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

Chapter 11 A forward who is not a good defender is not a good forward

football mecca,

Anfield Stadium.

On match day, the stadium with more than 54,000 seats was packed.

At the press conference before the game, Rogers and Wenger had a "deep brotherhood":
  "Although we only scored one point in two rounds, the players' condition has improved. In the last round, we even drew with the leader Manchester City. In this round, three points is our goal."

"Three draws in a row is unacceptable. We must win against Liverpool or we will exit the title race prematurely."

In this tense atmosphere, although the two teams are not mortal enemies, the Red Army fans gave them the "enthusiasm" that a derby game should have.

Arsenal were booed and cursed from the moment they got off the bus, with Xia Qi taking 80% of the firepower alone.

Xia Qi means that when people sit at home, pots come from the sky.

Arsenal had zero goals for two consecutive rounds. This round, Wen Geyan followed his lead and brought along rookie Xia Qi.

Arsenal: It’s all so bad anyway, let’s be a doctor.

Liverpool: Fuck! Look at us as if we were picking something out of a bag! It's so disrespectful! What kind of onion is that kid?
  Xia Qi lays down his gun!

The boos from the audience hit him like a stormy wave while he was warming up on the court.

"Boy, what else do you have besides your face?"

"You're on the big list because you're selling your ass!"

"Go back, you're not welcome here, sissy."

"... "

"Don't be afraid!" Vermaelen comforted Xia Qi:
  "They are afraid. I have always dreamed of one day becoming a public enemy of my opponents and enjoying the boos from the audience. Unfortunately, there is Van Persie in front of me and you in the back, but not me."

Xia Qi straightened his waist and patted his chest and replied domineeringly: "Captain, these despicable methods are like a chicken and a dog trying to sell Seoul by inserting bids."

Vermaelen: I didn’t understand it, but I was shocked!

If it weren't for your anti-aircraft cannon kick, I would have almost believed you. You are a man who has hit the green beam 26 times in a row.

Xia Qi: There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

...

...

The game started, and Xia Qi was the substitute.

After Liverpool opened the game, they quickly established their home field advantage.

They were aggressive and pressed high throughout the game.

The forward trident: Sterling, Suarez, and Borini constantly interspersed and moved, causing chaos in the Arsenal goal!
  Arsenal was unable to attack and defended across the board.

Liverpool's back line passed the center line easily, and behind them became a vast green grassland.

Wenger glanced at Xia Qi and thought: He did the right thing with Xia Qi. Did Rogers never study Xia Qi, or did he force me to study Xia Qi?

on the field,
  Sterling went down the wing, cut inside, and was intercepted by Cazorla.

Sterling did not hit hard, but passed the football to Suarez who was reaching for the ball inside.

Cazorla immediately turned around when he saw this, preparing to cooperate with defender Gibbs in a "two-on-one" game.

Su Ya was not afraid that he would turn into a sandwich biscuit and slammed into Gibbs fiercely.

Fast and fierce!
  Gibbs intercepts with all his strength!
  Tough versus tough!
  His attitude is correct, but his strength is lacking!
  Suarez was obviously more powerful, and Gibbs staggered back. Not only was he unable to buy time for Cazorla, who was defending on the bench, but he also exposed goalkeeper Manone to Suarez's range.

Suarez did not hesitate, followed closely, and shot the ball directly into the net.

In the 16th minute, Liverpool scored first.

Arsenal, who lost a goal, finally found their own rhythm and began to turn against the away team. However, they met with fierce resistance from Liverpool. The two teams fought together in the midfield.

Arsenal seized the ball again and again, but after Cazorla and Arteta got the ball,
  Unable to find a threatening passing line, they could only reorganize the offense in the midfield and backfield.

Arsenal, which was once so smooth, has become a faltering old lady because there is no tacit understanding between the midfielder and the forwards. This kind of offense looks worrying.

[Look, what is Arsenal playing? 】

[Where was the cooperation that was like mercury pouring down the earth? 】

[After Fabregas, Arsenal lacks a midfield commander. 】

Seeing that Arsenal's offense was in chaos, gun fans on the Internet were talking a lot.

Zhang Lu, the guest host of China’s Penguin Live Platform, has a different view on this.

"Arsenal's midfield is indeed not as good as before, but this chaos is actually a problem with the forwards."

"There is no threat from the forward movement, so sharp counterattacks cannot be passed from the midfield. In fact, Arteta and Cazorla still have medium and long passing ability..."

"Giroud and Podolski's movements, without looking at the jerseys, I thought they were the opponent's defenders. Another forward Gervinho went too far. He simply became invisible. It's better to let Xia Qi start directly. ."

Zhang Lu's partner Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Many fans come here just for Xia Qi, hoping he can play soon."

"If Arsenal are ahead, Wenger will let him play, but if they are behind, out of the protection of young players, I guess there is a high probability that he will not be able to play." On the court,
  Arsenal's several counterattacks were not on point, fueling Liverpool's arrogance.

Their offense is even more unscrupulous, with the two full-backs frequently assisting forward, which makes it possible for you to have two defenders.

Anyway,

Arsenal's striker is powerless!

Completely liberating Liverpool's offense.

In the 32nd minute, Sterling passed the ball with his heel and Suarez scored twice.

Liverpool ended the first half with a two-goal lead.

At halftime, there was silence in the Arsenal dressing room.

Wenger walked in with a serious look on his face.

There was no violent storm, and he slowly said in a story-telling tone: "There is nothing wrong with our tactics, but there are no sparks in the midfield and frontcourt. Both sides do not understand each other's intentions and cannot cooperate."

"Xia Qi, if you play in the second half, can you create a spark of love with Cazorla and Arteta?"

Xia Qi, who thought he would have no chance to play if he fell behind, was stunned, and immediately jumped up from the bench and shouted:

"Boss, I can do it..."

"That's surprising, I thought you would be like us and just have sparks with girls."

"what…"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

"That's not the case, Boss..."

Xia Qi did not expect that Wenger, who had always been rigorous in his studies, would actually joke.

Seeing his teammates laughing happily, Xia Qi seemed to understand something again.

Older gingers are more spicy!
  Wenger started talking about Liverpool's defensive holes on the tactical whiteboard.

"Their back line presses forward and likes to use anti-offside to defend our counterattacks. This is a double-edged sword..."

The second half of the game began.

Xia Qi came on the field to replace Gervinho, and there were overwhelming curses and boos behind him.

Xia Qi hoped that he didn't understand, but he heard it very clearly.

Damn it! dirty!
  I wonder if Van Persie took that stick with him when he left the team... A good man's nunchaku, one stick is yang and the other is yin.

"Ding Dong"

"Please host select 'training' or 'competition' mode."

"Contest"

"Please host choose the court position: A forward, B..."

"TO"

"Detecting the host's team's current predicament, matching the host's [Top of Defense] attributes."

"A forward who is not a good defender is not a good forward. The stronger the defense, the stronger the host."

Xia Qi was stunned, he was playing!
  Torres can live well,
  That's because the head coach arranged for him to play left back.

Wenger asked me to play forward.

Can this be the same?

"Please host choose 'autonomous mode' or 'one-click hang-up mode'"

"Warm reminder: During the hang-up period, the host will automatically complete various indicator actions by the system."

Choose a shit!
  Don't listen to tactical arrangements,

Are you really a professor and not a beast?

It's even more terrible when a refined person gets angry!
  "Please choose the host."

"Please choose the host."

Choose your grandma!
