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

Chapter 121 The eve of the battle with Real Madrid (transitional article)
Beep!
"The game is over! Ten years of hard work! Arsenal won the 2012-2013 Premier League championship ahead of schedule with three rounds left in the league. This is the fourth championship in the history of the Arsenal club."

"Before the start of the new season, no one would have thought that Arsenal, which has been competing for fourth place every year, would suddenly emerge, break the two-horse race between Manchester City and bring the championship back to London again after ten years."

After the referee's whistle sounded.

Wenger led the coaching staff into the court, followed by Xia Qi, Wilshere and the substitutes.

"Xia Qi was very excited and carried Wenger around the field with his teammates."

Arsenal fans wildly waved everything they could and roared hysterically.

Some fans couldn't wait for the security personnel to open the guardrail and climbed over it directly.

"The fans rushed into the stadium to celebrate with the players, which reminded me of what Xia Qi said when he first joined Arsenal:

For the championship!

Arsenal was already fourth in the league before I joined, so buying me was, of course, for the title.

At that time, I felt that this kid was extremely crazy. Now, I think young people should have the ambition to pursue their dreams, but suddenly I felt a little sorry for Van Persie. "

[Haha, I can’t stop laughing! Do you have to step on Van Persie if you want to win Xia Qi? I also think young people should have the ambition to pursue their dreams, and at the same time feel sorry for Fan Dazhi. 】

[Support young people’s desire to pursue their dreams +1, feel sorry for Fan’s ambition -1. 】

[Support young people’s desire to pursue their dreams +1, feel sorry for Fan’s ambition -1. 】

……

"Viewers, you are seeing Vermaelen holding the Barclays Award high, but that trophy is fake. The real award ceremony will be held at Arsenal's last home court, which is the 37th round of the game.

Audience friends, I really want to live broadcast the interaction between Arsenal players and fans to you, but our live broadcast time is up, so I can only regretfully say goodbye to everyone. See you at the Champions League live broadcast. "

On the court, Emma and Cheryl, Henry and Bergkamp also came to the court...

When the referee blows the whistle...

"Ding dong..."

"Ding, this game has ended and the rewards are being settled..."

"The host played 85 minutes in this game, with B+ participation, A+ performance, and award: 5 attribute points."

"Host, complete the mission of double-killing Manchester United this season, and the prize will be: Stadium Taboo patch pack."

"Ding, regional legend +1."

"Ding, regional legend +1."

"..."

Wenger did not let the players celebrate for too long. Firstly, tonight is not an awards night. Secondly, they will play against Real Madrid in four days. The players are too excited and their bodies will easily tire.

Back in the dressing room, Wenger made another brief speech.

"Boys, thank you for getting Arsenal back to the top after ten years, but now is not the time to pop the champagne, we still have a test to face.

This test is extremely important to us. I hope everyone will have a good rest after going home at night and don't celebrate, even if the girl is very charming. "

Having said this, Wenger looked at Xia Qi, and a kind laughter sounded in the room.

Xia Qi rubbed his nose and didn't refute, but complained crazily in his heart: Even if I play every night, it won't affect the game, because I don't pay to watch the game.

"Gather at the base at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. We will fly to Madrid at 12 o'clock. Now I will read out the assembly list. Szczesny, Martinez..."

As Wenger's Champions League roster was released, the locker room became quiet. The original joy was gone and the atmosphere became solemn.

Some of this solemnity comes from the disappointment of the defeated players, but more of it comes from the confusion about the journey.

It's so hard to beat the Red Devils at dusk, so wouldn't it be impossible to win against the rising Sun Real Madrid?

...

...

Emma and Cheryl came to cheer, and Xia Qi expressed his gratitude to them after the game.

Xia Qi and Emma are friends on the surface. Although they have not made their relationship public, they can appear together in public.
His underground relationship with Cheryl cannot be exposed, and they only have business contacts in public.

Emma didn't know the relationship between Xia Qi and Cheryl, so she generously invited Cheryl to have a supper together.

But Cheryl agreed, and Xia Qi died on the spot.

Seeing the two beauties across from each other chatting and laughing, Xia Qiqian could dig out a whole room with his toes on the ground.

Moreover, Cheryl's feet were not honest and stretched between Xia Qi's legs under the table.

Eh! A thirty-year-old woman is like a tiger.

This meal was as if he was being sentenced to death. Xia Qi was suffering every second.

After finally sending the god of plague away, the fire of desire that appeared all over his body could not be extinguished. I couldn't bear to torture her on the spot in Emma's nanny car...

The shaking car killed many paparazzi's films.

So much so that Arsenal’s first title in ten years was not even a hot search the next day.

...

...

Madrid, Spain, Real Madrid training base.

Mourinho sat in the projection room watching Arsenal's game against Manchester United and taking notes on his notebook.

"Head, we are leading by four goals. We can play any way we want. We can defend from the bus and defend the four-goal advantage, or we can play with the original lineup. We were able to score five goals against them last time, but we can't score six or seven goals at home?"

Mourinho shook his head with a wry smile: "Arsenal with Xia Qi and Arsenal without Xia Qi are two completely different teams."

"And Xia Qi averages 3.8 goals per game. If you calculate it this way, we are actually not far ahead..."

"Then use Casemiro to defend him. With Fat Tiger's size, he won't suffer a loss against Xia Qi..."

"Do you also think Casemiro can do it? Casemiro and Alonso in the midfield, in the midfield, Modric or 272 in the frontcourt?"

"Modric's rhythm control is much better than 272..."

...

...

On the afternoon of April 4, the entire Arsenal team arrived at Madrid International Airport.

Outside the airport pick-up gate, there were crowds of people, and reporters' cannons were everywhere. As soon as the Arsenal players appeared in the passage and before they walked out of the pick-up gate, the spotlights began to flash quickly like neon lights.

In addition to reporters, most of the people who picked up the airport were Arsenal fans, including many Chinese students.

The emergence of Xia Qi set off a football craze in China.

Football has always had a traffic code in China. Today, when there are no Chinese players in the five major leagues, Chinese Americans have become their spiritual sustenance.

The first people to walk out of the airport were Wenger and his coaching staff. Reporters immediately rushed towards Wenger with microphones in hand.

"I would like to ask: Arsenal must score at least five goals to advance. Are you confident in completing a great comeback at the Bernabeu?"

"of course."

"Mourinho said Arsenal is a doughy team with no fighting spirit and can only play along the lines..."

"I'm glad he thinks so. Ferguson thinks so too. After the game last night, he refused to shake my hand and left angrily. I believe you guys will see the same thing at the Bernabeu three days later. One scene.”

"..."

Then Xia Qi pushed the luggage trolley and walked out with his teammates.

"Xia Qi!"

"Xia Qi!"

"Xia Qi!" Amidst the cheers, there was actually very standard Mandarin.

This made Xia Qi feel extremely friendly, and he soon found a Chinese student with the same appearance as himself in the Wuyangyang crowd.

Xia Qi dug out a few jerseys from his luggage, signed them, and gave them to the international students who were picking them up at the airport. Of course, there was no way for everyone to have one, so he had to just let it happen...

"Xia Qi, we will go to the Bernabeu to support you."

"Haha, you should go to Wembley Stadium to support me."

"Yes, it will definitely happen."

That evening's news:

The Arsenal team arrived in Madrid and settled in Atlético Madrid's Espino training base. (The name was changed to Wanda Atletico Training Center in 16.)
The entire Arsenal team is full of optimism about advancing to the final. Their star player Xia Qi even asked his fans to buy tickets for the final at Wembley Stadium in advance...

As soon as this news came out, 272 was not happy. He uploaded a photo of the 1:5 score of the first round on his Twitter. And with the text: This is an unbridgeable gap!

The meaning is self-evident.

His teammate Cristiano Ronaldo liked it and forwarded it...

Cristiano Ronaldo's influence is beyond the circle, not only people in the football industry like and repost it, but also celebrities in other circles.

Shakira, the famous Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, tennis superstar Nadal, NBA star Gasol... also liked and forwarded Ronaldo's tweet.

Of course, there are also those who support Arsenal, such as former Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas, who left a message on Ronaldo’s Twitter:

This Arsenal is a team that can perform miracles. Eight months ago, no one thought they would be the Premier League champions, but yesterday, they were the winners of the Barclays Cup.

Shakira's boyfriend Pique: We were eliminated by them, why can't you? Five goals could not stop Arsenal's progress.

In addition to those in the football world who support Arsenal, there are also those in the entertainment industry.

Spanish young actress Maria Pedraza:

You and Xia Qi are both my favorite players. I can accept whoever can advance in the end. But what I want to say is that against the goal-scoring fiend Xia Qi, a four-goal lead is not safe.

These messages also pushed the heat of the Champions League semi-finals to a climax.

International Labor Day, Atletico Madrid training ground.

After training, instead of disbanding the team, Wenger called the players together and formed a circle, with him standing in the circle.

“First of all Happy Labor Day to you!”

"Boss, I will give you double salary today."

Wenger nodded with a smile and continued:
"Tomorrow is the semi-finals. This is our second goal. I won't say much about the significance of this game."

"First of all, I want to thank you for letting me stand here. If it weren't for Xia Qi, Will, Mario, and Kevin..."

Wenger read the names of all the players present.

“You are the ones who told me over and over again, Boss, don’t give up.

I think this is good, and this is how young people should be.

Last summer, when I bought Xia Qi, he told me confidently, just like all of you, that I joined Arsenal to win the championship. "

Wenger, who is usually stoic, actually imitated Xia Qi's voice...

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

Wenger waited until everyone had stopped laughing and then continued: "But he succeeded."

Wenger paused, then shouted loudly: "Congratulations, 2013 Premier League champions!"

"Tomorrow evening, I can also congratulate you on achieving your second goal at the Bernabeu, right?"

"Correct!"

"272, Cristiano Ronaldo... I thought it was difficult to score five goals. Is it difficult? We can slaughter Bayern and Barcelona, ​​and of course we can also slaughter Real Madrid. No dragon can escape, because you are the invincible dragon-slaying warriors."

"Warriors, have a good night's sleep. Don't be like someone who makes the trending search results by playing with cars. Stay energetic tonight and slay the dragon tomorrow!"

...

...

At seven o'clock in the evening on May 5, a bus full of Arsenal players slowly drove out of Atletico Madrid's base and immediately fell into a sea of ​​red and white.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the red and white of the Sheets, but the red and white of Arsenal.

Xia Qi, who was sitting by the window of the bus, screamed: "Why are there so many fans?"

This is an away game!
It turns out that the Premier League championship stimulates the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans.

At the same time, Arsenal fans know that the players are very tired physically and mentally after playing three games a week. The only thing they can do is come and cheer.

Under the escort of the fans, we drove into the Bernabeu Square, where of course there was a sea of ​​white.

Red streams flowed into it and were soon submerged by it.

Real Madrid only gave Arsenal 30,000 tickets for the Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people.

Real Madrid has a huge home field advantage.

Sitting in the bus, Xia Qi could clearly hear the Real Madrid team song outside the bus:
"Hala Madrid, come on, Real Madrid,..."

Arsenal's bus drove directly into the stadium.

After getting off the bus, Wenger took Arteta to a press conference.

After Xia Qi and others assembled the golf equipment, they started to warm up.

Before departure, Wenger has announced the starting lineup.

At this time, Europe's largest TV station, Sky TV's Football World column group.

The host introduces the commentators of this live broadcast to fans and friends.

In order to be fair and just, they usually hire one celebrity from each team.

Tonight is no exception, they have invited King of the Ring Raul and King Henry of Highbury who are making money in Qatar.

Both of them were the front-line wingers of the team at the time, and their appearance pushed the ratings of the column to new highs.

"There are less than 10 minutes left before the game. Can you two predict the outcome and trend of this game?"

Henry was the first to speak: "Arsenal must score five goals and Real Madrid cannot score any more, which is frankly difficult.

But football is round. From a probability perspective, there is the possibility of a comeback from a desperate situation, and Arsenal, with the power of the new champions, may really be able to create a miracle at the Bernabeu Stadium. "

Raul: "Although I live in Qatar, I have been paying attention to this year's Champions League. Arsenal is a very sharp offensive team. They eliminated Bayern and Barcelona by a big score.

The competitive level of the two eliminated teams is much higher than that of Real Madrid. The reason why Real Madrid was able to defeat Arsenal by a big score in the last round was because of Xia Qi's red card absence.

Tonight, although Arsenal's goal killer returns, the hole his teammates dug before is too big.

And Mr. Mourinho is good at defense. If Arsenal can win tonight, I won’t be surprised. But if you say Arsenal will advance, then I want to ask Mourinho and his players, tonight, Are you asleep? "

Raul's words are actually very pertinent and represent the views of many Real Madrid fans.

They are not too optimistic that their team will win tonight, but they firmly believe that Real Madrid will advance. After all, the pitfalls before were too big.

"Penguin Sports!"

"Penguin Sports!"

“Viewers, welcome to the Penguin Live Room to watch the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 2012-2013 season on time.
