal was so wonderful that even some home team fans in the stands applauded him.

In the second half of the game, Genk did not give the home team another chance. In the 73rd minute, Barry assisted Aldridge to make another victory. The score of 3:1 was also maintained until the end. Genk won the Europa League for the first time!

On the plane back to Genk, Belgium, everyone was talking and laughing about the just-concluded game. Being able to win as expected was the first step towards success.

Wang Feng didn't participate, he was really not used to such a long trip, so he fell asleep.

It was already late at night when we returned to Genk. On the second day, Wang Feng resisted the feeling of fatigue and came to the training ground early in the morning to do restorative training. He needs to adapt to this long-distance running situation as soon as possible, so as not to affect his state.

Then Zhao Haiyang asked again: "You have scored 12 goals in 10 rounds in the league, ranking first in the scorer list. What makes you have such a terrifying attack power?"
