The Midfield Master

After talking with Martins, Xia Ze and Monica also went through the discharge procedures, avoided the reporters stopped by Tenonio, and left through the back door of the hospital.

"Dawei, did you tell my family?" Xia Ze asked worriedly, he was worried that his mother would be worried after hearing the news of his car accident.

"Yes, but I also told my aunt that you are fine."

After Xia Ze heard this, he glanced at Zhang Wei quite unexpectedly, apparently feeling that his handling of the matter this time was surprisingly mature.

"However, Xiaolin's phone can't be reached. I'm worried that she will be worried after seeing the unclear reports from the media." Hua Yan said from the side.

"Can't get through? What's going on?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, I haven't been in the service area."

Xia Ze frowned, took out the phone, and when he was about to make a call, the phone rang.

Boo boo boo boo...

"It's Xiaolin." Xia Ze said with some surprise.

As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Cao arrived. Hua Yan and Zhang Wei had been unable to get through to Wang Xiaolin's phone before, but this time they automatically called Xia Ze.

"Xiao Ze, I'm at the airport, come and pick me up!" Wang Xiaolin's lively voice came from the phone's microphone.

"What airport are you at?" Xia Ze was a little surprised and confused.

"Funchal Airport, come quickly, I'm so hungry..." Wang Xiaolin said coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

"Um, well, just wait a minute, I'll be right there." Xia Ze frowned and said helplessly.

He didn't expect that Wang Xiaolin came to Portugal, and she came without a word.

After he told Zhang Wei and Hua Yan the news, they were also very surprised, and at the same time suddenly realized: No wonder Wang Xiaolin couldn't get through to the phone just now, it turned out that she was on the plane.

Although Zhang Wei was worried about Xia Ze's health and wanted to go with him, but with Xia Ze's refusal and Hua Yan's understanding help, Xia Ze went to Funchal Airport by himself to pick up Wang Xiaolin.

As soon as Wang Xiaolin at the airport found Xia Ze, she dropped the suitcase in her hand and ran towards Xia Ze.

It was rare that there were no other friends around, so Xia Ze and Wang Xiaolin naturally had a firm hug, followed by a sweet long kiss.

The couple, who hadn't seen each other for two or three months, were kissing at the airport.

Although the pedestrians passing by were a little surprised, for the open and romantic Portuguese, these things are not surprising.

After exchanging lovesickness, Wang Xiaolin felt that Xia Ze frowned slightly, as if something was on his mind. Thoughtful, she asked Xia Ze thoughtfully.

Xia Ze told her that he was in a car accident and couldn't start the weekend finals.

When Wang Xiaolin heard that Xia Ze was in a car accident, she couldn't help but let out a cry of worry, but seeing that Xia Ze was not injured at this time, she slowly felt relieved.

"You don't blame me for taking risks with my health, do you?" Xia Ze said with some guilt.

Wang Xiaolin looked at Xia Ze, stroked his face with her right hand and said, "No, as long as it is something you decide, I will support you. I know you have your own sense of proportion."

This sentence was extremely gentle and considerate, which made Xia Ze full of the addiction of a big man being in charge of the house. He couldn't help hugging Wang Xiaolin and kissed him again, which attracted the attention of others again.

In the end, the two walked out of Funchal Airport blushing and took a taxi back to Huayan's house.

In the car, Wang Xiaolin told Xia Ze that she had been admitted to the University of Liverpool and would study in England in the fall. This news surprised Xia Ze, but he secretly made a decision: after the summer transfer window opens, he will seek a chance to transfer to England.

That night, the news of Xia Ze's car accident spread throughout Portugal and even as far away as China through the reporter's press release.

After hearing the explosive news, the Portuguese media quickly printed and published it as the headlines of the next day, and began to predict the impact of Xia Ze's car accident on this game. In terms of the tendency of the game, gradually Optimistic about Benfica winning this final.

On the morning of April 9, Portuguese time, Xia Ze appeared outside the Maritimo training base, and there were already a large number of reporters waiting outside.

Xia Ze quickly avoided the cameras of the reporters and ran into the training base, making the reporters sigh.

However, they did not leave immediately, but they were looking for a place to rest around the training base. They had another task this morning-to attend Maritimo's pre-match press conference.

In the morning training, Xia Ze did not conduct tactical training with the team, but maintained his physical fitness and muscle explosiveness in the gym, which made his teammates very puzzled for a while.

After training in the morning, Martins and Captain Brigle appeared in the press conference hall, but the reporters waiting there did not find the long-awaited figure of Xia Ze.

"Mr. Martins, Xia Ze had a car accident yesterday, is it true?"

Before Martins could sit down, a reporter hurriedly asked questions. Of course, the question was about Xia Ze's incident yesterday. This has become the most focused news in Portuguese football today.

"Ahem... Indeed, Xia Ze had a car accident yesterday, but it wasn't serious. I'm glad he wasn't injured." Martins said calmly, with a soft voice.

"Will he be able to play in Saturday's final?" another reporter asked.

"His head suffered a slight concussion. I don't think he is suitable for Saturday's game. He will not play." Martins said with certainty.

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a small commotion at the scene. Everyone knew about Xia Ze's role in Maritimo.

"Mr. Martins, who do you plan to replace Xia Ze with?"

"This is about my tactical arrangement. I can't disclose it. Our team has many excellent players. Although Xia Ze's absence has indeed had a great impact on us, I believe that other players can also lead the team to defeat the opponent and win the championship. To be the champion this time."

Although Martins said it confidently, everyone present knew that he lacked confidence.

"Quick, it seems that even God helped us this time. Without Xia Ze, Maritimo can't make any waves." The name said with a smile.

"Paul, even though Martins said so, we don't know if this is a smoke bomb thrown by him, and we can't take it lightly." Flores' face was still serious, and he didn't take the news of Xia Ze's absence. very heavy.

"That's true, but our players will definitely relieve a lot of pressure because of this, and it will also benefit our performance." Although Paul nodded in agreement with Flores' opinion, he still couldn't help but feel complacent.

"I hope so." Flores put down the newspaper and said solemnly.

After the news that Xia Ze could not play spread in Funchal, the fans of Maritimo's arch-enemy National team cheered, almost happier than their own team's victory.

Maritimo's fans, on the other hand, were all crying, as if they had lost their chance of winning this game.

Monica was blaming herself while drinking in the bar.

She felt that Xia Ze had a concussion and was unable to play in this game because she was too negligent in driving and loaded onto the tree trunk on the roadside.

His elder brother with a beard and the bartender boy were not in the mood to persuade her, because they also felt a little disheartened because of Xia Ze's absence.

In China, thousands of miles away, after the news of Xia Ze's absence from the final came out, major media expressed their regret.
