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

More than 20 minutes passed slowly.

Manchester City had a lot of ball possession, but had very few truly threatening shots.

Xia Qi and Sterling had to return to their own half to receive the ball.

At this point, Manchester City finally realized that tonight's opponent was quite difficult.

Alan Pardew on the sidelines was extremely excited. He jumped up high with his hands and feet dancing, threw a set of "Farmer's Three Punches" in the air, and shouted excitedly:

"Yeah! It's done!"

“Halfway to success!”

"Good job, kids!"

Alan Pardew's biggest worry is that Manchester City will score early.

That would be a severe blow to Newcastle United's morale.

At this moment, the game had been going on for more than 20 minutes, and Newcastle United's tactics were executed very successfully.

They withstood Manchester City's fierce bombardment, and the morale of the whole team reached its peak. The players became more and more confident as they played.

Alan Pardew must have conducted in-depth research on Xia Qi and strengthened the defense against Xia Qi. At the same time, the back line was shrunk very far back, leaving no space for Xia Qi to sprint.

Not to mention breaking through with the ball, it was extremely difficult for Xia Qi to even connect with the ball.

As long as other Manchester City players pass the ball to Xia Qi, Xia Qi will immediately be double-teamed by Newcastle United.

For more than 20 minutes, Xia Qi didn't even have a shot on goal.

"It is obvious that Newcastle United is still quite wary of Xia Qi."

"This is beyond doubt. The World Cup, the Champions League, the Premier League... the Grand Slam Golden Boot, you can never be too careful..."

"At this time, Manchester City needs someone to step up offensively."

On the court, although Xia Qi was heavily defended, the fans still sang "Song of Prince Etihad" for him.

Fans still hope that Xia Qi, who is being double-teamed, can step forward and be the hero.

The live broadcast director felt the fans' enthusiasm and gave Xia Qi a close-up.

Although he couldn't touch the ball, Xia Qi kept running without the ball in the frontcourt.

Cabela and Sissoko always follow him closely.

The two of them had no idea what Xia Qi was running for, and looked confused...

Xia Qi, who has the configuration of [Assassin's Creed], has a very strange movement. He will never appear in a dangerous place like a "normal person".

Excellent assassins often hide in "safe zones".

This kind of movement is incomprehensible without "hitting the nail on the head".

Just like Inzaghi in the 1990s, the commentator often used the commentary: "Why is Pop here?"

Similarly, Cabela and Sissoko were also completely confused by Xia Qi's movement.

The two of them defended Xia Qi for more than 20 minutes, and Xia Qi gave them the feeling that he was "unworthy of his reputation."

[The British Emperor Star has huge water content! 】

This was the conclusion the two had drawn about Xia Qi, and so they began to slack off a little in their defense...

Time continues to pass slowly...

Gufran broke through with the ball, and in front of him on the left was Newcastle United striker Perez.

On the right is Anita, who is performing a "wall match" with him.

Newcastle United's midfield and frontcourt attempted to achieve a "counterattack" against Manchester City through a wave of cooperation.

The three of them advanced smoothly, so the two full-backs Dummett and Janmaat also pressed forward, trying to achieve their goal in one fell swoop and establish a leading advantage as soon as possible...

…On defense…

Cabela asked Sissoko: "What is our World Cup Golden Boot running for?"

"He wants to take us running around and drain our energy." Sissoko shrugged and offered a plan, "Let's save some energy..."

Cabela gives this a thumbs up!

As for football stars, they often disappear for 87 minutes and only appear for 3 minutes.

Xia Qi continued to roam in the area that Newcastle United players thought was safe.

After Cabela and Sissoko discussed it, they felt that there was no need to waste energy to double-defend Xia Qi throughout the court. Taking turns to defend was the best way to crack Xia Qi's "sinister intentions".

"You defend Xia Qi alone, and I will defend him in the second half." Sissoko said to Cabella.

Cabela responded with action, charging straight toward Xia Qi.

At the Etihad Stadium,

Everyone's eyes were focused on Newcastle United's attack.

In Newcastle United's half, four Newcastle United players were distributed among them, and two central defenders were guarding the penalty area.

Near the front of the penalty area is Sissoko, and Cabela who is following Xia Qi in a "disorderly" run.

At this moment, Newcastle United's pass in the front court was intercepted.

Gufran passed the ball without noticing Lukaku's retreating movement.

He was so frightened by his sudden attack that he was in a panic and kicked the ball out of the way.

The ball was immediately intercepted by De Bruyne, who then passed it to Sterling, giving him an advantage.

The latter started like an arrow from a bow, rushed past Kolbek and chased after the football.

Colback turned quickly and chased after Sterling.

Facing Sterling who had just "eaten" him alive, he chose to "fight evil with evil".

A fierce shoulder charge, straight towards Sterling.

This is a defensive method commonly used by mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League, and it is also a smart tactic!

Using a tactical approach that is less likely to result in a card and is on the verge of a foul, we try to nip the opponent's counterattack in the bud.

Sterling is about to face tragedy!

As soon as he caught up with the football, Colback's shoulder charge hit him.

Moreover, Sterling did not seem to notice Colback behind him.

A grim smile appeared on Kolbek's face. The "hatred of the rich" mentality was everywhere.

Being able to knock the international player to the ground and make him roll a few times, Kolbek felt as happy as if he had drunk honey.

But just as he was about to hit Sterling,

Sterling, who was running all the way, suddenly braked!

At the same time, pull the football backwards under your feet and move sideways!

"Wow!"

"So clever!"

There were exclamations from the stands all around, and applause was continuous...

Colback had never expected Sterling to have such a skill. At that moment, he suddenly realized the gap between himself and the international team players.

However, even if you understand it, you still can't escape the punishment for making mistakes.

He rushed too fiercely and couldn't stop at all, rushing straight past Sterling...leaving behind laughter all the way...

Kolbek was not willing to become a laughing stock, and he tried to save the situation.

I tried hard to turn around, but I lost my balance.

With a "bang", he fell to the ground, causing even louder laughter.

Then Sterling restarted and sprinted forward!

"Nice quick stop!"

"When Manchester City players adapt to Newcastle United's 'three-pronged' defense, Alan Pardew must come up with new tactics, otherwise the gap in strength between the two teams will further increase, and the possibility of losing the ball will become greater and greater..."

"Yes, before Xia Qi even started to exert his strength, Sterling broke through Newcastle United's midfield on the right..."

Newcastle United's midfield had already been lost, and goalkeeper Krul was shouting loudly in front of the goal, directing his teammates to defend.

Sissoko glanced at Xia Qi who was taking a leisurely walk, and rushed towards Sterling at the urging of the goalkeeper.

In the rush forward, Sterling was like a dancing spirit, with a clever "rhythm difference".

He easily passed Sissoko who rushed over to intercept.

A feeling of bitterness welled up in Sissoko's heart. It was normal to be broken through by others, but to be broken through so easily was really embarrassing.

The two central defenders in the penalty area did not rush to grab the ball blindly.

Williamson, one of the two central defenders, glanced at Xia Qi not far away, and saw that Xia Qi was approaching Sterling at this time, as if the two were going to cooperate with each other.

Williamson was extremely calm. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Keep an eye on Xia Qi!" "Leave Sterling to me!"

On the court, there was a three-on-two situation.

Although Newcastle United has the advantage in numbers, their defense does not actually have much advantage.

Sterling raised his leg instantly without waiting for Williamson to rush forward, and it seemed that he was going to take a long shot directly!

"left!"

Goalkeeper Krul reminded Williamson from behind that it was not easy to completely block Sterling's shooting angle as there was still some distance between the two of them.

At this time, the goalkeeper behind him forms a corner with each other and guards one side. The effect is much better than "blocking the bullet hole with one's body".

Hearing the call, Williamson did not hesitate. He put his hands behind his back and took a step to the left.

It is true that a bystander sees more clearly!

The football failed to completely bypass Williamson and was hit by him, affecting its direction and power.

But it still bounced and rolled towards the Newcastle United goal... Such defense,

Everyone in Newcastle United was quite satisfied. According to common sense, Manchester City's attack should have ended here!

however,

Suddenly,

For some reason, Sissoko felt a surge of fear in his heart!

Where is Xia Qi!

Where is Xia Qi!

Where is Xia Qi who was taking a walk?

Sissoko's eyes quickly swept over and instantly saw a blue lightning rushing in.

Damn Cabela's!

You are such a pig teammate...Ah!!!

Newcastle United goalkeeper Krul saw Sissoko successfully block Sterling's shot.

The power of the football weakened, and he felt a little relieved.

Then he lowered his center of gravity, knelt on one knee and prepared to hug the football, but then a "thing" that shouldn't have appeared broke into his eyes!

Ah!

A scream!

It’s really not a “thing”!

Krull was terrified.

His posture at this time was extremely unfavorable for competing for the football.

Damn!

Too careless!

Although it was difficult to exert strength at the moment, Krul still pushed the ground with his legs desperately, trying to rush out... to fight for it.

At the same time, the other central defender, Kolochini, was also careless. He realized it only after Xia Qi rushed in.

There is no time to worry about the "Red Dot Package" at this moment, it's time to make up for the loss!

Just a tackle in the penalty area...

On the sidelines, the old coach Alan Pardew covered his face with his hands. He could imagine that Xia Qi would fall down in the next second.

This is the most reliable way to deal with it. Some forwards are born to "dive", not to mention that this is fair and aboveboard...

however,

No!

Xia Qi rushed forward quickly and did not give Kolochini a chance to take a red card and rest.

He caught up with the ball, dribbled to the right, changed direction, dodged to the outside, and barely avoided Coloccini's tackle.

Then, he dribbled the ball again, pushed it back, and headed towards the goal again, trying to pass through the narrow two-meter-wide passage between the goalkeeper and the center back.

Krull was overjoyed.

Haha!

Xia Qi is arrogant!

This is an opportunity!

He quickly exerted force with his legs again.

But ideals are full, and reality is skinny.

He started by kneeling on one knee, which seemed similar to an athlete in a 100-meter race, but was actually quite different.

The legs of other 100-meter runners are storing power, ready to sprint forward at any time, but his legs are not storing power.

In a hurry, he suddenly changed his center of gravity and rushed out. It was not easy.

At this moment, in order to intercept Xia Qi who had come back, he made a second effort, but the result was just a "frog jump".

But it seemed to be enough, because he was a goalkeeper and could use his hands.

He leaped forward and slapped the football at Xia Qi's feet with both hands.

however,

But I only captured the afterimage left by Xia Qi.

Krull let out a roar of dissatisfaction!

If he had just lunged sideways, he would never have let Xia Qi disappear from his sight.

Although the frog jump is enough in terms of distance, it still lacks in speed!

A series of exclamations rang out again from the surrounding stands.

Xia Qi said Cao Cao and Cao Cao appeared → exclaimed,

Kolochini threw the shovel desperately → exclaimed,

Xia Qi barely avoided the tackle → exclaimed,

Xia Qi didn't shoot but bounced the ball back → exclaimed,

Krul's save was just a hair's breadth away → exclaimed,

Xia Qi is really skilled and bold → exclaimed,

Seeing Xia Qi really put the ball into the net as he wished, in addition to the exclamations, there were also deafening cheers that could be heard from ten miles away...

Suddenly, the song of Prince Ittihad resounded through the sky...

...

...

"Wow!"

"It's Xia Qi! Xia Qi's follow-up shot!"

"Ah, no!"

"I couldn't kick the ball because Coloccini made a tackle."

"Beautiful! You can shoot now!"

"Ah? Xia Qi dribbled the ball towards the goal!"

"Krull fell to the ground and fell sideways!"

"slow!"

"Oh my god! What did I see?"

"Xia Qi passed the goalkeeper!"

"Xia Qi dribbled past the goalkeeper, just like Ronaldo dribbled past the goalkeeper and headed for the empty goal!"

"Too cool! Isn't Xia Qi afraid of being blocked by Krul after the game?"

"A striker who can't get past the goalkeeper is not a good striker!"

"Confidence is a must for a good shooter. Maybe in our eyes, Xia Qi's choice is not wise, but in Xia Qi's heart, this choice may be the best..."

"Dear viewers, after more than 1 minutes of strong attack, Manchester City finally scored the first goal by Xia Qi. They are now leading Newcastle United 0:."

"Xia Qi was very skilled and bold. He didn't shoot directly, but dribbled past the defender and goalkeeper.

It was a beautiful goal, but what I want to know more is how he got there, and was Cabela, who was defending him, asleep? "

Due to the limitation of the live camera, commentators Zhan and Zhang were not able to see clearly.

How did Xia Qi get rid of the defense and appear in front of the ball like "Speak of the devil and he will appear"...

...In fact, many fans at the scene were also unable to see clearly...When the live camera swept to the surrounding stands, many people's movements were surprisingly consistent, and they all raised their heads to look at the LED screen above the court...
