Chapter 31: The end of the league and media coverage

In the 31st round of the league, Genk played against Ostend at home. In the 31st minute, Wang Feng made a breakthrough from the right. He used the subtle Cruyff to turn around and get rid of the defense and then made a pass. Caspar Blanche jumped and hit the goal , and finally defeated the opponent 1:0 and won three consecutive victories again.

In the second round of the Belgian Cup semi-final, Genk shook hands with Standard Liege 0-0 in the away game. However, Genk still advanced to the Belgian Cup final with a total score of 2:0 by virtue of their home victory.

In the 32nd round of the league, Genk faced Liers. In this game, Wang Feng regained his form. In the 37th minute, Wang Feng retreated to get the ball and started. After dribbling continuously, he passed the second defensive player. After entering the penalty area diagonally, he volleyed the goal with his left foot.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Genk stole the ball from the backcourt, and Carl Bess drives the ball to the frontcourt. Wang Feng and Liers' defender speed up like a 100-meter race, but the defender finds out desperately that Wang Feng overtakes him.

Wang Feng successfully got the ball, no offside! Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he flicked it lightly, and the ball flew over the goalkeeper who fell to the ground and fell into the net.

In the end, Genk defeated Liers 2:0, and Wang Feng scored twice again.

In the 33rd round of the league, Genk played against Charleroi. Although Genk made a mistake in the defense and conceded a goal first, they finally reversed their opponents with one pass and one shot by Wang Feng and successfully won the victory.

In the last round, Genk will face the challenge of Brugge. In the first minute of the game, Genk took the lead. Feng was keenly aware that there was a problem with the opponent's defensive position.

So he attacked decisively, passed two defenders in a row, entered the penalty area, and calmly volleyed with his left foot.

Then Genk continued to attack. In the 34th minute, Adrian Gayle made a pass from the left. Blanche successfully got the ball with his physical advantage and ferried the ball into the penalty area. Wang Feng followed up and scored. The goal was hit again, helping Genk extend his lead.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Wang Feng stopped and changed direction suddenly while dribbling the ball on the right side, passing the defense inside the penalty area. He could have hit the goal directly, but he reciprocated and passed the ball to Blanche in the middle.

3:0, Genk sealed the victory. Ten minutes later, the head coach replaced Wang Feng. When Wang Feng was off the field, the fans of the home team stood up and applauded Wang Feng. Since the winter break, Wang Feng's outstanding performance made Genk, a team in deep trouble see hope again, how can the fans not be grateful?

At the last moment of the game, Brugge pulled back a goal, but it was irrelevant to the overall situation. In the end, with Wang Feng's two shots and one pass, Genk defeated the opponent 3:1.

It is gratifying that the third-ranked Standard Liege lost to Antwerp in the last round, so Genk's ranking has risen by one place and came to the third place in the league. In this way, they will not have to participate in the Europa League qualifier next season, but can directly participate in the group stage.

After reaching the goal of qualifying for the Europa League, the team manager was also very happy, because one of the main income of the team is the European competition. He promised to pay bonuses on the spot, and Wang Feng also received a reward of nearly 10,000 euros.

"The next goal is to win the Belgian Cup. If we succeed in winning the championship, the team will pay a larger bonus. Come on, everyone." At the dinner after the league, team manager Bill Albert said.

Genk's opponent in the Belgian Cup final was Anderlecht, who eliminated Bruges 3:1 in the semifinals. No matter from the point of view of revenge or prize money, Wang Feng is sure to win this game.

The league championship was won by Anderlecht, and the league golden boot was won by Jan Koller, who contributed 29 goals. After the end of the season, major media carried out special reports on the season one after another, especially Genk and Wang Feng.

The "Sport" article pointed out: "Genk only lost one game in the second half, and directly counterattacked from the mid-range ranking to third in the league. Wang Feng contributed a lot. He contributed 23 goals and 9 assists in the league."

"This is a very scary number. He ranks third in the scorer list, only 6 goals behind Jan Koller. Don't forget that Wang only entered the team after the winter break."

"Latest News" reported: "Wang Feng created 32 goals for Genk, accounting for more than half of the team's total goals."

"Standard" wrote sourly: "If it weren't for Wang Feng, Genk might have been relegated. The relegation of the league champion last season would definitely become the laughing stock of European football."

Wang Feng's performance also attracted the attention of many European media. England's "Bild" broke the news: "During this period, the very famous Genk teenager Wang Feng has attracted the attention of Manchester United coach Ferguson. He is only 16 years old. The offensive ability is amazing, scoring 23 goals in 17 rounds of the league, which is terrifying."

"Ferguson has formally suggested to the club's top management that they should buy Wang Feng. Although he does not have a work permit and cannot play for Manchester United temporarily, he can be loaned out for exercise. When Wang Feng grows to the peak stage, he will definitely be able to play for Manchester United. Manchester United are building a dynasty again."

"It is worth mentioning that many Premier League teams are currently actively promoting the labor certification reform plan for outstanding young players, and I believe it will be effective soon. Wang Feng is full of interest, and they feel that Wang Feng can definitely become an immediate force."

The German "Munich Daily" stated that many clubs, including Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund, are paying close attention to Jan Koller and Wang Feng, who performed well in the League One.

"For them, Jan Kohler is undoubtedly an experienced shooter who is currently at his peak, while Wang Feng's age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Many clubs are more willing to introduce peak combat power."

"Wang Feng needs to further prove himself on the European stage."

Spain's "Daily Sport" wrote an article saying that Barcelona should act as soon as possible to recruit some extremely talented players to their banner, such as Ronaldinho from Gremio, Wang Feng from Genk and so on. "Barcelona has the best youth academy in the world, and we can definitely develop many of our own superstars."

The Spanish "Marca" scoffed at this statement: "Barcelona's youth training is very impressive, but it is a pity that young players only represent the future, and the future has infinite possibilities. Now, it belongs to the era of superstars." They also hinted that this year, in the summer, Real Madrid will make a big move that will shock the world.

The Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" also reported on Wang Feng, guessing who his next club will be.
