"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe Xia Ze will play a wonderful game." The bearded man sat on the bar and said to the young bartender.

"He's in such a poor state this season, it's good if he doesn't lose this game!" the bartender said without confidence.

"I think he will score in this game, do you believe it?" A voice came from outside.

Both the bartender and the bearded man turned their heads and saw a short, fat, bald little old man walking in.

"Why are you here? You don't need to open the door to that broken bar?" The young bartender said quite unexpectedly. The person who came was the owner of the Lost Man Bar.

"Don't worry about it, just watch the game carefully, the Xia Ze from last season is coming back." The bar owner said proudly.

The young bartender snorted disdainfully, and seemed rather disdainful.

Xia Ze stood inside the middle circle, preparing to tee off with Deely. Today they are wearing a white away jersey, while the home team Steaua Bucharest is a jersey with red and blue vertical stripes.

Beep——

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

"I won't run away anymore, I want to tell you with my performance that I can help the team win!" Xia Ze secretly said to himself.

The qualifying game started. Xia Ze actively ran for the ball after the opening, but his teammates still didn't seem to trust him and were not very willing to give him the ball.

As a result, Xia Ze, who was originally the core of the midfield, did not gain enough trust from his teammates. Maritimo's midfield seemed to be rusted, and it was very difficult to operate.

After running out of space again and again, Xia Ze still didn't have many chances to get the ball. However, Xia Ze did not give up, because he knew that this was just the beginning of the game. As long as he continued to run out of a good position, his teammates would pass the ball to him, and he would have a chance to regain the trust of his teammates.

But Steaua Bucharest did not intend to give Maritimo a chance to breathe in the midfield. They launched a crazy press in the opening stage.

In the 7th minute of the game, Pereira took the ball in the midfield. Xia Ze had already returned to the center circle and ran out of space to catch the ball. However, Pereira did not pass the ball to him immediately. Under the pressure of the two, the ball was stolen!

Steaua Bucharest quickly formed an opportunity to counterattack,

Three or four players overwhelmed the half court at once.

Seeing that Pereira lost the ball, Xia Ze hurried back to catch up.

However, the Bucharest team advanced very quickly, and they smashed into Maritimo's penalty area with three or two kicks. At this time, Pereira, who was intercepted, turned around and fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, trying to intercept the opponent's ball.

The player of Steaua Bucharest was shoveled to the ground with the ball.

Beep!

The referee blew his whistle and quickly ran into the penalty area, pointing firmly with his right hand to the 12-yard point.

penalty!

The referee resolutely awarded a penalty kick. After Pereira's own ball was intercepted, he chased the foul and gave Steaua Bucharest an excellent opportunity!

"You should pass the ball to Xia Ze!" Sasha ran out and shouted at Pereira.

He was quite angry about Pereira's mistake.

And Martins was also on the sidelines with a livid face, watching this scene gloomyly. He didn't expect that his player would be so unprofessional, even after several months of incident, he still refused to trust Xia Ze again.

Pereira held his head in frustration, and didn't even respond to the referee showing him a yellow card. He was obviously annoyed by his decision just now.

Steaua Bucharest did not waste this opportunity and the penalty was won overnight.

1 to o.

Steaua Bucharest took the lead in the 9th minute.

"Damn it! Pereira, you idiot, you should pass the ball to Xia Ze!"

After the Stars scored a penalty, the camera showed Pereira, and the bearded man in the bar yelled. Other fans also scolded Pereira one after another, seeming to agree with what the bearded man said.

"Pass the ball to Xia Ze!" Martins on the sidelines shouted at the players on the court: "Give him the organization, you have to trust him!"

Pereira still looks frustrated, he is still annoyed that he gave the opponent a penalty.

The game resumed and Xia Ze kicked off for the second time in the minute, this time he passed the ball directly to Pereira behind him.

After Pereira got the ball, he slammed it across to captain Brigle on the wing.

The star striker quickly pressed up, and Briggle could only pass the ball back to Pereira.

"Here! Pass the ball to me!" Xia Ze ran out of space again and shouted at Pereira for the ball.

"Give him the ball, idiot!" the bearded man yelled again in the bar in Funchal. Shouting with him, there are other fans present.

Pereira hesitated for a moment, pushed the arch of his foot, and passed the ball to Xia Ze in front of him.

Martins, who was nervous on the sidelines, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pereira took the initiative to pass the ball to Xia Ze.

Because of Pereira's hesitation, when Xia Ze got the ball, the opponent's midfielder was already pressing up. He had no room to turn around with the ball, so he could only knock to the left and give it to Artur, while he quickly turned around run forward.

Artur understood, and immediately cooperated with Xia Ze to hit the wall and pass the ball back to Xia Ze.

With the support of his teammates, Xia Ze, like a dragon entering the sea, quickly broke through to the opponent's frontcourt with the ball. Quaresma on the left has also run out of space, and he passed the ball over the top without hesitation to Quaresma's feet.

Driven by Xia Ze, Maritimo immediately set off a wave of attacks.

Quaresma broke through the opponent's two players in a row on the left. After getting out of the gap, he shot a goal, rubbed the left post and flew out of the baseline, almost equalizing the score for Maritimo.

Although he failed to equalize the score immediately, Xia Ze played an important role in this attack, and his teammates also felt that his state seemed to be back.

In the following games, teammates including Pereira gradually regained their trust in Xia Ze. Every time Xia Ze ran out of space to ask for the ball, he would pass the ball to his feet and let him organize the attack.

And Xia Ze did not disappoint the trust of his teammates. When he got the ball in the midfield, he changed his poor state in the previous few games. Whether it was ball control or delivery, he completed it very well. Leading Maritimo to launch a wave of offense and attack the gate of the Stars.

Relying on the momentum of the home court, after the Stars scored a goal in the opening minute, Xia Ze gradually regained the advantage of the midfield through passing organization during this period, and the possession of the ball will also go to Maritimo's feet.

"Oh! Xia Ze made another beautiful escape. His performance today is so good, it is completely different from the poor state of the previous few games. The South China Tigers from last season are coming back!" Christine couldn't help after Xia Ze made a breakthrough. exclaimed.
