In the 11th round of the competition, Genk played against Muskron at home. In this game, the home team tried their best to win.
Before the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, the Muscron players who just came back from the pre-match training on the field were sitting on the seats in front of the closet, looking up at the gray-haired coach in front of them.
Ward Orr looked at them with a smile and said, "Guys, don't be so nervous. Take it easy." frowning.
Since the start of this season, Muscron's performance has also been amazing. He is currently ranked sixth in the league and is expected to hit the Europa League seat. This is a young team with a very strong impact on the court.
In the past ten rounds, they have won six of them, relying on the fighting spirit and desire for victory of young players.
"Henk's strength is indeed very strong, but we are not completely without chance of winning." Orr said.
Many players nodded in agreement. Genk struggled a lot last season, and many of his main players have left the team this season. Although he has borrowed a lot of talents from major leagues, running-in is still a problem.
"The depth of Genk's lineup is seriously insufficient, and there is no way to support two-line combat at all. That's why they rotated in the last round and lost to Standard Liege. Although the main force returned in this round, the state is still difficult to guarantee." Ward -Orr speaks well-crafted words of encouragement.
Ward Orr is an old coach in League One. His player career was mediocre. He retired soon and started his coaching career as an assistant coach. Led the team to achieve commendable results.
Last season, Muscron's thrilling relegation, the former coach sadly dismissed get out of class, Ward Orr stepped in and took over the coach. The team management valued his rich coaching experience and his ability to guide players out of the shadow of last season's defeat.
"Genk's biggest killer is their striker Wang Feng. We have played against him last season. I have watched his recent game videos. His skills seem to have improved again. We have to be more cautious."
Speaking of this, Orr looked at Muskron defender Keir Dougherty, "I need you to keep an eye on Wang Feng so that he can't take advantage of his speed and breakthrough. This is your only task."
"In any case, Wang Feng is still a 17-year-old Asian, confront him and make full use of your physical advantages."
Keir Dougherty nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll make him suffer."
"The midfielder and central defender must cooperate with Doherty's defense on the left, and resolutely double-team at critical moments. No matter what, this game must freeze Wang Feng for me, and I cannot let him have the slightest chance on the left. .
"Believe me, as long as Wang Feng is frozen, Henk is a paper tiger, and we will definitely get three points."
At the beginning of the game, as usual, Henk relied on Wang Feng to organize the frontcourt attack. In this game, head coach Aimee Antonis still has a four-four-two formation.
Last season, Genk mainly used a four-three-three formation, and Wang Feng played more of a winger role. This season, due to the shortage of strikers, he switched to a four-two-two formation. Fixed, but since he is right-footed, he is mainly on the right.
Dougherty has been closely guarding Wang Feng, no matter whether he has the ball in his hands or not, he wants to use his physical fitness to suppress Wang Feng.
But things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined. In the 4th minute, after Bass in the middle passed the ball to Wang Feng on the right, Doherty squeezed up, and there were still some small movements in his hands, trying to force Wang Feng to lose his balance. Lose the ball.
But Wang Feng's lower limbs were very strong, his body remained motionless, he firmly protected the ball, and he swung back with his left foot, then turned around leaning on Doherty, and when he turned to the goal, he quickly started to get rid of the defense.
Then Wang Feng dribbled on the right side with the ball, and Dougherty could only catch up behind, but the difference in speed made them farther and farther apart, and they soon reached a position.
Therefore, Wang Feng was able to pass the ball easily, but unfortunately Barry, who was following up in the penalty area, missed the goal and the ball went slightly wide of the post.
Doherty looked at Wang Feng out of breath, his eyes were full of disbelief, this kid looked very thin, how could he be so strong in physical resistance.
What he doesn't know is that due to Wang Feng's persistent exercise, his physical fitness and stamina have greatly improved, and he has very keen senses, knowing which parts of the body to exert force can make him more advantageous in the confrontation .
Doherty gritted his teeth, even so, he didn't believe that he couldn't resist a brat.
Another attack by Genk, Wang Feng retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and he dribbled the ball forward. Keir Dougherty observed the positions of other defensive players on his side, and they were all reasonable, so he played a With the gesture of double-teaming, he stepped forward to force Wang Feng.
He originally thought that Wang Feng would slow down the speed, but he didn't expect him to come straight to himself, with his left toe tipping the ball a little to the left.
But after Wang Feng swiped the ball with his left foot, he moved the ball to his right foot, and then he pushed the ball with his right foot, breaking through the defense from the side. This is the deep fried ball technique.
Doherty was taken aback, and forcibly twisted his body to make up for the mistake~www.mtlnovel.com~ but unexpectedly, his left foot staggered, and he lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
"Let's see this time, Wang Feng took the ball to face the defense, so fast, he passed the opponent in an instant, the defensive player took a fake move, lost his balance, and reached the front of the penalty area, hit the goal!"
"goooooooooooooooal, the goal is scored! In the 11th minute of the game, Genk opened the opponent's goal."
"Wang Feng kicked up and hit the goal suddenly near the top of the arc in the penalty area. The ball was very powerful and had a tendency to fall in the air. The goalkeeper couldn't react."
"Let's take a look at the replay. Wang Feng dribbled the ball beautifully. With a standard fried ball, he easily got rid of the defense. Before other defensive players blocked him, he decisively hit a world wave."
Keir Dougherty sat on the ground and watched helplessly as Wang Feng galloped to celebrate on the sidelines. His physical fitness was so good and his foot skills were not bad. There was a sharp pain in the ankle.
After trying to take two steps, he found himself injured and could only greet the sidelines for a substitution.
"We can see that the opponent's No. 12 left back Keir Dougherty seems to be injured and is asking for a substitution. Did Wang Feng sprain it when he shook him?"
"We know that there are ankle terminators on the basketball court. Can Wang Feng also be called the ankle terminator on the football field?"
After a while in the game, Muskron had to use the first substitution quota, replacing Doherty. Their head coach Orr scratched his pale hair in distress. Who else could limit Wang Feng? Woolen cloth?
In the end, he replaced the full-back as a substitute, and told him to fight Wang Feng as much as possible to consume his energy.
