Chapter 43

In round 11 of the competition, Genk faced Muskron at home. In this match, the home team tried their best to win.

Before the match, in the away team's locker room, the Muscron players who had just returned from their pre-match training session on the field were sitting on chairs in front of the lockers, looking at the gray-haired coach in front of them.

Ward Orr smiled at them and said, "Guys, don't worry too much. Just relax. frown. Since the beginning of this season, Muscron's performance has also been spectacular. They are currently ranked 6th in the rankings and are expected to win a spot in the Europa League. It is a young team that has a very strong impact on the field.

In the last 10 rounds, they won 6, thanks to the fighting strength and desire to win of young players.

"Henk's strength is indeed very strong, but we don't have absolutely no chance of winning." » Orr said. Many players agreed. Genk struggled a lot last season and many of their key players left the team this season. Despite borrowing many talents from major tournaments, breaking in is still a problem.

"Genk's squad depth is really insufficient and there is no way to maintain a two-line formation. That's why they rotated in the last round and lost to Standard Liege. Although the main force has returned in this round, the status is still difficult to guarantee. " Ward-Orr offered cleverly constructed words of encouragement.

Ward Orr is a former League One manager. His playing career was mediocre. He soon retired and began his coaching career as an assistant coach. Lead the team to achieve commendable results. Last season during the exciting relegation of Muscron, the previous coach was unfortunately expelled from the class, Ward Orr took over and took over as coach. The team's leadership appreciates its rich coaching experience and ability to guide the players out of the darkness of last season's defeat.

"Genk's biggest killer is their striker Wang Feng. We played against him last season. I watched his latest match videos. His skills seem to have improved further. We need to be more careful. »

Speaking of this, Orr looked at Muskron defender Keir Dougherty: "I need you to keep an eye on Vuong Phong, so he can't take advantage of his speed and breakthrough. This is your sole duty."

"No matter what, Vuong Phong is still a 17-year-old Asian teenager, face him and fully utilize your physical advantages."

Keir Dougherty nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll make him suffer."

"The midfielder and centre-back must coordinate with Doherty's defense on the left, resolutely combining in key moments. No matter what, this match must freeze Wang Feng for me, and I cannot give him the slightest chance."

"Believe me, as long as Vuong Phong freezes, Henk is a paper tiger, we will definitely get three points."

At the beginning of the match, as usual, Henk relied on Wang Feng to organize the front line attack. In this match, head coach Aimee Antonis still used the 4-4-2 formation.

Last season, Genk mainly used a 4-3-3 formation, while Wang Feng played more as a winger. This season, due to the lack of attack, he switched to a 4-2-2 formation. Fixed, but since he's right-handed he's mostly on the right side.

Dougherty has always protected Vuong Phong closely, regardless of whether he has the ball in his hands or not, he wants to use his physical strength to suppress Vuong Phong. But things don't seem as simple as he imagined. In the 4th minute, after Bass in the middle passed the ball to Wang Feng on the right, Doherty tightened his grip and still made a few small movements with his hands, trying to make Wang Feng lose his balance. Lost the ball.

But Wang Feng's lower limbs were very strong, his body remained still, he protected the ball firmly and swung his left leg back, then turned back while leaning on Doherty, and when he turned towards the goal, he quickly began to receive the ball. escape defense.

Next, Vuong Phong held the ball and dribbled to the right. Dougherty could only catch up, but the difference in speed made them farther and farther apart, and they quickly reached a position. So, Wang Feng passed the ball easily but unfortunately Barry, who was following closely in the penalty area, missed the goal and the ball went a little wide of the post.

Doherty held his breath as he looked at Vuong Phong, an unbelievable look appeared in his eyes, this kid looked very thin, how could he have such strong physical resistance.

What he didn't know was that due to Vuong Phong's persistent practice, his physical strength and endurance had improved a lot. At the same time, he had very sharp senses, knowing which parts of his body needed Exercising a lot of strength can give him an advantage in confrontations. .

Doherty gritted his teeth, but still, he didn't believe he could resist a child.

Another Genk attack, Wang Feng dropped back to midfield to get the ball, he dribbled it forward. Keir Dougherty observed the positions of the other defensive players on his side, they all made sense, so he played a double position and stepped forward to force Vuong Phong.

I thought Vuong Phong would slow down, but I didn't expect him to turn directly towards him, his left toe swinging the ball a little to the left.

But after Vuong Phong slid the ball with his left foot, he switched the ball to his right foot, then pushed the ball with his right foot, breaking through the defense to the side. This is the ball frying technique.

Doherty was startled and forced to twist his body to compensate for the mistake ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but unexpectedly, his left leg staggered, lost his balance and fell straight to the ground. "Watching this time, Vuong Phong held the ball and faced the defense. He was so fast that he overtook the opponent in a split second. The defensive player made the wrong move, lost his balance and rushed 'in front of the penalty area, hitting the target. pepper!'

"gooooooooooooooal, the goal has been scored! 11 minutes into the match, Genk opened the scoring for the opponent."

"Vuong Phong kicked and suddenly hit the goal near the top of the arc in the penalty area. The ball was very strong and tended to fall into the air. The goalkeeper had no time to react."

"Let's watch the match again. Wang Feng dribbled the ball beautifully. With a standard ball, he easily overcomes the defense. Before the other defensive players could block him, he decisively hit a world wave.

Keir Dougherty sat on the ground helplessly watching Vuong Phong gallop away to celebrate on the sidelines. His stamina is very good and his footwork is not bad either. There was a sharp pain in my ankle.

After trying to take two steps, he realized he was injured and could only wave his hand out to ask for a replacement.

"We saw that the opponent's number 12 left-back Keir Dougherty was injured and asked for a replacement. Did Wang Feng get a sprain while shaking him? »

"We know that on the basketball court there are ankle destroyers. Can Vuong Phong on the football field also be called the ankle destroyer?

After some time in the game, Muskron had to use his first replacement quota, replacing Doherty. Their head coach Orr scratched his pale hair miserably. Who else can limit Vuong Phong? Wool fabric? Finally, he substituted the full-back and told him to fight with Vuong Phong as much as possible to drain his energy.
