Chapter 70

Beveren, East Flanders, Belgium, Stade Fretier, where round 33 of Ligue 1 took place, Beveren met Genk.

For Genk, this match is very important because it depends on whether the team can win the championship one round early or not. Previously in this meeting, Anderlecht had to taste their fourth defeat of the season. Losing 1:2 to Bill Short, Genk still leads by two points despite missing one round. Because Genk's goal difference has an advantage, meaning that as long as Genk draws with their opponents in this match, they can win the 00-01 season league championship! This way, they can leave the last leg of the match behind and focus on preparing for the Europa League final.

But if they cannot defeat their opponents, they will face the disadvantageous situation of a doubles final taking place in a week's time. Not all Genk players and fans wanted to witness such a scene, even the majority of Belgian media did not approve of holding such a match.

Because Belgium has not reached the Europa League final for many years, the last time Anderlecht won the Europa League was in the 1982-1983 season.

They even asked the Football Association to reschedule the final match if Genk did not win the championship sooner than expected, so that Genk could fully prepare for the UEFA Cup. Senior leadership at the Football Association is understood to be studying the feasibility of the plan.

For most people, if Genk could win the title quickly that would be the best result, but Anderlecht players and fans clearly don't think so. They were now watching the match anxiously and prayerfully. With the defeat against Genk, they left behind hope of a comeback.

The Beveren players on the field obviously did not want to release the water. Even though they were not under pressure to compete, they still competed with all their might and sportsmanship. Threatening to commit a crime.

However, the skills of Genk players are clearly better, gradually taking the initiative on the field. In the 23rd minute, Genk launched a quick counterattack. Christian Chivu in the backfield threw the ball high into the middle of the field. Karl Bass could not catch the ball due to the interference of the defensive players, so he took advantage of the situation to advance, then struggled to escape the defense. After catching the ball, another pass was passed to Gareth Barry in front yard. After receiving the ball, Barry quickly passed the ball to the right defense. Wang Feng caught the ball near the baseline.

Jason Aldridge, who was placed in the back row, had timing problems and couldn't score the best score, so he quickly used his wits and kicked the flower-armored ball. The ball rolled straight to the farthest point of the goal and goalkeeper Beveren was hit. One of them was caught off guard and could only watch the ball fly into the net. 1:0, Genk leads! The tournament championship trophy seems to be getting closer and closer to them.

The first half of the match ended with Genk leading by 1 goal. The players in the dressing room talked and laughed, not depressed like the last match with Liverpool. Aldridge even suggested we celebrate with champagne first.

After hearing this, Vuong Phong immediately stopped. Although he didn't know why, he had a hunch somewhere that opening champagne in advance to celebrate was not a good omen. Captain Aaron Abigail also stood up and said: "Everyone, we have reached the corner of the championship trophy, but football is a circle, everything can change and there are still 45 minutes of challenges waiting for us." we".

"We don't have the right to be unrestrained yet. After this match ends, you can celebrate as you please, but now is not the time." Abigail is usually very imposing in the team so everyone listens to him and cheers to welcome him. Second half of the match.

After switching sides, Beveren still proved to be very tenacious, but the Genk players were united and unanimously determined to win the match, so they still had the advantage.

Time passed little by little, Anderlecht players and fans watched on TV and their hearts gradually sank. This feeling of giving hope to the other person, but being slowly taken away by the other person, is really very uncomfortable.

In the 78th minute, Barry passed the ball to Aldridge on the left wing. After Aldridge put the ball into the box, he made a few wrong moves and failed to shake the defender so he passed to Bess, who was also on the edge of the box.

Beth didn't block the ball at all, but directly tiptoed to bring the ball to the middle. Vuong Phong turned his back to the goal, raised his right leg and directly attacked the goal with an upside-down golden hook. "Bass passed the ball into the middle and hit the goal! The goal went in, goooooooooooooal! So beautiful. In the 78th minute, Wang Feng used a beautiful reverse golden hook to seal the victory for Genk."

"This is the 40th goal that Wang Feng scored this season. He has scored 40 goals in 33 rounds in the league, 6 goals more than second-placed Jan Koller. He almost won the Boot League gold this season. Let us congratulate you." back to Vuong Phong.

"At the same time, Wang Feng also broke the record for scoring goals in a season in the history of the tournament and the record for the youngest Golden Boot player in the tournament. I think this record will last for a long time."

"It is worth mentioning that Wang Feng also contributed 12 assists this season~www.mtlnovel.com~ ranking fifth on the assist list, which is more than 2/3 of the goals Genk's victory is all related to Wang Feng, Genk can win the championship this season, Wang Feng has contributed a lot."

Wang Feng's brave performance also won the respect of the home team's fans. When Wang Feng celebrated the goal, many Beveren fans stood up to applaud this young but sexy player.

If he can bring home a UEFA trophy to Ligue 1 then it will be the glory of all Belgian fans, so now they are very hopeful that Wang Feng can also maintain this aggressive state on stage of the Europa League final.

This defeat also completely crushed Anderlecht's dream of defending the title. Many fans burst into tears at home. Jan Koller stared at the energetic teenager on television, thinking about his oratory last year.

"Next time I will definitely not lose", it turns out that not only next time, every time he did not think, he will not lose. "Even taking away my last glory in Bijia, you are truly a greedy person." Jan Kole thought to himself.

However, it also inspired his fighting spirit. No matter where Vuong Phong goes in the future, he will always be in the top five tournaments. I couldn't be too far behind him. This 28-year-old "veteran" seems to have found a second spring.

When the final whistle sounded, Beveren players proactively shook hands with Genk players to congratulate, because Genk did not celebrate at the away match but Aldridge's desire to put champagne in the dressing room happened. After scoring the goal, the team staff went to a nearby supermarket to buy a few bottles.

Of course, the person who needs to be taken care of is Vuong Phong. He did not get a bottle but was taken away by other group members, who even stared and sprayed him, making him dizzy.

Everyone struggled for a while, took a shower and then hurried back to Genk at night.
