The residence that Francisco Balmond chose for Wang Feng is near the club, with a small lake and a stretch of woods next to it. It is a place with pleasant scenery.

This is an old-fashioned flat. There are many rooms on the first floor. Each room is relatively small. There are only bathrooms and no kitchen. Balmond said: "Many young players from Genk live here. You can get to know them later. They should all be training on the field now."

After seeing Wang Feng settled down, Balmond left first. According to his introduction, there is a shopping street not far from here, where there is a large supermarket and many places to eat. Wang Feng plans to buy some necessities first, and then he planned to eat there.

The team gave Wang Feng two days to rest, but Wang Feng soon settled down and visited the city of Genk. After spending a day, he couldn't wait to practice, so he decided to report in advance.

After walking to the stadium, Wang Feng first went to the logistics department to get all the equipment from sneakers to shirts, and then went to the team doctor for a comprehensive examination. The team doctor was surprised to find that Wang Feng's physical condition was very good, and he was even in a state where he could directly play the game, so he was allowed to train with the team.

Under the leadership of assistant coach Quick Martin, Wang Feng came to the field. At this time, the head coach was sitting on the side, and the players were doing warm-up exercises. Wang Feng respectfully greeted the head coach Aimee Antonis, and the head coach also kindly motioned him to step aside and introduced the situation of the team to him.

"So far this season, we have been under a lot of pressure on our results. Genk is currently ranked 9th in the standings, and there is no hope of defending the championship. There is still a huge gap of 16 points from the European competition." fr eeweb novel

"The Belgian Cup is also one of our key goals this season, so we need to fight on two fronts for a long time. Wang, you are the strength I must rely on."

After hearing this, Wang Feng said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

Antonis smiled and said: "But you don't have to be too nervous. This is your first season in the first league. The intensity and timing of the competition are not comparable to those of the second, so you can spend more time getting used to it. I have faith in you."

After speaking, he took Wang Feng to the field, signalled the players to assemble, and then introduced Wang Feng to everyone. As the captain, Aaron Abigail first welcomed Wang Feng's arrival, and the other players also welcomed him. They responded one after another, and they seemed to be very kind.

However, there are also some unfriendly eyes, who are looking at Wang Feng. The first is the winger Bobby April who was transferred from the Genk youth training. The arrival of Wang Feng will directly affect his status. He is very unconvinced. 'I came out of the youth training seriously, how could I not compare to a rookie from the second division.'

The captain of the team, Abigail, led Wang Feng to introduce him to his teammates one by one. Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Wang Feng joined them to start the warm-up training.

After starting the formal training, Wang Feng finally felt what a League One team is. Compared with Genk's training, Virton is no different from playing. During the training, no matter the intensity of the items or the emphasis on the players, they are far more than the training that Wang Feng has been exposed to before.

At the beginning, head coach Antonis was worried that Wang Feng would not be able to adapt, but after a brief adjustment, Wang Feng felt better and better.

However, the problem is that the tacit understanding between Wang Feng and his teammates is not enough. Many times he chose to go at it alone when he should pass the ball, and he chose to pass the ball when he should go alone, resulting in many mistakes.

But this is not an issue. Antonis believes that with the deepening of training, the tacit understanding between Wang Feng and his teammates will become better.

After the training was over, the coach called Wang Feng over to give him some encouragement, and then left. Other players also went back to the locker room to pack their things. In the cabinet next to Wang Feng was a young player, Genk midfielder Karl Bess. He happened to live next door to Wang Feng's flat, so the two chatted very speculatively on the training ground just now.

Bess saw that Wang Feng was wiping his sweat and was not about to change clothes, so he asked strangely: "Wang, don't you want to change?"

Wang Feng said: "Bess, go back first, I will practice for a while ."

Beth smiled wryly: "After such intense training, you still have the strength to practice more. I really admire you, but don't go too far before you get injured." Wang Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, expressing that he would pay attention. Then he returned to the training ground with the ball.

While dribbling the ball, he thought about the problems that occurred during the training just now. Genk is different from Virton. The midfielders and strikers are both very strong. He no longer needs to support everywhere as before, but he should be like a sharp knife. Going straight into the opponent's defensive loopholes.

This requires you not only to be able to stop and dribble the ball, but also to be able to pass the ball. During the training just now, Wang Feng felt that all the passes were not on point, so he needed to focus on practising the passing skills, but how to train the passing by himself?

Wang Feng thought for a while, and first decided to practice fixed-point passing. The practice method is to put a ball on the spot, and then bring another ball with him, looking for opportunities to kick the ball onto the placed ball.

At the beginning, Wang Feng, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, couldn't accurately pass the ball under his feet to the side of the ball placed in place. He adjusted the strength and angle of his passing, and gradually corrected the ball's rolling trajectory.

After a period of practice, he achieved most of the passes as they successfully reached the intended location. However, this method of passing the ball is too simple, and it must not be widely used in an actual match.

So he began to practice more difficult passing, using various parts of his feet to let the ball roll out various arcs to reach the designated position, and even provoke the ball to fly to the designated position from above.

Wang Feng was completely absorbed in the training and forgot the time. In the team building not far away, the head coach Antonis stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, watching him training alone, and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile. Who wouldn't like a hard-working player?

He didn't stop until the lights of the court came on, and the staff reminded Wang Feng that it was late. Back in the locker room, he didn't go home immediately, but did another half an hour of recovery exercise on the fitness equipment, and then took a shower before walking home slowly.

When he got home, Wang Feng sat by the bed and looked at the empty white wall. He thought that when he got his salary, he should buy a TV, and also a VCR so that he could watch videos of other teams.

He thought of the letter sent from his home a few days ago, and couldn't help but take it out and look at it. The delicate handwriting on the paper was obviously written by his sister, but it should have been dictated by his mother.

The letter said that they had received Wang Feng's money and paid off the family's debts. They were surprised that Wang Feng had earned so much money in a few months, so they asked him to keep some for himself. Don't be too frugal at ordinary times. Athletes need it very much.

The letter also said that everything is fine at home, his sister's job has stabilized, and his sister's grades are also very good, let him not worry, and pay attention to his body and the like. A short letter, full of affection and longing.

Wang Feng laughed involuntarily, he was a little homesick. However, this made him more determined to play football well and change the fate of the whole family. He picked up a pen and wrote back to them lying on the bedside. There will be more money, so that the family does not have to worry.

After finishing writing, he put the letter in an envelope and sealed it, ready to send it out later, and then fell asleep.
