The Midfield Master

Due to the serious injury situation of the team's midfield, the next away game against Sporting Lisbon, the situation is not optimistic. Martins has included Xia Ze, who has performed better and better in training recently, in the team's 18-man roster, and will follow the team to Lisbon on Saturday as a substitute player for the away game against Sporting Lisbon.

And Di Keao and Zhang Wei lost the big list as always. Except that Di Ke'ao was a little bit disappointed, Zhang Wei, who was stubborn, was not upset at all. Instead, he was happy that his brother could be selected for the big list. After taking a bath, Xia Ze and Zhang Wei went to Hua Yan's house for dinner, which they had agreed upon at noon.

"Uncle Hua, I have some good news for you. Ozawa has entered the squad. He will go to Lisbon with the team tomorrow to challenge Sporting Lisbon!" Zhang Wei said excitedly as soon as he entered Hua Yan's house, as if he was in the squad. Xia Ze, but him.

"Really? Congratulations, Ozawa!" Hua Yan, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, ran over excitedly when he heard the news, grabbed Xia Ze's hand, and said with a smile on his face.

Xia Ze was taken aback by Hua Yan's enthusiastic action, and it was even more embarrassing for her to grasp her hands. Although Hua Yan was two years older than him, Xia Ze already regarded her as his older sister, but if he broke away from her hand, it would be a bit rude, and he could only stand there in embarrassment.

"Xiaoyan, tell Ozawa and the others to sit down first. You are still standing there after training. How can you have the strength to play football tomorrow?" Hua Bin said with a wry smile.

It was only at this time that Hua Yan realized that he was holding Xia Ze's hand, and suddenly felt awkward, so he let go of his hand and let Xia Ze and Zhang Wei sit on the sofa.

"Sister Yan, can I borrow your home phone for a while, I want to call home." Xia Ze sat down and said after the embarrassment just washed away by time.

"Go ahead, you haven't called home for a long time, tell your family the good news." Hua Yan said generously.

Xia Ze nodded, picked up the receiver, and dialed his home number.

beep - beep - beep -

"Hello?" A familiar voice came from the phone, but it seemed a little listless.

"Mom, I'm Ozawa, have you eaten yet?"

"Ozawa, is it you? Called back so late, what happened?" Hearing the voice over there was Ozawa, he thought something happened to him, and immediately became nervous.

Xia Ze only thought about the problem of jet lag at this time. It should be past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night at home. Thinking of disturbing his mother's rest, a burst of shame welled up in his heart, and he immediately explained:

"Mom, I'm fine. It's just getting dark here. I forgot the time difference, so I called you."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, how are you living there? Are you used to eating? Is the training hard?" Although Li Chunhua was a little sleepy, she still cared about her son.

"I don't work hard. I met some friends here, and I will also go to her house for dinner. They are all Cantonese dishes. You don't have to worry. I have good news for you. I will enter the team squad for the next game. Tomorrow Going to Lisbon to compete, there may be a chance to play." Xia Ze said with some pride.

"That's good. As long as you play football with your heart, you will surely succeed. Mom believes in you!" Although Li Chunhua didn't quite understand what Xia Ze meant, judging from his slightly proud tone, it must be something Something to be happy about. If it weren't for the middle of the night, she might kill a chicken to pay back the god.

"Mom, it's late, I won't disturb your rest, you don't have to work so hard, I can make money here, and I will send the money back after a while." Xia Ze said with a bit of distress.

"Ozawa, you don't need to worry about Mom. If you have money, save it and use it yourself."

"Understood, you go to sleep."

"OK Bye Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

beep------

Xia Ze gently put down the microphone. In the conversation just now, the voice of his mother, whom he hadn't heard for nearly a month,

And his mother was woken up from sleep in the middle of the night, and still did not forget her concern for him, which made his eyes a little moist.

Hua Yan on the side saw and listened to the conversation between Xia Ze and his mother just now, and looked at the 18-year-old filial son in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.

...

On the second day, Xia Ze packed up his equipment and followed the team on board the passenger plane to Lisbon. The team counts the coach and team members, a total of 25 people, occupying half of the cabin. Maritimo is not a big club, and the location is Madeira Island outside the mainland, so 14 away games in a season need to travel by plane. Everyone, including the coach, stayed in the economy class. Even so, Xia Ze couldn't help but feel excited.

An hour and a half later, the plane landed smoothly at Lisbon's airport, and then boarded the bus that had already been prepared and headed to Sporting Lisbon's home stadium, the Alvalade Stadium.

Along the way, Xia Ze looked out the window and saw a large number of fans wearing white and green jerseys appearing on the street on this sunny weekend. They held the team flag high and sang the team song of Sporting Lisbon in unison; some drank beer and talked and laughed loudly with each other, which made Xia Ze truly feel the charm of Portuguese football.

"This is a feast for the fans, and a festival for football." Xia Ze sighed secretly in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, a convertible car painted white and green passed by the team bus, and there were four Sporting Lisbon fans sitting in the car, their faces painted with oil paint, their hands holding up flags and balls. Scarves, singing the Sporting Lisbon team anthem loudly towards Maritimo's bus, as if to provoke the opponent.

Maritimo's bus slowly approached a huge stadium as fanatical fans demonstrated. Xia Ze can also feel the majesty of this stadium on the bus, the green and white outer wall, the huge arc vault, under the sunshine, people have already felt its grandeur before getting close oppression.

Around the stadium, the endless stream of crowds and traffic, as the game time approached, slowly approached this round building of Xiongwei. In the square outside the stadium, a large number of fans gathered here, chatting and laughing with each other; vendors with various team souvenirs on their bodies, shuttled and yelled among the crowd, creating a lively scene.

The bus stopped at the designated area, and when Xia Ze got off the bus, he felt his muscles trembling slightly due to excitement. When he stepped on the concrete outside the Alvalade Stadium, he even felt his heart beat faster and his adrenaline rush, all because in another hour or two, he might You will be able to set foot on this legendary land for the first time as a professional player.

The first game of my career is dedicated to this stadium that once staged the Portugal-Dutch battle in 2004, and the opponent is Sporting Lisbon, one of the three strongest clubs in Portugal. It is really difficult for people to calm down down.

Xia Ze stood quietly in front of the stadium, looking at this towering building, his face was full of excitement and anticipation, and his body even trembled a little, making him forget that he should follow the steps of the team staff to the visiting team's locker room.

"Hey, kid, are you scared?" Gu Lite came over and patted Xia Ze on the shoulder, and said with a smirk.

Xia Ze's body trembled, and he immediately woke up from his intoxication with the stadium. He could still understand what Gu Li Te said just now. He looked at this fierce guy a little strangely, and shook his head blankly.

"﹟﹠﹩﹪﹡%\u0026$$*\\﹡﹡﹡~..." Gu Lite said something Xia Ze couldn't understand at a very fast speed, then showed a chilling smile, and turned head left.

Xia Ze was a little terrified by Gu Lite's sinister smile, so he shivered and hurriedly followed the team. Gu Lite's real name is Gretel, but since Xia Ze and Zhang Wei got to know him, they still feel that Gu Lite's name is more suitable for him.

As the team entered the visiting team's locker room at the Alvalade Stadium, Xia Ze couldn't help admiring the visiting team's locker room, which was much more advanced and brand new than Maritimo. He even saw a small jacuzzi in the locker room. This is just the visiting team's locker room. How complete is the home team's locker room?

This is the first time Xia Ze has expressed such a sigh. Even in Guangzhou, the gap between R\u0026F and Evergrande is not so big. This made Xia Ze yearn for a bigger club, and made him more determined to show his strength on this big stage.

"Okay, everyone has seen this here, I will tell you the tactics of this game first." Martins stood in front of the tactical board and explained the tactical layout of this game to each player on it with a pen .

The tactical arrangement of this game has been rehearsed countless times in the last week, and every player is familiar with it. But in order to deepen the memory, the process of re-explaining the tactical arrangement must be followed before each game, so that the players can more effectively implement the coach's arrangement.

While wearing jerseys and sneakers, each player listened to the coach's arrangement. Martins does not force the players to listen carefully to his explanation, but just re-emphasizes the key points.

It was the first time for Xia Ze to come into contact with such a detailed and professional pre-match arrangement. For a while, he just watched the coach's gestures and listened to every word with difficulty, but forgot to organize his equipment. Dries poked himself with an elbow before he could react.

"Okay, that's all for the tactical arrangement of this game, let's go out and warm up." Martins turned around and said to many players in the locker room.

But at this time, Xia Ze, who woke up like a dream, was just hurriedly putting on his shoes and clothes.

Seeing this, Martins couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. Red Devils Manchester United Rewards Grain 188 Red Devils Manchester United Rewards Grain 388 Red Devils Manchester United Rewards Grain 188 Red Devils Manchester United Rewards Grain 388 Red Devils Manchester United Rewards Grain 88
