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

The game was about to start. Xia Qi stood quietly in the center circle. His face was calm, and he had calmed down from the excitement he had when he stepped into the court.

This was his third time stepping onto the stage of the Champions League final, but the first two times he was played by AI. Although he won the championship trophy in the end, he had no sense of participation throughout the whole process.

This time is completely different. This time he is fighting in person, so it has a different meaning.

Xia Qi secretly swore in his heart: I will never let the championship slip away! I must achieve an unprecedented hat trick of Champions League titles.

The Dutch referee was having the final communication with his assistants through the headset. Then, he glanced at the stopwatch on his wrist, raised his hands and blew the whistle.

The moment the whistle sounded, cheers from the stands of the Olympic Stadium exploded like thunder, and flash lights flashed non-stop, just like a dazzling starry sky...

"Dear audience, the game has begun..." As Zhan Jun loudly commented, Benzema gently passed the ball to Ronaldo, and then ran towards the front court...

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo turned around and kicked it to Modric. Just as he passed the ball back, Xia Qi passed by him like a gust of wind.

This really shocked Ronaldo, "Fuck!" If he passed the ball a little slower, Xia Qi would have intercepted the ball. "Be careful!" Ronaldo shouted at Modric.

Modric noticed Xia Qi's sudden attack. Seeing Xia Qi rushing towards him, he did not dare to stop the ball at his feet. He crossed his left leg, kicked the ball to the right, and passed it horizontally to Kroos.

Although Xia Qi failed, he was welcomed with warm cheers from all Manchester City fans in the Olympic Stadium.

"Xia Qi was very active at the beginning of the game. Fortunately, Modric was calm and didn't give Xia Qi a chance to score right from the start..."

"Modi is usually not very ostentatious, but in fact he is very important to Real Madrid, perhaps even more important than Cristiano Ronaldo, he is an indispensable part of Real Madrid..."

"A very underrated player."

"In fact, it was overshadowed by the brilliance of Mei, Luo, and Xia..."

As teachers Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were explaining, Kroos looked up at the frontcourt and made a long diagonal pass...

"Wow, this pass is quite good!" Zhang Lu, who was complaining to teacher Zhan Jun about the unfair treatment of Modric, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Kroos' pass was of extremely high quality, accurately catching Manchester City's midfielder Yaya Toure who was trying to move forward to assist Xia Qi, but the full-back Kolarov did not press forward, leaving an empty space.

Ronaldinho is worthy of being one of the strongest men on the earth. The moment Kroos kicked the ball, he started at high speed and rushed past Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure was horrified and turned around quickly, but how could he make it in time? He could only eat Ronaldo's exhaust gas from behind.

Danger came quietly like this...

"Stop him!"

"Take him down!"

The Manchester City fans who had just been cheering for Xia Qi suddenly turned pale and screamed in panic.

Kolarov rushed forward, trying to stop Ronaldo for a few seconds. Ronaldo dribbled the ball and pretended to cut inwards, waiting for Kolarov to fall into his trap. He turned around and dribbled the ball to the other side of his body, speeding past Kolarov.

The danger level instantly soared from 1.0 to 2.0!!!

Argentine player Demichelis shouted to captain Kompany: "I'm going!" Then he rushed straight out of the penalty area.

This was the moment Ronaldo was waiting for, and he immediately passed the ball into the penalty area.

Let's go back one second. Just as Demichelis rushed out of the penalty area to fill in for the full-back, center forward Benzema suddenly started to cut into the air. Kompany wanted to step forward to stop him but was restrained by Modric who was advancing through the middle.

At this time, Real Madrid players had a 3-2 advantage in Manchester City's penalty area. Bale, Benzema, and Modric faced Zabaleta and Kompany. Real Madrid had the upper hand by outnumbering others!
And Ronaldo accurately captured this fleeting opportunity and passed the ball in.

Benzema made a cut and sprinted like an arrow, jumped high to meet the falling football, stopped the ball steadily with his chest, bent down slightly to lower his center of gravity after landing, then swung his right leg and kicked the football with all his strength.

Real Madrid's attack was launched very suddenly. Ronaldo's passing timing and Benzema's running position were extremely smart, and the cooperation between the two was seamless.

So much so that when Benzema raised his leg to shoot, Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart's thoughts were still on the previous clip: What a pity, Xia Qi's sneak attack failed! !

Joe Hart has always been criticized for his frequent distractions, which is why there is a football proverb "see Hart miss a kick".

At this moment, Joe Hart was distracted again. Fortunately, Benzema at this time was not the Benzema who would be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility later. This shot was too straight!

Is this "shoot the person first"?

Joe Hart subconsciously knelt down to hold the ball with his muscle memory, and then pressed the ball tightly to the ground with his chest...

After the referee's whistle and the cheers of Manchester City fans, Joe Hart's distracted soul returned to his body.

The pain in his chest and the chill in his back made Joe Hart even more frightened...

Joe Hart looked around secretly and found that no one knew that he was a "blind cat catching a dead mouse". Then he jumped up and enjoyed the cheers like a hero.

"Joe...Hart..."

"Beautiful! Joe Hart has done a great job. Benzema's powerful shot was caught by Joe Hart..."

"Benzema's shot was powerful but from too straight an angle to beat Joe Hart."

"Joe Hart prevented Real Madrid from taking the lead, and Benzema wasted the efforts of Kroos and Ronaldo..."

The game continues,

Joe Hart took the goal kick...Manchester City pushed the attack forward and Yaya Toure assisted again.

He and De Bruyne made a wall pass more than 40 meters in front of the Real Madrid goal, and then pretended to continue to break through.
Forcing Kroos to take a step back and look for Casemiro to cooperate, the two were ready to "close the elevator door" on the path of Yaya Toure.

However, Yaya Toure no longer moved forward, but suddenly passed the ball horizontally.

Silva was on the left side of Yaya Toure and did not stop the ball, but instead kicked it directly with his toes.

The football flies into the penalty area!

In the penalty area, at the moment Silva made a lob pass.

Xia Qi was originally entangled with Ramos, but suddenly took a step back.

This retreat was very different from Xia Qi's previous aggressive and unyielding attitude, so much so that even Ramos, who had rich defensive experience, failed to stick to Xia Qi in the first place.

In this way, Xia Qi gained valuable space. Although it was not large, it was enough for him to exert his strength on the spot.

The football fell and was hit by Xia Qi again!
It turned into a meteor and flew towards the Real Madrid goal.

"Xia Qi..."

Casillas is awesome!
Xia Qi's kick had a very small amplitude when he shot, so it should be extremely difficult for the goalkeeper to judge the direction of the shot.

But Casillas relied on his experience and made a quick judgment based on the deployment of his own defenders.

He leaped into the air and pounced towards the near corner.

He lifted the football in a timely and accurate manner and pushed it outside the post!
"World class save."

"Saint Cassie will always be Saint Cassie, just like your uncle will always be your uncle..."

"Xia Qi's shot was made in a small space, and was extremely concealed... He looked just like the cool Berbatov. His legs didn't seem to be exerting any strength, but in fact the ball was as powerful as a meteor. However, even so, he still couldn't break through Casillas' defense." "That's right, Casillas once again made a miraculous save..."

After Casillas saved the ball from going out of bounds, Ramos, who had been tricked by Xia Qi, couldn't help but run over and kiss his forehead.

If it hadn't been for Casillas, Xia Qi would have scored the goal, and Ramos would have become the background wall of this top ten goal.

As Ramos kissed Casillas' forehead, a message came from behind the net advertising board:
"Put that uncle down and let me do it!"

That female voice, high and sharp, spread throughout the stadium through the stadium's close-up speakers.
There was laughter from the stands...

It is not without reason that Real Madrid is called the "male model team". Casillas, Ramos, Ronaldo... many female fans are crazy about them...

"The game got into a heated situation right from the start. Both sides launched a very threatening shot and each side made a brilliant save..."

"The two teams were evenly matched on the field, and the pace was lightning fast... The prediction of an undecided final will not happen. It was totally worth staying up late to watch the game..."

"Both attacks were brilliant. The coordination between Real Madrid players was more skillful and smooth, while Xia Qi's shot from Manchester City was more stunning..."

The commentators didn't know that the head coaches of both teams were both sweating profusely.

After Xia Qi shot, Real Madrid head coach Zidane hurried out of the coaching bench and directed the team to strengthen defense.

"Kami (Casemiro), keep an eye on him!"

"Don't give him space, force him to pass the ball!"

Zidane shouted at the top of his lungs.

In comparison, Guardiola was much calmer. Although he was nervous inside, he did not show it.

……

……

De Bruyne took a corner kick, Xia Qi jumped high, but was hit by Ramos' elbow and failed to head the ball.

After landing, Xia Qi cast a murderous look at Ramos...

Afterwards, both sides no longer concealed their extreme desire for victory, and the game entered a fast-paced and white-hot stage.

"... Bale dribbled past De Bruyne and he's still breaking through, Yaya Toure!"

"Yaya Toure brings Bale down, Modric sends the ball out quickly... Ronaldo volleys!"

"That was close! Ronaldo failed to control the ball and it went over the crossbar!"

"Manchester City's midfield triangle pass, straight pass! Beautiful!"

"Chance!!!"

"Lukaku, Lukaku! You are worthy of being like this! You even missed the empty goal."

"De Bruyne's through pass created a one-on-one opportunity for Lukaku, but unfortunately Lukaku used too much force when shooting at the empty goal, and the ball hit the post and went out..."

"Motorola passes the ball over the top! Benzema heads the ball...ah! Benzema missed the ball, it's Ronaldo!"

"Hit the door!"

"Joe Hart!!!! Joe Hart is simply a god. He saved Ronaldo's tricky shot... Is tonight's game a show by the goalkeeper?"

"De Bruyne made a long pass, Lukaku headed the ball, Yaya Toure made a run in from the back, a world wave!!! The ball was saved..."

"And... Xia Qi made a follow-up shot! Casillas made two consecutive saves. Tonight, Casillas was like an impenetrable Great Wall..."

"The offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides were as swift as the wind. After one of us finished singing, another took the stage..."

online:
[Wonderful! This is the most exciting Champions League final in history. ]

[I was wrong. Before the game, I thought there was no famous final since ancient times. I bet on Manchester City 1:0 Real Madrid. With this style of play, we will start with at least three goals tonight! ]

[Looking at this gives me goosebumps all over my body, and my voice is hoarse from shouting… My blood is boiling, my blood is boiling! ]

[You are lucky. My next-door neighbor came to knock on my door... I should have gone to the bar to watch the game earlier. ]

On the sidelines, Zidane was full of anxiety. He had no confidence at all in launching an offensive against a notorious team like Manchester City. Before the game, he had clearly arranged a defensive counterattack!

Little did they know that Guardiola on the other side also looked unhappy.

The teams he led were never aggressive. He preferred to control the ball and liked to slowly kill the opponents...

Although they were unhappy, neither of them stopped the attack immediately.

This is because they know very well that once this offensive starts, forcibly suppressing it and disrupting the rhythm will lead to a backlash.

Now it all depends on who can’t hold on first and who makes a mistake first!

On the court, the players were unaware that they had annoyed their head coach and they were all in a state of extreme excitement.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Xia Qi, both of them are extremely active and in excellent form.

Each of them becomes a sharp arrow of their own attack.

By the 25th minute of the game, Real Madrid had already had seven shots, of which Ronaldo accounted for four, accounting for more than half of the team's total. Three of the four shots hit the goal frame. If it weren't for Joe Hart's bravery, Ronaldo would have scored the first goal.

Manchester City also had six shots, three of which were from Xia Qi, all three of which hit the goal frame, but failed to score.

The best performers tonight were not the star players of the two teams, but the goalkeepers of the two teams.

To quote Mr. Zhan Jun’s comment: “After this game, Casillas can postpone his retirement, and Joe Hart’s market value will increase by at least one third…”

Such a wonderful confrontation was something no one had expected. Whether it was the fans at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, many people were so fascinated by it that they even shouted themselves hoarse...

The fans at the scene knew that by this point in the game, both sides were already killing each other, the midfielders and backcourt were pushing forward, the intensity of the investment was getting stronger and stronger, so the back line was becoming more and more empty...

Therefore, every "next second" is very likely to result in a goal.

The players are working so hard on the field, how can they just sit there and do nothing?
The singing, shouting, and crowds of people... took turns to appear on the field... It seemed that whoever's fans played harder would score first...

"The attack can't be stopped. Only if one side scores first can this fast pace be broken..."

Zhang Lu paused and explained: "I was eager to score the first goal but didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of these exciting fast breaks..."

"I'm different from you. I'm extremely eager for the attacking ball to come, because attacking is not the goal but scoring is..."

Hungry for a goal!

wrong!
We are eager for Xia Qi to score! (End of this chapter)
