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

While the British were still immersed in the heated discussion on whether to set up a national Olympic team, Manchester City was unstoppable on three fronts, like a surging torrent, advancing all the way and reaping victory after victory.

In the FA Cup final, they defeated Chelsea led by Conte with great momentum.

In the league, they secured the glory of the Premier League championship five rounds in advance.

Manchester City's 2015-6 season would have come to a perfect end if they had defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Berlin, Germany on June 8, 2014.

By then, Manchester City will become the second team after Arsenal to achieve the glorious feat of winning five championships.

Xia Qi successfully won the Premier League Golden Boot and Premier League Best Player awards for the second time.

In the Champions League Golden Boot list, he is far ahead of Ronaldo with 32 goals to 28 goals.

This Champions League final is not only a fierce contest between Manchester City and Real Madrid, but also a battle between Xia Qi and Ronaldo for the Champions League Golden Boot.

As European leagues have come to an end one after another.

The eyes of all of Europe and even the world are focused on Berlin.

Manchester City and Real Madrid both arrived in Berlin two days earlier.

In the 2014-2015 season, Real Madrid had bad luck and came away empty-handed!
The team scored 92 points in La Liga, the second highest score in the team's history.

However, they still lost to Barcelona by a narrow margin of two points, missed the La Liga title, and were eliminated early in the King's Cup by Athletic Bilbao.

Manchester City has already won the League Cup, FA Cup and Premier League titles. If they can win the Champions League, they will also win the European Super Cup and Community Shield next year.

That is the glory of six championships, which is the highest honor ever won by Barcelona and Arsenal...

The psychological factor of “admiring the strong” is at work!

Except for the fans of Real Madrid and Manchester United, almost everyone is looking forward to Manchester City winning the championship!!!

The British Mirror said: "Unlike Xia Qi, who still needs two major tournaments (European Cup and Olympics) to become the best player, Manchester City is only 270 minutes away from winning six titles and becoming Guardiola's second dynasty... Come on Manchester City!..."

Guardiola is well aware that Rome was not built in a day. If he wants to achieve six championships, he must first achieve four championships.

In order to prevent the players from being disturbed by the media, Guardiola started closed training in Berlin.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on June 2015, 6, the entire Manchester City team walked out of the hotel in an orderly manner and boarded the team bus one by one.

Many media wanted to interview the players before the game, but were rejected. However, when Xia Qi heard the fans shouting his name in Chinese, he stopped, waved in that direction, with a smile as bright as the sun on his face.

Three police cars led the way in front, and on the left and right sides of the Manchester City bus, there were three motorcycle police escorts...

Behind the bus, fans were following closely in their cars...

The Olympic Square in Berlin was packed with people, with the blue of Manchester City and the white of Real Madrid clearly separated...

Lukaku leaned over the car window and looked out. All he could see were people. Although the car window was closed, he could still hear the singing and slogans outside the window...

Lukaku's adrenaline surged instantly, and he was shaking with excitement...

Sterling, who was sitting next to him, asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Lukaku said: "I am so touched that so many people came to watch me play."

De Bruyne glanced out the window and said calmly, "Not as much as last year!"

Xia Qi responded: "I'm not as motivated as I was last year..."

What a Versailles!

Knowing that you two are members of the Champions League champions...

There was a faint smell of lemon wafting from the bus.

...

...

After the players from both sides finished warming up, they returned to their locker rooms.

"All right, boys! Put down what you are doing and listen to me!"

Zidane closed the door of the locker room, and the noise outside suddenly turned into a low buzzing background sound.

It’s not that the sound insulation of the Berlin Olympic Stadium is too poor, but that the fans outside are too enthusiastic.

All the busy Real Madrid players stopped, looked up and turned to look at the head coach.

"We worked hard this season but the results were bad and we lost La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

But as long as we can win the most important final, it will still be a successful season."

“Tonight’s opponent Manchester City played against us for the first time in history. They played a 4231 formation, emphasizing the control of the midfield and being good at breaking through the defense through short passes.

Does this tactic sound familiar to you?"

The Real Madrid players laughed: "Isn't it just the same as Barcelona?"

"Yes, so we have to use the trident combination of Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo in the frontcourt to play to their speed advantage and attack their defense. Especially the two full-backs, they should actively insert themselves to provide more width and options for the offense."

"Their head coach is the former head coach of my old rival Barcelona. Their star player Xia Qi defeated us in the last Champions League final..."

"So tonight's game can actually be called a battle of revenge..."

"I think everyone is tired of hearing about the six-time champion theory these days. In the eyes of many media, it is a foregone conclusion that the other team will beat us and win the championship."

"But what I want to say is that we already failed once last year, and we will never fail tonight!"

"Real Madrid will never fall in the same place twice, even if the opponent has a coach who has won six championships and a European Golden Boot winner, Xia Qi..."

In the Manchester City locker room, Guardiola was also making a pre-match mobilization speech:

"We have been very successful this season and have already won three trophies, but if we lose the biggest trophy tonight, the Champions League,"

"Then all our efforts this season have been in vain... Let's not leave any regrets in this wonderful season..."

"We're facing a team tonight that some of us are familiar with...

Their 433 formation emphasizes direct and efficient attack. When defending, we should maintain a tight formation and pay attention to cutting off their midfield passing lines.

Casemiro, Kroos and Modric cannot be allowed to organize attacks easily.

When attacking, we need to make good use of the wingers' breakthroughs and the attacking midfielders' organization, and look for opportunities to attack them from behind."

Like last year, there was a cultural performance before the game started.

After the performance, under the theme song of the Champions League, "Don't kill Bayern... Play Barcelona... My factory has collapsed..."
The players from both teams, holding their caddies and led by three referees, entered the Guangming Stadium one by one.

In an instant,
The packed Stadium of Light erupted into earth-shaking cheers.

This is Xia Qi's third time participating in the Champions League final and his second time playing against Real Madrid.

Although the Versailles in the bus said that there was no power...

In fact, under the huge cheers, the blood boiled at that moment, and a heroic spirit surged in my chest.
Champions League, three consecutive titles!

Just tonight!

"Penguin Sports!"

"Penguin Sports!"

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 8-2014 UEFA Champions League final on Penguin Live at 2015am on time!"

"I am your old friend Zhan Jun."

"Hello, viewers, I am Zhang Lu."

"Tonight's game is between Real Madrid, who want to win their 11th Champions League trophy, and Manchester City, who want to win their first Champions League. Who will have the last laugh? Let us reveal the answer after 90 minutes..."

“Although Manchester City reached the Champions League final for the first time, they have several Champions League winners in their team.

Real Madrid used a 433 formation, and their offense relied heavily on the breakthroughs of the two wingers Bale and Ronaldo, as well as Benzema's support in the middle. Manchester City used a 4231 formation, and the two defensive midfielders had to pay attention to restricting Real Madrid's midfield when defending.

"The players are entering!" Zhang Lu raised his voice unconsciously.

"The referee is looking at his watch. The game is about to start. Let's announce the starting lineups of both sides.

Wearing white jerseys, they attack from the left side of the screen to the right side is Real Madrid. Tonight's starting lineup is their usual 433:

Goalkeeper: Casillas
Left back: Coentrao

Centre-backs: Varane, Ramos
Right back: Carvajal

The three midfielders are: Casemiro, Kroos, Modric

Three forwards: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

On the other side is Manchester City, wearing blue jerseys. They attack from the right side of the screen to the left side, and they also play a 4231 formation.

The goalkeeper is...
