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

Time goes back to the moment when Pogba took over.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford was tense and heated.

Pogba stood in front of the free kick with a determined look in his eyes, as if what was about to be shot was not a football, but an arrow piercing the clouds.

Mourinho sat in the coaching booth, leaning forward slightly, with his hands clasped together, his thumbs resting in front of the tip of his nose, his eyes fixed on Pogba.

At this moment, time seems to have stopped.

Pogba ran up and kicked the ball, and it flew out like a cannonball.

However, fate played a little joke on him in an instant, and the football hit Lukaku squarely on the head.

At that moment, Mourinho felt lost. He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of regret.

But fate is always full of drama. In the process of going in and out by mistake, the football ended up in the net.

Mourinho was instantly ignited. He couldn't help but rush out of the coaching seat and run along the sidelines, trying to make a passionate slide.

Unfortunately, this coach with mediocre skills fell after only one or two steps.

However, this cannot stop the enthusiasm of Old Trafford.

On the field, Pogba opened his arms and celebrated passionately. The passionate shouts of Manchester United fans sounded like thunder and the applause was deafening.

In the Penguin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's voice was a little low. He obviously supported "Xia Qi's side", and this own goal, which was not really an own goal, made him demoralized.

"Manchester City need to be careful, this is not just a goal, it's the return of confidence.

Pogba's free kick level is not bad, but he has not found the key to scoring at Manchester United. This goal will give him great confidence and help him get back to the state of the Zebra Prince.

This is quite disadvantageous for Manchester City who are trailing 0:1.”

Tonight, Mourinho clearly did more homework than Guardiola.

Although he did not send anyone to defend Xia Qi, Manchester United's defense against Xia Qi was not weak.

Wherever Xia Qi went, there were at least two players double-defending him.

This strategy of having the entire team be defensive players has been relatively effective so far.

Except for one time when Xia Qi broke away from defense, he was successfully restricted most of the time.

16 minutes into the game, Xia Qi still hadn't taken a shot, which was very rare for Xia Qi. This shows that Mourinho's defensive strategy was successful."

On the other side, unlike the Penguin platform commentator who supported Xia Qi, Guardiola sat calmly in the coaching seat with his arms folded, his expression slightly calm, at least he did not look anxious on the surface.

This more or less gave the Manchester City players on the field some confidence.

Every Manchester City player came over to rub Lukaku's bald head or pat his butt.

Xia Qi lightly hit Lukaku's chest and said with a smile: "Minus one goal, score two goals and it will become a plus one goal. I will take you to a nice place in the evening, a nice place that a female companion cannot go to."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Lukaku, and the sour smell of love that all men understand came to his nose.

"Don't worry! I will score three goals, but I will get at least two." Lukaku said confidently.

"We don't doubt your ability to score goals, we just hope you can recognize that this is our goal and that is their goal. Also, the goal was switched in the second half, so don't kick into that goal in the second half..." Xia Qi joked.

"Haha..." All the teammates laughed.

Lukaku was not angry even when Xia Qi called him "stupid". He asked Xia Qi what a good place was with a flattering face.

"I don't know, Wayne arranged it." Xia Qi shrugged.

Rooney is the vice-captain of the England national team. After winning the World Cup, he has been wanting to organize everyone to celebrate together, but Xia Qi was busy with transfers and commercial performances.

If Xia Qi, the biggest contributor to the World Cup, does not attend, Rooney's party will not be able to take place.

This eye-catching Manchester derby brought many people to Manchester, so Rooney, who is not good at playing but loves to play, once again proposed a party. This time, Xia Qi couldn't refuse.

The competition is still going on...

Under the pressure of falling behind in the score, Manchester City finally woke up like a sleeping lion, revealing its sharp fangs.

In the 17th minute, Lukaku received a pass from Xia Qi, rushed forward like a cheetah, and shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area.

The football whizzed away like a cannonball, but De Gea lifted it over the crossbar with one hand like a god descending from heaven.

Afterwards, a corner kick was taken, and Xia Qi jumped up from the crowd like a dragon emerging from water, pulling up onions from dry land, and shook his head like a lion, with great momentum.

However, De Gea once again showed his extraordinary bravery and once again lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Manchester City took the second corner kick. Lukaku rushed to the right post of the goal and shot the ball, but it hit the thigh of defender Evans.

There was a sudden chaos in the penalty area. Xia Qi keenly seized the opportunity in the chaos and completed the follow-up shot.

But at the critical moment, Pogba returned to defense like lightning, retreated to the goal line, and blocked the football with his body.

In an instant, Old Trafford was filled with thunderous applause, as if it was going to rip the roof of the entire stadium off.

Manchester United's live DJ shouted hysterically: "King of Old Trafford, please take my knee!"

Penguin Live commentator Zhan Jun said glumly: "Manchester United are so unlucky! They couldn't score despite such a fierce attack."

"Pogba's hexagonal warrior attributes were unlocked after scoring a goal... the pressure is on Manchester City."

After Manchester United escaped, Pogba began to organize the attack.

He dribbled the ball like a calm commander, carefully observing the movements of his teammates.

However, before he could pass the ball, a strong wind suddenly blew.

"Fuck! What kind of sprinting speed is it to create a gust of wind?"

Pogba didn't need to look back, he knew in his heart that the person rushing towards him was definitely Xia Qi. No one else could make such abnormal movements.

Xia Qi was as fast as lightning, and Pogba had no time to pass the ball. At the same time, a strong curiosity surged in his heart. He had only heard of Xia Qi's reputation but had never had a direct conversation with Xia Qi.

So Pogba protected the football between his legs and turned sideways to the direction where Xia Qi was rushing.

However, the next second, Pogba felt the horror of "death".

Dubbed the hexagonal warrior, his physical attributes made him fly backwards like a paper man.

Pogba's brain was suddenly in a mess. He opened his big eyes wide and looked at Xia Qi in horror. No words could be more convincing than his expression at this moment!
After knocking Pogba away, Xia Qi dribbled the ball and prepared to sprint, but unfortunately, the referee blew the whistle.

The referee even took out a yellow card from his pocket.

"what!"

"You're giving me the cards right now? But Xia Qi didn't even make a move?"

"This is the home whistle, but it's too biased!"

"There's something wrong with this whistle!"

Although Zhang Lu did not call this a black whistle, he directly pointed out that it was a "problematic whistle."

Guardiola, who had originally looked calm, suddenly rushed out of the coaching seat. He put his hands on his head and squatted down in front of the fourth official, expressing his incredible signature move.

Mourinho on the other side was overjoyed and clapped loudly, insisting that this was a very "just and accurate" judgment.

"Hey! Big boy! Don't cause trouble in my game!" The referee was not satisfied after showing Xia Qi a yellow card, and gave him another verbal warning.

Xia Qi opened his mouth wide and pointed at his eyes, meaning: Which eye of yours saw me doing something wrong.

"You were in the tunnel and just now..."

"Isn't he the one who caused trouble in the tunnel?" Xia Qi pointed at Pogba innocently and said, "Also, I just made a normal steal..." This time, it was the referee's turn to point at his own eyes, meaning that he had no eyes, ahem! It meant that he saw it very clearly...

Well, I am Xia Benzema Qi! Xia Qi shrugged and spread his hands... So helpless!!!
Xia Qi stood on the green field, feeling helpless.

At this time, Kane and Van Persie walked towards Pogba, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath.

Kane reached out and pulled Pogba up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Pogba spat in hatred and said through gritted teeth: "I will get this back."

Although Xia Qi received a yellow card, Pogba felt that he had suffered a loss and lost face.

The Manchester derby began to feel a bit tense at this moment.

Time passed quietly in the fierce confrontation between the two sides.

After Manchester United's attack was intercepted, Xia Qi got the ball near the center circle.

Carrick rushed over like a ferocious cheetah, and immediately made a side tackle in an attempt to intercept the ball.

Xia Qi was like a nimble elf. He lightly pushed the ball to the right, then jumped up and easily avoided Carrick's tackle.

Manchester United fans were shocked, and a phrase instantly flashed in their minds: "Eating a dragon alive!"

They shouted frantically: "Don't let him break through!" "Don't let him rush up!"

In this "reverse cheering", Xia Qi did as they wished and wiped out Fletcher with a little bit of rhythm.

Another person was instantly added to the list of people to be eaten raw.

Just as Xia Qi was about to sprint, Pogba chased back.

Pogba, in his peak form, is extremely fast.

When he approached Xia Qi, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately charged at Xia Qi in retaliation.

He didn't believe that his physical fitness would lose to Xia Qi, and he wanted to make Xia Qi fly out like a paper man.

However, in the next second,
Xia Qi gently pulled the football with his right foot, pulled it back between his legs, and quickly used the toe of his left foot to knock the football to the right side of his body. He turned half a turn on the spot, and the football and himself avoided Pogba's collision.

"Beautiful!" everyone exclaimed.

"Xia Qi first sent the ball behind him, and then used a move similar to the Marseille turn to avoid Pogba. The Marseille turn is to turn around with your feet on the ball, but in that case the ball will be intercepted by Pogba..."

Pogba missed the target and braked in a hurry, so his brain and hands and feet were out of coordination and he fell to the ground.

Pogba, who was angry and humiliated, supported himself on the ground with his left hand, raised his right foot and kicked directly at Xia Qi's supporting leg.

This is an extremely obvious malicious foul!

The referee wanted to blow the whistle immediately, but Xia Qi seemed to have eyes behind his head. He first sent the ball gently, and then jumped up to avoid Pogba's bad action.

Although Xia Qi avoided the damage, his breakthrough speed slowed down.

Fletcher came back to defense, rushed over from the side, and stretched out his legs to try to poke the ball away.

Xia Qi quickly took a step forward, stretched out his right foot, and pulled the football back in time.

Then he backhanded the ball behind Fletcher and at the same time accelerated and passed by Fletcher again.

"Double Eat Fletcher!"

"Fletcher eats two fishes at once!"

Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun spoke almost at the same time. Although their commentaries were different, their meanings were similar.

Manchester United fans were in a complete panic, screaming like they were watching a horror movie, screaming in octaves: "Stop him!!!"

Xia Qi continued to dribble the ball but failed to break through. Phil Jones and Evans collided with one person and knocked Xia Qi down.

There are many ways to commit a foul, but why did they have to knock Xia Qi down?
That’s because the atmosphere of the derby has already been created, and of course, “every blow hits the flesh” is more exciting.

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

The Manchester United player was judged to have committed a foul, and Phil Jones and Evans were given a verbal warning, telling them that this was dangerous and could easily lead to injury, and that they should control their emotions.

After the situation was resolved here, Pogba was called over and shown a yellow card.

Pogba's kick was a flagrant foul, but the referee did not blow the whistle because the attack was advantageous.

In fact, Pogba's action can be given a red card. It may be the referee's "home whistle", or it may be Pogba's pitiful look of begging for mercy...

In short, when a man acts pitiful, no one can be heartless.

Mourinho and Pogba knew they were in the wrong and did not protest after receiving the yellow card.

On the contrary, Guardiola was very angry: "Fak! This is murder. That move can break an athlete's leg, but you just gave him a yellow card?"

As the game continued, the derby atmosphere became stronger and stronger.

In the 28th minute, Yaya Toure made another interception and Manchester City took possession of the ball.

Xia Qi took the ball and broke through again in the frontcourt.

As soon as Xia Qi started, Pogba came up to him.

Xia Qi dribbled the ball to the left, and then dribbled it back when Pogba changed direction.

With this coming and going, there is room to break through.

The football rolled past Pogba, and Xia Qi pushed the ground with his legs to chase after the football.

Pogba was unwilling to be passed by Xia Qi like this, and just when Xia Qi passed half of his body, he reached out from behind, grabbed Xia Qi's jersey, and dragged Xia Qi with his hands and feet.

As the fight continued, Fletcher came over from the side.

Xia Qi was really angry because the quality of this "in China" jersey was so good.

I could clearly feel that the hem of the jersey could no longer bear the weight, but it didn't seem to be torn.

He couldn't move forward at all if he dragged on like this.

Tried to knock Pogba's hand away, but "shamelessness is invincibility"!
Pogba's hand was knocked off by Xia Qi, and he immediately switched to the other hand.

As the two were struggling, Fletcher stretched out his long legs.

The referee felt that Xia Qi was "finished" this time, so he put the whistle in his mouth, and once Xia Qi lost control of the football, he would blow the whistle immediately!
There is no way to cover up Pogba’s foul!
Facing Fletcher's sudden kick, Xia Qi continued to push away Pogba's hand with his left hand, pulled the football next to his right foot to the left with his left foot, and tried to turn sideways to face Fletcher.

Then he looked up and shouted to his teammate De Bruyne, pretending that he was unable to fight the double team, and raised his left leg towards De Bruyne as if to pass the ball.

In fact, he used all his strength to pull back with his right hand, and suddenly shook off Pogba's pull.

At the same time, he kicked the ball with his heel and let it roll between Pogba's legs. Finally, he quickly turned around and caught up with the ball, dribbled the ball, did a standard Marseille turn, corrected the direction of the sprint, and started sprinting towards Manchester United again.

Since Xia Qi kicked the ball towards his own goal and broke through by running back first and then turning around and sprinting, Fletcher was just a spectator the whole time when Xia Qi got rid of the double defense of Pogba and Fletcher.

When he saw Xia Qi sprinting again, Xia Qi had already left him and Pogba behind.

There was a sudden burst of deafening boos at Old Trafford. It was directed at Xia Qi by Manchester United fans, but to Fletcher, it felt like boos were directed at himself.

"Wow! A textbook escape!"

"Look at Xia Qi's breakthrough this time!"

Zhan Jun in Penguin Live immediately became excited... He never expected that Xia Qi, who was trapped in a desperate situation, could escape and instantly ignited him (End of this chapter)
