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

When the final whistle sounded, the whole of Britain seemed to be electrified by an electric current of joy.

From busy city streets to quiet country lanes, from historic pubs to modern skyscrapers... every corner is filled with cheers and laughter.

This is not just a victory in a football game, but the realization of a nation's collective dream.

The English Football Association announced at the first opportunity that a grand parade would be held on the day the England team returned home.

But how can the fans wait?

48 years of waiting, the moment the whistle blew, it erupted like a volcano. Now, at this moment, I don’t want it to cool down for even a second...

On the night of the championship... the lights were bright, the crowds were bustling, and the whole city began to wake up.
Fans dressed in brightly colored team uniforms, with their faces painted with the colors of the national flag, walked out of their homes, bars, schools, and hotels…

London's Big Ben rang the bell of victory, and the melodious and solemn sound echoed over the city.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the colorful lights illuminated the entire sky, as if announcing the glory of Britain to the world.

On the streets, the sound of car horns and cheers intertwined to form a noisy and cheerful symphony.

Along the Thames, cruise ships and private yachts set sail, hung with colorful flags, banners and bouquets, creating a festive atmosphere.

On the promenade along the coast, families brought their children, the elderly walked hand in hand, and young people gathered in groups of three or five. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Central London has quickly become the focus of the whole of Britain…

In Trafalgar Square, a huge screen played post-match interviews and highlights of the game, and the surrounding buildings were illuminated by lights, creating a solemn and festive atmosphere.

Thousands of fans gathered here.

They waved the national flag, sang the national anthem, and the children imitated the goal-scoring moves of Xia Qi, Rooney, Luke Shaw... Especially Xia Qi's butt shot, which had many imitators.

Some people even brought bells, drums and other musical instruments, turning the square into a huge stage. They sang the World Cup theme song, and the song resounded throughout the city.

Traffic in the entire city of London was paralyzed!
Far from London, celebrations were equally enthusiastic in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and other cities.
On major social media platforms,
The topic #England wins the championship# quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list.

Countless netizens posted various celebratory texts and pictures, some made funny videos, and others wrote affectionate poems.

Young people shared their celebration moments on short video platforms, while older people wrote their comments on the game in newspapers.

Amidst this national carnival, the heroes of their country held a small-scale celebratory cocktail party in a local private club in Brazil, which was affectionately called a "private party" by the media.

This was a small gathering where family members were welcome. Poor single guy Xia Qi could only hide in a corner alone to watch "Tom and Jerry" with the children.

However, fate always works unexpectedly. At this highly secretive party, Xia Qi met Savannah Blade, the elf girl who had asked for his autograph at the Maracana Stadium.

(Ivanka didn’t allow me to write it, so I could only make a revision.)
Beautiful women always leave a deep impression on people. Xia Qi recognized her at the first sight, although he didn't know how she appeared in this private party that was not open to the public.

But this did not prevent Xia Qi from having a relaxed and enjoyable conversation with the children amid their laughter.

Share each other's dreams and confusions,

That night, Xia Qi thought he had found a companion to talk to, so he wouldn't be lonely on such a warm and festive night.

Many years later, I realized that it was a life companion and an eternal, warm and beautiful memory.

British paparazzi are really not easy to deal with!
Private clubs are not private!
The front page of the next day's Sun was not about England's title win after 48 years, but "Arsenal's little prince is suspected of having a daughter out of wedlock, and the family of three had a late-night tryst."

Oh, God!
The two-year-old girl in the photo in The Sun is Gerrard's third daughter.

Captain Jie wants to live a life of two people, and leaves his three daughters to the "dog dad" - Xia Qi.

1 How can 9-year-old Xia Qi take care of others?
Savannah Blade became his helper, and thus this beautiful misunderstanding took place.

However, fans are more willing to believe The Sun.

This is human nature!
Xia Qi’s phone was bombarded with calls, including from his parents, agent, friends… Damn, why was Captain Jie even included?
He doesn't even recognize his own daughter, right?
...

...

The English people couldn't sleep on the night of winning the championship!

The bigwigs in the football world are also sleepless.

In a luxurious villa in Madrid, Florentino, the president of Real Madrid, was thinking with a glass of wine, but the originally sweet taste had become tasteless.

Florentino has a habit of collecting superstars. As the head of the Galacticos who has the "dream of making his son the emperor", he has always been arrogant and decisive in the transfer market.

Xia Qi, the hottest new star in the market, naturally attracted his attention.

Looking at James Rodriguez's transfer in another time and space, it is clear how much Florentino is interested in new stars.

Moreover, in this time and space, Xia Qi's achievements far exceed James Rodriguez's. His appeal to Real Madrid and Florentino is far greater than that of James Rodriguez at that time!
However, in 2014, Ronaldo's market value had not been fully exhausted, and Florentino was unwilling to let him leave.

But Xia Qi did not want to be anyone's "second brother", which touched Florentino's bottom line, causing Xia Qi's transfer to be stranded before the World Cup.

On the night of the championship, Florentino regretted it. He felt that he had lost several small goals. He silently turned off the TV, thought for a moment, and then called Real Madrid coach Zidane.

"Zidan, I think you are right..." Florentino said in a deep voice.

On the other end of the phone, Zidane responded with delight: "He will definitely grow into a new king of football, and it is very likely that he will be awarded a British lordship before retiring...

Mr. Chairman, the army is always changing, the new generation replaces the old generation, this is nothing. And in this transaction, we did not lose, Xia Qi's market value will only be greater than Ronaldo's, not less. "

Florentino hesitated for a moment and said: "Then restart the negotiations. If necessary, I can go to London and bring him back to the Bernabeu."

"Thank you, boss! You are a great boss! A new Real Madrid dynasty will be born in your hands!" Zidane's voice was full of anticipation.

Meanwhile, at London Colney training ground,

Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke watched the World Cup final with club officials and coaching staff.

Three Arsenal players started the game, which is the pride of the players and the glory of Arsenal.

Kroenke is happy to share this glorious moment with everyone.

When Xia Qi's butt on TV hit the football from the lower left to the upper right, he not only hit the football but also shattered Kroenke's "businessman's heart" with a "bang".

obviously,
Xia Qi's hip shot was not a lucky shot, but a conscious shot.

Damn it!

This kid is covered in weapons!
Damn it!

Sold at a loss!
After two "WTF",

Kroenke is starting to look into the club's summer transfer window.
During the off-season each year, Wenger and his coaching staff only have about three days off.

The salary and contract length of the players in the team

Investigation and evaluation of transfer targets

As well as the work plan for the new season, they all need to deal with it during the off-season. Kroenke initially hoped to "cash in" Xia Qi, but Xia Qi was not in Wenger's summer plan.
Just like if a stock has more than double its profit, shareholders will be eager to cash out, even if they know that this is not the highest point of the stock.

Kroenke is no exception!
But now, he regrets it...

Inside the Continassa training base in Turin.
Allegri, Juventus' new head coach, said to director Marotta and boss Ranieri proudly: "How is it? I said Xia is more cost-effective than Ronaldo, right? With him, we have 90% chance of winning the Champions League, and the remaining 10% is luck."

"Little koi, are you still lacking luck?" Marotta continued with a smile.

Old Ranieri felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw his director and the new head coach working in unison.

What hurts is not that Marotta is not on the same page with him, but that Xia Qi is really too expensive!
"Who has made an offer for Xia Qi now?" Ranieri asked.

"Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United," Marotta replied.

Ranieri frowned and said, "Manchester United are here to raise the price again?" Without waiting for his men to answer, he continued sarcastically:
"Does Rummenigge believe in buying if you can't beat them? Arsenal is not a Bundesliga team, he can't do anything."

In the office, Allegri and Marotta smiled silently.

Old Ranieri sighed: "Gentlemen, we are no longer the 'old lady' we used to be. Competing with Real Madrid will only make us bored."

As a professional manager, Marotta is not completely on the same page with Allegri.

He has to help his boss solve problems, and it would be best if he could achieve a win-win-win situation; if he can't have both, then the boss can only win.

Marotta asked tentatively: "I wonder how Real Madrid will deal with Ronaldo after buying Xia Qi? Maybe we can..."

"No! We can't!" Allegri flatly refused to replace the popular young actor Xia Qi with the famous Cristiano Ronaldo.

Old Ranieri asked doubtfully: "Isn't it said that if one of the two geniuses (Meroscha) is found, the world can be at peace?"

"But the genius Xia Qi is a lucky fish! Look at Arsenal, which has won the Grand Slam. Do you still want Ronaldo?" Allegri retorted.

"But we have no advantage! We have no money and no fame...but that's Real Madrid, the world's number one rich club!" Ranieri said worriedly.

Marotta cautiously suggested: "Then we can only play the emotional card. We can start from the perspective that Xia Qi is of Chinese descent. I wonder if Mr. Lapo and his Chinese girlfriend..."

Ranieri's son Lapo spent five months with Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in 2012.

"What's the use of this?" Ranieri disagreed.

Allegri explained: "Chinese people value feelings. Xia Qi has expressed his yearning for China more than once. Let's give it a try. It's better than competing with Real Madrid for reputation."

Old Ranieri looked at his two favorite players and said to himself: You two are talking nonsense but I have nothing to say!

So a flight from Shanghai to Turin took off soon...

When the England team's plane slowly landed on British soil, the whole country was boiling.

Fans gathered in London from all over the country, with national flags painted on their faces and waving bouquets and flags in their hands, their excitement was beyond words.

Arriving at the hall, the crowds formed a sea of ​​white.

As soon as the players got off the plane, they were surrounded by warm applause and cheers.

Media reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, vied to interview these national heroes.

Captain Gerrard was the first to come out. He smiled and accepted the interview with reporters: "This is incredible, we did it! Thank you to all the fans who supported us. It is your support that helped us win the championship."

The fans chanted every player's name, and every time a player appeared, there would be a cheer.

The young rising star Xia Qi also received special attention, and his performance in this competition made him a new national idol.

Xia Qi said to the camera: "I want to thank my teammates, coaches, and fans all over the world for supporting us. We took this trophy home!"

A reporter from The Sun took the opportunity to ask: "Xia Qi, in addition to football, everyone is also very concerned about your personal life. Is the relationship between you and Savannah Blade as rumored?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qi rolled his eyes helplessly, and the airport arrival hall was filled with thunderous laughter.

Xia Qi: "You guys made up a rumor and you still need me to refute it?"

The reporter answered confidently: "I haven't heard you deny it either?"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's curiosity was aroused.

Xia Qi smiled slightly and answered calmly:

"Gentlemen, that little girl is Captain Jie's third daughter. Some people treat the opposite sex with inhumanity and made me, a 19-year-old boy, be a nanny for the whole night."

The crowd started squealing like pigs again.

Xia Qi continued, "Savannah is an outstanding lady. Thank you for helping me take care of my child, Captain Jie's child."

Everyone squealed like pigs again.

"We do know each other, but we haven't dated yet. I said not yet because I want to pursue her in the near future. Thanks to Captain Jie for giving me a chance to get to know her."

"No!" There was a commotion in the airport, with some female fans crying and yelling, "No!"

Xia Qi spread his hands helplessly: "When I was single, you wrote letters and left messages on Twitter hoping that I would end my singleness as soon as possible. Now I tell you that I am ready to start a new relationship journey, and you say no again..."

There was a rare silence in the airport. A few boys laughed, but were immediately glared at and made to cry by the female fans next to them... The fans were not satisfied with Xia Qi's answer, but the reporters were very satisfied.

The Sun reporter took the opportunity to advertise: "We will continue to follow up on this topic..."

Faced with the shamelessness of The Sun, Xia Qi could only cover his face and retreat.

As the players left the airport one after another, fans began to organize and escort the team bus all the way to Wembley Stadium.

Along the way, more people joined the celebration, and the whole of London seemed to be in a carnival.

The bus convoy slowly drove along the road to Wembley, with celebratory banners and flags hung on the buildings on both sides of the road.

When the convoy arrived at Wembley Stadium, tens of thousands of fans had already gathered there.

They were waiting for the team's arrival and preparing to hold a grand celebration ceremony here.

The players got off the bus and were deeply moved by the scene before them.

They took to the stage of the stadium to celebrate this historic victory with the fans.

Reporters were busy recording the moment and interviewing players and fans about their feelings.

An old fan said excitedly: "I have waited all my life and finally saw England win the championship again. This is the best day of my life."

And a young fan said: "These players are our heroes, they bring us endless pride and joy."

That night, the lights at Wembley Stadium were particularly bright, and celebratory fireworks bloomed in the night sky, spreading the joy of this moment to every corner of the world. (End of this chapter)
