In the second round of the League One, Genk challenged Charleroi away. In the 11th minute of the game, the home team passed the ball to the front field, but they had no good chances and had to pass back. At this time, Gareth Barry suddenly rushed out to press, and the Charleroi central defender was caught off guard. He could only turn around to protect the ball, and then hit the player next to him horizontally.
The hastily kicked ball was not strong enough, it only rolled halfway and then gradually stopped. Another central defender of Charleroi was taken aback and rushed towards the ball, but there was one person who was faster than him. Nagi was like a cheetah preying on it. Generally, he rushed to the ball first and poked it with his toe, avoiding the opponent's counter-grab.
"The Charleroi team made a mistake in passing the ball. Mina successfully intercepted the ball and the ball was passed. It was beautiful! He moved forward with the ball very fast. Let us see Genk's counterattack this time."
"Barry and Beth in the middle also moved forward quickly, forming a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt. Let's see how Mina handles the ball."
"Mina is about to cross, it's beautiful! It's not a cross, Mina used a fake move to shake past the defender, enter the penalty area, directly face the goalkeeper, and hit the goal!"
"goooooooooooooal! Goal in and Genk take the lead."
"Let's take a look at the replay. Mina's fake was so good. He pretended to pass with his right foot. When the defensive player's center of gravity shifted, he suddenly used the inside of his foot to buckle the ball to the left, and then made a breakthrough. ."
"The whole set of movements is so smooth and flowing, it's wonderful."
"In the 11th minute, Genk took the lead. Is it necessary to replicate the big victory a week ago? Let's wait and see."
Just when the entire Genk team was excited, in the 27th minute of the first half, Nagi took the ball and was about to start it. Charleroi defender It-Sieber shoveled directly, and the sturdy studs did not touch Instead, he stepped on Nagi's ankle.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain and fell directly to the ground, telling him clearly that he was injured this time!
The Genk players surrounded the fouled player angrily, and Beth pushed him violently, looking very angry, and the scene was very chaotic. When the head coach saw Nagi fell to the ground in pain, clutching his ankle, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly called the team doctor to enter the field.
After the team doctor came to Nagi's side, he saw that his leg was scratched by the spikes, bleeding, and his ankle was swollen. He couldn't help but feel bad. If this kind of injury is serious, he will be out for at least a month. , and may even be reimbursed for the season.
The team doctor greeted everyone to treat Nagi's wound urgently, carried him out of the field on a stretcher, and signaled the head coach to replace him.
"We can see that the Charleroi defender Siber who had just tackled the ball was sent off with a red card, and Genk's Beth was given a yellow card due to irrational body movements."
"The head coach is about to make a substitution. It seems that Mina's injury is quite serious. Looking at the foul again, Xibo completely went towards Mina's feet. This is an obvious malicious foul. There is nothing wrong with the red card."
Nagi was flustered at this moment. He would not be seriously injured. At this moment, there was a hint of warmth from the treated ankle, and then the pain gradually disappeared. Instead, there was a very comfortable feeling, like soaking in hot water. Same in water.
The swollen area gradually subsided, but because Nagi's leg was wrapped in layers, no one noticed it. Feeling the changes in his body, Nagi understood that his serious injury had healed.
Nagi was sent directly to the hospital for further detailed examination, but the results were surprising. Except for superficial skin trauma, everything else was normal.
The team doctor couldn't help muttering: "Obviously I saw that Mina's foot was swollen a lot. Could it be that I had preconceived it and felt it was serious, so was it an illusion?"
However, Nagi was still not allowed to leave the hospital. The club wanted to conduct a comprehensive examination on his feet to prevent hidden injuries. Nagi could only use the TV in the ward to watch Genk's game in the second half.
Without Nagi, Genk defended very resolutely, but lacked offensive points, so that he was suppressed by Charleroi in the half. Finally, in the 77th minute, Charleroi's right winger used the right winger after stealing the ball in the midfield. The speed quickly penetrated straight to the Genk defense line, passed low to the penalty area, and the players who followed in the middle scored the ball head-on.
1:1, the home team equalized the score!
"This conceded goal is very fatal. Genk should now stabilize his position as soon as possible."
"We can see that the head coach is also constantly calling on the players to remain calm and not lose their positions on the sidelines."
"The players in Charleroi look very excited. This goal has greatly boosted their morale. Will they overtake the score?"
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Charleroi Stadium burst into applause. Although the 1:1 score was maintained until the end, the home team's fierce attack in the second half also surprised the fans.
In the other games played at the same time, all the strong teams won, so Genk, who had 4 points in two rounds, dropped to 5th place. The head coach didn't care much about the current rankings. He was most concerned about Nagi's injury, so he immediately contacted the staff in the hospital.
When he learned that Nagi was fine and that there was a high probability that he would not miss the next game, he breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, whether Nagi was present or not, Genk was completely different. team. This season's Genk lineup is a bit deformed, and the offensive end is all built around Nagi, and Albert is desperate.
This is also something that can't be helped. Logically speaking, Genk, who sent away most of the main force, will be rebuilt, but Nagi will definitely not stay in League for a long time. In order to maximize the value of "extracting" Nagi, Therefore, such a strategy was chosen.
In the post-match press conference, the main questions focused on Nagi's injury, "Mina is fine, we sent him to the hospital for a detailed examination, and the results showed that his injury is not serious, so it won't be seriou that he would miss the next game," Antonis said.
"However, that foul was absolutely malicious. We cannot ignore the seriousness of that foul just because Mina is in good health or good luck. We will formally submit an application to the Football Association to request an additional suspension for It"
When asked about the difference between Genk's performance in the second half and the first half, Antonis explained: "Mina is the undisputed core of Genk's attack, and we also arrange it like this in our usual drills."
"After Mina left the field, the offensive tacit understanding of other Genk players was not enough, but don't forget that we are still a new team that has just been reorganized. I believe that given the players some time, they can do better."
The head coach of Charleroi denied Hit Sieber's malicious foul in an interview, "It was a mistake. We all know that the tackle is to steal the ball from the opponent's feet. And Sieber has already paid for his mistake. order."
"A red card and suspension for the next round is the most reasonable punishment. I don't think the Football Association will impose additional penalties. Of course Mina is difficult to deal with, but we played more disciplined in the second half. It is we who have the upper hand.
The next day, major media reported on the game one after another, focusing on the foul and Genk's poor performance in the second half.
"Sport" said that the foul violated the spirit of competition, "Our Football Association cannot tolerate this phenomenon."
"Latest News" believes that Iter-Sieber is completely directed at people. "According to the latest news from the hospital, Mina is fine except for a little skin trauma. The fans of Genk should be relieved. But Mina is an iron fighter." Is it? If other players have suffered such a kick, it will not be so simple."
The "Standard" could not deny that Nagi was fouled because the camera captured it clearly, but they turned their guns and criticized Genk's performance, "When Mina was not present, they were like a group of headless chickens. Again, this kind of performance can't support the championship at all, and Bill Albert's signing strategy this summer is completely stupid."
The Belgian Football Association still issued an additional fine to Yit Xibo and suspended him for 3 games. This can be regarded as seeking justice for Nagi, and let those players who want to maliciously infringe Nagi understand what it means to steal without losing money.
In the third round of the League One, Genk played against Westeros at home. Even though the team doctor repeatedly confirmed that Nagi's injury was not serious, the head coach Aimee Antonis still put him on the bench. The rest of the lineup was exactly the same as the previous game.
In just 11 minutes of the opening, Westeros made an attack and the striker opened the scoring for the visiting team. For a period of time after that, Genk's offense never improved, and the situation on the field became more and more dangerous.
Antonis finally couldn't bear it anymore, and soon after the second half started, he replaced Nagi. The fans of the home team who were extremely anxious in the stands boiled instantly. They finally had a chance to release their pent-up mood, so they all stood up and cheered , cheer for Nagi.
Less than two minutes after Nagi came on the field, he created an excellent opportunity. Carl Beth sent a curve ball from the front court to the side. Nagi used his speed to get in touch with the ball before the defenders. bottom line.
So he kicked back with his right foot, taking advantage of the situation to complete an emergency stop and change of direction. The defensive player couldn't hold back his figure, and looked quite embarrassed, forming a large gap. Nagi seized the opportunity, passed to the front of the penalty area with his left foot, followed by Gareth Barry and easily pushed and scored.
Genk successfully equalized the score!
Only nine minutes later, Genk made a comeback and played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. Beth passed the ball to Nagi. Nagi got the ball from behind and was in a bad position. Passing it to Nagi non-stop, forming two over one.
Facing the defense, Nagi, who entered the penalty area, immediately pushed the ball across to Barry, and then went forward again. After receiving the ball, Barry didn't think about it, and pushed forward to Nagi, who was in the middle, forming a one-two.
After a few passes and cooperation, Nagi had come to the front of the small penalty area. Facing the goalkeeper, he calmly volleys the ball to left corner into the net. The angle of this shot is very tricky, and the goalkeeper has no way to do it.
Two to one, Genk reversed the score! In the end, with one pass and one shot by Nagi, Genk scored a valuable 3 points at home.
At the same time, Anderlecht and Club Brugge also defeated their opponents one after another, and Standard Liege lost to Liers in an upset, so Genk came to the third place in the league, clinging to the leading group.
After the match against Westeros, many media really believed that Nagi's injury was fine, and couldn't help but exclaimed that Nagi was an iron man. Even the malicious foul recognized by the Football Association did not cause much harm to Nagi.
Next, Genk will challenge Anderlecht away, which is also a key battle for the two teams to compete for the championship.
Anderlecht head coach Edgar Weiss has a headache. When Nagi faced Anderlecht, it was as if he had been hit with a hard rock. He scored five goals in the two confrontations last season. No matter how you prevent it, you can't prevent it.
Regardless of the current record of the team's complete victory, Weiss knows that compared with last season, Anderlecht's overall strength has declined. During the summer transfer period, they also sold many main players. This is a common problem in the second-tier leagues, which rely on selling players to increase income. If it weren't for Weiss' strong opposition and retention, Jan Koller would have been sold.
Naturally, Nagi was ignorant of Weiss' troubles. He was taking Beth and Chivu for special training.
Nagifeels that his stopping skills limit his performance. He is good at stopping the ball with his feet, but he is not good at stopping the ball with his body.By practicing stoping the ball by yourself was not good enough,
Beth is Nagi's old partner for additional training. Since Blanche left, only Beth accompanied Nagi in extra training , Nagi forced Chivu to come over, and the Chivu people couldn't refuse , After all, he is still young, and strengthening his skills is also his goal of chasing the ball.
The three of them trained until the evening before going to eat together. Genk was very quiet at night. They found a small shop and chatted while eating. Chivu said: "I didn't intend to come to Genk. My ideal is to go to the Serie A team. Several clubs are already inspecting me."
"But Genk manager Bill Albert approached me personally and said, Genk will make a historical breakthrough under your leadership, and this season, I will make my value more prominent." Chivu looked at Nagi Said: "I didn't quite believe it at first, but after playing a few games with you, I no longer doubt it."
"Mina, your ability is definitely beyond the level of the League. Even in my old club Ajax, I can't find a better striker than you. The exposure rate of the League in Europe is too low. Even the Eredivisie It's not as good as, after you finish playing this season, you can seek a higher platform."
Hearing this, Nagi also had a strange feeling in his heart. He originally planned to hone more in Bijia, but with the continuous growth of his own strength, Bijia's defensive strength was no longer enough for him, and it would be detrimental to continue. growing up.
"Let's see after this season. Will Paris be a good choice? Their sincerity is very strong." Nagi secretly thought, "In any case, this season must help Genk hand over a A good report card, living up to the trust of the team's top management and fans."
The match between Anderlecht and Genk attracted the attention of the Belgian media. Nagi Mina VS Jan Koller is also a topic that everyone talks about. This season Nagi has scored 4 goals and his efficiency is terrifying. He is currently the top scorer. Top of the list, and last season's golden boot Jan Koller also scored 3 goals.
