In the 65th minute of the second half, Genk steals the ball from the backcourt, and Carl Beth drives the ball to the frontcourt. Nagi and Liers' defender speed up like a 100-meter race, but the defender finds out desperately that Nagi overtakes him.Farther and farther.
Nagi successfully got the ball, forming a single goal, 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 last round, Genk will face the challenge of Segra Brugge. In the first minute of the game, Genk took the lead. Nagi 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.

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 qualifying 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 Nagi 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, Nagi was 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 Nagi, who spent a lot of time being mentioned.
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. Nagi 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 Mina only entered the team after the winter break."
"Latest News" reported: "Nagi created 32 goals for Genk, accounting for more than half of the team's total goals."
"Standard" wrote sourly: "If it weren't for Nagi, Genk might have been relegated. The relegation of the league champion last season would definitely become the laughing stock of European football."
Nagi's performance also attracted the attention of many European media. England's "Bild" broke the news: "During this period, the very famous Genk teenager Nagi Mina 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 to buy Nagi . Although he does not have a work permit and cannot play for Manchester United temporarily, he can be loaned out for exercise. When Nagi 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. Mina is full of interest, and they feel that Mina 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 Nagi, who performed well in the League One.
"For them, Jan Koller is undoubtedly an experienced shooter who is currently at his peak, while Nagi's age is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Many clubs are more willing to introduce peak combat power."
"Mina 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, Mina 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" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" also reported on Nagi, guessing who his next club will be.
These reports were all mixed, so naturally they would not attract Nagi's attention, but when he saw a news item from the Belgian "Latest News", he instantly lost his composure.
This news quoted the report of the French "L'Equipe", which said that Paris Saint-Germain had officially submitted an offer of 8 million euros to Genk, hoping to introduce Nagi.
"This offer is crazy," said former French international and famous coach Henri Michel, not good news."
However, Paris is obviously very optimistic about Nagi. The team chairman Lawrence Pompey even personally shouted to the media: "Mina, come to Paris. We are one of the five major leagues in Europe. Here we have a broader stage."
"You will be the cornerstone of Paris' future, and we will build the team around you."
Nagi quickly called his agent Francisco Balmond to inquire about the situation. Balmond was silent for a while and said, "Mina, I originally planned to contact you after you finished the cup final, but since you asked , I can't help but say it."
"Genk has received a lot of offers for you, most of which range from 1 million euros to 3 million euros. Paris did propose an offer of 8 million euros, and the manager of Genk was shocked."
"This side is hesitant now. You know, Genk's finances have not been very good, and this huge sum of money is enough to turn them around."
Nagi said bluntly: "I don't want to leave, Balmond, at least not this summer, I don't want to change three teams a year, you go talk to Bill Albert, as long as you strengthen the defense this summer, I promise to do better next year."
"I'm even willing to make some concessions on salary," Nagi said.
After hearing it, Bamond said: "I understand what you mean, Mina, I will further negotiate with the team manager, but your salary must increase significantly, otherwise it will not meet your status and role in the team."
After hanging up the phone, Nagi was a little helpless. It should have been a happy thing for him to be so favored, but the timing was too unfortunate. Every time he changed teams, it took him a while to get used to it.
And now I am still too immature and need to continue to sharpen, it is still difficult to gain a firm foothold in the five major leagues.
"Then win the cup first and let Bill Albert see our hope for next season." Nagi secretly decided.
René Delvaux sits in the stands area where Genk fans sit at the Lottopark in Brussels, surrounded by players from Verton and head coach Mette Magritte.
I remembered that Nagi returned to Verton a few days ago and brought him more than 20 tickets for the Belgian Cup final. He hoped can invite his former teammates who want to watch the game to the scene.
For players like Verton, the Belgian Cup final is the highest stage of honor they can stand on. Unfortunately, no team from the second team has been able to make it to this stage for many years.
Paul Chuck looked at Nagi running on the field with complicated eyes. Just over half a year ago, he looked down on Nagi very much, thinking that he could not become a professional player, but he did not expect that he would grow to such a level in the blink of an eye.
Hearing the nearby Genk fans shouting Nagi's name with crappy pronunciation, and seeing the offer worth 8 million euros in the news, Chuck knew that this was an achievement that he would never achieve in his life.
"Even though I've watched it on TV many times, I still can't believe it," coach Magritte said with emotion: "Mina has made great progress. When he was in Verton, he only had good dribbling skills and good speed."
"However, after just half a season of competition, he has practiced his foot skills so well. Just now, he made a quick forward move, and then passed the defense with a fancy dribble, which can be described as smooth and smooth. "
"Yeah," Rennie nodded in agreement, "When I first came to Belgium, Nagi was like a bamboo pole. He fell down as soon as They hit him. He couldn't adapt to confrontation at all. I didn't expect to be able to compete with Anderlecht's defenders now." The ball, don't fall into the wind."
While a few people were discussing Nagi, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Adrian Gale broke through with the ball from the left. The defender grabbed the spot and pushed the ball hard.
After the ball came to the front field, Blanche accurately judged where the ball landed, rushed to it, and ferried the header to Nagi on the right. With his back to the goal, Nagi turned around directly after stopping the ball with his chest, and volleyed with his left foot.
Only a "bang" was heard, and the ball rushed out like a cannonball. The Anderlecht goalkeeper tried his best to stretch his arms to save, but the ball flew into the goal from between his arms.
"The goal went in, goooooooooooooooooooal! In the 17th minute, Nagi knocked on Anderlecht's gate, 1:0, and Genk took the lead in the final!"
"Let's take a look at the replay. Mina was more than 30 meters away from the goal. After receiving a pass from Beth in the frontcourt, he stopped the ball with his chest. Without making any adjustments, he turned around and volleyed. This is an out-and-out world wave."
"It seems that Nagi can always play high-quality and highly entertaining goals against Anderlecht. In the last league match, he contributed the volley world wave and upside-down golden hook that shocked European football. Today Another volley."
After scoring the goal, Nagi ran excitedly to the stands where the Genk fans were roaring and venting their regrets about the defeat last time, the fans in the stands also stood up to respond to him, shouting revenge and the like words.
Only 4 minutes later, Genk made a counter, Gale broke through from the left again, and then made a cross. Blanche from the front point struggled to take off and hit the ball. The ball flew towards the penalty spot, but there was clearly no one there.
The Anderlecht defender on the left suddenly thought of something, and quickly shouted: "Fill your position!" Then he ran towards the ball, but at this moment, a figure rushed out like lightning and came to the football before.
"Nagi's speed is very fast. He unloaded the ball, hit the goal, and the ball scored. In just 4 minutes, Genk once again expanded the score!"
"It's Mina again. He is in great form. He hits both goals and scored twice. In comparison, Jan Koller seems to have not yet entered the state. He has not completed a shot until now."
The reason why Jan Koller's performance is relatively sluggish is mainly because the Genk coaching staff made special defensive arrangements for him, trying their best to block Anderlecht's cross from the wing, so that Jan Koller could not take advantage of his height.
After the first half of the game, Genk had touched the trophy with one hand, but in the locker room, the head coach Aimee Antonis still reminded everyone: "Everyone, don't be careless, Anderlecht's strength is very strong, if you are not careful, you will be overturned."
After the opening of the second half, Anderlecht really launched a fierce attack on Genk. Jan Koller frequently created opportunities on the front line. He used his physical advantages to the extreme and ran against without saving his energy.
Head coach Antonis had to make substitution adjustments, replacing Adrian Gale with a tall defender who was close to marking Jan Koller.
