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

The Netherlands team fell behind by one goal just one minute into the game, but in the next 15 minutes, the offensive factor of the tulips was unlocked and they scored two goals in a row, achieving the amazing feat of overtaking the score.

The Xinshuiyuan Stadium turned into a vast orange ocean the moment the referee ruled that the goal was valid.

English fans are like being on a lone boat in the stormy sea, at risk of being swallowed up at any time.

At this time, the live broadcast director keenly noticed the abnormality of England head coach Hodgson and accurately captured his close-up shot.

I saw the corners of his mouth turned up, and even when the score was behind, he revealed a mysterious smile.

Like secretly rejoicing???
Is the England coach secretly happy about his team falling behind?
It turns out that Xia Qi's change to play as a forward was the player's own idea, and now the result seems to prove that Hodgson was right.

This inevitably made Hodgson feel a little proud, and panicking when falling behind was not what a famous coach should have!
So when England was trailing in the score, Hodgson continued to maintain his British gentleman demeanor.

He continued to cross his legs leisurely, showing the demeanor of a famous coach who was "confident". As if everything was under control, his eyes were firm and deep, making people full of admiration for this old coach.

Even CCTV-5 commentator Huang Jianxiang turned into a little fanboy at this moment:

"Hodgson has always been controversial, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with the old coach. At least at this time he is more like a famous coach than Van Gaal. Van Gaal became more nervous after taking the lead..."

There was another calm and composed person on the court, and that person was Xia Qi.

While the Dutch were celebrating wildly, he walked slowly towards the center circle as if no one was there.

The calm demeanor of him and Hodgson immediately affected all the England players and fans.
The English people, who were panicked by winning and then losing, soon calmed down. The fans began to sing "Song of the Ice Cream Prince" and the players began to smile.

Fans who support England on the Internet also felt reassured by this.

[Old Huo, not bad! You have the demeanor of a great general.]

[This is the confidence brought by strength. ]

[I've already won half of the game. I bet on England to win 4:2 against the Netherlands. The Netherlands has already scored two goals. Now I just have to wait for England to score a hat trick.]

[Fuck! Am I the only one who bought England 2:1 Netherlands? I saw a lot of people queuing up on the rooftop.]

[Only fake fans would buy three goals. Both teams are strong in attack but weak in defense. They need at least five or six goals or even more. Now, three goals have been scored in just 16 minutes. Tonight will definitely be a feast of goals.]

[Fuck! Didn't they say that the England-Netherlands match was an unknown match? What's wrong with me betting on an underdog? How did it become a goal-scoring battle? ]

【…】

...

...

After the game resumed, it was very interesting. Both teams strengthened their attacks at the same time.

England was the side trailing in the score and had to step up its attack, while the Netherlands also wanted to defeat England with one final blow.

So the two sides began a fierce battle!

First, Xia Qi assisted Walcott in a three-man double team.

The latter shot from the right side of the goal, the ball passed the fingers of Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen but was blocked by the far post.

Walcott looked at Xia Qi with an apologetic look on his face. If he had known this would happen, he would have poked the ball into the near corner.
But at the moment of shooting, Xia Qi's outside-foot shot came to his mind. That charming Kua-style arc made him change his poke shot to a dribbling shot.

I realized afterwards that the Quah arc was a show by the seller. Buyers should not show it off because it is an eyesore!

Then the Netherlands launched a counterattack.

It was Robben who broke through on the left and made a cross. Van Persie stopped the ball in the middle of the penalty area and shot, but the ball hit the post and went wide.

The shot that was at close range went wide and Van Persie slapped himself in regret.

Huang Jianxiang laughed in the live broadcast room: "Van Persie's first kick was divine, and the second was ordinary."

Indeed, the Van Persie who keeps shooting is the General Van, while the one who stops the ball and then shoots is just an ordinary person.

After Van Persie missed the opportunity, Sterling reciprocated by heading the ball that Xia Qi had snatched with great difficulty in the crowd five meters in front of the goal.

At this time, he was only five meters away from the goal and there was no one guarding him, but he scored the goal with the level of "the world's best defender".

Hodgson couldn't sit still any longer. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at Xia Qi: "If you want to play as a striker, you have to shoot. If you don't shoot, what's the point of playing as a striker!"

Hodgson's words are biased. Does Xia Qi not want to shoot? In a three-man double team, isn't it a better choice to pass the ball to a teammate who is open?

AI’s optimal selection will not go wrong, but in the eyes of humans, not scoring a goal is a sin!

When Van Gaal saw the "discord between England's generals and coaches", the corners of his mouth were cracked to his cheeks.

He shouted to the players on the court: "Keep double-teaming Xia Qi!"

Huang Jianxiang also felt sorry for Xia Qi: "There was nothing wrong with Xia Qi's playing style, it was just the finishing touch by his teammates..."

online:
[Understand, it’s the European Chinese team! ]

[It is said to be a feast of goals. Just take two steps out. With this technique, it is possible to double the size of the goal. 】

[One fist cannot beat four hands. Either release Xia Qi or put on shooting boots. If you continue to squander Xia Qi's assists, England will be in danger. ]

[Nonsense, do I need to tell you this? ]

[Why change the formation when you don't want to play in the midfield? Are you looking for trouble? 】

In the El Salvador Estadio Nova, although the Dutch team was also strengthening their attack, Xia Qi often attracted two or three defenders.

As this situation increases, England will have more chances.

five minutes later,

Xia Qi received the ball in the middle of the penalty area with his back to the goal.

Behind him, Wedelton and Flair were holding Xia Qi tightly from the left and right.
It was impossible for Xia Qi to turn around and shoot.

Xia Qi did not force a hard turn, but chose to "pass the ball" and transferred the ball to the left.
To Sterling who was making a run.

Sterling's off-ball movement is much better than Xia Qi's club teammate Walcott. This is his talent.

After Sterling received the ball, he sank to the bottom of the wing, and Xia Qi also turned around and "nailed" into the penalty area.
Although the football was transferred and Sterling took Weddletown away, Xia Qi is still the defensive focus of the Dutch team, and he still has two defensive players beside him-Vlaar and Indi.

Flar was in front of Xia Qi, standing between Xia Qi and Sterling.
Indi was beside Xia Qi, standing between Xia Qi and the goal.
The two of them defended Xia Qi clearly, firstly preventing Xia Qi from getting the ball, and secondly preventing Xia Qi from turning around and shooting.

At the same time, Rooney made a run in from the back of the middle, while Walcott was on the right side of the goal.

Sterling was half a body length ahead of Weddletown on the left side.

Weddletown couldn't disrupt Sterling's dribbling, but he tried his best to interfere with Sterling, preventing him from cutting inside.

It seemed like the sinking was done smoothly, but in fact it was all forced.

It was close to the bottom line and it would sink into the pond if it continued to sink!
Sterling accelerated hard, created some space, and passed the ball towards the goal.

Seeing Sterling speed up, Xia Qi immediately accelerated and rushed to the front point, getting in front of Vlaar.

Vlaar and Indi only started moving the moment Sterling passed the ball, and were restricted step by step as they fell behind.

Sterling kicked the ball, and Vlaar went around to defend Xia Qi, trying to make it more difficult for Xia Qi to receive the ball.
Indi followed and continued to defend Xia Qi before turning around and shooting.

From the perspective of the onlookers, Rooney can be seen advancing in the middle, while Xia Qi has almost no angle for shooting.

At this time, Xia Qi is likely to pass the ball to Rooney.

Van Gaal shouted outside the stadium: "Watch out, that stupid fat guy!"

Rooney: ????

Hearing this!!!!
Kuyt rushed towards Rooney, and Vlaar, who was interfering with Xia Qi, was also cautious and secretly moved his position to see if he could disrupt the pass that Xia Qi was about to give to Rooney.

The football flew over, but Xia Qi's legs were spread out without moving.
It's obvious from the look of it that he's going to miss the ball.

The ball was passed to the onrushing Rooney!

Flair no longer hesitated. He took a step ahead and blocked the Xia-Lu connection, so that the football that Xia Qi missed would be missed to him.

However, ideals are always beautiful, but reality is cruel.

When he gave up harassing Xia Qi, Xia Qi, who had gained "freedom", suddenly lifted his left foot up and then retracted it inwards.
He used his heel to knock the football, which was about to miss the goal, towards the goal!

This sudden change caught Flair off guard. He had already rushed to the middle of the road, but he lost his balance and forced to change direction, causing him to fall.

Indi, who was behind Xia Qi, was so close to Xia Qi that his vision was blocked. Xia Qi's movements were so small that he didn't even notice the ball coming towards him.
When the football passed by his feet, he turned his head to look at the goal amid the exclamations of his teammates. However, he leaned back too hard and fell.

The best "movie-watching experience" was actually Rooney who made a run in from the back.
He was in a position where he could see Football, Xia Qi, Flar, and Indi clearly.
When the ball passed the most dangerous area, which was the area defended by Indi,

Rooney couldn't wait to jump up and perform Klopp's celebration move in the air - "Farmer's Three Punches"!
Yes!

The ball is there!

That stupid goalkeeper was powerless to save the situation!
This is Rooney's confidence!

The confidence of a top shooter!
I'm really annoyed by Rooney's pretense!

Ninety-nine percent of people, whether on or off the court, not to mention those watching on TV.

Almost everyone focused their attention on Rooney, as the most exciting thing in football is always scoring goals.

However, seeing Rooney, who made the final shot, acting like a fool and directing his own goal celebration, everyone had a series of "black question marks" on their foreheads.

Fortunately, the referee on duty was not among the 99% of the crowd.

When the football flew into the Dutch goal and splashed waves in the net, the whistle indicating the goal was valid sounded at the same time.

Only then did people realize that the ball was in the net, and both Indi and Flair were lying on their backs on the grass.
ball?
Did the ball go in?
What just happened?
On the field, Rooney landed and flew into the wind with his arms outstretched. If everyone hadn't seen clearly, Rooney had no contact with the ball.
Just looking at his excited look, I really thought he was the one who scored the goal.

Rooney's excitement is justified.

Xia Qi's goal not only equalized the score, he also destroyed the Dutch defensive strategy and re-established England's advantage.

England vs. Netherlands, England certainly has the psychological advantage.

"what!"

"It's Xia Qi!"

"It was a sudden heel shot!"

A moment later, Huang Jianxiang's voice revealed the answer to the fans in thousands of households through the television... (End of this chapter)
