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

In Real Madrid's locker room, Cristiano Ronaldo and others were in high spirits, the atmosphere was warm and cheerful. Although they were behind in the score, they were full of confidence and firmly believed that they could defeat Manchester City.

Zidane took the opportunity to offer some inspirational quotes!
"I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half," said Zidane.

"However, we are still one point behind our opponents and that requires us to do better. To be better than our opponents.

The second half of the game is the final decisive battle. Whether a season's hard work will be rewarded or in vain will be revealed in 45 minutes.

I hope you will fight with even greater determination, even more resolute fighting spirit, and an extreme desire for victory and the championship, and go all out in the last 45 minutes..."

"When defending in the second half, we have to pay more attention to Xia Qi's movement. If we can't stop Xia Qi, then we have to stop the people who pass the ball to him..."

"Defending well is only the first step. Don't forget that we are still behind in the score. I need you to score goals..."

At the same time, in Manchester City's locker room, Guardiola was doing the same thing.

"Don't be discouraged, we are still one goal ahead! Remember why we let the opponent score a goal at the end of the game. We must not let this happen again in the second half..."

"In the second half of the game, we must play steadily and not attack blindly... Xia Qi, Ding Ding, you two must control the rhythm. We are the leading side, and they should be the ones who are anxious..."

"The one-goal advantage is not stable. When the opportunity comes, we must seize it firmly. This requires everyone to be highly focused. I don't want to see the situation where someone steals the tower because of inattention again..."

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed in a flash, and the second half of the game began.

Neither side made any substitutions and the starting lineup remained the same. Both Manchester City head coach Guardiola and Real Madrid head coach Zidane firmly believed that the starting lineup and tactics were the best choice.

So no changes were made.

...

...

The second half of the game had just started three minutes ago.

Manchester City launched a seemingly normal attack. At that time, De Bruyne controlled the ball in the midfield, and Kroos and Modric immediately stepped forward to double-team him.

Facing an opponent who was outnumbered and bullying the weak, De Bruyne immediately passed the ball to Sterling, who pulled the ball and turned around.

Just as he was about to start a breakthrough, he was forced back by Casemiro.

Sterling's thin body was like a three-year-old child in front of Casemiro and he had no power to resist at all.

Fortunately, Sterling has solid technical skills and managed to protect the ball while stumbling, preventing Casemiro's plan to steal the ball from him from succeeding. However, he was unable to achieve a breakthrough as planned.

Sterling passed the ball back to De Bruyne while staggering.

Modric and Kroos double-teamed De Bruyne again.

This is the tactic formulated by Zidane. If he can't stop Xia Qi, then he will stop the person who delivers the ball to him.

De Bruyne is contained!!!
However, this aroused De Bruyne's high fighting spirit!!!
They don't let me connect the "Ding-Xia" line, but I insist on setting up a practice center in this snail shell and completing the "Ding-Xia" line.

In a very small space, De Bruyne barely moved his calves and lifted the ball up...

This is De Bruyne's "unique skill", which allows him to pass the ball in a small space.

The football flew over Modric's head and also passed through Real Madrid's entire defense line.

Like a rainbow, it floated down towards the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid...

Modric, Kroos, Ramos... and other Real Madrid players never expected that De Bruyne could pass the ball in such a close and embarrassing situation.

They didn't have time to react defensively, and the only thing they could do was turn their heads and look at the football.

Then, center back Ramos and his partner Varane were horrified to find that behind them, there was a blue figure chasing the football in the air.

Ramos and Varane almost turned around and chased after the opponent, raising their arms and shouting loudly: "Offside!"
However, the Dutch referee ignored it, and the linesman did not raise the flag. He ran closely behind the blue figure - Manchester City's number nine player Xia Qi - on the sidelines.

"Not offside!"

"This ball is not offside!"

Commentator Zhan Jun roared with excitement.

Ramos and Varane saw the linesman's actions and knew that Xia Qi was not offside, so they became more panicked.

At that moment, he used all his strength to speed up and chase after Xia Qi.

At this moment, both of them prayed to the "Goddess of Victory", praying that De Bruyne's lob pass would be too strong or too weak, or at least have a flaw, otherwise no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to change the situation.

Don't even say it.

Prayer does help.

De Bruyne's pass was indeed short, and Xia Qi indeed ran too far.

If it was Xia Qi in AI state, this scene would definitely not happen, but at this time it was Xia Qi who was playing football.

He thought that his good brother would give him an advance notice as he had done in the past, so he rushed forward desperately.

But De Bruyne can't do it!
It is already extremely difficult for him to pass the ball under double-teaming and still create a threat, so how can he achieve perfection?
The football landed half a meter behind Xia Qi.

This gave Ramos and Varane a final chance for redemption.

At this moment, the two of them added a little more strength to their feet and accelerated towards where the football landed.

At this time, Xia Qi had to brake suddenly and turn around to rush towards the football.

In the stands.

"Come on!"

English and Spanish sounded together, with the same meaning, both cheering for their own players.

Ramos is worthy of being called a "defender". His speed is enough to play as a winger. He is two body lengths faster than Varane and is very close to the football and Xia Qi.

Behind Xia Qi, Casillas had also left the goal.

now.

As long as Xia Qi chooses to stop the ball, with Ramos in front and Casillas behind him, it is very likely that Xia Qi's attack will be stopped or destroyed.

In the stands, Manchester City fans also saw through this and shouted, “Overhead kick!”

At this moment, the only way to resolve Xia Qi's predicament is to play a hook shot.
Xia Qi had completed this football shooting action many times before.

But these are all achieved when the AI ​​plays on behalf of others.

Oh shit,

Fight!

Xia Qi gritted his teeth.

Decided to fight.

He did not try to stop the ball, but instead jumped high and leaned his body backward, like a top-heavy person standing upside down.

At the same time, with both legs in the air, press the left leg down and swing the right leg up to kick the football above the right foot.

"Boom!"

A loud bang!
Xia Qi's right foot hit the football firmly.

The football instantly turned into a meteor and rushed towards the goal.

Casillas' attack has been completed three-quarters and is very close to Xia Qi.

Seeing Xia Qi jump up and hook the ball, he subconsciously jumped up as well, raising his arms high.

But nothing was intercepted.

The football flew unimpeded into the empty goal.

"The ball is in!"

"Nice overhead kick!"

"When the Champions League king Cristiano Ronaldo just sounded the clarion call for a counterattack, Xia Qi knocked him down again..."

After Zhan Jun finished his explanation, his partner Zhang Lu added:
"Xia Qi used a brilliant overhead kick to suppress all those who disobeyed him..."
