When Maxa went to China to lead the Chinese squad in the final stages of the World Cup qualifiers, he disappeared from the mainstream view of the football world.
You couldn't expect everyone to care about the matches of the Chinese team, right?
Yet it was against this backdrop.
On October 7th, Maxa astonishingly led the Chinese men's football team to a 1-0 victory over the formidable Oman, qualifying for the World Cup finals two rounds early!
Milu: ???
At that moment, Chinese fans' adoration for Maxa reached its zenith.
Some enthusiastic fans even shouted at the camera while being interviewed, "Geneva, retreat... no, Maxa, awesome!"
In such a manner, Maxa forcefully returned to the mainstream view of European football, creating a miracle.
In an interview, Maxa expressed his views on the current situation of Lisbon Athletics, "Lisbon Athletics has no problems at all; they are as healthy as Chinese football."
Er... practitioners in the Chinese national team fell silent.
