As soon as the training ended the next morning, Xia Ze saw several men walking into the training ground, some of them carrying cameras and camcorders. You can tell at a glance that these people are from the official Premier League.

Because I already knew yesterday that I was the best player of the month in the Premier League, and I knew that they would come to present the award today, so it is not surprising that the whole team saw them appear.

The teammates did not leave, but gathered around one after another, preparing to watch the ceremony and present the awards.

"Roberto, congratulations to you and your players." A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Frank." Martinez also shook hands with him with a smile on his face.

Behind Frank was his assistant, carrying a suitcase in both hands, so he could only nod to Martinez and the other two.

"Oh, Xia Ze, congratulations, your performance this month is great." Frank saw Xia Ze standing behind Martinez, and hurried over to give Xia Ze a warm hug.

"Thank you." Xia Ze was taken aback by the other party's enthusiasm, but he still thanked the other party politely.

"What a great guy. The Premier League needs young talents like you. The Premier League welcomes you." After Frank gave Xia Ze a warm hug, he still did not forget to praise Xia Ze, which made Xia Ze feel a little embarrassed.

"Mike, take out the things and don't affect the team's training." After the courtesy, Frank said to the assistant behind him.

Mike, who was carrying two boxes, immediately opened the box and took out two trophies from the box, both of which were the best trophies of the month in the Premier League, one for the coach and one for the player.

Because the two Premier League best awards this month are in the same club, it saves them effort.

The trophy is a silver and white semicircle with a blue eagle in the middle. The base is engraved with the winner's name and other information.

"Come on, Xia Ze, congratulations." Frank handed the trophy to Xia Ze's hand.

When Xia Ze took the trophy, he found that it was quite heavy. At this time, the photographer is also taking pictures of himself.

After Martinez also received the trophy, Xia Ze took a photo with his coach. With applause and cheers from the side, the brief awards ceremony ended.

"Okay, I won't bother you any more. Let's work hard, but don't let the spell of 'Best of the Month' be defeated." Frank joked and left the training ground.

"Best spell of the month?" Frank's last joke cast a shadow over Xia Ze's heart.

The so-called best spell of the month in the Premier League means that the team of the player or coach who won the best award in the Premier League in the previous month will definitely perform poorly in the first game of the next month. It is commonplace, and it is very lucky to get a draw, so it is called the best spell of the month.

Now the best coach and best player of the Premier League in March are in the Everton team, which also puts more pressure on the Everton team.

Although Xia Ze is not superstitious, it is really difficult to say something like a spell on a football field.

Whether it is the curse of not defending the title after the restructuring of the Champions League, or the famous Gutman curse, Benfica has been unable to get involved in the European champions for more than half a century.

Could it be that his team will also lose in Sunday's game?

An ominous thought popped up in Xia Ze's mind.

However, this idea was quickly dispelled, and Xia Ze followed the team to continue preparing for the next game.

...

On April 5, 2015, Sunday, the 32nd round of the Premier League kicked off. Everton, where Xia Ze is located, will play an away game at the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City, which is deeply in the relegation zone.

Before the game, all the media were optimistic that Everton, which had won 6 consecutive victories, would easily take away three points in the away game, because Leicester City is now ranked last in the league, and the relegation situation is in jeopardy.

In the last 5 rounds, they only won one game, with a poor record of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, almost locked in a relegation spot.

Moreover, Everton has a clear advantage in the confrontation record between the two sides. In the first half of the season, in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Everton at home beat Leicester City 3-0. One of the few big wins of the season.

In this game, the whole team is full of confidence. They want to win this game against Leicester City and continue to oppress the top four teams.

After trekking all the way, Xia Ze followed the team outside the King Power Stadium, home of Leicester City.

The King Power Stadium is a stadium located in Leicester, the single management area of ​​Leicestershire, East Midlands, England. It was opened in July 2002. It can accommodate 32,500 spectators. Every seat in the stadium is not covered. The stadium capacity is England could be in the top twenty.

In fact, this is a relatively small stadium in the Premier League, and there are only 2,000 tickets allocated to the visiting team, which can be said to have greatly weakened the momentum of Everton fans.

But the whole Everton team was full of confidence, and walked into the visiting team's locker room at the King Power Stadium with arrogance. After all, they were a team that was at its peak.

However, unlike his teammates who were full of confidence, Xia Ze's eyelids kept twitching from the moment he set off from Liverpool until he entered the dressing room of the visiting team at the King Power Stadium, and it was his right eyelid.

Left good and right bad, he faintly felt that something would happen, but he had no idea what it would be, so he could only silently follow behind his teammates.

Xia Ze sat anxiously in his seat, changing clothes, putting on shoes, and putting on leg guards.

When he took out the shin guards from the sports bag and was about to put them on, he jumped with both hands, only to find that the straps of the shin guards suddenly broke. This time he felt even worse, and his whole body was frozen there.

The shin guards were newly bought by him, and they have been used for only two months. Why did the straps suddenly break?

He is not a superstitious person, but after playing football, he has many small habits that have brought him good luck. He feels that some details on the court have an important impact on him. This time the strap is broken, which seems to be an ominous sign. .

Adding what he thought of during training a few days ago, Xia Ze was even more disturbed for no reason.

"Xia Ze, what's the matter with you? It's time to warm up." Gibson, who was beside Xia Ze, saw Xia Ze's stunned look, and asked him with concern.

Xia Ze suddenly woke up at this time, quickly raised his head, and found that the teammates around him had already gone out, and Gibson beside him was also dressed and looked at him with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm coming now." Xia Ze quickly responded, but he was still a little uneasy.
