Wang Feng actively cooperated with the team doctor's treatment. On the second day, the team doctor was surprised to find that Wang Feng's injuries were all healed. He checked repeatedly several times, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wang, your physical fitness is too strong. It usually takes a few days to heal a kick injury, but you recovered in one night."
After getting permission from the team doctor, Wang Feng started training with the team. Karl Bess came over and whispered, "Wang, you just recovered today, you shouldn't practice any more."
Wang Feng rolled his eyes: "No, the team doctor said that I have no problem, you come with me, I will practice passing the ball."
Bess smiled wryly and nodded. Caspar Blanche at the side saw Wang Feng and Bess talking and laughing, so he couldn't help being a little curious, and came up to hear what the two were talking about. After learning that they practiced together, Blanche said without hesitation that he would be included.
So whenever the training is over, these people start their own extra training. They first practice the skills they want to improve, and then they practice receiving the pass together. Occasionally, they will have a one-on-two, usually Wang Feng against the two other. Breaking through the line of defense formed by Blanche and Bess was relatively easy for Wang Feng, but it was a heavy blow for the other two.
The tacit understanding between the three of them on the court has gradually developed, and they have become more and more handy in receiving passes. The head coach will occasionally observe them from the window sill in the office. The football enthusiasm driven by Wang Feng seems to be subtly infecting the other players.
Of course, Wang Feng's life is gradually no longer just football, they will occasionally go to the bar to play, but Wang Feng never drinks, not only because he is not old enough, but also because he wants to keep his body in good condition.
Blanche is a flirtatious person, he often hooks up with girls in bars, and because of its proximity to the Netherlands, the Belgian atmosphere is also very open. Blanche often teases Wang Feng to get him out of the ranks of virgins as soon as possible, but Wang Feng is very shy and doesn't want to think about it yet.
But what is surprising is that Bess is obviously a standard Belgian guy, but he is not very interested in picking up girls. He concentrates a lot of energy on playing games. PS1, Famicom, N64, and GBC are all available at his home, and he has a lot of games. Wang Feng will occasionally play King of Fighters and FIFA with him.
After the national team break in February, Genk are at home to rivals Standard Liege. Fortunately, many of the main players in the Standard Liege team are running between the national team and the club, so their condition must be relatively poor, while only a few players in Genk are like this.
"Hi everyone, the next live broadcast is the match between Genk and Standard Liege. This is also one of the highlights of this round of the league. We can see that Genk has a formation of 433, and the teenager Wang Feng is still starting. His recent state can only be described as fiery, under his leadership, can Genk achieve the next goal?"
"Standard Liege has a 442 formation, and the head coach has adjusted some starting players. It seems that the national team's game has more or less affected their state."
"The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins."
"...We looked at this opportunity. Karl Beth held the ball and had no chance to pass it back. Ah... No, there is someone, it is Wang Feng, he is like flying, successfully reversed offside, and caught the ball!"
"Number 9 Hank Brandon also quickly followed up, forming a one-on-one on the wing, let's see how Wang Feng handles the ball... beautiful! Continuously dribbling past the defensive player, crossing the ball , there is no one there, no wait, there is Caspar Blanche, goooooooooooooal!"
"The ball went in! At the front of the penalty area, Blanche suddenly went in and shot angrily at the ball. The goalkeeper can only look at the ball and sigh."
"Let's look at the slow-motion replay. Wang Feng's dribble from the side is very exciting, and then he crosses the middle. The ball rolls against the turf. When it enters the small penalty area, it rolls through a clear arc, so the defender can't block it. He passed the ball and it just stopped at the feet of Blanche who quickly plugged in."
"The position of the ball is very comfortable. Blanche only needs to kick the ball straight to send the ball into the goal. Wang Feng's pass was perfect."
"...Look at Genk's offense again, the continuous inversion in the middle, transfer to the wing, Wang Feng took the ball, kicked it, crossed it, Caspar Blanche went forward heading the ball towards the goal, Adrian Gael is unguarded, goooooooooooooooooal, the first half is not over yet, Genk is already leading 2:0!"
"This time it was Wang Feng's support from the wing again. As you can see, the quality of his cross was very high. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, as if seeking Blanche's head."
"But Blanche didn't hit the goal directly. He attracted the attention of the defense in front of the goal and flew the header to the unguarded Gael. Standard Liege's defense had a big problem this time."
"...We saw that some players were warming up on the sidelines. It seems that the head coach of Genk is going to make a substitution adjustment. Okay, we saw that the number 32 was replaced by Edward Davis."
"In the 74th minute, Wang Feng, the hero of the game, was replaced. Although he didn't score a goal, he contributed an assist and an offensive plan, helping Genk lead Standard Liege by two goals."
"We can see that the fans of the home team stood up and applauded Wang Feng, and Wang Feng also applauded everyone in response."
In the end, the score of 2:0 was also maintained until the end. Genk won the key game. After this campaign, their ranking has risen to the 8th place, which is one step closer to the goal of the Europa League seat.
...
In the early morning of the second day after the game, the sky was not completely bright yet. Wang Feng had already washed up and was ready to go out. He planned to go to the training ground for extra training as usual. He didn't return home until it was completely dark.
When he walked to the residence, an SUV was parked at the entrance of the corridor, and Caspar Blanche leaned against the door.
After seeing Wang Feng, he smiled and said: "When I came here, I saw that you were not here, so I knew you were going to practice. Come on, let's go and have fun together. You can't always train, it will generate tiredness"
Seeing Wang Feng's hesitant eyes, Blanche said: "Don't hesitate, don't you still need us to be your training partner? Hurry up, or I won't practice passing with you."
Wang Feng laughed dumbfoundedly, and said, "Okay then, let's call Bess together, this guy must be staying at home."
So the two came to the door of Bess's house, Blanche knocked on the door frantically, and the door soon opened. Bess said with a look of disgust: "Can't you knock on the door softly, what's the matter?"
Blanche told Bess about the party, and Bess said helplessly: "I don't want to go, it's better to play games at home." Wang Feng and Blanche glanced at each other, and they stared at Bess knowingly then took him up by force.
