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

The Manchester City stadium was filled with the fans’ chants:

"Xia, bring a dragon!"

"We want to see you eat a dragon alive!"

The Newcastle United players listened to the shouting and although they were angry, they were too weak to vent their anger.

Head coach Alan Pardew's eyes were empty and dull, as if he had lost his spirit, not to mention the players on the field who were wondering "Where am I, what am I doing?"

They just couldn't understand how the competition had turned into something that anyone could do whatever they wanted.

It seemed that as long as Xia Qi wanted to score a goal, they would cooperate like crazy.

In such a "friendly" atmosphere, it doesn't seem too much for Manchester City fans to want to see "eating a dragon alive"...

...

...

In the distant Swansea, Wales, UK, it is the second largest city in Wales.

In the 07-08 season, the local Swansea Football Club, under the leadership of Rogers, successfully won promotion to the Premier League and became the first Welsh team to enter the Premier League.

Rogers is Mourinho's "outsider disciple". In 04, he was appointed as the coach of the Blues youth team because of Mourinho's favor. Two years later, he was promoted to the coach of Chelsea's reserve team.

Tonight, Rogers leads Swansea at their home ground, Wiesfeld Stadium, to face Manchester United, led by his old mentor, Mourinho.

The first half of the match between the two players has ended with a draw and no goals were scored.

During the half-time break, Mourinho learned the result of the match between Manchester City and Newcastle United and learned that Xia Qi had scored five goals in the first half.

"Is there a video of the game?" Mourinho asked anxiously.

"Yes, I'll give it to you after the game," the assistant responded.

"No, I want to watch it now, just watch the highlights. Joe, go arrange the tactics for the players, and use the plan B I designed..."

Assistant coach Joe hurried to the locker room to arrange tactics for the second half, while Mourinho watched the highlights with another assistant coach.

"Xia Qi, why are you here?" Mourinho murmured with a frown.

"Why is Xia Qi's style so different from before?"

"The one-on-one dribble is Xia Qi's signature move. Alan Pardew didn't even arrange for his players to foul. He deserved to be beaten so badly in the first half..."

"It seems that the place where the foul is committed is crucial. De Bruyne and Silva in Manchester City are all experts in taking free kicks, and now there is Xia Qi."

"Our neighbors are becoming more powerful..."

"Boss, the transfer deadline is coming soon..."

"After the game, I called Pogba immediately. We also need to strengthen our forward line. Van Persie, Rooney... all of them combined have not scored as many goals as Xia Qi."

"There is an East Asian guy named Son Heung-min in the Bundesliga who is quite good at scoring goals..."

At the same time, Liverpool's Klopp and Chelsea's Conte, after watching the TV replay, also asked their bosses to pay more to buy players...

As Mourinho, Kondratieff and Kong stepped up their buying spree, the first half of Manchester City's game came to an end.

Xia Qi failed to meet the fans' expectations in injury time, but this did not affect their love for him.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the audience stood up and gave warm applause to the players leaving the field.

However, when the second half started, Manchester City fans found that Xia Qi did not appear on the court again, and the "one-stop" performance they expected could not be realized.

For a moment, there was booing in the Etihad Stadium, while Guardiola in the coaching booth covered his face and laughed.

Despite the absence of Xia Qi, Manchester City still showed strong strength. Lukaku still failed to score his first goal after joining Manchester City, but Sterling's one goal and one assist gave a perfect answer.

In the end, the full-time whistle sounded and Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 7-0.

The lighting in the mixed interview area after the game was dim, but Xia Qi's figure looked particularly tall under the light.

With a smile on his face, he walked calmly towards a group of anxiously waiting reporters.

Reporters immediately surrounded him and put their microphones in front of him.

Xia Qi raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to stay calm, and his deep eyes flashed with confidence.

A reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Xia Qi, do you have anything to say about today's performance?"

Xia Qi raised his lips slightly, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Today's game is an unforgettable experience for me. My teammates gave me great support, and I enjoyed every moment on the court."

Another reporter asked: "Do you have any special feelings about scoring so many goals?"

Xia Qi smiled and said slowly: "It is my duty to score goals. I just try my best. Every goal is the result of our team's efforts. It is not just my credit."

At this time, a reporter asked a sharp question:

"A 7-0 win in the first Premier League game, does this mean that the overall strength of Premier League teams is declining, or is this Manchester City team stronger than Arsenal last season?"

Xia Qi laughed: "If I go to Real Madrid, I will also lead the team to a big victory. I was born to score goals, and it will be the same wherever I go."

Another reporter asked: "The fans have been hoping that you can score a goal, but you didn't fulfill their wish until the end of the game. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Xia Qi laughed heartily: "This is only the first game, how can it reach a climax all at once? Let's see in the next game."

In the dazzling post-match press conference room, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

Alan Pardew sat on the podium with a serious expression.

He slowly said: "Manchester City showed great strength in this game. Xia Qi's performance was amazing."

His voice echoed in the silent hall, as if carrying a heavy weight.

Reporters in the audience raised their pens and cameras to record this moment.

Alan Pardew continued: "His goals and performance showed us a brand new him. Newcastle United seemed a little powerless in front of him, which is a fact that has to be admitted."

At this time, a reporter asked: "What do you think of Xia Qi's future?"

Alan Pardew frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying: "He undoubtedly has great potential. In the future, he may become a more dazzling presence on the field. But football is changeable and everything is still unknown."

He then talked about the team's response strategy: "We will carefully study this game and learn lessons from it. In the transfer market, we will also make adjustments based on actual conditions to cope with future challenges."

After saying this, Alan Pardew stood up and slowly walked out of the press conference room under the flashing lights.

suddenly!

He came back and shouted to the many reporters in the venue:
"Tell those teams who want to compete with Manchester City for the championship to buy players quickly before the transfer market closes!"

"Buy a beast waist that can block Xia Qi's charge... Buy a midfielder who can outrun Xia Qi, buy a defender who won't be fooled..."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for the reporters to respond.

Leaving behind a group of reporters who were still savoring his words,

The discussion about this game and Xia Qi has just begun.

The wind blows!
Rippling the spring water! (End of this chapter)
