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

Chapter 289: Damn, is this still a human being?

"Wow! A textbook escape!"

"Look at Xia Qi's breakthrough this time!"

In the Penguin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's voice suddenly became excited.

Xia Qi was seen running across the court like a flash of lightning. If this breakthrough is successful, it will surely be a brilliant performance of "one-stop".

All those who support Manchester City and Xia Qi felt their blood boiling instantly and their excitement was beyond words.

At this time, Guardiola could no longer contain his excitement. He walked out of the coaching seat, paced to the edge of the court, and his eyes were fixed on Xia Qi.

On the court, the atmosphere was like a taut bowstring, making everyone's heart hang in the balance.

Xia Qi was moving at lightning speed and was about to leave his opponent behind.

Pogba panicked and slapped Xia Qi on the back without thinking carefully.

Xia Qi, who was accelerating, lost his balance, staggered and almost fell, but he still managed to control the football.

At this time, Carrick made timely defense and stretched his leg to poke the ball while Xia Qi's center of gravity was unstable.

While Xia Qi was staggering, he pulled the football with his left foot and flicked the ball with the inside of his foot, and the football reached his right foot again.

He then pulled the ball sideways and avoided Carrick's attempt to steal it.

Although the whole action cannot be described as graceful and beautiful, and even seems a bit forced, upon closer inspection, it has a unique charm, just like the drunken boxing in Chinese Kung Fu, which seems to rely on luck but is actually real Kung Fu.

After dodging Carrick's attempt to steal the ball, Xia Qi pushed the ball forward with his left toe, pushed off the ground with his right foot, and rushed out like a rabbit.

Phil Jones, who rushed out of the penalty area to replace Carrick, never expected that Xia Qi, who was still unstable in the previous second, could speed up again in this second.

He was shocked in his heart, but his feet reacted quickly.

He stretched out his right leg diagonally to the left, and in a flash he caught the football that Xia Qi had kicked out.

Although this rub did not completely destroy the football, it made it bounce up.

Xia Qi broke past Phil Jones, but the football fell behind him.

At this time, if Xia Qi turned around and took the ball, Phil Jones would come over, and Carrick, Fletcher, Pogba and others would also quickly return to defense. By then, even if Xia Qi had three heads and six arms, he would be stuck.

Manchester United fans saw this scene and cheered loudly.

"Pretty!"

"This is a great defense! Phil has proved his worth. This is a performance at the level of the world's top defender. Xia Qi's 'one-stop breakthrough' ends here!"

On the Manchester United bench, Manchester United captain Rooney jumped up excitedly, pumped his fist and roared, cheering loudly for Phil Jones.

Missed opportunity?

Missed it?

On the court, Xia Qi turned around as expected.

In an instant, the cheers of Manchester United fans made the Manchester City players feel as if they were sitting on the crater of an erupting volcano.

Rooney stood on the sidelines, waving his fists and directing his teammates to quickly approach Xia Qi, preparing to "single-handedly" challenge Xia Qi. The fat Rooney even made a boxing move.

However, Xia Qi only wants to challenge Phil Jones alone.

He was seen leaning on Phil Jones, pushing the ground hard with his left foot, leaning forward, and maintaining his balance with his hands outstretched.

The whole person was like a twist, with the left foot as the axis, half of the body was in the air and turned around.

While turning around, his right foot in the air was swung up like a windmill, and his calf swung, and his right foot hit the bouncing football firmly with the instep of his right foot.

A scissor kick, a half turn, and a volley!

Xia Qi connected the three moves together smoothly and without any dryness, and did not give Carrick, Fletcher and Pogba who were returning to defense any chance at all.

Turn around and get the ball?

No! We turned and shot!

The football rushed towards the goal with an unstoppable momentum, fast and fierce, and reached the goal almost in the blink of an eye.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea had no time to make a save. Like everyone else, he thought that Phil Jones had completed a world-class defense and was looking forward to the ensuing battle.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qi did not follow the usual path and completed an extremely difficult shot in the blink of an eye.

"The ball is in!"

"1:1! Xia Qi miraculously equalized the score in the 28th minute!"

"This is a shot full of endless imagination, it's simply unimaginable!"

"Xia Qi did it! He was like a god, and he cleverly used all the seemingly unfavorable factors, turning them into assists for his shot, and successfully scored the goal!"

"After half an hour of fierce fighting, the two sides returned to the same starting line. Rooney's punch not only failed to knock Xia Qi down, but hit themselves..."

On the sidelines, Mourinho was stunned. He kept wiping his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

Guardiola's situation was not much better. His wide-open eyes were no smaller than Mourinho's, but their expressions were completely different. One was as gloomy as water, while the other was ecstatic.

After Xia Qi kicked the ball in mid-air, he fell heavily on the grass. Then he saw the football propped up a yurt-like shape in the net... It's cool! Isn't it? - Xia Qi grinned.

Manchester City players did not celebrate wildly. An eight-game winning streak greatly boosted the morale of the players, and equalizing the score was not enough to make them overly excited.

Soon, the game continued.

Kane passed the ball to Pogba, Valencia made a low cross from the wing, Kane shot in the penalty area, and the ball was firmly held in Joe Hart's arms.

Joe Hart jumped up instantly after falling to the ground and quickly drove the ball to the front court. As a close friend of Xia Qi, he naturally hoped that his good buddy could continue to maintain the honorable title of "Mr. Halftime".

At this moment, more than 30 minutes of the game have passed, and every remaining minute and every second seems extremely "precious".

The football was like a cruise missile, flying straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt, heading towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi jumped high near the center circle, headed the ball to De Bruyne, and then turned and rushed into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne performed a two-on-one wall pass with Silva and dribbled the ball to the top of Manchester United's penalty area.

De Bruyne dribbled the ball under his feet, looked up at the Manchester United penalty area, and then kicked the ball into the penalty area.

The football was not passed to Xia Qi, but to the near corner of the goal.

At the moment of passing the ball, there was a gap, Sterling rushed forward at high speed, but under the interference of Rafael, he made a shovel shot, and the ball hit the near post, bounced up, and still flew towards the goal.

Such refraction makes the football's path appear somewhat erratic even though its speed is not fast.

De Gea didn't dare to take the risk of holding the ball in his arms, for fear of losing it. After all, Lukaku and Xia Qi were lurking in the penalty area.

He took the most conservative approach and punched the football out through the crowd.

The football flew to the top right corner of the penalty area. There was no one there at the moment, so it was an empty space, otherwise De Gea would not have shot there.

The player closest to the space at this time is Fletcher, followed by De Bruyne, which is another reason why De Gea hit the ball here.

However, the moment De Gea swung his fist, Xia Qi in the small penalty area had already started.

AI is faster than humans in accurately judging where the football will land, which allows Xia Qi to seize the initiative and be one step faster than Fletcher who is closer.

He rushed to where the football landed, met the falling football, stretched out his right foot and gently cushioned it, while turning around himself, and then saw Fletcher rushing over.

During the high-speed sprint, Fletcher saw Xia Qi grab the ball and complete the turn.

Fletcher also demonstrated his strength at that moment. He successfully turned around under extremely difficult circumstances. Just as Xia Qi was about to pass him, he reached out and grabbed Xia Qi's jersey, and almost hugged Xia Qi with his other hand.

Fletcher was so anxious that he only focused on defending and had no time to think about it.

But his teammates and coaches were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fletcher's move was too obvious. If Xia Qi fell to the ground...

Mourinho was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, for he was afraid that his reminder would make Xia Qi "dive".

It is no wonder that Mourinho would judge others by his own standards. He has many diving players under him, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sneijder...

However, what makes Mourinho feel a little relieved is that Xia Qi has always had a very good reputation.

This is indeed the case!

Xia Qi did not fall to the ground, which won the favor of many Manchester United fans.

Despite Fletcher's pull, Xia Qi still persisted and tried to break through.

Fletcher was hanging behind him, and Fletcher, who used the "Thousand Gold Pendant" to try to stop Xia Qi from returning to the penalty area, unexpectedly helped Xia Qi stabilize his center of gravity.

Xia Qi immediately seized the opportunity, pushed the ball and shot!

Xia Qi’s choice made Fletcher angry and embarrassed!

He was intent on "causing destruction", but he became the recoil of Xia Qi's red cannon. Not only did he not cause any damage, but he actually helped...

It’s true, you can tolerate the familiar, but you can’t tolerate the raw!

When Xia Qi was about to hit the football, he removed the downward force and pushed forward with his backhand.

As for whether or not you will get a card, it doesn’t matter at this point.

But his little black hand had no effect on Xia Qi, and Xia Qi's right foot still hit the football firmly.

There was a loud "bang"!

The football suddenly flew up!

However, the flying football hit a sudden black shadow...

"Lukaku!"

The person who rushed over to block the shot hole with his body was actually Xia Qi's teammate Lukaku!!!

Such a powerful shot, even though Lukaku was as strong as a bear, fell to the ground after being hit by the ball.

Xia Qi had been pushed by Fletcher before, and then he kicked hard, so his center of balance was unstable and he fell down with a bang.

The ball bounced towards Fletcher who was uncontested.

Just as Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief, the football hit Fletcher on the head, who was at a loss and had no reaction. With a "bang", it bounced back and flew towards the goal again.

The person most affected by this lightning-fast change was Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

He flew out when Xia Qi shot, but the football did not come as expected, but was resolved by the "lurker" Lukaku.

De Gea had just breathed a sigh of relief when the football flew towards him again.

Because the flight direction was opposite to him at the time, poor De Gea could only watch the football fly into the empty net unimpeded.

"Ah! So dramatic! The ball goes in!"

"An own goal from Fletcher! In the Manchester derby, one player contributed an own goal, and Manchester City overtook Manchester United."

"The gamblers will be pissed off for tonight's game. Fletcher pulled and tugged but ended up helping the opponent score a goal."

"Forgive my imagination, I only guessed the ending but not the process..."

At the moment Xia Qi scored a goal, the Penguin live broadcast room was full of comments...

The unexpected reversal of the score made Manchester City players extremely excited. Players rushed in from all directions like a tide and surrounded Xia Qi and Lukaku tightly.

Lukaku's national team teammate De Bruyne pointed at Lukaku's nose and scolded him with a smile: "Why don't you just exchange jerseys with Fletcher..."

Lukaku looked pitiful and said aggrievedly: "I was the assist... I was the hero..."

"No, you are the traitor!"

"."

On the other side, Fletcher sat on the lawn in a daze, his mind was a mess at the moment...

He never figured out whether Xia Qi's fall was caused by an unstable center of gravity or just going with the flow?

If his center of gravity was unstable, how could he hit the football so steadily, accurately and fiercely; if he was just going with the flow, then Xia Qi's reaction was top-notch.

Thinking of this, Fletcher couldn't help but shudder and cursed inwardly: "Damn it! Is this still a human being?"

After the referee ruled that the goal was valid, there was booing at Old Trafford, but soon they started clapping rhythmically to cheer for the Manchester United players.

Mourinho sat in the coaching booth, holding his forehead helplessly, with a feeling of "fuck it" welling up in his heart!

Damn, it's so disgusting!

Fletcher's defense against Xia Qi was very hard, and his luck was not bad. You have to know that the opponent's players helped to block the loophole first, which led to the series of situations later...

If Lukaku had not "revolted on the battlefield", it would have been extremely difficult for De Gea to catch the football traveling at a speed of over 160 km/h.

Mourinho gathered his broken mood and directed his players to attack.

"Give the ball to Pogba, Kane, you retreat and get the ball, create space in the front court..."

The game kicks off again.

Carrick got in from the back and after receiving the pass from Pogba, he passed it diagonally to Kane. On his passing route, Yaya Toure on the defensive side made a rare mistake, stretching his legs to intercept the ball but failed to touch the ball, and the ball slipped through.

Such mistakes are extremely rare in Yaya Toure's football career.

Kane successfully beat the offside in the penalty area, shook off Kompany who was defending him, and shot at the back post of Yaya Toure.

The football hit the goal post and was just about to equalize the score.

"That was a close call! This young guy is definitely capable of taking over Rooney's mantle. Manchester City's defenders have to be extra careful!" Zhan Jun exclaimed with lingering fear.

After this wave of defense, Yaya Toure put his hands together and sincerely apologized to his teammates. He himself didn't understand why his feet suddenly slipped and almost caused a big mistake.

He was also terrified.

Joe Hart waved to the caddy to give him the ball, but the smart little caddy deliberately dragged his feet and only threw the ball to Joe Hart after all the Manchester United players retreated.

At this point, it was meaningless for Joe Hart to kick the ball as quickly as he did in the previous shot.

As the game continued, the atmosphere at Old Trafford became even more heated because of Kane's shot that was just a hair's breadth away. Cheers and cheers were heard one after another...

At this time, Xia Qi retreated to support, Silva broke through on the wing, was intercepted, and made a diagonal pass, and the ball flew in front of Xia Qi...
