The Midfield Master

Chapter 46 Breaking the ball shortage

Maritimo's first game of 2014 has already begun against the University of Coimbra.

After Xia Ze kicked off, he did not rush to attack, but passed the ball to control the rhythm of the game, allowing the opponent to play the game at his own pace.

The University of Coimbra team, like other Maritimo opponents, sent a defensive midfielder to mark Xia Ze. At the beginning of the game, Xia Ze didn't have too much entanglement with the opponent's midfielder, and often moved quickly as soon as he got the ball.

Because most of the energy of the opponent's midfield defense is concentrated on Xia Ze, this allows Artur to have more space to organize the offense.

Atul was originally the core of Maritimo's midfielder before Xia Ze. Now that the opponent gives him so much space to play, Artur will naturally not waste the opportunity.

The offense instigated by Arthur frequently threatened the defense of the University of Coimbra team, forcing the opposing midfielder to divert more defensive attention to Arthur.

Under the ebb and flow, Xia Ze received much less marking and pressing, and immediately had more room to organize the ball.

"Xia Ze is very calm. In the past 15 minutes, he never entangled with the opponent's midfielder. Instead, he created a lot of space for Arthur through his own running. Now the opponent's attention falls on Arthur. Xia Ze Ze has a chance to get the ball!"

While watching the game, Christine praised Xia Ze's performance in the commentary.

Xia Ze took the ball from the foot of defender Rosario, and it was too late for the opponent's midfielder to force him up. He quickly turned around to observe the situation on the field.

At this time, Maritimo's formation has been completely stretched, with players on both sides supporting him, and Pereira, Artur and himself in the middle are in a midfield triangle.

Seeing the opponent's lower back quickly approaching him, Xia Ze thought quickly in his mind.

"You don't need to touch him, you can get rid of him with a simple hit against the wall!" Xia Ze calculated calmly.

When the defensive midfielder approached three meters in front of him, Xia Ze knocked the ball in the middle, gave it to Pereira's feet, and quickly bypassed the opponent himself.

Pereira understood, and immediately knocked back to Xia Ze!

A simple two over one, won Xia Ze a lot of time and space to handle the ball.

Right winger Helton quickly slanted towards the opponent's penalty area. Left winger Sami and center Deeley also ran in the frontcourt. With Pereira beside him, Xia Ze had at least four receiving points for the ball.

Without the slightest hesitation, along the left side of the midfield, Xia Ze launched a ground ball with his right foot, passed straight through the gap between the opponent's left back and central defender, and landed in the rough corner of the penalty area.

Like lightning, Halton's figure quickly passed the opponent's left back from the sideline and appeared in front of the ball.

Xia Ze's through kick directly penetrated the opponent's back line, which suddenly increased the speed of the entire attack.

The defense of the University of Coimbra, who had been accustomed to Maritimo's positional battle before, was caught off guard by Xia Ze's sudden through kick. Maritimo formed a good attack on the right. offensive opportunity.

Holden received the ball and quickly pressed into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Dilly and Sami have quickly pressed into the penalty area to grab points. Outside the penalty area, there is Artur responding in a high position.

"Helton hit a low ball, and Dilly got rid of the defender in the middle to grab a point!" In the studio, Christine nervously explained the game.

"This is a fantastic opportunity!"

"Oh! Let the Colabying University keeper block the ball!"

"But there is still a chance to shoot from the outside, Artur!"

After the ball was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, it landed near the 12 yard point. Arthur was unmarked at this time, and he just pushed and shot to the empty goal!

The spectators at the scene stood up when they saw this wave of offensive, watching the Kolabying University team enter nervously.

Maritimo's bench on the sidelines was also taken aback by this wave of offense, and Martins even stood up from his seat!

"Oh! What a pity, the defender of the University of Coimbra defends the goal,

Block the ball! Maritimo wasted an excellent chance to score. Will this game be like their last home game, only attacking but not scoring? "Christian said worriedly.

"It won't be like the last game, we were able to create better chances!"

After Arthur wasted this opportunity, Xia Ze did not hold his head in frustration as before, but calmly calculated in his heart how to create more scoring opportunities next.

In the next 10 minutes, under the instigation of Xia Ze, Maritimo created several scoring opportunities in a row, but unfortunately they all missed the goal.

What's even more weird is that this time the crossbar and the post once again blocked Maritimo's two must-have goals.

The rest of the Maritimo players seemed a little confused and discouraged by the team's long-term stagnation.

"Maritimo seems to have really fallen into the curse of the home goal frame. At this time, someone must stand up!" Christine sighed after Maritimo missed consecutive scoring opportunities.

Xia Ze attacked again, and he passed the ball to Sammy, who pressed it near the baseline and returned the ball to Ruben Ferreira, who was on the assist.

Ferreira made a direct pass, and Dilly grabbed the spot in the middle!

The opposing goalkeeper strikes and hits the ball.

But the ball didn't fly far, it happened to land at Xia Ze's feet outside the penalty area, there was an open space in front of him, there was enough time for him to adjust his shot!

"Xia Ze got a good chance, he's about to volley, will he score this goal?" Christine stood up nervously again: "Beautiful!"

Xia Ze faced the incoming ball from outside the penalty area, raised his right leg high and backward, ready to volley the ball non-stop!

At this moment, two figures jumped out of the penalty area without thinking about their own lives, and shoveled towards Xia Ze, trying to block the shooting route.

Xia Ze's high-slung thighs fell slightly, and instead of shooting, he stopped and passed, and wiped past the two defenders who were flying to block the hole of the gun.

At this time, only the opponent's goalkeeper who had just returned to the goal was left in front of Xia Ze.

"I'm going to score this goal!" Xia Ze looked at the opponent's goalkeeper with firm eyes.

He pushed with his right foot, and the ball rolled to the far post against the ground. The opponent's goalkeeper quickly fell to the ground to save it, but the ball just slipped past his fingers, and he could only watch the ball roll to the goal.

It took less than a second from the shot to the ball rolling into the net, but this short half a second seemed like half a century to Xia Ze.

When the ball crossed the goal line and rolled into the net, Xia Ze let go of his heart that had been hanging over him.

The stadium of Dos Barreiros was filled with jubilation, and the shock caused by the fans jumping up and cheering in celebration made the stadium seem to shake.

After more than a month, Xia Ze scored again, and it was a goal that broke the demons.

As if it was the first time he scored a goal, he opened his arms and quickly ran to the fans' stands in the corner area, knelt down on his knees, and made a beautiful grass sliding movement to celebrate his goal.

"Well done, Xia Ze!"

"Wow……"

"pretty!"

"here you go!"

Teammates came over to celebrate wildly with Xia Ze. Regarding the situation of being unable to attack for a long time just now, their emotions have been suppressed for a long time. This time Xia Ze helped the team open the scoring and immediately released their pressure.

"Coach, I did it!" Xia Ze secretly said after venting crazily.

"This goal is amazing! Xia Ze's performance was very calm. He easily wiped out the opponent's defender and broke the haze over the Barreiros Stadium with a light push. Maritimo took a 1-0 lead!" After Xia Ze scored a goal, Christine explained excitedly.

After celebrating, Xia Ze started to run back, but when he reached the midfield, he thought of making a heart-shaped gesture from the stands above the coach's bench, which caused a group of female fans over there to be in an uproar. What does gesture mean.

But the two beautiful girls in the stands knew it. After seeing Xia Ze's move, Hua Yan poked Wang Xiaolin's waist in a teasing manner, making Wang Xiaolin shy for a while.

She looked at Xia Ze, and found that the other party was casting gentle eyes on her, she felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, she quickly bowed her head and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing Wang Xiaolin's shy expression, Xia Ze also smiled, and returned to the competition.

After the game restarted, the song "Let him play" sounded again at the Barreiros Stadium, and Xia Ze performed even better in the singing of praising himself.

Maritimo is also breaking two consecutive games without scoring. After wasting many scoring opportunities in this game, he regained his confidence. Every player was very confident in taking the ball and completely suppressed the opponent's offensive.

In the rest of the first half, Xia Ze assisted Deeley to score and locked the score at 2-0 in the first half, entering the locker room with a fairly safe advantage.

...

"Luis, please comment on the first half of the game." Christine said to Figo.

"In the first half of the game, as the score showed, Maritimo completely controlled the situation. But judging from the previous 25 minutes, it was not the case. , The confidence of the players has been shaken a bit.

"It was at this critical moment that the magical boy Xia Ze stepped forward and took the responsibility of the team's goal with his 18-year-old shoulders. He scored a goal very calmly, and the game after that fell completely Maritimo is in control.

"Xia Ze's performance in the first half of the game seemed to be a key to open the door to victory, helping Maritimo break the deadlock under difficult circumstances, and the next second goal was a matter of course."

Figo said unequivocally in front of the TV camera that he analyzed the situation in the first half very thoroughly.

"Yes, the first half of the game was completely Xia Ze's performance. The score of 2 to 0 also made Maritimo fans have one more expectation. When will the new aid Quaresma play in the second half? Okay, Let's wait and see!"
