In the middle of the night at Gelsenkirchen International Airport in Germany, a plane has just landed. The Genk players got out of the plane tiredly. There is only one day left for them to rest and train. The Europa League round of 16 will be played the day after tomorrow. Held in the afternoon.

Wang Feng yawned. He seemed a little listless after he just recovered from his injury. At this moment, Gareth Barry came over and said, "Would you like some chewing gum to refresh you?"

Wang Feng took the chewing gum he handed over, threw it into his mouth, and complained while chewing: "This **** schedule, there are four games scheduled in two weeks, I'm afraid just thinking about it."

Barry nodded: "And they are all very crucial games. We can't afford to lose. If we lose in the Europa League knockout round, we may lose our top spot if we lose in the league."

Assistant coach Quick Martin came over at this time: "Let's play game by game. Our coaching staff will also observe your situation at any time for rotation. If you feel tired, you must tell us in time."

At the tactical meeting before the game, the head coach Aimee Antonis said: "In this round of the game, we lacked three main players, and we will definitely be very passive, but our goal is not to lose by a big score and try to score away goals. In this way, it will be better to play at home next time.

At the beginning of the game, the situation was as expected. Schalke 04 had an absolute advantage. In the 21st and 36th minutes, striker Emile Mpenza scored two goals. The Belgian Standard Liege player , transferred to the Bundesliga last year at a sky-high price of 8.5 million euros, and has performed very well in the league and the Europa League since this season.

Wang Feng was in trouble. Schalke 04's captain Tomas Vadoh defended him very tightly. Without the support of Bass in the middle, Wang Feng had fewer opportunities.

At the end of the first half, Wang Feng finally got a better chance. This time he retreated to the middle to receive the ball, then took the ball to the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Barry in the middle before the opponent's defensive player pressed.

After passing the ball, Wang Feng quickly rushed to the side. After receiving the ball, Barry took a distance, and suddenly kicked the ball to the back of the defender on the side. The front catches the ball.

After receiving the ball, Wang Feng ran towards the baseline while protecting the ball. Wadoh was pressing beside him. He suddenly stepped on the ball and made an emergency stop. pass the ball.

The ball flew to the back of the penalty area. Jason Aldridge headed the goal without any defense. Unfortunately, the angle was too right and was saved by the Schalke 04 goalkeeper. Then the defensive player kicked the ball out of the sideline .

Aldrich, who missed the opportunity, scratched his hair angrily, and shook his head to Wang Feng, indicating that it was his own problem.

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The Genk players walked into the locker room with their heads down, looking very decadent. So far this season, they felt the pressure of being crushed for the first time. It felt that even Wang Feng was not surprised.

The coaching staff discussed the situation and tactical arrangements in the first half, and it took a while to reach a consensus. The head coach Antonis came over and said: "Everyone cheer up, we are not ready to admit defeat yet."

He pointed to the tactical card and said: "In the first half, our midfield and frontcourt were out of touch, which made the offense unable to play a threat, and the defensive loopholes were also very large. Therefore, in the second half, we need to organize a more threatening offense and not let Schalke 04 came out with ease and threatened our goal."

He said to Wang Feng: "Wang, in the second half, I need you to retreat to the midfield to get the ball and play the role of central midfielder, just like you did at the end of the first half."

"Your position is not fixed, it can be in the middle or left and right. You can actively run to open up the defense. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely turn Schalke 04's defense upside down."

"Everything is up to you!"

Wang Feng nodded solemnly when he heard the words. At the beginning of this season, he would do this in some games, but as the cooperation between his teammates became more and more tacit, he waited more for the midfield pass. But now that the main force is absent and the midfield support is insufficient, he can only go back to his old business and play a guest role as an offensive organizer.

After changing sides and fighting again, Wadoh found it more difficult to mark Wang Feng. His range of activities is very wide, and his speed and explosive power are very strong. As a veteran, he is gradually exhausted.

In the 61st minute, Wang Feng took the ball directly to the side after receiving the ball in the middle. Wadoh failed to follow up in time due to a moment of ecstasy, so that Wang Feng went directly to the edge of the penalty area.

Three nearby defensive players quickly surrounded him to prevent him from further dribbling and passing. Wang Feng carefully protected the ball and moved forward slowly while waiting for his teammates to respond. When he saw the figure of Aldridge, he suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of the defender.

The defender was taken aback, and subconsciously stretched his leg to steal it, but he didn't expect Wang Feng to dunk the ball to the other side, avoiding the stretched leg, and then cut inside into the penalty area and passed the ball to the back point.

Aldridge, who was plugged in, seized this opportunity. He hit the goal directly with his right foot without stopping the ball, piercing through the ten fingers of the Schalke 04 goalkeeper.

After scoring the goal, Aldridge rushed to celebrate by kneeling near the football area, and then Wang Feng and other players who arrived also hugged him. The score was rewritten to 1:2, and Genk scored a valuable away goal.

Schalke 04 head coach Herbert Vysok looked ugly~www.mtlnovel.com~He couldn't sit still any longer and was going to make substitution adjustments, replacing the exhausted Wadoch with a young defender The players came to keep an eye on Wang Feng.

In the 79th minute, Henk made a counterattack from the backcourt, and Wang Feng was actively participating in the defense, so his position was relatively low. After Christian Chivu passed the ball to Wang Feng, Wang Feng dribbled the ball through the midfield himself.

At this time, Aldridge in front was accelerating, so Wang Feng sent a lob with his right foot. Aldridge was offside successfully and got the ball before the defender, but his explosive power was not so strong, so he took The moment he reached the ball, he was still entangled by the player returning to defense.

Wang Feng also ran forward after passing the ball. At this time, he was basically only one body behind Aldrich, so he crossed the middle. Wang Feng caught the ball with his left foot and kept going. foot, and then dribble the ball to the left of the defender.

When Wang Feng entered the penalty area, there was only one defender standing in front of him. Wang Feng moved the ball to his right foot and made a gesture to hit the goal. The ball hits the left foot.

The defensive player barely restrained himself, and then blocked Wang Feng's left side. As a result, Wang Feng just made a fake goal and shifted the ball to his right foot. This time, the defensive player could no longer maintain his center of gravity and was knocked down on the ground.

Wang Feng hit the goal, and the ball flew into the goal along the post. The Schalke 04 goalkeeper was also confused by Wang Feng's continuous fake moves, and the timing of the ball was a little late.

2:2! Genk equalized the score!

After scoring the goal, Wang Feng flew to celebrate with open arms, soaring like an eagle over the Veltins Stadium, while the defensive player who fell behind him sat on the ground with a sad face. This scene was perfectly recorded by the camera. The next day it appeared on the news covers of major European sports media.
