King Of World Football

Chapter 779: Rare Holiday

After the match against Arsenal, Manchester City had achieved a record of 14 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, accumulating 44 points, extending their lead over second-placed Chelsea to 4 points.

At the same time, Liverpool, who ranked third and had played one less game, only had 34 points, making it difficult for them to threaten the top two positions.

English football fans and media consistently focused on this high-profile battle, sparking widespread discussions before and after the match.

Wang Feng only registered one assist in the game, although he did not score himself, he remained the most eye-catching presence throughout the match.

Drawing defenders with successive attacks, everyone saw him repeatedly breaking into the encirclement, maneuvering in extremely tight spaces, and looking for opportunities to pass the ball out.

Everyone was talking about and praising his superb skills, but this was not the original intention of the Chinese superstar.

Honestly, he had enjoyed the feeling of standing at the peak and leading the way for too long, and now he preferred to push his teammates to come forward.

So, Wang Feng posted two photos on social media, one showing Sane and Aguero celebrating after scoring goals, with a caption that read: "Brilliant goals, heroes of victory!"

The influence of the Chinese superstar was astonishing. Under his influence, people quickly shifted their attention to the two players.

Aguero, needless to say, was a well-known outstanding striker. Since joining the Blue Moon from Atletico Madrid, despite several rumors of interest from top clubs, he always remained the absolute core of the team.

There were offers from the club to retain him, but there was also the Argentine striker's love for the team that influenced his decision.

The rise of the 20-year-old young talent Sane was somewhat accidental. The main striker, Sterling's injury, gave him a lot of opportunities to play, and the German was very capable of seizing these opportunities, scoring 4 goals so far.

Moreover, Wang Feng occasionally saw him during extra training sessions. Overall, talent and hard work made Sane, and he believed his future prospects were undoubtedly bright.

Approaching Christmas, even though the Premier League did not have a winter break, the schedule became sparse, and Wang Feng decided to take a trip to Madrid with his wife, taking advantage of a rare 3-day break.

His daughter was waiting eagerly at the gate of the estate. As soon as she saw her father's figure, she rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest. Wang Feng quickly stepped forward to pick her up.

"Daddy, do you not want us anymore? You haven't come home for so long!" It seemed that coaxing was a natural talent for girls. Little Siyao pouted as if she was about to cry. f reeweb novel.com

Wang Feng quickly comforted her softly, took out the carefully prepared gifts, and promised to spend more time with her in the coming days. Only then did Little Siyao let him off the hook.

On the other hand, Haoxin, who had been trained in the youth academy, looked somewhat mature, deliberately ignoring his father, but the occasional glances he cast revealed his thoughts.

Naturally, Wang Feng wouldn't neglect one child for another. He also prepared generous gifts for his younger son, making him burst into laughter, and the family soon became harmonious and joyful.

Fatherly time was particularly precious to Wang Feng. He would listen carefully to the interesting things happening at his daughter's school and discuss training issues with his son, planning to take some time to witness them personally.

Arriving at the youth training base, although he had heard about it before, the beautiful environment and complete facilities still surprised the Chinese superstar.

He didn't expect such a small youth team to enjoy such treatment. Compared to his own experience back then, it was like heaven and earth.

Aldedice, the director of Real Madrid's U9 team, attached great importance to Wang Feng's visit. Not only did he accompany him throughout the visit, but he also specially arranged a training session and a scrimmage.

Although the children were on holiday, upon learning that the Chinese superstar had arrived, they all rushed back to participate in the "idol meeting", eager to have close contact with this top figure in the football world. It was almost every young player's wish.

On these children, aged from 8 to 11, Wang Feng was surprised to find that they had developed a certain level of tactical skills and cooperation during the scrimmage. They worked together like a well-oiled machine.

This was much more advanced than the youth academies of Genk and even Inter Milan at the same period, not to mention domestic clubs, which were probably still practicing mundane and useless basic skills frequently at the same time.

With the development of modern football, the importance of tactics and teamwork has become increasingly prominent. If one cannot understand and integrate into the collective, it would be difficult to establish oneself on the field.

It could be said that Real Madrid's youth player development was leaps and bounds ahead. No wonder their U9 team was unbeatable, having even defeated the Valladolid U9 team 31-0, causing a small uproar.

"Little Haoxin's performance is outstanding. He will surely inherit your legacy and become the future star of Real Madrid!" Aldedice exclaimed in admiration.

Wang Feng waved his hand. Who could say for sure about the future? He then requested the director not to expose his children too much to the media, as it would bring unnecessary pressure.

Aldedice understood and mentioned that even Zinedine Zidane's eldest son Enzo, who was also a member of Real Madrid's youth academy, faced difficulties due to his father's fame. All his performances were magnified, which was difficult for the child to bear.

At the age of 21, his performance was far from as agile and eye-catching as it was when he was a child. He could barely hold a position in the B team and couldn't break into the first team. Therefore, he was actively seeking a transfer to a team where he could play regularly.

Therefore, having suffered once, the Frenchman was very protective of his two sons, Theo and Eliasz, and news about them was basically nonexistent in the media.

The days of the holiday were always so short, and soon Wang Feng returned to Manchester to resume training.

Two days later, the team set off for Yorkshire to challenge Hull City Club, which was the 18th round of the Premier League.

This team, founded in 1904 and located on the banks of the River Hull, had distinctive yellow and black home jerseys, hence they were also known as the "Tigers".

Although they had a long history, it took Hull City a whole 104 years to make it to the top flight league. They had experienced several promotions and relegations, and last year they returned to the Premier League by defeating Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship play-offs.

Currently, the most famous player in the team was the Serbian winger Lazar Markovic, who debuted for Belgrade's Partizan and helped the team win the league title before joining Benfica.

That period was the peak of Markovic's career. Not only did he win the domestic treble with excellent performances in Portugal, but he also attracted attention from Liverpool, subsequently landing at Anfield for ￡20 million.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the top clubs. A year later, he joined Fenerbahce on loan, then had spells at Sporting Lisbon, and now at Hull City.

This newly promoted team couldn't stop the pace of the Blue Moon. After the game started, the away team took control of everything.

In the 12th minute, De Bruyne sent a cross from the right, and Wang Feng headed the ball into the home team's goal directly, opening the scoring for Manchester City. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Then, in the 29th minute, the Chinese superstar moved to the left, completed a one-two with Sane, who then crossed the ball into the box. Wang Feng arrived easily to tap it in, scoring his second goal of the game.

After the break, Silva sent a through ball, and Aguero, on the left side of the penalty area, chipped the ball into the far corner with the outside of his foot, piercing through Hull City goalkeeper Jakupovic's fingertips once again.

With victory completely secured, Guardiola began to rest players, substituting Wang Feng for Nolito.

Towards the end of the game, substitute Fernando attempted a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball deflected off the ground unexpectedly, deflecting into the net.

In the end, the Blue Moon won 4-0 against the Tigers, continuing to lead the Premier League standings.
