The news of Xia Ze's transfer to Everton was officially spread through Maritimo's official website at noon.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Portuguese football world was shaken. The last round of matches before the winter break would have been the top battle between Porto and Sporting Lisbon, but it was instantly engulfed by this news.

In Funchal, Maritimo fans were once again furious after hearing the news.

On Monday, the training day, they spontaneously came outside the club's training base and asked Martins and Xia Ze to explain why Xia Ze was about to transfer to another team just after his recovery.

The fans have just fallen in love with him again, and he is leaving, which is undoubtedly the most heartbreaking.

Martins had already expected that the fans of Maritimo would be so excited, so he asked the staff of the official website to issue a notice at the same time as releasing the news of Xia Ze's transfer.

The Maritimo club will hold a press conference in the afternoon to explain the reasons for the sale of Xia Ze to Everton.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Maritimo's press conference was already full of journalists from all over Portugal, and even some British media rushed to Portugal after receiving the news at noon that day.

And some diehard fans of Maritimo also got tickets to the press conference through their connections, and wanted to question Martins and Xia Ze why they made such a decision.

The media release room, which can accommodate nearly a hundred people, is already full at this time, and some people who have no place to sit are standing behind.

Twenty or thirty of them are reporters from various media, and dozens of others are all Maritimo fans who got into the press conference through their connections.

When Martins showed up at the door of the press room, he was taken aback by how many people had gathered inside. It was obvious to him that most of them were not journalists, but he still didn't let them go, but sat down with a smile on his face.

When Martins appeared, everyone looked behind him, hoping to see Xia Ze's figure, but Martins did not let him attend this press conference in order to protect Xia Ze.

"Mr. Martins, may I ask why you asked Xia Ze to transfer to Everton? Is there any conflict between you?" A reporter asked the first question as soon as Martins sat down.

Martins had already anticipated that reporters would ask these sensitive questions,

So he wasn't surprised, he just whispered and said calmly:

"There is no conflict between Xia Ze and I. We get along very well. Let Xia Ze transfer to Everton. We're just getting our summer stuff done."

"Doesn't Maritimo need a player like Xia Ze?" another reporter asked after Martins had just finished speaking.

"There is no doubt that Xia Ze is an excellent player. The team needs him, but he also needs a bigger platform to show his full strength. I think this transfer is for Xia Ze himself, or It is a good choice for the club." Martins said slowly.

"Did Xia Ze take the initiative to ask for a transfer?" A Maritimo fan behind couldn't help asking.

Martins glanced at the fan, but did not refuse to answer the question: "This is the result of discussions between the club and Xia Ze. Maybe he still wants to stay in the team for half a year, but we think it's time for him to leave. After all, Xia Tian also took up a lot of his time."

"So, if Xia Ze stays in Maritimo, it won't be of any help to the team?" The reporter was still obsessed with this question.

"Xia Ze is an excellent player. He led the team to win the League Cup last season. Our team will have his place at any time. It's just that we think he has contributed enough to the team. Now There is a chance for him to show his ambitions, and we should help him go to a higher level." Martins looked at the reporter and said firmly.

...

More than 30 minutes later, the press conference was coming to an end. After Martins answered the last question, he saw that the Maritimo fans were still standing there unwillingly, and there seemed to be no sign of leaving. He breathed a sigh of relief. voice said:

"I know that everyone is very reluctant to part with Xia Ze, and you may still hold grudges in your hearts. But I hope everyone can understand that this transfer was not proposed by Xia Ze on his own initiative, but the move to Everton is a big deal for Xia Ze. Career will be of great help. Saturday will be Xia Ze's last game at the club, and I hope everyone can applaud our hero, even though he has only been in the team for a year and a half."

After Martins finished speaking, he turned and left.

But what he said echoed in the hearts of Maritimo fans. They didn't hate Xia Ze's transfer in their hearts, because after what happened in Xia Tian, ​​they knew that Xia Ze would leave sooner or later, they just couldn't bear it.

Now that Xia Ze's transfer has become a fact, leaving him with the best memories in the last game has become the only choice for these Maritimo fans.

...

On Saturday, December 13, 2014, Maritimo played at home against Braga, at the Stadio dos Barreiros.

"Sister, hurry up, the race is about to start!" A car was just parked in the parking lot when a loud voice came out of the car.

But before the words fell, a burly shout opened the car door, hurried to the rear of the car, and opened the trunk.

And a tall and beautiful girl got out of the car slowly, looking listless.

These two people are Monica and her brother Big Beard. Today's match is Xia Ze's last battle in Maritimo, and Big Beard certainly doesn't want to miss it.

But Monica, who has always been very enthusiastic about Xia Ze, seems to be indifferent to Xia Ze's departure, to be precise, she seems to be disappointed.

The bearded man found that his sister hadn't contacted Xia Ze in the past month, and stayed at home after get off work, which made him very confused. It was he who pulled Monica today, and she was willing to watch this game.

The bearded man didn't care so much, he took out a thick roll of cloth from the trunk of the car, and dragged Monica into the stadium.

A large number of Maritimo fans had already gathered outside the Dos Barreiros stadium. Because it was Xia Ze's farewell match in Maritimo, the tickets had already been snapped up two days ago. Some fans who didn't buy tickets wandered outside the stadium, hoping to meet someone who transferred tickets, even if they were scalpers. The party, they also admit to slaughter. c
