Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI

Chapter 100 Habai was reduced to mud and dust, but only Messi remained as fragrant as ever! (Transitional text)

The UEFA Champions League is the highest honor coveted by all European football clubs, coaches, players and even fans.

After Arsenal broke the fate of 16 Lang, the Arsenal fan area and even the entire London and the UK were talking about the quarter-final draw.

In recent days, Arsenal fans could not hide their excitement when being interviewed by a London TV station: "I can't wait to know the result of the draw. I have dreamed of Malaga several times!"

La Liga's Málaga is undoubtedly the weakest among the top eight, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are of course the underdogs.

This fan's speech represents the voice of most people.

Until Xia Qi made a different sound...

On the way to the Colney training base, while waiting for the traffic light, a fan rolled down the window and shouted to Xia Qi: "Malaga! Come on!"

Xia Qi was a little unhappy, but still did not refute.

Arriving at the gate of the Kearney training base, many fans were asking for autographs.

After Xia Qi fulfilled their request, another fan shouted: "Malaga! Come on!"

18-year-old Xia Qi couldn't bear it anymore and felt that he should do something.

Xia Qi replied: "Barcelona! Let's beat Barcelona!"

The fan was stunned on the spot, with that expression: Damn it! It turns out you are an undercover agent!

So Xia Qi explained: "Just because Barcelona is our victim, we have to beat him in the quarter-finals!

I hope our Champions League journey is not just a journey to the title, it should also be a road to revenge.

Of course, if we can meet Barcelona in the final, it is undeniable that it would be more meaningful, but what if Barcelona is eliminated? So we will play Barcelona in the next round!

Because revenge doesn’t last overnight! "

The fans were stunned for a moment and let out huge cheers, "Barcelona!" "Barcelona!" one after another...

Since then, Arsenal fans have divided into two groups. One group is led by Wenger and seeks stability and hopes that the opponent will be the weakest Malaga. The other group is headed by Xia Qi and is a revenge group hoping to draw Barcelona.

There is no right or wrong in the views of the two factions, they just have different positions. Wenger smiled and told reporters: "Young people are not rich, so they don't know how expensive food and rice are. A married man will not have trouble with money..."

...

...

After beating Bayern, Arsenal ushered in the 30th round of the Premier League. Arsenal and rival Manchester United both played one less game.

英超第29轮，俩队因为要打欧冠1/8决赛次回合，阿森纳vs埃弗顿、西汉姆联vs曼联被延期到4月17日进行。

英超第30轮比赛，斯旺西0:2阿森纳，曼联1:0雷丁。

After 30 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester United are still the top two in the standings although they have played one less game.

Arsenal has 23 wins, 4 draws and 2 loss, totaling 73 points.

Manchester United has 23 wins, 2 draw and 4 losses, totaling 71 points.

The point difference between the two teams is still two points.

After the game, Arsenal's application to the Football Association to postpone the 31st round of the Premier League was rejected.

As soon as this news came out, most British media believed that Manchester United would eventually overtake Arsenal.

This is because:

England will face Lithuania at home on March 3, and Arsenal's midfield and frontcourt players will be called up one after another.

此后，阿森纳还要马不停蹄地，迎战：3月30日的英超第31轮，4月3日的欧冠1/4决赛首回合，4月6日的英超第32轮，

11 days, four games!

This intensive schedule will be Arsenal's Waterloo, and except for the "fourth place", Arsenal will habitually fall behind in other competitions. This is Arsenal's tradition, just like Tottenham without a championship.

The Manchester United coached by Ferguson is different. Harvesting points at the end of the season is Ferguson's strength.

The media believe that Arsenal will not be able to survive this hurdle in the end, and it is a high probability that Manchester United will overtake them.

The bookmaker's view is similar to that of the media. They have raised Arsenal's odds and lowered Manchester United's odds.

Van Persie shouted: I am eliminated from the Champions League, the advantage is my slogan!

It sparked a debate about who would have the last laugh, Manchester United or Arsenal.

These are all things for later,

After the 30th round of the Premier League, the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals came as scheduled.

The tournament organizing committee invited all the top eight head coaches and leading stars to watch the ceremony.

That night, Wenger took Xia Qi and flew to Nyon.

In the officially designated hotel, Xia Qi met his idols, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Messi, and Paris Saint-Germain's David Beckham... He also met the young and handsome Uncle Zha, and the magical bird who couldn't deal with Wenger...

Messi is very humble and low-key. Xia Qi has known it for a long time, but he did not expect that Ronaldo also has no airs.

You must know that the media usually uses domineering words when evaluating Ronaldo.

Ronaldo also asked Xia Qi if he was interested in coming to Real Madrid to build a dynasty together.

Go to Real Madrid?

Xia Qi is the cornerstone of the team at Arsenal, how could it be possible...

There was a red carpet show before the lottery ceremony on the second day, and Westerners were required to wear formal attire.

Joanna brought Armani and Versace. Xia Qi felt that Armani was more middle-aged, so he chose Versace.

Walking on the red carpet is arranged in order, and Xia Qi was arranged between Melo.

This sequence uses agent Joanna’s original words: shit.

With Messi in front and Ronaldo behind, who cares who the idiot in the middle is?

Wenger was also unhappy because of this. This was not only a slap in the face of the USM agency (Joanna's company), but also a slap in the face of Arsenal. Wenger believed that if it were Ferguson, the organizer would never arrange it like this.

Xia Qi doesn't care, everything in competitive sports is based on strength. He is a newcomer, and behind him are Arsenal and USM (ninth in the world, first is Star Group Barnett, Mendes is third, Raiola fourth.)

Arsenal, USM and I are not top players, so it is normal for us to be bullied.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the red carpet show began.

First, the head coaches of the top eight teams entered the arena. Wenger's ranking was quite high. He was the first to walk on the red carpet, Ancelotti was second, and Mourinho was third...

It is said that Mourinho even made a fuss over this.

His request is very simple, as long as he ranks higher than Wenger. The story between him and Wenger is too long...

After all the head coaches have left, the players enter. The first one is the handsome uncle Beckham. He is in the front. Melo is undoubtedly the second. Messi is second, Xia Qi is third, and Ronaldo is fourth...

Xia Qi is ranked before Ronaldo not because of his strength or reputation, but because of the need for a buffer between Mei and Ronaldo, just like Ancelotti.

(Anshuai’s future achievements will far exceed those of Wenger and Mourinho, but in 2013, he was the same as Xia Qi, especially the half-time champagne in 05 that transformed him from the second-best coach in the world to a famous coach.

The ability to become a famous coach is also one of the first few, but just like Boateng, when everyone thinks of Boateng, they will think of the famous scene when Messi knocked him down. They always think that he is not good. In fact, Boateng is the best player in the world. . )

...

...

Xia Qi could hear the cheers for Uncle Bei's entrance from a street corner away. Xia Qi was quite envious of Beckham.

European and American men and women generally cannot watch it after they are over thirty, but Uncle Bei is an exception.

About five or six minutes later, Messi's cheers came.

Three minutes later, the black car set off with Xia Qi, turned a corner, and opened the door.

A thunder exploded: "Xia Qi!" "Xia..."

Xia Qi was shocked. Joanna had misled him. He thought that being a foil had no status, so he just went through the motions. Little did he know that "bridesmaids and best men" also have their own particular values.

Whether it is An Shuai or him, they both have some "status in the world" and will not be too far behind the "protagonist".

Xia Qi waved to the fans who called his name, which caused even louder cheers and made him blush instantly.

Walking the red carpet for the first time, Xia Qi was a little nervous and walked very fast. Unlike Messi, who would stop to interact with fans and reporters, he would not move forward without murdering a few rolls of film.

Soon Xia Qi "caught up" with Messi.

Seeing Xia Qi's embarrassment, Messi remembered his first time. He pulled Xia Qi together to let reporters take pictures. As soon as the two of them walked through the door, cheers almost as loud as Uncle Bei's came from behind.

Cristiano Ronaldo enters the field. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are indistinguishable. They have about the same number of fans, but the president's fans tend to be more female, so his voice will be louder.

I was with Mero on the red carpet, but when I arrived at the venue, the seating arrangement did not give me this treatment. Mero sat in the first row, and Xia Qi was placed in the third row.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The draw ceremony was hosted by Portuguese legend Figo after the UEFA President's speech.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is done at random, with no avoidance from the same country and no bracketing.

Those who can become the top eight are not too weak.

The draw not only determines the opponent, but also determines the home and away order.

The final result is:

Arsenal vs Barcelona

Paris Saint-Germain vs Juventus

Malaga vs Dortmund

Real Madrid vs Galatasaray

[The teams in front are home and then away]

When Arsenal drew Barcelona, ​​the live camera showed Wenger in the audience.

It could be seen that the professor tried his best to control his expression, but he failed. His smile was uglier than crying.

Arsenal's eight-year war history, five of which were made by Barcelona.

I heard that Barcelona people do three things every day: eat, sleep, and play Arsenal.

It's for sure that Wenger doesn't want to meet Barcelona. He is not Xia Qi, and he wants to take pleasure in grudges. He has to consider the club's income.

The live broadcast footage was also given to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi looked excited and clenched his fists in silent celebration.

In the past few days, the news that Xia Qi wants to touch Barcelona has spread throughout Europe with the British media.

Figo joked: "Arsenal's guests seem to have different views on Barcelona?"

Wenger and Xia Qi are both quite embarrassed.

...

...

After the draw results came out, the British media sighed.

Arsenal got the bottom draw and it couldn't get any worse than that.

Compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona is better than Arsenal!

And Arsenal still plays host first and then guest!

No worse luck.

Almost all sports media ranked Arsenal vs. Barcelona on the front page of the news.

Arsenal has also become the most mentioned word.

There is no way, Arsenal has been miserable in the past few years, falling to Barcelona's butcher's knife every time, but they have made progress this year, taking a step forward and falling in the quarterfinals (soon).

Among the coaches of the top eight teams, only Klopp from Bundesliga Dortmund disagreed.

"The team that can knock out Bayern has the potential to win the championship. This year's Barcelona is not the strongest. It is still unknown who will win in a clash between the two teams."

"You think Arsenal have a chance? But they've lost five times in a row."

"I know they have a very good player in their team - Xia Qi. He is a dangerous man and he can change the game."

Reporter interviews Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova.

"Barcelona and Arsenal have played each other five times and have advanced each time, and this time is no exception.

Of course that Chinese boy is very strong. He is the top scorer in the Champions League.

But we have excellent players such as Messi and Cesc Fabregas, and I also think Messi will be stronger..."

On March 3, Xia Qi, Walcott, and Wilshere went to report for the England national team.

On March 3, Xia Qi played his first national team game at Wembley Stadium.

Xia Qi's parents closed the noodle shop and went to the scene to support their son.

However, Old Man Huo made Xia Qi wait on the bench for 75 minutes.

On the court, the British stars, whose reputation is greater than their strength, were unable to break through the Lithuanian bus defense.

After halftime, England fans started calling Xia Qi's name.

Hodgson was unmoved at first. Until the 75th minute, the score was still 0:0. After careful consideration, he finally replaced Rooney with Xia Qi.

Lu Xiaopang looked unhappy when he left the game...

But Xia Qi's subsequent performance made him "smile from ear to ear."

Arsenal's three young players were full of firepower, Xia Qi scored twice, Walcott and Wilshere each scored a goal.

Finally defeated the opponent 4:0.

Over the weekend, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Wenger took a step and rested the main players.

Arsenal F5 watching the game in the fans' stands.

After the news came out, Manchester United thought their chance had come.

As a result, his attention was all on the Emirates Stadium, and he almost fell down and was almost tied with Sunderland. Fortunately, Van Persie learned that Arsenal defeated Reading 4:1.

With a great burst of strength, he scored a volley and scored the only goal of the game, killing his opponent.

In the end, Sunderland lost to Manchester United 0:1.

In this way, after the 31st round of the Premier League, the points difference between the two sides has not widened.

Ferguson said after the game that he was not in a hurry. The league is a long marathon, and not being pulled down by Arsenal is a victory.

The Premier League is over and the Champions League is about to begin.

Wenger once again locked himself in the screening room, studying frame by frame.

Barcelona looked strong in 2012/13

In La Liga, Barcelona started with 6 consecutive victories.

In the first 19 rounds, 18 wins and 1 draw, leading the second place by 11 points at the halfway point of the league.

After 31 rounds, it has a league-high score of 85 points, far ahead of Real Madrid, and also has the highest points among the five major leagues.

But Wenger saw their weaknesses.

Barcelona's defense is unstable. The team has conceded 60 goals so far, while Arsenal has only 42 goals (league, cup, Champions League.)

Wenger's research found that the reason why Barcelona's defense does not have the style of a strong team is because the average height of their team is only 1.76 meters.

Most of the goals conceded are corner kicks, free kicks and high-altitude kicks.

Secondly, with Guardiola's departure, Barcelona's dominance of the ball has declined when faced with opponents' "grabbing, pressing, and encirclement".

The ball possession ratio of 60% seems to be a little worse than the 65% during the Guardiola period, but in fact it is just that.

Secondly, Barcelona lacks fighting spirit. Barcelona was soft on winning awards during the Guardiola period, and now its hunger for victory has dropped.

Finally, some key players are no longer at their peak.

Puyol is 35 years old, Xavi is 33 years old, Villa is 32 years old, and Iniesta is 30 years old...

The habai is scattered into mud and crushed into dust,

Only Messi remains as fragrant as ever!

It turns out that I owe Xia Qi an apology, Barcelona can beat it!

(One update tonight, another update tomorrow.)
