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

After the fierce battle with Arsenal, Manchester City and Xia Qi were like bright stars, shining brightly and unmatched for a while.

The future of Manchester City is no longer about whether they can win the Premier League title, but whether they can become a Premier League powerhouse like Bayern and Juventus.

Xia Qi was even more highly expected by everyone. As long as he won the European Cup in two years, he would be crowned the king of football and become the first king of football on the European continent. After all, before that, although Beckenbauer was known as the emperor, he was not known as the king of football.

As a result, Manchester City and Chelsea have undoubtedly become the hottest club and player in the world, and no one can compare with them.

Real Madrid President Florentino declared that Real Madrid will never give up the transfer plan for Xia Qi, even if it takes three years to do so, it is worth it!!!
However, as fame brings trouble, Manchester City was investigated by the FA's Financial Fair Play Committee.

Manchester United's new coach Mourinho expressed strong dissatisfaction with the media for awarding the Premier League title to Manchester City too early.

"After four rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City has the same points as us, but they have scored slightly more goals. Why should we award the championship to them now?"

Mourinho spoke passionately: "Our goal this season is clear, which is to win the Premier League. We have the strength to do so, and we are not burdened by the Champions League. In short, in the ninth round of the Manchester derby, you will see how we can pull Manchester City off the altar."

This season, Manchester United, with Pogba in the midfield and Kane in the forward line, does have the strength to challenge Manchester City, but Manchester City's number of goals is not just a little more, but twice as many.

It is also for this reason that after four rounds of the Premier League, although Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are all undefeated teams, the media unanimously believes that the championship is in Manchester City's pocket.

But Mourinho was not convinced. In his opinion, the number of goals was meaningless to him as he believed that a score of one to zero meant victory.

Without waiting for the ninth round to start, after four rounds, he arrogantly declared that he would definitely win the Manchester derby.

Although the Manchester derby is still some time away, its popularity continues to rise.

After the fourth round, Xia Qi filmed a Patek Philippe advertisement with Savannah Brad.

Patek Philippe specially launched a couple watch series for the two.

Xia Qi has become very popular recently, and this couple watch has been hotly pre-ordered before it was launched on the market.

The company gave Xia Qi another big red envelope. Xia Qi added some money and bought 50 sets of couple watches, which he gave to his teammates, coaches and the housekeeping team.

The Etihad training base was filled with joy on the day Xia Qi returned, and the laughter spread to the neighbors next door, making them even more sad.

Time passed quietly, and before the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the Champions League group stage.

In this season's Champions League, four Premier League powerhouses Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea will compete.

Manchester City is in Group E with Bayern, Roma and CSKA Moscow.

On September 9, Bayern faced Manchester City at the Allianz Arena.

The media jokingly called this match a challenge between the new bully and the old bully.

Xia Qi continued his unstoppable momentum in the game, scoring headers and kicks, performing his first Champions League hat trick of the new season, leading Manchester City to a 5-1 victory over Bayern.

After the game, the German media lamented sadly: "It's easier to shake the mountain than to shake the summer!"

They commented: "Bayern is the king of London and has a bloodline suppression on the Premier League teams, but Xia Qi is the counter to Bayern..."

After the Champions League group stage, Manchester City played two more Premier League games and a Champions League match against Roma.

Xia Qi continued his half-time performance, scoring more than three goals in every game.

In eight Premier League games, Xia Qi scored a total of 30 goals, and in two Champions League games he scored six goals, leaving Messi and Ronaldo far behind.

With such a brilliant result, Manchester City finally ushered in the long-awaited Manchester Derby on October 10th...

In the long and epic history of the Premier League, the Manchester derby has long been hidden in the shadow of time, far less dazzling than the London derby, attracting the attention of the world.

In the past, it was like a forgotten corner, without any of the global attention it has today.

There is a reason for this. In the past 100 years, Manchester City and Manchester United have not been top teams most of the time.

Until the last round of the 1973-74 season, Denis Law was like a lone warrior, scoring a goal at that crucial moment to help Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0.

This victory not only brought Manchester City three crucial points, but also pushed Manchester United into the endless abyss of relegation. At the same time, it also opened a great road to revival for Manchester United.

This game is of great significance to Manchester United.

Since then, Sir Alex Ferguson has started his legendary journey to fame. From that day on, Manchester City became the "noisy neighbor" in the eyes of everyone, and the Premier League has entered the era of the Reds. The battle between Ferguson and Wenger became the main theme of the Premier League in the next decade.

The feud between Manchester City and Manchester Derby reached its thrilling climax in the Manchester Derby at the end of the 2000/01 season.

Keane, the old rogue on the field, took advantage of the momentum of his forward charge and delivered a lightning-fast knee-high tackle, hitting Alf-Inge Haaland's right knee directly.

Under this huge impact, Alf-Inge Haaland flipped in the air and then fell heavily to the ground like a falling star.

In his autobiography published in 2002, Keane frankly admitted that he had deliberately kicked Haaland.

The reason behind this can be traced back to the Rose Derby in 1998.

At that time, Keane tried to stop Haaland from dribbling the ball, but accidentally severely injured the cruciate ligament in his knee. When Keane fell to the ground in pain, Haaland instead of coming forward to show concern, complained to the referee that Keane was faking an injury.

This action, like a seed of hatred, was deeply buried in Keane's heart.

So, in this confrontation, Keane personally ruined Haaland's career.

Before being severely injured by Keane, Haaland was the undisputed main force and captain of Manchester City. However, after this overhaul, he could no longer find his former shining self on the court. Finally, in 2003, he hastily retired and concentrated on training his "small trumpet".

On the morning of the Manchester derby day, Xia Qi arrived at the Etihad training base as usual.

However, in the parking lot, he was stopped by a fifteen-year-old boy.

The boy was holding a No. 9 jersey of Xia Qi in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Xia, can you sign an autograph for me?"

Xia Qi was slightly stunned. Usually, fans would ask for autographs outside the training base, and the only people asking for autographs inside the base could be the children of the staff.

However, Xia Qi had never seen this young man before.

You know, Xia Qi grew up in the Etihad base and he is a shining business card of Manchester City's youth training.

"OK, but can you tell me whose child you are?"

There was a glimmer of pride in the boy's eyes, "Erling! Erling Haaland."

"Haaland?" Xia Qi's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past.

If it weren't for the Manchester derby, he really wouldn't have remembered the old captain who had broken his leg for Manchester City.

But in the past few days, the Manchester derby has been constantly on the screen in various media, and past grudges have been dug up one by one.

So, Xia Qi immediately thought of the tragic old captain.

Xia Qi happily signed his name on the jersey.

"Xia, you know, from today on I am your teammate. I am in the U16... I am a striker like you."

With the emergence of Manchester City's youth training players such as Xia Qi, Kompany, Joe Hart..., many parents are more willing to send their children to Manchester City.

Among them is the old Manchester City man - Haaland.

"Hello, teammates! I hope we can fight side by side together in two years!"

"Thank you! Xia, you must help my dad get revenge in tonight's game and teach those Manchester United bastards a lesson!"

"Erlin, I will teach them a lesson, but you have to avenge your father yourself. On that day, I will give you an assist..."

"Do… do you really think I can?"

"Of course, we'll practice together after class, right at training ground number one, okay?"

"Of course! I'm very hardworking..."

"Haha..." (End of this chapter)
