The Midfield Master

(Welcome to join the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group:)

In a quiet restaurant in Funchal, Xia Ze and Tenonio are sitting opposite each other.

Looking at Xia Ze's flustered eyes, Tenonio said unexpectedly, "What happened?"

"I can't say, I only know that my situation is very bad now, I can't stay in Funchal anymore." Xia Ze said disappointedly.

Indeed, he really couldn't stay in Funchal anymore. Whether it was his performance on the court, his relationship with the fans, or the accident with Monica off the court, he had the idea of ​​leaving Maritimo. The idea, this idea is stronger than ever.

"But you can't leave at this moment. If you leave now, you will only go downhill in the future, and you will never reach the level of a top player!" Tenonio seriously refuted Xia Ze's thoughts.

Xia Ze raised his head and looked at him blankly.

"I don't know what you can't say, but now you are not satisfactory in the team. People will think that you can't recover after the injury. There will be no good team willing to ask for it. Yours, you can only go to a worse team." Tenonio said meaningfully.

"Now Maritimo fans feel that they don't need you, but you can't think so. You can't escape when you encounter setbacks, you have to overcome it!"

"I don't ask about your personal matters, but you must show your performance on the court before you can talk about transfers."

Tenonio's attitude was very tough, and he immediately rejected Xia Ze's idea of ​​transferring.

Without the help of an agent, it would be difficult for Qiu Yu to find a transfer partner, and Xia Ze could only play football obediently.

Xia Ze was silent, he had no words to refute. Tenonio is right, if he can't recover the performance of last season on the court, obviously there won't be a better team to pursue him.

If you can't pass this hurdle, it may really be like this in the future. The peak of your career is likely to stay at the moment when you won the League Cup for the team last season.

There's no way he's going to let his achievements stop at this point, his career has only just begun.

"Think about it." Seeing that Xia Ze was lost in thought, Tenonio patted him on the shoulder and left.

"It can't go on like this,

I have to win back the hearts of the Maritimo fans. I can't think of leaving here now, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that I have to prove that I am not worse than last season! Since I was not selected for the competition list, I will start from scratch to win back the trust of my teammates and coaches! "

Xia Ze said to himself in his mind, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he was no longer as depressed as before.

He left the restaurant and walked aimlessly on the street, but he wasn't the same Xia Ze who had no fighting spirit yesterday.

But as he walked, he unconsciously walked to the frustrated bar where he was drunk yesterday.

He stopped at the entrance of the bar, looked at the slightly trembling old signboard above, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Gently pushing open the wooden door, he walked into the bar. There was still sad music, and people in twos and threes were sitting on the bar counter, sluggish.

When Xia Ze came in yesterday, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he found that the drunk people at the bar were all grown men in suits and leather shoes.

If you walk on the street, you will be regarded as a manager-level figure of any company. But here they are just a drunk.

As for the bar owner, Xia Ze didn't pay much attention yesterday, but today he found out that he is a bald, short and fat old man who squints his eyes when he smiles, but he has a surprised expression when he sees Xia Ze.

"Why are you back again?" The bar owner was obviously surprised by Xia Ze's visit again.

"I just happened to pass by here, so I walked in to have a look." Xia Ze sat in front of the bar and said nonchalantly.

The two seem to be old friends who have known each other for a long time, and they speak plainly but without any barriers. The bar owner glanced at Xia Ze, and found that his expression was completely different from yesterday's decadent expression.

Now his eyes are very determined, just like what he saw when he watched the game on TV.

"You are a little different from yesterday, why do you still come in? This is a bar for the frustrated." The boss said in a strange tone.

"I don't know either. When I walked outside, I naturally walked in." Xia Ze said lightly.

The bar owner poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xia Ze. Xia Ze glanced at it, but didn't pick it up to drink, but looked at the slightly drunk person next to him, and said, "Your bar is very strange."

The bar owner didn't speak, but continued to pour wine to the drunk. The drunk man seemed seven or eight times drunk, but he kept drinking.

Xia Ze found that his face was clean-shaven and his hair was combed smoothly, not at all like a man who buys and sells drunk all day long.

This bar gave him an even more strange feeling.

"Did they all fail in business?" Xia Ze guessed.

Xia Ze can only think of one reason for being in a suit and leather shoes but drunk.

"No, they are very successful at work, and everyone is a person who can speak in their respective companies." The bar owner shook his head, denying Xia Ze's guess.

"Then why do they drink too much?" Xia Ze asked strangely.

"Then why did you drink so unconscious yesterday?" the bar owner asked back.

Xia Ze was speechless when he said that. If he says he failed, it's not considered a failure, it's just a small setback.

As for why he wanted wine yesterday, he himself didn't know, he only knew that the bar owner kept pouring wine for him, so he kept drinking.

"Why didn't you drink again today?" The bar owner looked at the untouched wine on the table and asked again.

Xia Ze also looked at the wine glasses on the table, but couldn't answer.

"Because you don't need it anymore today." The bar owner answered the question for him.

"They want to drink because they want to escape from reality, but this glass of wine can help them escape for up to 12 hours, maybe shorter. When they wake up, they find that reality is still the same, so they no longer escape." Bar owner go on.

"That's why you don't want to drink today, because you've seen the truth and you can't escape it."

After the boss finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ze fixedly, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Xia Ze didn't speak, he was taken aback by the boss's words, just like what Tenonio said to himself just now, he really couldn't escape the reality.

If you are dissatisfied with reality, then change it.

"Thank you." Xia Ze looked at the bar owner and said sincerely.

He said this from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't know why he said it, he always felt that after getting drunk yesterday, he seemed to have a lot less trouble, although there was one more trouble.

"You don't need to thank me, just don't tell Annie that you have been here to drink." The bar owner squinted his eyes and smiled, and whispered in Xia Ze's ear.

"Annie?"
