The Midfield Master

On May 14, 2014, in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, various luxury cars drove through the gate of a large hotel. The people who got out of the car were all in suits and leather shoes, and walked into the hotel lobby energetically.

A white Porsche slowly drove in through the gate and stopped in front of the lobby. Three handsome and tall men got out of the car, two of them were oriental, but they were all taller than the European who was driving.

"Ricardo, it's a good thing you were the one to drive us, otherwise we would have to come here by taxi." Said the tallest Oriental among the three.

"Why are you polite? My family is in Lisbon. How can I not entertain you?" The European named Ricardo was very straightforward.

The three of them chatted and laughed, stepped into the lobby, and under the guidance of the waiter, came to the venue of the party.

These three people, of course, are Quaresma, Xia Ze, and Zhang Wei. Today, all three of them have the opportunity to attend the awards ceremony of this season's Portuguese Super League. They are all candidates for various awards.

"Riccardo, you are here." A middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Martins." The three of them shook hands with the man one by one. Naturally, it was Maritimo's coach Martins. Today, as a candidate for the best coach of the season, he also attended this evening party.

"Mr. Martins, it seems that there are a lot of people today." Zhang Wei looked at the sports figures all around, talking and laughing, and said with some surprise.

"Hehe... It's my first year to attend the award show, and I have no experience like you." Martins said with a laugh, mocking himself.

"Really, I'm very experienced..." Quaresma joked aside.

...

"Ozawa, look, is that Figo?" Zhang Wei said in surprise, pointing to a handsome middle-aged man not far away.

Xia Ze followed Zhang Wei's gaze and saw that it was Figo, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised.

"Look, that's Rui Costa!"

"Nuno Gomez!"

"Eusebio!"

...

Amidst Zhang Wei's yelling, the two of them actually recognized many famous football stars. They couldn't help being secretly surprised, and lamented that such a party is really full of big names.

"Everyone, good evening, welcome to the 2013-2014 Portuguese Super League awards ceremony organized by the Portuguese Football Association. I am your friend, Christine." The host Christine appeared on the stage, wearing a tuxedo , personable.

And those in the audience are all candidates for various awards of the Portuguese Super League. The head coaches of the top three Portuguese Super Leagues are all present. In addition, many of them are candidates for various awards, so the lineup looks quite powerful.

As the dark horse of the Portuguese Super League this season, Maritimo, the head coach Martins and the three players in the team also have the opportunity to attend such an occasion.

Surprisingly, Ai Huang of Maritimo's arch-rival National Team has also entered the list of candidates for the best young player.

After Xia Ze took his seat, he inadvertently saw Ai Huang who was sitting next to him, and saw that the other party's expression was rather cold and arrogant, as if he disdained such an occasion.

"David, look, Ai Huang is here too." Xia Ze whispered to Zhang Wei beside him.

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know, I think he likes to come or not."

Ai Huang seemed to hear the two discussing himself, turned to look at Xia Ze and Zhang Wei, and raised his middle finger to them provocatively.

This provocative behavior immediately angered Xia Ze and Zhang Wei. If Christine was not presenting the award at this time, the two might rush over to beat him up immediately.

But Ai Huang's arrogance is nothing more than that. In the subsequent awards ceremony, Xia Ze, Zhang Wei and Ai Huang were all selected for the award of the best young player in the Portuguese Super League. Xia Ze defeated the others without any suspense. Won the title of the best young player in the Portuguese Super League this season.

When Christine read Xia Ze's name, Xia Ze immediately stood up from his seat, with a smile on his face, and walked onto the stage in a personable manner.

"Xia Ze, congratulations." Christine came over first to shake hands with Xia Ze,

And beside him, there is an elegant middle-aged man in his 40s.

"We asked Rui Costa to present the award to Xia Ze."

"Xia Ze, congratulations." Rui Costa handed the trophy to Xia Ze and congratulated him with a smile.

Xia Ze, who has always been very calm, couldn't help being a little excited at this moment. Rui Costa presented the award to himself!

All players who play in the midfielder position know what Rui Costa's name stands for. The Portuguese player's through ball can be said to be as old as ever.

"Thank you." Although he was nervous, Xia Ze still maintained his proper demeanor.

"I am very optimistic about you, keep playing!" Rui Costa whispered.

...

The awards ceremony continued. Among the subsequent awards, the best coach was won by Martins, the best goalkeeper was Patricio, the best defender was Porto defender Otamendi, and the best midfielder Gaitan was awarded with Xia Ze, Fernando won the competition, and the best striker was Cardoso who won the top scorer.

In addition, Xia Ze's volley shot from outside the penalty area at the last moment in his debut against Sporting Lisbon was awarded the best goal of the season in the Portuguese Super League by the judges, and he won two awards alone.

And Xia Ze and Quaresma also entered the first generation of the best team in the league, and Zhang Wei entered the substitute list. The four masters and apprentices of Maritimo became the biggest winners of this awards ceremony.

After the awards were presented, some people left the field, while most of the rest were communicating with each other, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to get to know more famous players in Portuguese football.

"Xia Ze, Zhang Wei, come, let me introduce Figo and the others to you." Quaresma enthusiastically led Xia Ze and Zhang Wei to those celebrities after the meeting was over, and introduced them one by one.

"Xia Ze, this year's performance is good, keep working hard!" Figo smiled and encouraged them.

...

"Riccardo, how are you doing recently?" An old man with gray hair came over.

"Oh, Mr. Costa, I'm doing well." Quaresma faced the old man and said with a smile.

The person who came was naturally the chairman of Porto, Da Costa. He saw Quaresma and Xia Ze together, so he walked over naturally.

"You have performed very well this season, and I am very optimistic about you." Da Costa said to Xia Ze and Zhang Wei.

"Thank you." Xia Ze responded politely, and Zhang Wei did what Xia Ze did.

"It's a pity that you didn't get into the Champions League last Saturday." Da Costa said with some regret: "I think players like you should go to a team that can play in the Champions League as soon as possible. You can perform on a big stage, such as Porto."

Hearing such an obvious hint from da Costa, the three of them, including Quaresma, couldn't help but feel slightly moved. This is the chairman of Porto inviting the two to join. If they are indifferent, then they are not normal people.

"Thank you, Mr. Costa, for your suggestion. We will consider it carefully." Xia Ze responded politely.

Da Costa felt that he got the response he wanted, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Then I will wait for your decision, and Porto will have your place."

After speaking, he left.

"Xia Ze, this is a good opportunity for you, Porto is really a good team." Quaresma suggested to the two after Da Costa left.

Before the two could respond, a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples came to the three of them. The three of them were very familiar with the appearance of this person. They met only a few days ago. He was the head coach of Benfica, Quick Flores.

When he came, the three of them were a little surprised, not knowing what he intended.

"Xia Ze, Zhang Wei, congratulations." As soon as Flores came over, he congratulated the two of them.

"thanks."

"You have performed very well this season. My team needs both of you. I have already reserved a place for you in planning for next season." Flores stated his purpose directly when he came up.

"Mr. Flores, thank you for being so optimistic about us, but we haven't considered these issues yet, everything depends on our club." Xia Ze said tactfully again.

"Felipe's side, I am confident that I can handle it. As long as you are willing to come, I will give you the main position, and together we will attack for the league championship next season!" Flores whispered.

Even Quaresma, who had nothing to do with it, couldn't help but be moved by it. Benfica, one of the top three in the Portuguese Super League, and the team that won the Champions League twice, their head coach promises you the main position. This temptation is no less than the invitation from Porto.

"Think carefully." After finishing speaking, Flores patted Xia Ze and Zhang Wei on the shoulders, then turned and left.

Before the two had time to digest what Da Costa and Flores had just said, another middle-aged man came to the three of them, and he was the head coach of Sporting Lisbon.

There is no doubt that the purpose of his trip is the same as the previous two, to attract Xia Ze and Zhang Wei.

...

"Xiao Ze, what should we do?" Zhang Wei sat in Quaresma's car, and said to Xia Ze beside him in shock.

"I don't know either, let's see the situation first." Xia Ze didn't have a clear idea at this time, the invitation from the top three in the Portuguese Super League at the same time, and even the promise of the main position, this kind of temptation also made him lost in a short time sense of proportion.

"In fact, these three clubs are very competitive, but Porto has dominated the Portuguese Super League in the past 10 years, so it should be the best choice. However, the other two clubs have promised the main position, which may be better for your development. .As for how you choose, you have to decide for yourself.” Quaresma suggested from the side.

Xia Ze and Zhang Wei shook their heads blankly, and they didn't have any good ideas for a while. They only had one thought at this time, to go back and ask Tenonio for advice.

After the awards ceremony, the 2013-14 Portuguese Super League season officially came to an end. In his career debut, Xia Ze scored 11 goals and 17 assists in all competitions. His performance is very good!
