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

Although Manchester City had the advantage on the field, the score did not widen again.

Most of Manchester City's players can accept a score of 1:2, or even 2:2. After all, not everyone has as strong a competitive spirit as Xia Qi, and this game is an away game with one less player on the field.

However, Xia Qi was unwilling to give in!
Tonight was his first game without relying on AI plug-ins, and the score of 1:2 was extremely inconsistent with his title of "Mr. Halftime".

At the 62nd minute of the second half, Xia Qi clearly felt his strength draining away quickly. The air he inhaled into his lungs was scorching hot... He missed the "one-button hang-up" "substitute" mode very much. From the first second to the last second, the red and blue colors were always full.

While adjusting his heart rate, Xia Qi encouraged himself, telling himself that if he persisted, he would win, and happiness might knock on his door in the next second...

He saw De Bruyne being double-teamed by his opponents, so he raised his arms high and shouted, "Give it to me!"

Then, without stopping the ball, he kicked it to Sterling with his heel, who broke through with the ball and made a cross.

Instead of passing the ball to Lukaku, he passed it to Xia Qi who was behind Lukaku.

Xia Qi stepped on the penalty area line and volleyed the ball again.

But the ball was saved by Bravo, but it did not leave the danger area.

Sterling made a follow-up shot on the edge of the small penalty area. At this time, Bravo was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up. As long as Sterling hit the ball within the goal frame, he would have a high probability of scoring.

Many Barcelona fans screamed in fear, and the timid ones even closed their eyes...

However, you will never be able to understand Sterling's happiness. With such an effortless shot, he actually hit the ball on the goal post.

Sterling smiled nonchalantly and pointed to the grass, indicating that the Barcelona players had sprinkled water on it and it was a bit slippery.

Xia Qi's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, pulling his hair hard with both hands, as if he wanted to bald himself...

He squeezed out all his strength to create this opportunity, especially the long shot. If he hadn't used up all his strength, how could Bravo hold the ball with one hand, and how could Sterling get the chance to make a follow-up shot?
Forget it...

continue……

Xia Qi's breathing was like an old cow's and his steps became heavy, but he was still desperately squeezing out his physical strength.

"In the 62nd minute of the game, Xia Qi had already run 14 kilometers, just one step away from Beckham's record of 6 kilometers in a single game in the 2001 World Cup."

"No one has broken Beckham's record so far, which shows how difficult it is. But it is very likely to be broken by Xia Qi tonight."

"If Xia Qi hadn't been substituted out, this record would have definitely been broken..."

Xia Qi's efforts finally paid off.

Four minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack, but this time, Xia Qi was not the organizer of the attack.

This was because this attack was triggered by Lukakula's breakthrough from the flank.

That’s right, it’s that silly Lukaku, who was unstoppable on the right side, defeating all the opponents along the way…

Xia Qi followed closely at the back of the center.

Fearing that Barcelona might steal the ball and launch a counterattack, Xia Qi did not dare to rush forward in the middle.

As expected, when Lukaku passed Alba, the ball hit Alba's calf.
Rolled diagonally towards the middle.

It happened to fall between Xia Qi and Iniesta. Xia Qi was prepared and started to sprint forward the moment Lukaku lost the ball.
Iniesta's reaction was normal.
Hey, a gift from heaven?!
After a slight pause of one second, it started!

However, it was at this very second that he lost the initiative in competing with Xia Qi.

If you want to stop Xia Qi from getting the ball at this time, you can only commit a foul.

Iniesta then flew away...

Xia Qi either chooses to give up,

Or risk being tackled, rush forward and stretch your legs to poke the ball.

Xia Qi resolutely chose the latter.
He managed to poke the ball away before Iniesta, but was also hit on the heel by Iniesta.

Fell headfirst to the ground!
The referee blew the whistle and gave Iniesta a yellow card.

Iniesta smiled slightly, thinking that he had made a profit. Xia Qi was just a little bit away from passing the opponent.

He walked up to Xia Qi, pulled Xia Qi up, and asked in English: "Are you okay?"

Xia Qi shook his head.

There is a big difference between playing in person and using AI to play for you.

If it was the AI ​​playing on his behalf, he would have been able to successfully pass the opponent just now.

Xia Qi moved his ankle and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

But the sound in his chest, like an old cow breathing, told him that it would be better to let someone else take the free kick.

Xia Qi picked up the football and walked towards De Bruyne, stuffed the ball into his arms, put his arms around De Bruyne's neck, said something as he walked, and then walked back.

"Manchester City got a free kick up front, it was a free kick up front in a pretty good position."

"Maybe De Bruyne will take the penalty."

On the field, De Bruyne placed the ball, took a run-up, and kicked the ball out.

The football flew high, passed through the wall of people who also jumped high, and then began to fall rapidly!
Just as the football was about to hit the goal post and enter the net, a hand appeared at the bottom of the football, lifted it up and over the crossbar.

"Ah, Bravo's miraculous save!"

"Ding Ding's first goal in this season's Champions League knockout round was just a hair's breadth away!"

"Ding Ding had no problem with this free kick, but Bravo made a world-class save."

De Bruyne took a corner kick from the right side. Xia Qi did not try to score in the penalty area, but defended near the center circle, still afraid of being "stolen" by Barcelona.
Of course, it is also because Manchester City is leading by one goal at the moment, so there is no need to take risks.

The ball was headed out of the penalty area by Mascherano and Barcelona began to counterattack.

Neymar dribbled the ball at lightning speed on the wing and passed it with a flying kick in the side of Manchester City's penalty area.
The ball was passed to the middle, and Suarez made a powerful shot near the penalty spot.

The ball hit Kompany's thigh and bounced out of the baseline.

At the time of the corner kick, Xavi was replaced by Rakitic.

"Xavi is too old to complete such a difficult match."

After Xavi left the field, Messi took the corner kick.

Xia Qi headed the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball landed at the feet of Rakitic who had just come on the field. Fortunately, Rakitic's feet were still cold.

A long shot turned into an anti-aircraft gun and the football flew straight into the stands.

"Barça missed two good chances..."

"Barcelona players are a little impatient. They are not willing to accept the result of 1:2. They want to equalize the score and maybe even win the game... But the more this happens, the more they need to have a strong heart."

At this time, Manchester City also began to adjust its tactics.

Guardiola arranged for veterans Lampard and Navas to come on, replacing Lukaku and Sterling respectively.

"No striker? Is Guardiola ready to defend?"

"No, Guardiola is planning to free Xia Qi from defense..."

Suddenly, there was a huge applause in the arena.

It turned out that the big screen on the sidelines showed that Xia Qi's running distance tonight reached 16.2 kilometers, just breaking Beckham's record that had been held for 13 years.

This is an amazing record. Even though Xia Qi was an opponent, all the Barcelona players stood up and applauded him.

"Dear audience, in the 82nd minute of the game, Xia Qi broke Beckham's record for the longest distance a player has run on the field... Xia Qi's next steps will continue to improve the record... This data also shows how intense and difficult this game is..."

The game continues,

In the 86th minute, Neymar made a cross from the wing, and Kompany headed the ball to Lampard at the front of the penalty area before Rakitic.

Lampard showed off his skills. He turned his back to the direction of attack and made a long diagonal pass with his heel, and the ball was accurately sent in front of Xia Qi on the right side of the court.

This pass has a great overall view, or in other words, a God's perspective!!!

It instantly hit Barcelona's vital point, and Barcelona fell into an extremely dangerous situation in an instant!

"Pretty!"

"Chance!"

"Just with this long pass, Chelsea will probably cry in the toilet. This undoubtedly proves that they are a traitor..."

A shrill alarm sounded over the Camp Nou stadium!!!

Barcelona fans booed loudly, trying to intimidate Xia Qi who was fighting back, while also trying to cover up their own panic and fear...

Xia Qi caught up with the football, and then ran forward with big strides.
Since Barcelona was attacking before, and Barcelona players were still on their way back to defense, Xia Qi's counterattack was unimpeded...

It was not until the top right corner of the penalty area that Xia Qi encountered Montoya's defense. His partner Mascherano gritted his teeth and tried his best to run back.

Xia Qi dribbled the ball towards Montoya. Facing Montoya's interception, Xia Qi did not slow down but instead accelerated his sprint.
Montoya didn't have any chance to react at all.

He flashed past Montoya with the football.

Montoya felt like a policeman in a gangster movie who intercepts a gangster on the highway.

All they could do was watch helplessly as the criminals stepped on the gas and drove through the checkpoint, then sped away...

"Xia Qi passed Montoya!!!"

"Montoya is far inferior to Pique! He couldn't even buy a second for his teammate Mascherano..."

"Montoya looked rather clumsy in front of Xia Qi's amazing speed. The Spanish international's experience in defending top players was indeed a little immature."

"Xia Qi is facing the goalkeeper alone!"

After passing Montoya, Xia Qi dribbled the ball towards the penalty area. Just as he was about to pass, goalkeeper Bravo left the goal and prepared to block Xia Qi's shot.

This is Bravo and also Barcelona’s last fight!
Seeing Bravo leaving the goal, Xia Qi immediately slowed down, raised his right foot high and kicked the football. Just as his right foot was about to approach the football,

Xia Qi inserted his toes into the bottom of the football and lifted it up!
Spoon shot!

Lob shot!

As soon as Bravo rushed to the small penalty area line, he saw Xia Qi's lob shot!

Seeing that the ball was thrown very high, Bravo did not try to jump, but just turned his head and watched the football.

Although the football was thrown very high, it landed very accurately, like a gorgeous rainbow hanging directly on the net.

"The ball went in!!!"

"1:3!!!"

"Congratulations to Xia Qi for completing his first hat trick in the Champions League knockout rounds this season and getting off to a good start."

"With little time left in the game, Xia Qi's goal almost sealed the victory."

"With a two-goal advantage and three away goals, Manchester City is not only very likely to win the game, but also has a great chance of advancing to the quarterfinals."

"Manchester City is so strong even though they are one man short. How will Barcelona cope with a full-strength team at home?"

“You don’t need SLX to defeat MSN, you only need one X!”

"Xia Qi is the X factor!!!"

Xia Chui - The more Zhan Jun spoke, the more excited he became, and the more excited he became, the more outrageous his words became.

It seems that there is no need to fight in the next round, Barcelona can just raise the white flag and admit defeat...

However, Zhan Jun has many fans, and many people on the Internet support his views.

The reason why fans regard the score of "1:3" as Barcelona's death declaration.

This is because when they were trailing 0:1 and Yaya Toure was sent off again, they thought a dark day was about to come.

Manchester City's Waterloo will take place tonight.

As a result, Xia Qi shined on both offense and defense. Not only did he defend well, he also prevented Barcelona from scoring any more goals.

On the offensive end, he took the lead, performed a hat trick, and defeated Barcelona.

After scoring the goal, Xia Qi made a "king over the world" gesture to the Barcelona fans...

At this moment, Manchester City fans and players were all crazy. Their cheers were like sharp arrows, piercing the hearts of Barcelona players...

De Bruyne rushed over and knocked the "pretentious" Xia Qi to the ground. Then, Lampard pressed on, one, two, three or four...

Manchester City players piled up on the field...

Barcelona fans stopped booing Xia Qi and other Manchester City players. They took out white handkerchiefs or tissues... The whole field was as white as a blooming gardenia.

"Barcelona fans are deeply disappointed with Messi and other players..."

"During bullfights in Spain, spectators wave white handkerchiefs as a reward and a symbol of honor.

However, on the court, this is the way fans express their dissatisfaction with players.

There have been two occasions when the entire stadium at Camp Nou waved white handkerchiefs, both of which happened during Rijkaard's Dream II period.

In the 2006-2007 season, Barcelona lost to the Espanyol team led by Valverde in the last round of La Liga, and lost the championship that they had led for most of the season.
After the game, fans waved white handkerchiefs.

In the 07-08 season, Barcelona only finished third in the league, ten points behind the second-placed Yellow Submarine Villarreal.

The fans waved their white handkerchiefs again, but this time they were directed at Barcelona's top management and president.

Tonight, the white handkerchief appeared again at the Camp Nou..."

The Barcelona players did not fight back against the fans' "backstab". They all kept their heads down and did not respond to this "waving white handkerchiefs" behavior.

The live camera was on the captain Xavi, who was standing off the field. He had tears in his eyes and was staring blankly ahead.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique leaned back in his chair, expressionless, neither angry nor disgusted...

With such low morale, Barcelona quickly lost the initiative after the game resumed.

It's a completely procedural attitude.

Xia Qi and others were physically exhausted and were also worried that with Barcelona fans turning against them throughout the game, Barcelona players would use them as punching bags and hurt themselves.

So we didn't add insult to injury and spent the rest of the time in tacit understanding.

1: 3!

This is the final score at the end of the game.

The difference between the two teams is not huge, and Barcelona cannot be ruled out.

But judging from the course and content of the game, Barcelona has already been eliminated... (End of this chapter)
