Chapter 57

After the home match against Slavia Praha, day 23 of the championship, Genk will face newly promoted Zultvarechem. Genk coaches discussed this match and decided to rotate some key players. , to prepare for the next away match against Slavia Praha.

Vuong Phong is naturally within the rotation range. He wasn't even in the team for this match so he rested in peace. The good news is that Genk still defeated their opponent with a score of 1-0.

At the same time, Anderlecht and Bruges fell into the shadow of defeat in the European war, affecting the championship's performance. Anderlecht drew Lokeren in this round and Bruges lost 0:2. In Beveren.

Thus, the gap between Genk and second-place team Anderlecht has widened to 7 points, the championship form is very good. .....

Soon, the second round of the top 32 Europa League will come, Genk will go to the Czech Republic to challenge their opponents.

Genk, who already had two goals in hand, held steady, while Slavia Praha, forced into a deadlock, attacked with all their might and took the lead.

Time passed minute by minute, the home team players became more and more impatient, their hands moved more and more. In the 36th minute of the first half, Slavia Praha received a corner kick and midfielder Claude Savin scored the goal. When he went forward to score, it was suspected that he used his hand to hit the ball into the goal.

Through slow-motion replay, we can see the ball hit the area below Savin's shoulder and he made an audible hand raise and shoulder shrug.

"It was definitely a handball, but when the on-duty referee gave the goal, you could see the Genk players surrounding the referee and trying to figure out what."

"The referee ignored Henk's judgment. He gave Genk captain Aaron Abigail a yellow card and warned them to disperse and continue the match. You can see Henk's captain looked incredulous... ...."

Vuong Phong did not approach the referee to judge, because he knew that if he stepped forward, he might receive a yellow card, because the home game still had certain advantages.

He was a little worried. Genk players are currently holding their breath at the home team's petty actions and the referee's overkill. If handled incorrectly, they risk being disqualified for overtaking.

"Just scoring one more away goal, Slavia Praha will have to score three more goals to come back." Vuong Phong silently calculated in his heart. During extra time of the first half, Gareth Barry broke through from the left wing and lobbed the ball into the penalty area. Vuong Phong stood at the edge of the penalty area and used his back to clear the ball.

Behind him, midfielder Slavia Praha continuously interfered with Vuong Phong's feet, and at the same time placed his hands on Vuong Phong's waist to strongly support her. Vuong Phong Phuc caught the ball in his lap, kicked the ball with his right heel and quickly turned around.

Because the defensive midfielder was fighting with Vuong Phong, his legs were spread wide, the ball just passed through his groin, Vuong Phong also passed him. Vuong Phong stood in front of the penalty area to catch the ball and shoot. The goalkeeper was caught off guard and could only stand and watch the ball fly into the net.

"The ball went into the net, gooooooooooooooooo! It was Vuong Phong who stood up. He seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He hit the ball with his heel very imaginatively and escaped the defense."

"In this way, the score between the two teams is 1:1. Genk rewrote the final score to 3:1 and scored a valuable away goal. Slavia Praha is on the verge of being eliminated."

When the first half ended, the atmosphere in the Genk dressing room became more comfortable. Everyone was talking about the terrible penalty in the first half and Abigail's yellow card. Coach Aimée Antonis clapped her hands and said: "Guys, we are ahead. Everything is clear, everyone stop provoking the referee and opponents, our mission is to keep the victory."

Everyone nodded. After an easy secondary battle, Slavia Praha's action became more intense. In the 63rd minute, Genk defender Maxime Dubke fell to the ground, holding his leg in pain. , the referee only awards one fixed piece.

Genk captain Abigail angrily scolded the referee: "It was an intentional foul, take out the card!" The referee showed a yellow card but pointed at Abigail, two yellows turned into one red, Abigail Gale was sent off the field.

Dubuc was also replaced because he could not continue playing and the situation became unfavorable for Genk. In the 67th minute, Genk, who were fighting with fewer men, were successfully attacked by Slavia Praha. Striker Devin Hull scored the goal. Just 5 minutes later, the home team came back and took advantage of a corner kick to rewrite the score to 3:1, with a total draw of 3:3, Genk only kept the goal advantage on the outside.

In the 75th minute, Vuong Phong took the opportunity to counterattack, flying more than 50 meters from the backyard to reach an area 25 meters away from the opponent's penalty area and was violently uprooted by the defender behind him.

This foot completely followed his ankle, causing Vuong Phong to painfully grab his left heel after falling to the ground. Carl Beth, who was behind him, saw all this and was very angry. He rushed to protect his opponent. The player pushed down and shouted: "You bastard ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ The defending player fell to the ground, and the players on both sides angrily faced each other. The referee ran in time and prevented the conflict from spreading further. The reserve players and coaching staff took turns entering the field and controlling the players on both sides. After everyone calmed down, the referee showed defender Slavia Praha a yellow card but a red card for Beth. Some teammates wanted to surround the referee to discuss but were stopped by other players. Beth cursed silently. , had to go to the dressing room.

Wang Feng is being treated on the spot and the situation is not very optimistic. Head coach Antonis came to ask about the situation with concern. The team doctor said: "He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately for treatment. Please replace him."

Although Vuong Phong felt intense pain, the surrounding wound was also a bit cold. He knew it must be due to his own self-healing ability. Genk currently only has 9 players on the field. Facing an 11-man opponent, he will likely encounter a shocking comeback.

So he tried to stand up and said: "Coach, let me take this free kick and then let me go." The team doctor immediately said: "No, you are so seriously injured that you can barely walk. If I knew I had a broken bone, I definitely wouldn't be able to practice anymore."

Vuong Phong looked at Antonis with determined eyes. Antonius questioned him for a long time before helplessly saying: "Why did you do that?" We still have the advantage so there is no need to use our careers to compete.

Vuong Phong shook his head and said: "I'm still confident in my body. I just don't want to waste my effort. If this continues and my opponent backs down, I will regret it for the rest of my life. »

In his heart, he knew very well that his career would not be affected in any way and that his wound would heal soon, but in the eyes of others, this spirit of fighting to the death moved them.
