Everton lost this game in Cardiff inexplicably. The whole team was still at a loss until the end of the game. It seemed that they didn't know what happened in the 90 minutes on the court.

Xia Ze didn't listen to Martinez's lecture in the locker room. This is the first time he has encountered such an inexplicable thing since he became a professional player. He can't find the reason for the loss at all. The only explanation is - the curse.

That night, when Xia Ze returned home exhausted physically and mentally, Wang Xiaolin had already prepared a meal and was waiting for his return.

In the past two months, Wang Xiaolin has been learning to cook. Although Xia Ze has also been a white mouse for more than two months, Wang Xiaolin's cooking skills are also getting better and better, and now she can enter the kitchen and exit the hall.

But after Xia Ze entered, although the table was full of delicious dishes and Wang Xiaolin was gentle and considerate, she couldn't lift her spirits.

Obviously, he was still confused and puzzled by the loss of this game.

"Ze, don't think so much, eat first." Wang Xiaolin knew that Xia Ze's mood had been affected, but she still cared to let him eat first, after all, it's not good to be hungry.

Although Xia Ze was in a low mood, he didn't have the habit of venting his anger on others, let alone his girlfriend. So although he didn't speak, he obeyed Wang Xiaolin's words, washed his hands and ate.

"Xiaolin, did you watch today's game?" After eating for a while, Xia Ze felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and he didn't want to affect Wang Xiaolin's mood because of himself, so he took the initiative to speak. But the content is still inseparable from today's game.

"Look, don't think so much, just win the next game." Wang Xiaolin comforted him.

"I just don't understand why we were in such a good state before the game, but we suddenly seemed to be possessed when we got on the court. Can you see anything from watching the live broadcast?" Xia Ze said doubtfully, still frowning .

"I don't know. It feels like you guys haven't woken up on the court. Everyone's performance is a level worse than before. Naturally, Leicester City won." Wang Xiaolin recalled today's game, and she was also at a loss. water.

"So I'm not doing well?"

"After the opening, your performance was pretty good, but as the others were not strong enough, you were gradually submerged in the opponent's defense." Wang Xiaolin said honestly, and didn't say it on purpose because Xia Ze was her boyfriend. good words.

"Oh..." Xia Ze let out a long sigh,

There was a helpless expression on his face.

"I don't think you need to worry too much. You have been winning for a while, and the team seems to be too confident. Now the loss in this game can just remind you that there are still 6 rounds of the league, play well. I will definitely be able to qualify for the European Championship!" Seeing Xia Ze's despondent face, Wang Xiaolin quickly comforted him.

Xia Ze also knew this truth, it was just that he couldn't accept the muddled defeat for a while.

That night, Xia Ze received a call from Zhang Wei, and he often talked with him. Although this best friend and him live in two countries, the relationship between them is still very close.

When Xia Ze received a call from Zhang Wei, his depressed mood disappeared, and he started talking with him.

"Ozawa, congratulations on winning the best player in the Premier League last month." Zhang Wei's simple and honest voice appeared in the microphone.

This is the first time he contacted Xia Ze in April. He also just finished a Portuguese Super League game at the weekend, so he congratulated Xia Ze now.

"Don't talk about it, I lost the game inexplicably just now, and it's useless for me to give the 10 best players in the Premier League." Xia Ze said with some annoyance. bosom.

"Oh, just accept your fate, this is a curse, you can't escape it." Zhang Wei continued to tease him.

"Don't talk about me, you're such a mess at Sporting Lisbon, you're in the top three." Xia Ze avoided touching his sore spots, and quickly changed the subject.

And this sentence is dark enough. The weakest of the top three in the Portuguese Super League in recent years is Sporting Lisbon. Basically, they are ranked third. Sometimes they can’t even make the top three, and this season they are only ranked third. , behind Benfica and Porto.

"Don't insult me. If you had also transferred to Sporting Lisbon, we might have won the championship by now." Zhang Wei was speechless.

"By the way, you have to work harder at Everton. We'll see you in the Champions League next season." Sporting Lisbon, where Zhang Wei is located, can be said to have confirmed the qualifying places for the UEFA Champions League next season, and they also came to encourage Xia Ze at this time.

Xia Ze knows that although the team has not lost hope of qualifying for the Champions League, the possibility of being 6 points behind the fourth-ranked Arsenal is very small, and even the Europa League qualification must be striven for.

Thinking that his good friend will be able to play in the Champions League next season, but he can hardly even play in the Europa League, he can't help but feel a little disappointed.

But in the past two months in the Premier League, Xia Ze also felt that his ability has been greatly improved. Although there is no leisurely game like in the Portuguese Super League before, the fierce confrontation in the Premier League has allowed him to improve his ability rapidly. This kind of exercise is impossible to obtain in the relatively slow-paced Portuguese Super League.

Maybe he didn't transfer to Porto or Benfica, so he missed the opportunity to win the league championship earlier and enter the Champions League stage, but it is also because of this that he can improve his strength in the highly competitive Premier League.

Xia Ze faced the next game with such a mentality. The pressure of the team's winning streak before was completely off the shoulders after the loss of the last game.

Now he only cares about the league in 3 days, and next weekend's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.

On Tuesday, when Xia Ze appeared on the training ground, the head coach Martinez told him an amazing decision: he will not be included in the team's squad for Wednesday's league game, in order to preserve his strength and cope with the weekend's FA Cup semi-final.

After Xia Ze heard the news, he was startled. He originally wanted to take the initiative to invite the game, but thinking that Martinez had to save his energy for the FA Cup on the weekend, he definitely hoped that the team could compete in the FA Cup. into the finals.

After all, the team has not won a championship for a long time, and even a championship like the League Cup has not been able to win.

For Martinez's decision, Xia Ze could only obey. However, the team had a new defeat. Although the next game was at home and they were facing Sunderland, which was not very strong, Xia Ze still felt something was wrong.

Now the team has fallen behind Arsenal by as much as 6 points. In the remaining 6 rounds, they can say that they have no room to lose points, otherwise their goal of breaking into the Champions League will be ruined.
