King of World Football

"Mr. Key!" One of the largest sports newspapers in Belgium, "Sports Life", published this headline in a prominent position on the cover, with a picture of Wang Feng celebrating with his hands pointing to the sky after his first goal.

"Wang's offensive ability is very comprehensive. His breakthrough and dribbling have always been his strengths. Now we see that he has also improved in passing. Under such circumstances, Wang's future is bright." Belgian football star Paul Fan Himster said in an interview, "Anderlecht failed to win him, it is definitely regrettable and regrettable."

This report has aroused extensive discussions in Belgian football circles. Some people agree with "Sports Life", and even compare Wang Feng with Ronaldo, Saviola and other South American football superstars. Some people think that Wang Feng Participating in relatively few professional leagues, it is obviously not worthy of the name to receive so many praises now.

"Latest News" went to Verton to interview the head coach Mette Magritte, and for the former favorite, Magritte was not stingy with words of praise: "Wang Feng is undoubtedly a future player. Star, with five goals and two assists in three games in his time with Vertonghen, we couldn't have asked for more."

"Off the court, Wang is also the one who works the hardest. He is meticulous in training and always practice extra. It is difficult for such a self-disciplined athlete to succeed."

"What delights me the most is the self-confidence exuded by Wang, whether it is handling the ball or shooting, he seems to be in control, this kind of self-confidence will make his performance more stable, and it will also infect the players around him, even the coach. "

But inside Henke, he hoped that the media would not over-praise Wang Feng and make him blindly arrogant. Genk head coach Aimee Antonis believes that Wang Feng's abilities are not comprehensive enough, and his shortcomings are obvious, which needs to be honed further.

In an interview, team manager Bill Albert believed that Wang Feng's performance in these few games was indeed outstanding, but the team's victory was due to the hard work of the whole team. In response to the recent rumors that the Premier League and Ligue 1 teams are investigating Wang Feng and want to get him, the team manager denied it.

"We have not received any offers and we will not sell Wang Feng. He is still very young and it is too early to leave Genk."

However, some media people analyzed that the team manager emphasized that no offer was received, maybe a suitable offer can impress Genk and get Wang Feng.

After Wang Feng saw the report, he immediately called his agent Francisco Balmond: "Bamond, I saw the report. Is the team really interested in selling me?"

Balmond responded: "In fact, I did receive contact from several clubs, including Montpellier in Ligue 1 and Mainz in Bundesliga, but they don't want to pay you a large transfer fee."

"On the other hand, Genk obviously prefers a very high transfer price before considering a sale, because you are both a rising star and an immediate combat power."

After hearing this, Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Balmond, I don't want to leave the League yet. My experience in the game is still too little, and frequent changes of environments will make me a little uncomfortable."

Francisco Balmond said: "Wang, don't worry, I understand what you mean, and I agree with you to stay first, and I will try my best to get you a better treatment in Genk."

Sometimes he would be very envious of his colleagues who went to Germany and the UK. Their reports on overseas players Sun Jihai and Yang Chen often aroused heated discussions in China. Moreover, this year Xie Hui also joined the Bundesliga second team. Zhao Haiyang even wanted to apply for transfer. to Germany.

When Zhao Haiyang heard about Wang Feng for the first time when he won the cup for Genk, Zhao Haiyang thought it was someone of Chinese descent, because there was no news in China that any talented player had gone abroad.

It wasn't until Wang Feng won two consecutive league victories for Genk and caused a sensation in Belgium that he didn't know that this young player is an out-and-out Chinese.

Zhao Haiyang asked his friends in China to check, but he didn't find Wang Feng's information, that is to say, he is not yet a registered player of the Football Association, which made him even more surprised.

He felt that the report on Wang Feng would definitely attract the public's attention, so he contacted Wang Feng's agent Francisco Balmond after a long time.

Balmond quickly called Wang Feng: "Wang, a reporter from your home country wants to do an exclusive interview for you. Let's arrange it quickly. This will obviously increase your value and influence."

Wang Feng did not expect to attract the attention of domestic reporters. He accepted the exclusive interview with pleasure and met Zhao Haiyang in a coffee shop in Genk.

Zhao Haiyang was a little surprised when they met for the first time. Although the outside world said that Wang Feng was only 16 years old, seeing that immature face, it was hard to believe that his owner was already playing in the Belgian First Division.

The two shook hands, and after a brief exchange of greetings, Zhao Haiyang directly asked Wang Feng how he came to Belgium to play football. Wang Feng did not hide anything, and introduced his experience of being tricked into Belgium at the beginning, and then gradually playing football.

Zhao Haiyang said: "It's really unexpected that such a young boy like you can break out of the world when you come to a foreign country alone." Wang Feng smiled, he must be lucky.

Then they chatted about training and life. Zhao Haiyang also euphemistically said that it would be good if he can practice more in the League. Obviously he heard the recent transfer rumors, and Wang Feng nodded in agreement.

Finally, Zhao Haiyang also asked Wang Feng if he would like to play for the national team, and Wang Feng said he was always ready.

The interview went well, Zhao Haiyang nodded in satisfaction, and said: "This report should be available to domestic fans soon, I believe that many people will pay attention to you by then, I hope you can perform better. "

Wang Feng smiled shyly and left. His life will not change because of the report, training and competition still occupy all his time.

When some media heard whether Wang Feng would be recruited to participate in the 2000 Asian Cup, the spokesman said: "Wang Feng is an excellent young player. I hope he can continue to work hard. , continue to hone on the stage of European football."

Regarding the national team's Asian Cup roster, he said: "After our discussion, we feel that the current lineup is very mature. We have many experienced overseas players, so there is no plan to recruit for the time being."

Many fans also expressed their understanding. They felt that Wang Feng was too young, and it would be better to fight for the country in the future. But there are also some fans who think that Wang Feng should be brought, "His sharp attack will be of great help." A fan left a message on the forum.

Zhao Haiyang called and said: "Wang Feng, I heard that you had a chance to enter the national team. The head coach Milu watched the video of your game. He thinks your strength is quite enough."

"But you also know that you are not a registered player of the Football Association. There are too many twists and turns involved in this, and the interests involved are also great, so you were defeated in the end." Zhao Haiyang couldn't help feeling regretful.

Wang Feng was also quite upset after hearing this, but he still said: "It's okay, I also feel that I am still very young. When I grow up better, there will always be a chance to serve the country."
