Football: Don’t talk about feelings, I’m just an AI
Chapter 157: Battle against Manchester United, a hot start
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Xia Qi couldn't figure it out. Winning the championship undefeated was just a beautiful vision or goal of his.
Why did he become arrogant and disrespectful to his opponents in the eyes of Ferguson and Mourinho?
The two of them publicly criticized Arsenal, Wenger, Vermaelen and Xia Qi in the media.
They believe that the Premier League has only started ten rounds, Arsenal has only won ten consecutive games, and the members of the big6 have only won one game against Liverpool. It is disrespectful to the opponent to call for an undefeated championship so early.
The two declared that they would never let Arsenal take away a point in their hands.
Cheryl came to interview Xia Qi again for this purpose. Xia Qi paid one hundred thousand gold and entrusted Cheryl to send a jar of jealousy to the two of them.
There is no such thing as "jealous" among foreigners. Ferguson and Mourinho thought Xia Qi was "seeking peace" and happily accepted the gift and posted photos on their WeChat Moments.
Wanting to show off to others, Wenger's disciple surrendered and convinced Mr. Soft Backstabber to sow discord between the two.
But he inadvertently exposed his ignorance!
First, the Chinese community burst into laughter, and then slowly spread outwards...
The "truth" about jealousy gradually surfaced and quickly became a hot topic. Ferguson and Mourinho suddenly became synonymous with "stupid".
Chinese culture quickly and unintentionally became popular in European countries.
Xia Qi's counterattack was praised and imitated by Arsenal fans. In the following days, Ferguson and Mourinho received a lot of jealousy every day.
The angry Sir Alex asked the security personnel to smash all the vinegar. It is said that Manchester City next door could smell the vinegar coming from Carrington.
It was in this unfriendly atmosphere that the two clubs of Manchester United and Arsenal started their war.
Before the two teams started playing, the fourth round of the English League Cup started with the first whistle.
Premier League teams only participate in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
Manchester United and Arsenal both defeated their respective opponents and both entered the fifth round of the EFL Cup, which is also the semi-finals.
The format of the EFL Cup is very interesting. Except for the semi-finals, which are home and away knockout matches, the other rounds of competition are all single-elimination matches.
The opponents of the two teams in the semi-finals are Newcastle and West Ham United respectively, so the two teams are very likely to meet in the final.
After finishing the digression, let’s return to the highlight of the 11th round of the Premier League.
Manchester United vs. Arsenal at home!
In the 2000s when Liverpool was declining and Arsenal was rising, Manchester United VS Arsenal became the new double club and another "national derby."
The match between the two teams has always been a big event where Mars collides with the Earth.
This round is even more important!
The battle was discussed throughout England.
One is whether Arsenal can win consecutive games or remain undefeated.
Secondly, Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement season is worse than Wang Xiaoer's New Year. This battle is his "war to clear his name" and there is no room for failure.
The third is the Chinese “vinegar” culture.
Fourth, Van Persie’s championship insulator and Xia Qi’s koi characteristics.
So many topics... keep the popularity of the Double Red Club high.
Three days before the game day,
Lu Xiaopang expressed his views on this battle: "We lost the championship last season, and we have a bad start to this season.
Right now, Arsenal are top of the table and we are eighth, and we were beaten twice by them last season.
I know you don't think much of us, but I just want to tell you that Arsenal have only won four of the 12 previous meetings between the two sides.
At Old Trafford, we even achieved 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.
In 2011, we were slaughtered 8:2..."
Lu Xiaopang, who was chatting in front of the interview camera, suddenly couldn't continue the conversation. He thought of Qixi in last season...
Last season they were avenged by Arsenal 3:7 at home. He cried very sadly after the game that day...
However, cooked duck has a tough mouth.
"In short, we still have a psychological advantage against Arsenal."
Van Persie supported Rooney's statement: "We are currently eighth in the league, but we are only 10 points behind Arsenal, and we are only one third of the way through the league. The real winner is the one who laughs at the end.
And we are still at home. No matter what impressive results Arsenal achieve, he will still kneel at Old Trafford.
Because we are Manchester United! We have the characteristic of flying against the wind.”
Van Persie spoke impassionedly and criticized Fang Qiu, and many Manchester United fans liked his tweets.
On the afternoon of the day he arrived in Manchester City, a reporter from L'Equipe caught Xia Qi at the door of the hotel and relayed the views of Van Persie and Rooney.
"Yes, Manchester United is a great team, and Sir Alex Ferguson is indeed an English coach, but what does this have to do with him?"
The reporters laughed.
"I know Rooney likes to drink a drink. Qixi is really not suitable for him. There is a kind of wine in China called Shiquan Dabu wine. I think he will like it."
Xia Qi's remarks became a hot topic that night. I heard that Van Persie was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot...
Many Manchester United fans abused Xia Qi on Twitter, and even more excessively blocked the door of the hotel and abused him. They also crowdfunded a goal prize of 2 euros for each goal. Of course this is awarded to Manchester United players.
...
...
Xia Qi led the ball boy into the stadium amid the boos of Manchester United fans...
In the northwest stand of Old Trafford, there were more than 2,000 Arsenal fans who were traveling with the team. Although their number was small, their voices cheering for Arsenal could penetrate the entire stadium...
"Penguin Sports!"
"Penguin Sports!"
"Penguin Sports!"
"Viewers, welcome to watch the 2013th round of the 2014-11 English Premier League live broadcast for you on the Penguin Live platform in the early morning of Saturday. Manchester United will face Arsenal at home."
"I am your old friend Zhan Jun."
"Hello, viewers, I am Zhang Lu."
"Under the exciting opening music, players from both sides began to enter..."
"Manchester United was double beaten by Arsenal last season and has had a bad start to this season. After ten rounds of the Premier League, they have six wins, two draws and two losses and 20 points, while Arsenal has won ten consecutive games."
"But the strength of the two teams is not as big as the difference in the standings. Tonight's game is evenly matched. Who knows who will win?"
"Zhang guided the Arsenal players to shout the slogan of an unbeaten season before the game. Do you think they can achieve it?"
Zhang Lu replied: "It's difficult. Some records are difficult to surpass. The 03-04 season was actually a situation where two heroes competed for hegemony. But now Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea... are all very strong, and the players at that time did not play as many games. There are so many now, and the competition is not as intense as it is now.
Regardless of Arsenal's unstoppable momentum, as the schedule progresses, players' fatigue will increase, their record will decline, and injuries will increase..."
"Arsenal has suffered a number of injuries, and many media refer to the Arsenal team doctor as a veterinarian?"
"This is Wenger's fault. The professor likes little lolita, and the probability of injuries to little lolita is higher if their bodies are not mature enough..."
"The referee is looking at his watch. The game is about to start. Let's announce the starting lineups of both sides.
Wearing a red jersey, attacking from the left to the right of the screen is the home team Manchester United. Tonight’s starting lineup is their usual 433:
Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Rafael, Jones, Vidic, Evra
Midfielder: Clavelli, Carrick, Giggs
Frontcourt: Zaha, Robin van Persie, Rooney
On the other side is Arsenal wearing yellow jerseys. They attack from the right to the left of the screen. They play a 4231 lineup.
Goalkeeper: Martinez
Left back: Luke Shaw
Center backs: Mertesacker, Umtiti
Right back: Aurier
Defensive midfielder: Gustavo
Organizing midfielder: Arteta
Attacking midfielder: De Bruyne
Left midfielder: Xia Qi
Right midfielder: Gnabry
Center: Balotelli
This lineup is similar to the one against Dortmund in the Champions League. Wenger made some fine-tuning, Cazorla took a rest, and Arteta started. Xia Qi returned to the left winger position. In fact, Wenger should define Xia Qi as a free man in the frontcourt. "
……
"Ding Dong"
"Please host select 'training' or 'competition' mode."
"Contest"
"Please host choose the court position: A forward, B..."
"TO"
"Host, please choose the forward type: A center, B winger, C shadow forward..."
"Detecting the current predicament of the host's team, match the attributes of the host [Assassin Nie Yinniang]."
"When it's over, brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame..."
"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."
"Hang up with one click!"
...
...
On the court, Van Persie felt mixed emotions. Many of the people on the opposite side were his comrades and brothers before. He had struggled with them, chased girls together, and had been happy and sad together...
When I was young and rich, I was the most enviable among them. Now, those people opposite me all drive Land Rovers (double Champions League and Premier League titles.), but I am empty-handed...
Now, the whole world is laughing at their own vision...
...
...
"Beep!"
When the opening whistle sounded, the cheers in the Old Trafford stadium surged like an overwhelming wave, as if they were about to tear down the roof of the entire stadium.
"The game started and Manchester United kicked off first.
In this stadium, the two teams once fell in love with each other. Manchester United once gave Arsenal a bottle of Lafite 82, and Arsenal responded with a bottle of Seven-Up.
In recent years, the duel between the two teams has always been full of drama, just like the collision of thunder and earth fire. I guess tonight’s game will also be very exciting..."
on the field,
Rooney passed the ball to Van Persie after the whistle. Xia Qi was as fast as a cheetah, jumping out of the Arsenal camp at an astonishing speed and rushing towards Van Persie.
Van Persie felt the threat from Xia Qi and did not dare to delay at all, and quickly passed the ball back...
Xia Qi did not give up, passing by Van Persie like lightning and chasing the football.
At this time, Manchester United player Carrick had just dunked the football at his feet.
Xia Qi rushed towards him like a tiger descending a mountain, so fast that he had no time to turn around.
Fortunately, Carrick was not an ordinary person. In the flash of lightning, he sidestepped lightly, and Xia Qi missed him.
However, Xia Qiren rushed over, but his right leg stayed behind.
Carrick never expected that Xia Qi would hold back a trick.
Played a drag trick!
At this time, his goal was wide open, and the football was not protected between his feet.
Xia Qi took the opportunity to stretch his legs and swept across the ball with lightning speed, and the football was swept forward by Xia Qi.
"Pretty!"
"Xia Qi stopped playing football."
"Wow! So smart!"
"Xia Qi set a trap for Carrick in the blink of an eye."
on the field,
Xia Qi rushed forward to catch up with the football, and Vidic immediately rushed out of the penalty area.
Facing Vidic's tight defense, Xia Qi's legs swung around the football crazily.
Riding a bicycle.
Vidic couldn't judge Xia Qi's body center of gravity, so he didn't know which move was a fake move and which one was a real move, so he simply chose to take two steps back cautiously.
At this time, Carrick, who had been passed by Xia Qi, quickly came over and prepared to "make dumplings" of Xia Qi.
Just at this time,
Xia Qi suddenly stopped the football, tapped the football with his right foot, and the football rolled to the left.
At the same time, he flashed nimbly, pretending to break through to the left.
Vidic quickly turned to the right to block.
However, this was just a fake move by Xia Qi. He quickly moved the ball to the right and cleverly deceived Vidic.
Vidic saw Xia Qi change direction, and he wanted to change direction too, but his brain and hands and feet were not coordinated, and he stumbled and almost fell.
Xia Qi took the opportunity to speed up and rush towards the Manchester United goal like a whirlwind.
Jones quickly defended Vidic.
Xia Qi, who was sprinting forward, accelerated twice at a high speed and got ahead of Jones. With a tip of his toe, he sent the football behind Jones and went around on the other side.
The ball passed!
"Pretty!"
"Single ball!"
Xia Qi, who rushed into the penalty area, adjusted his pace, looked up at De Gea, and immediately took a shot.
The football flies toward the goal like a cannonball.
Goalkeeper De Gea jumped up and stretched his arms.
However, the ball was too fast and powerful. Although De Gea touched the ball, he was unable to completely save the ball.
The football refracted and flew towards the far corner.
On the other side of the restricted area,
Balotelli relied on the sense of smell of an excellent shooter and was the first to rush to the football.
Volley!
However, Evra is the Cao Cao who "says Cao Cao and Cao Cao comes". When Balotelli started to hit the goal, he blocked Balotelli in time.
"Boom!"
A loud bang!
The football hit Evra and flew outside the penalty area.
Just in time, right on top of Carrick's head as he returned to defense.
Carrick leaped high and stopped the ball with his chest. After landing, he spiked the ball, turned around, and made a long pass.
The football flew towards the Arsenal goal like a cruise missile.
Near the center circle of Arsenal's half, among the crowd of Arsenal's defense, a red lightning bolt stood out from the crowd.
"Van Persie!"
"The linesman didn't raise his flag! Arsenal are in danger."
Martinez was not a passive player, he rushed out of the penalty area.
Van Persie, who was sprinting, glanced at the football flying in the sky, made a judgment, and adjusted his route.
Martinez gritted his teeth and rushed forward, but it was obviously slower. His abandonment was a mistake.
Van Persie didn't choose to shoot because of Martinez's attack. He went his own way and shot with the lever.
The football rushed towards Martinez and towards the Arsenal goal with a gust of wind.
Martinez immediately pounced,
But the ball speed is too fast!
Martinez pounced on the loneliness.
The football went into the empty net behind him.
The ball went in! In!
Manchester United 1:0 Arsenal,
The atmosphere at Old Trafford was instantly ignited, and the cheers and applause from the audience thundered through the sky. (End of chapter)
