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

The Dutch players on the other side looked helpless and confused.

The confusion was not about the hope of advancing due to the score deficit, but the fact that Xia Qi's pace was obviously disordered, but he was able to keep his center of gravity!
This is so unscientific!

Xia Qi thought to himself: I'm already cheating, and you're talking to me about science?
De Vrij, Indi and their teammates kept reciting Xia Qi's pace, trying to find the answer.

However, the more they communicated, the more confused they became. In the end, all the confusion turned into a look of helplessness.

Finally, they came up with an answer for Xia Qi: 100% balance!
This answer is very mysterious, but it is the most scientific. After all, everyone can only have one cadence, this is an immutable law!
……

……

At the referee's urging, the game continued. England was leading by one goal, but they did not choose to be conservative, but continued to fight fiercely with the Netherlands. This was exactly what the Netherlands wanted.

After Van Persie kicked off, Sneijder began to organize the attack.

He cooperated well with Robben and Van Persie on the left, attracting the England defense to tilt to the right.

Then, Van Persie passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Depay received the ball, made a slight adjustment, and shot.

Unfortunately, the ball rolled softly into Joe Hart's arms.

Joe Hart repeated his old trick and quickly kicked the ball to Xia Qi.

After receiving the ball, Xia Qi was about to break forward, but was grabbed by Vlar's waist.

Flair paid the price of a yellow card for this and successfully prevented Xia Qi's breakthrough.

Henderson took a free kick from the backcourt, and Xia Qi headed the ball to Walcott in the frontcourt.

The latter received the ball and made a cross from the bottom. Rooney quickly moved into the penalty area and tried to get in front of the goal, but failed to touch the ball.

Xia Qi was brought down by De Vrij when he was trying to score at the back post, but the referee did not award a penalty.

At this time, Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen also followed suit and made a long pass to find Van Persie.

Van Persie stopped the ball with his chest forty meters in front of the goal and kicked it before it hit the ground.

The football rushed towards the England goal like a cannonball. Joe Hart leaned sideways to save the ball, like a roc spreading its wings. At the moment the football was about to fly into the net, he lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"This is a world-class save!" commentator Huang Jianxiang shouted excitedly.

"If England can advance tonight, Joe Hart will deserve at least half the credit," the fans lamented.

Then, Sneijder took a corner kick from the right side, Jagielka headed the ball out of the penalty area, and Henderson immediately cleared the ball with a long foot.

At the same time, the final whistle of the first half sounded, and the score was temporarily fixed at England 3:2 Netherlands.

Xia Qi waited for Joe Hart at the player's tunnel after the game. Although they lost two goals in the first half, Joe Hart's performance was really outstanding.

"Good job, Joe!"

"Hehe! They take their shooting too seriously."

"Haha! Can I break your door by guessing?"

"Xia, you know too much! Bang!"

Joe Hart made a shooting gesture towards Xia Qi and added the sound effect of shooting.

At this time, Gerrard interrupted and said, "Robin's goal was definitely a fluke. Staying in the air takes a lot of strength from the waist. Under normal circumstances, he can't play with that much power..."

Gerrard didn't lower his voice deliberately, and it happened to fall into Van Persie's ears. He asked unconvincedly: "Xia's heel shot, isn't it the same?"

Then he added: "My waist and kidneys are good, I can do it seven times a night..."

The two sides did not dwell on the topic any further and parted ways in the aisle.

In the dressing room, Van Gaal criticised the Dutch defence, especially Vlaar.

He was entrusted with an important task but he did not play any role at all and even received a yellow card. To be on the safe side, he could not play in the second half.

Flair felt aggrieved and unhappy that he couldn't play in the second half.

"Am I incompetent? It's because the Communist army is too cunning, okay!"

Van Persie was also very unhappy!
In this game, he was determined to compete with Xia Qi and defeat him.

But in the end, no matter whether it is individual or team, I am the loser. Although this is temporary, it is really unpleasant!

In the England dressing room, Hodgson smiled and praised the players. The tactic was to give the ball to Xia Qi. Don't say this is not a tactic.

Wenger won the Premier League's best coach award just for this!

The 15-minute halftime break seemed to make the fans more energetic!

In the players' tunnel, the singing in the stadium is still so deafening.

The moment Xia Qi stepped out of the tunnel, many Dutch fans shouted premeditatedly: "Van Persie, champion!" "Van Persie, champion!"

The champion was not shouted when Van Persie came on the field, but when Van Persie's arch-rival came on the field. The meaning is self-evident.

Xia Qi, who was not in AI state at that time, instantly turned pale.

Xia Qi responded with a "shame on you" gesture to the Dutch team who was lying on the guardrail of the stands and shaking their fists at him, which drew screams and applause from the English fans.

"Humility" is really not popular abroad!
As the venue was changed, the referee blew the whistle and the game resumed.

After the England midfielder kicked off, after a few precise passes, the ball reached the Dutch half.
Rooney received a brilliant diagonal pass from Luke Shaw at the center circle. Luke Shaw's timing of passing the ball was perfect.

Rooney's position happened to be the weak point of the Dutch team's defense.

In an instant, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Luke Shaw's pass was really beautiful."

"He has a great vision and reads the game very well... Now it's England's chance, let's see how Rooney handles the ball."

Rooney was intercepted by De Jong as soon as he received the ball.

"De Jong, who replaced Vlaar in the second half, was defending Rooney."

"De Jong is a midfielder. When De Jong came on the pitch, the Dutch team actually played a four-back tactic when defending.
When defending, Kuyt and Blind will sink to play as left and right full-backs, and when attacking, they will move forward from the back to play as left and right wing forwards.

Van Gaal made this adjustment obviously to strengthen the defense against Xia Qi. "

After He Wei's commentary, Huang Jianxiang added sharply: "Van Gaal was frightened by Xia Qi's three goals and dared not to play with three defenders. However, four defenders are also difficult, as Xia Qi's success rate in scoring is too high..."

The Chinese fans in front of the TV laughed. Teacher Huang, you are worthy of being like this. Your language is always so direct.

[It’s still more exciting to listen to Mr. Huang’s commentary! That’s right, four defenders are useless. I, Xia Wudi, am invincible! ]

[I used to think Mr. Huang only knew about basketball, but I didn’t expect he also knew about summer chess…]

While the two teachers were explaining, Xia Qi ran over to rescue Rooney.

The two played a wall pass on the right side of the court:

Rooney knocked the ball to Xia Qi, who did not stop the ball but gently pushed it with his instep.
Rooney, who had already passed De Jong without the ball, received the ball and broke through. Blind stepped forward to defend.
Xia Qi pointed his finger forward and asked Rooney to play the wall pass with him again, but Rooney was still not happy.

Tonight, he is the team commander, why should he listen to others?
Pretending not to notice Xia Qi's gesture, he dunked the ball and made a fake move.

However, Blind did not take the chance, and Rooney was unwilling to accept the defeat and challenged Blind.

"Oops, the quick attack is gone!"

"Lu Xiaopang's weakness as a midfielder is his vision and he still lacks the ability to control the entire court."

Sneijder saw that Blind had successfully blocked Rooney on the left (the direction of the Dutch team),
He sneaked to the other side of Rooney, ready to "steal" one.

But Gerrard spotted him and shouted at Rooney: "Wayne..."

"Be careful on your right." Before he could utter these words, Sneijder had already kicked.

Sneijder was about to succeed.
Rooney gently dribbled the ball from his right foot to the left.
When Sneijder's steal was complete, he immediately dribbled the ball back, knocked the ball forward, and passed behind Sneijder, who had lost his balance.

This detour showed his skill, which was equivalent to using Sneijder to play a "pick and roll tactic", using Sneijder to block Blind who was defending him. Originally, the "pick and roll tactic" was a cooperation between the players, but Rooney used the opponent to cooperate, which sublimated this tactic and made it more advanced.

Win applause for yourself.

"Wow, Fatty Lu is really good at this."

Huang Jianxiang, who had criticized Rooney in the previous second, also cheered for Rooney in this second.

After dribbling past the defense, Rooney drove straight into the right side. With the fans' cheers, his adrenaline surged, and he was ready to kill any god he met. He ignored Xia Qi's hand and reached for the ball again.
Push the ball inwards and force it inside.

De Vrij stepped forward to intercept, and Rooney pedaled frantically looking for an opportunity to dribble past the defense.

De Vrij tried to kick the ball several times, but in the end he didn't dare to do so.

suddenly,

Rooney flicked the ball to the left, and as De Vrij leaned to the right, he poked his toes forward.
The football just passed between De Vrij's legs and at the same time he dodged and passed by De Vrij.

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

Rooney's footwork is considered delicate in the Premier League, but it's still a bit rough among the top players!
The force of the poke just now was a little bit too strong!

The football was a little far away from him. The football, which should have been under his control, now became an ownerless thing.

Indy seized this brief opportunity and rushed over quickly.
Both of them raised their legs and kicked the ball at the same time, and the two sides kicked it at the edge of the penalty area.

Rooney immediately let out a very miserable scream, and Indi, not to be outdone, fell to the ground and rolled around holding his thighs.

These two are actually acting!
The force on the foot is not great, as can be seen from the height of the football's flight.
But both of them wanted to make their opponent commit a foul, so they immediately turned into actors.

However, Indy forgot a very important point, he is on the defensive side, and the cost of being an actor is much greater than Rooney...

There was booing from the stands.
"foul!"

"foul"

"foul!"

Fans from both sides shouted at each other in the hope of influencing the referee.

But the referee ignored them and did not blow the whistle, so the game was not interrupted.

The football bounced high but not far and fell into the penalty area.

Suddenly, a white figure cut in from the outside like a ghost, and controlled the ball under his feet amid the screams of the Dutch fans.

"It's Xia Qi!" The Dutch fans screamed and panicked.

Kuyt was half a beat slower than Xia Qi. When he saw Xia Qi stop the ball, he immediately stepped forward to interfere.

Xia Qi's dunk was not good, the ball was touched by Kuyt and bounced up.

Kuyt quickly moved his body to separate the ball from Xia Qi.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qi reacted surprisingly quickly and his response was extremely reasonable.

He raised his legs high, and gently lifted the ball with his toes, passing Kuyt, while quickly turning around to get rid of Kuyt's defense.

The whole set of movements was done quickly and smoothly, and after finishing it, Kuyt, who was defending, hadn't recovered yet.
At this moment, Kuyt's mind was a mess. He didn't understand until Xia Qi shot that he was supposed to be blocking Xia Qi, but how did Xia Qi end up blocking him?
This is something for later, so I won’t mention it for now.

In the live broadcast room,

"Chance!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted loudly!
Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen has been on edge since Rooney broke through.

When he saw Xia Qi cleverly lob the ball around Kuyt, he instinctively took a step forward, and then realized that Xia Qi had trapped Kuyt behind him and was directly facing the open goal.

Cillessen quickly stopped and retreated to the goal line, but the feeling of "disaster is about to happen" could not be dispelled!

Sure enough, when the ball was still in front of Xia Qi's chest, he couldn't wait to swing his right foot and shoot.

At the moment of shooting, Xia Qi opened his arms to keep his balance and blocked Kuyt behind him. His body leaned to the left and he looked like he was about to fall. This posture provided the greatest boost for his right foot.
If you zoom in, you can even see that the football is noticeably dented due to the force.

Volley!

The football shot towards the goal like a cannonball! Cillessen reacted very quickly, but was still powerless to save the situation.

At the moment the ball hits the net,

Whether in the stands, in front of the TV, in the bar, in the school cafeteria or at the barbecue stall, all the fans who supported Xia Qi burst into cheers at the same time, raising their arms and shouting "Champion!"

Although it is only the quarter-finals, there is still some distance to the championship.

But Xia Qi did play with the spirit of a champion!

Turning the chance wasted by Rooney into a goal, this is the luck of the champion!
"Hit the door!"

"The ball is in!"

"England leads by two goals 4:2, tonight's game is almost certain!"

"What a wonderful goal! Kuyt's interception was very timely. He once blocked Xia Qi, but in the end, Xia Qi still resolved it..."

"A dancer in the penalty area, a violent aesthetic! Xia Qi's shot is both deadly and artistic..."

On the court, Rooney was the first to rush towards Xia Qi.

"My assist was beautiful!"

Xia Qi glanced at him coldly, but Rooney didn't feel Xia Qi's disdain. He hugged Xia Qi's neck excitedly:
"Cheer up, don't be so cold, we are already two goals ahead, forget it, forget it, you are the boss, it's okay!"

"And the moment I fell to the ground, wasn't it cool? I thought at the time that once I fell to the ground, you would have a chance."

Xia Qi was speechless. He called the Eagle's Hand the God's Hand. Was it because of his big face?
Kuyt looked up at the big screen in confusion.

I had clearly trapped Xia Qi behind me, so how did he get displaced?
Van Gaal looked at Hodgson with envy and jealousy. He once said that the person he most wanted to coach in his life was Cristiano Ronaldo, and now the answer is Xia Qi!
I am jealous just thinking about it. I can design 18 tactics for Xia Qi, unlike Lao Huo next door who only gives the ball to Xia Qi...

...

...

"Beep!"

The Netherlands kicked off, but England still did not launch a defensive counterattack.

Rooney, who was determined to be the "second", fought very hard after the whistle.

After several passes from the Dutch team in the midfield, he and his teammates double-teamed Blind and successfully intercepted the ball.

After dribbling through the midfield, he passed the ball to Xia Qi.

Just at the moment Xia Qi turned around, Van Persie, who was walking slowly not far from Xia Qi, suddenly rushed out.

A sliding tackle accurately hit the arch of Xia Qi's right foot.

The sudden impact was so severe that even if Xia Qi had used a cheat, he would have rolled to the ground in an instant.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded instantly.

Seeing Xia Qi's miserable appearance, English fans also panicked instantly.

Boos, curses, and cries... resounded throughout the stadium.

Van Persie pulled Xia Qi up with an apologetic look on his face, and when they were very close, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you like my gift?"

Xia Qi, who thought it was an accident, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Playing dirty?
If you can’t win openly, then resort to underhand tactics?

Ah!
Suppress all disobedience!
Anyone who offends me will be punished! (End of this chapter)
