The Midfield Master

d (Welcome to the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group: 532028645)

Players from both sides have already entered the field. From the time the players lined up, Xia Ze already felt that each of the opponent's players was tall and big. They were stronger than the players of the Australian national team. Almost everyone was taller than Xia Ze. , which made him frown.

"Don't worry, you can play today as you usually do in training." Gibson comforted him. Today Gibson, as a defensive midfielder, will partner with Xia Ze in the midfield.

Xia Ze nodded, but felt a chill blowing in from outside the passage, and couldn't help shivering.

"Okay, let's go!" The referee Clattenburg took the lead into the court with the ball in his hands.

Players from both sides followed and stepped into the field one after another. After Xia Ze came out of the player tunnel, he found that it was raining lightly, and the rain splashed on his body, making him extremely cold.

"Why is it raining?" Xia Ze said, feeling even colder, frowning.

"The weather in England is like this. It won't be cold when the game starts," Gibson said nonchalantly behind him.

Xia Ze couldn't help shaking his head. When shaking hands with Stoke City, he felt that his hands seemed to be shaking.

The weather was too cold, the temperature around 0 degrees, coupled with the rain and snow, made Xia Ze almost unbearable. Ten minutes ago it was still cloudy, but now it suddenly rained, with some snow in it.

Xia Ze was only wearing short sleeves, not even a vest inside, the rainwater was coming in from the collar, and the cold wind was coming in from the sleeves, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

This match will definitely be very difficult, because Xia Ze feels that his feet are numb from the cold.

Beep——

The referee Clattenburg whistled the whistle, and the game began. Xia Ze's first appearance in the Premier League was opened in the rain and snow at the Britannia Stadium.

Everton kicked off first. Because it was an away game and it was cold winter weather, Everton's tactics before the game were based on stability. They did not attack aggressively at the beginning, but organized the midfield.

Barry retreated to take the ball and passed it to Xia Ze near the center circle.

Because of the rain, the field was very wet, Barry's pass was a bit too big, Xia Ze's legs seemed to be frozen, and when he stopped, he was two meters away from his body.

"Oops!" Xia Ze yelled secretly,

A red and white figure immediately pressed up, it was Stoke City's midfielder Nzuozi.

Xia Ze quickly started, trying to protect the ball again before the opponent. But as soon as he exerted his right foot, he found that the field was very slippery, and he didn't catch the grass. After staggering, En Zuozi forced him over.

bang~

En Zuozi's 190's body suddenly bumped into Xia Ze's unstable center of gravity, knocking him to the ground, and even stealing the ball.

Xia Ze was bumped by En Zuoji, and he was thrown to the ground with water all over his body. Just the first time he touched the ball, he was intercepted by the opponent.

"Foul!" A beautiful girl in a down jacket and a woolen hat said angrily in the fans' stand of the visiting team.

She was Wang Xiaolin who was watching the game with her classmates. Seeing Xia Ze being knocked to the ground, she quickly said angrily.

"The referee won't blow it, it's just a normal physical collision." Her classmate said disapprovingly.

Wang Xiaolin watched the game worriedly and stomped her feet angrily.

"Oh! This is a bad stop by Xia Ze. He seems to have not expected that Enzozi will grab so fast. Obviously, the pace of the game between the Premier League and the Portuguese Super League is not at the same level." Redknapp said somewhat sorry to say.

"It may also be because the weather is too cold now, or he is a little nervous when he plays for the first time, so he can't let go. Let's give him some time to see." Gary Neville explained on the sidelines.

"Maybe, but he can wear Everton's No. 20 jersey, and he must show a corresponding performance. You must know that Barkley, the owner of the No. 20 jersey last season, has already played the main force at Chelsea this season." Redeker Knapp said worriedly.

Xia Ze's conceded the ball this time caused an uproar among the audience, not only because En Zuoji led a counterattack, but also because Xia Ze's strength was beyond their expectations. The Chinese players who were placed high hopes by Everton turned out to be so vulnerable.

Martinez frowned on the sidelines, but he didn't yell at Xia Ze.

In the past few days, he has a general understanding of Xia Ze's strength and level, and he has absolutely no problem dealing with the Premier League.

This is his first touch with the ball, and maybe he really hasn't gotten used to the intensity of the Premier League game before letting Enzozi snatch the ball away. He comforted himself in his heart.

Players from both sides on the field, whether they were Stoke City players or Everton teammates, were all surprised by Xia Ze's conceded goal this time.

When the Stoke City players arranged their tactics before the game, they mentioned that they should pay attention to Xia Ze's performance in the midfielder position, but now Xia Ze seems to be weak, which disappointed them.

And Everton's teammates also saw Xia Ze's strength in the previous training, but they didn't expect him to make a mistake at the beginning of the game, and they couldn't help worrying. Because a good start is very important for a player.

Xia Ze was lying on the ground, the rain kept hitting his body, but now he couldn't feel the cold, only a kind of humiliation in his heart. The first time he touched the ball, he was intercepted by the opponent's midfielder. For Xia Ze, this was a great shame.

But just now the ball suddenly accelerated after it hit the ground, but my right foot seemed to be a little stiff, so I didn't stop the ball well.

And I didn't notice En Zuozi's attack just now, as long as I keep my eyes open, I can definitely avoid this situation from happening again.

Xia Ze got up, patted his pants, and immediately ran back to the defense, his eyes full of determination.

After Nzozi took it to the frontcourt, he gave it to Pennant on the right, but Baines immediately went up and intercepted the ball at Pennant's feet.

"Darren, pass the ball to me!" Xia Ze ran to the empty space in the middle circle and immediately asked for the ball from Darren Gibson who was holding the ball.

Gibson looked up and saw that there were no Stoke City players around Xia Ze, so he confidently passed a ground ball to him.

"Be sure to stop this time!" Xia Ze glanced outside from the corner of his eye, and after making sure that no one was approaching him, he immediately prepared to catch the ball.

The speed of the ball was not fast. Xia Ze raised his right foot lightly, but found that it was still a little stiff, but he still stopped the ball at his feet, but there was no way to stop the ball and turn around in one go.

When he adjusted and turned around, Stoke City's midfielder pressed up again. In desperation, he could only knock the ball back to Barry on the other side, and continued to run for the ball by himself. c
