In the bar in Funchal, the fans of Maritimo also exclaimed in a low voice, but they did not praise Xia Ze aloud, after all, they scolded him before the opening.

Although Maritimo has not yet been able to equalize the score, Martins' frown on the sidelines has been relaxed. Now that the game has gone on for 30 minutes, he can see that Xia Ze has recovered and helped the team completely control the midfield. It is only a matter of time before scoring a goal, so he is not in a hurry at all.

The coach of the star team is frowning, although the team is currently leading the score. Before the game, he knew that Xia Ze's game state was very bad. He thought that Martins' deployment of him would be a trick, and the opening 10 minutes seemed to prove all this.

Unexpectedly, Maritimo activated Xia Ze after conceding the ball, allowing this young Chinese player who shined in the Portuguese Super League last season and was chased by major giants in the summer transfer window to control the midfielder, making the team's The backline is under tremendous pressure.

In the 20 minutes after Maritimo lost the ball, the team created several threatening offenses through Xia Ze, getting closer and closer to the goal.

"At this time, the more you can't be anxious!" Xia Ze said calmly to himself while holding the ball in the midfield.

The team is in control of the situation, so it should create the best scoring chances, and not feel annoyed and impatient because of missed opportunities.

He looked up and observed the frontcourt. Dilly pinned down one of the opponent's defenders, and the two wingers also firmly suppressed the opponent's rear two defenders. There is only one defensive midfielder and one central defender in front of him.

The opponent's midfielder quickly pressed forward, and there was also a star team player approaching behind him.

Xia Ze didn't panic, but took advantage of the opponent's back to grab, quickly pulled his feet, and then moved forward, taking advantage of the opportunity to pass the opponent.

Obviously the opponent didn't expect Xia Ze's kick to be so fast, and under the situation of making an uphill attack, there was no way to turn around to stop Xia Ze's advance.

"Damn it! Go to the defense and don't let him pass the ball!" said the coach of the Stars on the sidelines impatiently. In the previous 20 minutes, Xia Ze had sent several threatening balls, allowing Xia Ze to have space to handle the ball, which was equivalent to exposing his goal to the firepower of the Maritimo striker.

Xia Ze has advanced to the 30-yard area, his eyes are looking in the direction of Quaresma on the left, his body is slightly leaning to the right, and his left foot is ready to feed and pass the ball to Quaresma.

Quaresma inserts at high speed on the left, and the right back behind the opponent can't stop him at all.

A central defender of the star team rushed over immediately, fell to the ground with a flying shovel, trying to kill Xia Ze's pass in the bud.

But Xia Ze looked at the opponent's defender who had fallen to the ground and shoveled, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. His left foot, which was supposed to pass the ball, lightly dunked, cleverly avoiding the star team's central defender's tackle.

After passing the opponent's flying shoveling central defender, Xia Ze had a large gap in the penalty area, and the star team midfielder chasing behind him was at least 5 meters away.

"Xia Ze has a chance to get the ball comfortably outside the penalty area. Quaresma is empty on the left side. Will he pass the ball to him?" Kristin said excitedly after Xia Ze dunked the star team's central defender.

Xia Ze did not choose to pass the ball. After the missed pass just now, Quaresma was already in an offside position, not to mention that there is a large space in front of him now, so there is no need to rush to pass the ball.

He looked up at the opponent's gate, and found that he was now forming a straight line with another central defender and goalkeeper of the star team, and the opponent's goalkeeper's sight was passively blocked!

this is a good chance!

Xia Ze took the ball one step forward, and then adjusted his steps in small steps. His left foot firmly stepped on the grass to the left of the ball, and his right leg swung back high.

Draw the bow and shoot!

boom! ! !

Xia Ze's first shot attempt nearly 30 minutes after the opening, was about 25 yards away from the goal, and he hit the goal with a heavy kick on the back of his foot.

The ball didn't spin at all, and rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal along a straight line!

The goalkeeper of the star team was blocked. When the ball appeared in his vision, it had already hung into the upper left corner of the goal! He could only watch helplessly as the ball hit the net deformed and then fell powerlessly.

"I did it!" Xia Ze knew that the ball would go into the net after he shot himself.

He quickly ran to the Maritimo fans stand, slapped his left chest at the scattered fans, and shouted at them:

"I am back!"

Maritimo equalized the score, 1 to 1!

Quaresma quickly ran over and hugged Xia Ze in celebration. But Martins on the sidelines was quite calm, as if this was what he expected.

"Wow! This is a wonderful long-range shot, the ball went straight to the dead corner, and the opponent's goalkeeper didn't react at all. The Chinese boy Xia Ze helped Maritimo equalize the score. The magical boy from last season is back!" Christine said in the video. After scoring the goal, he explained excitedly.

In the bar in Funchal, Maritimo fans froze for a moment after Xia Ze scored, and then celebrated wildly, hugging each other and shouting "Good job!".

"Look, I'm not wrong, Xia Ze is coming back!" Hugging the bar owner next to him, he said happily to the young bartender.

In the first half, the two sides fought to a 1-1 tie. If it ends with such a score, Maritimo will be promoted. Steaua Bucharest was obviously unwilling to give up. When they were in midfield, they removed a defensive midfielder and replaced them with a midfielder. They wanted to use offense to suppress Maritimo and score again.

In this way, their offensive is indeed very strong, but Maritimo has more chances to counterattack.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Rosario intercepted the ball in the back court and gave the ball to Xia Ze. Xia Ze quickly dribbled the ball through the midfield and led the team's counterattack.

After breaking through the opponent's two defenders in a row, Xia Ze suddenly gave the ball to the left and Quaresma ran out of the open space, and he quickly advanced forward.

Although Quaresma is over 30 years old, he still performed well in the World Cup in the summer. After he got the ball, he ran like lightning, dribbled the ball all the way, and quickly broke through near the bottom line. The opponent's right back could only desperately chase it back.

But Quaresma did not give the opponent a chance to intercept himself. He looked up at the penalty area in the middle, swung his left foot, and the ball curved into an arc and landed in the sky above the 12-yard point.

Deeley grabbed the front point, but the ball flew over his head. When he turned his head away, he found a white figure approaching at high speed from outside the restricted area, it was Xia Ze!

After Xia Ze scored the ball, he ran all the way, throwing off the opponent's midfielder, and Quaresma's ball just landed about two meters in front of him.

If it is a conventional shooting action, it will definitely not reach the ball.

Xia Ze had already had an idea when Quaresma passed the ball. At this time, he kicked his feet hard, and with the inertia of running fast, the whole person flew up.

Diving header!

Xia Ze flew in the air like a bell, and pushed the ball into the goal of Steaua Bucharest. Once again, the goalkeeper of the opposing team did not respond and watched the ball go into the net.

There was dead silence in the stands, save for the excitement of the hundreds of Maritimo fans celebrating.

In the bar in Funchal thousands of miles away, Maritimo fans fell into the carnival, and they had completely forgotten the curse on Xia Ze before the start of the game. At this time, Xia Ze seemed to be their god.

On the TV in the bar, Christine's excited voice came out:

"2 to 1, Xia Ze helped Maritimo reverse the score! Announcing the return of the king!!!" c
