King of World Football Chapter 72

The final of the UEFA Europa League will be held at the Westfalenstadion in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This is the home stadium of Dortmund in the Bundesliga. After the league awards ceremony, team manager Bill Albert He personally led the team to Germany.

The opponent in the final, Alaves, arrived at the destination first and checked into a local five-star luxury hotel. After everything was settled, the head coach Abdul Stam immediately called the coaching staff to discuss tactics.

Alaves also reached the final of the Europa League for the first time, so the whole team attaches great importance to it. Although the head coach Stam is unknown, he has worked in the mid-range teams of La Liga and Bundesliga all year round. This season he even led Alaves. Weiss made it all the way to the final stage, which is enough to show his level.

Although Genk is from the second-tier Belgian League One in Europe, they have just eliminated the strong Liverpool, so Stam did not dare to be careless. They came to Germany early and adapted to the venue here. and weather.

"I have carefully studied the two battles between Genk and Liverpool. Wang Feng is the key to Genk's victory, and the level of others is weaker." Stam analyzed: "The five goals in the two rounds were all made by Wang Feng finished, although the other team members also got some opportunities, but their ability to grasp them is not strong."

Assistant coach Rosendo Pochek nodded and said: "So we want to contain Wang Feng's attack? But how to do it, even Liverpool's defense can't do it?"

Stam said: "Containing Wang Feng is not realistic, our defense is relatively weak, so I plan to have an offensive battle with Genk, we have a lot of talents on the front line, Harvey Moreno, Ivan Alonso , Jodic Cruyff are strong strikers, and Antonio Carmona in midfield is also an experienced veteran."

"With so many people, can't they compare to Wang Feng's scoring efficiency alone? No matter how many goals he scores, we should just have one more than him."

"We attacked from the beginning and caught the opponent by surprise. The 45 minutes in the first half were the key. As long as we can get the lead and then defend, I believe that Genk's fighting spirit will soon dissipate."

Stam then added: "As for Wang Feng, we can't completely ignore it. Let Cosmin Contra go to mark him closely. I believe it will also cause him some trouble."

On the other hand, Genk is also ambitious. They have already passed the strongest opponent Liverpool, and now they are also greeted by the new team in the Europa League final. The team manager Albert believes that they will definitely be able to defeat their opponents and win the club's history. On the first Europa League!

For the rich teams, the UEFA Cup is a bit insignificant. They care more about the Champions League competition, but for the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues, as well as European second-tier teams like Belgium, the UEFA Cup is still very attractive.

Needless to say, the fans of Alaves in La Liga organized a team of nearly 5,000 people and came to Germany to cheer for their beloved team. The Belgian fans were even more crazy, not only fans of Genk, fans of many other teams were also ready to come to the scene to cheer for Genk and witness the glorious historical moment of the Bundesliga team.

Belgium paid close attention to this event. Belgian King Albert II even brought his royal family to watch the game in person. This made the German government attach great importance to the security of the game and dispatched nearly a thousand security forces.

Wang Feng, as the first Chinese to stand on the stage of the Europa League final, the domestic media also gave great affirmation and comprehensive coverage. CCTV Sports Channel will start live broadcasting the day before the final, broadcasting the real-time pre-match In addition, many professional football commentators and retired celebrities were invited to review Wang Feng's battles along the way and analyze his performance.

At the same time, a large-scale interview team is also on its way to Germany. They will follow up and report the situation on the spot and bring first-hand news to domestic fans.

This is the biggest event in Chinese football this year besides the World Preliminaries.

In the eyes of everyone, the game finally kicked off. Both teams played their main players. Genk formed a regular formation of 442, Wang Feng and Jason Aldridge were at the front, and Alaves Arrange a three-five-two reinforced midfield formation.

After the opening, Alaves played a wave of attack. In the 3rd minute, midfielder Alonso made a through pass and tore through Genk's defense. Moreno caught the ball in the penalty area and hit the goal. At the critical moment, Gareth- Barry stood up and snatched back the must-have goal in front of the goal.

The Belgian fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamation, and did not breathe a sigh of relief until the ball was completely cleared, applauding for Barry's wonderful performance.

But Alaves' attack finally paid off. In the 19th minute, Moreno and Cruyff Jr. staged an exquisite cooperation at the front of the penalty area. The continuous lateral passing and crossing made the Genk defenders in the penalty area into chaos~ www.mtlnovel.com~Moreno made the last shot and opened the scoring for Alaves.

Stam on the coach's bench waved his fist excitedly, everything was as he expected, Alaves, who was attacking with all his strength, was not afraid of any opponent. He looked at Genk's coaching bench next to him, and saw the head coach Antonis sitting on the bench without any anxiety on his face.

Is it pretending to be calm? Stam secretly thought, when you see the second and third goals conceded, see if you can still look normal.

Antonis is not pretending to be calm, but the current form is not good for Genk, but Wang Feng's role can be highlighted after Aravis's aggressive attack during this period.

In addition, Antonis has seen this backward situation too many times, and Wang Feng will not disappoint him every time, and I believe he will never be this time.

After the goal, Alaves was obviously relieved, and the offensive slowed down unknowingly, which gave Genk a chance to counterattack.

In the 31st minute, Henk took control of the ball and launched an attack. Barry in the midfield passed the ball to the left. Aldridge received the ball at the front of the penalty area and wanted to cross it to Wang Feng in the middle, but Alaves hoarded the ball in the penalty area. Heavy troops, the ball was intercepted in advance.

After stealing the ball, Alaves did not launch a quick counterattack, but decided to control the ball under his feet, and then slowly organize the attack. Contra passed the ball back to another defender, Jarrod Deco.

Unexpectedly, Aldridge, who caused the loss of the ball at this time, countered on the spot and wanted to make up for the mistake he made. Deco was a little flustered under his pressure, and he wanted to kick the ball to the midfield.

As a result, the ball was not kicked hard and was intercepted by Barry in the frontcourt. He happened to see Wang Feng withdrawing from the penalty area, and there were no defenders around, so he passed the ball decisively.
