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

The FA Cup has come to an end, and Arsenal players felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders. Fighting on two fronts is indeed a little easier than fighting on three fronts.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City started to grab points in the following period.

After 36 rounds of the league, Manchester City fell behind first, four points behind the leader Arsenal, leaving only a theoretical possibility.

Arsenal leads the standings with 90 points, followed by Chelsea with one point, and Manchester City is currently in third place with 86 points.

These three teams are championship contenders, while the relegation zones are Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff City. Among them, Norwich's relegation is only theoretically possible at present, while Fulham still has a glimmer of hope.

Arsenal's opponents in the remaining two rounds are Tottenham and the still-surviving Fulham.

Chelsea's opponents are Norwich and Tottenham.

The British media jokingly called Tottenham the king of the Premier League because it can decide who wins the Premier League title, which is more powerful than the champion. Tottenham shouted before the game that they would never let their arch-rival Arsenal win the title. White Hart Lane will become Arsenal's burial ground.

Xia Qi scoffed at this! He told the reporter: "A praying mantis with its arms outstretched blocked the car..."

In an extremely tense atmosphere, on May 14, the entire Arsenal team took a bus to White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotspur is ranked 8th in the league with 79 points. It is a team with no desires and should have played the game in a relaxed manner. However, it chose to add drama to itself and wanted to beat Arsenal at home to achieve the reputation of the uncrowned king.

However, their ambition only lasted for more than 20 minutes. After Arsenal blocked Tottenham's three-pronged attack in the storm, they began to exert their strength.

First, De Bruyne made a diagonal pass that broke through Tottenham's defense. After receiving the ball, Xia Qi did not shoot when facing the goalkeeper, but instead made a cross pass to assist Balotelli to score the first goal.

Three minutes later, Balotelli headed the ball in front, and Xia Qi rushed to the back point and shot, scoring another goal.

At the end of the first half, Tottenham was trailing 0:2.

After the start of the second half, Tottenham, whether they were defeated or had a "lazy disease" attack, lost the initiative of the first half. Many players, like "Fu Huan", did not work hard, the level of the game dropped sharply, and Arsenal took the opportunity to score three goals in a row.

In the end, they won a 0:5 victory over their boastful opponent away from home.

In another match, Chelsea beat Norwich 3-0 at home, bidding them farewell to the Premier League.

"There is no change in the standings, and the Premier League title remains suspense until the last round."

"Arsenal will host Fulham, who can avoid relegation by winning one point, while Chelsea will face Tottenham, who have already said they will not stop Chelsea."

"Although Fulham is weaker than Tottenham, Arsenal is under more pressure than Chelsea because their opponents will definitely go all out to avoid relegation."

Even so, in the pre-match championship predictions, Arsenal still led by a 64 percent chance.

Football experts believe that in the face of absolute strength, all ambitions will be shattered, and the ambitious Tottenham has already proved this.

The English Football Association organized two identical award ceremonies, one at Craven Cottage and the other at White Hart Lane.

All four teams in the competition are from London.

The host of the London TV Sports Channel proudly said: "Today at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, London will become the center of world football. Fans from all over the world are watching here.

Regardless of which team wins the trophy, they are both the pride of London..."

At 5 pm on May 21st, the entire Arsenal team took a bus to Craven Cottage Stadium on the Thames.

During the warm-up, Xia Qi discovered that two-thirds of the seats at Craven Cottage, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people, were occupied by Arsenal fans.

Xia Qi and his teammates smiled. Whose home field is this? The Fulham boss is a bit short-sighted.

However, after the game started, Xia Qi and others soon stopped laughing. Just over a minute into the game, Fulham made a long pass from the back post, and striker Kasami received the ball, made a slight adjustment, and scored.

Fulham was leading Arsenal 1:0, while another match between Chelsea and Tottenham had just kicked off.

When the score from Craven Cottage was transmitted to White Hart Lane, Tottenham fans shouted: "Hurry up and score a goal. If you score a goal, you will be the champion."

Hearing the cheers from the fans, the Chelsea players were full of energy.

However, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The more impatient you are, the simpler your playing style will be, and the more messy your footwork will be.

In the next ten minutes or so, Chelsea took six shots but failed to score a single one.

Mourinho was so anxious that he was like an ant on hot pan, pacing around the sidelines of the court.

At Craven Cottage, Arsenal players were stunned by Fulham's lightning strike.

After he came to his senses, he became furious and surrounded the Fulham players in front of the penalty area and beat them violently.

If a weak team wants to score points against a strong team, it has to be thick-skinned and able to withstand the beating.

Fulham's bus defense was still very good. Even though Xia Qi was hanging on him, his two shots were blocked by the opponent's body.

Thirty minutes passed like this.

The two games are:

Fulham beat Arsenal 1-0, Arsenal has 93 points.

Tottenham 0:0 Chelsea, Chelsea points 93 points,

If this is the final score between the two teams, Arsenal will successfully defend the title because of the larger goal difference.

In this situation, Mourinho was getting anxious and angry. He had five forwards on the front line, but still couldn't score a goal.

As luck would have it, to make matters worse, Lampard received a red card for a tackle from behind during a defensive match.

Mourinho hadn't started to get anxious yet, but Tottenham fans were the first to get anxious. They shouted to their own players: "Let him score one!" "Let him score one!"

Tottenham players and coaches were all green in the face. They could slack off but they could never let the game go. This is the bottom line for football practitioners.

Chelsea still has to rely on themselves to score goals.

Soon the time was up, it was injury time in the first half.

Fulham just wants to get one point and successfully avoid relegation.

Having already got three points, they focused on defense and did not attack. In the injury time of the first half, the total number of shots was 1:12.

Fulham scored a goal with just one shot, while Arsenal scored zero goals with 12 shots.

Suddenly, voices calling out "Xia Qi!" "Xia Qi!" "Xia Qi!" rang out over the Craven Cottage Stadium.

The shouts seemed to have some kind of magic. Xia Qi felt that his whole body was full of energy, and even the air at Craven Cottage was sweet.

He waved for the ball and Fulham defender Ritter immediately came up to him. Behind him, another defender Heitinga also took position.

Xia Qi didn't want to be double-teamed, so he moved sideways with the ball, trying to create space and make other plans.

Of course, Fulham defenders couldn't let Xia Qi have his way. Ritter and Heitinga followed Xia Qi's movements like dog-skin plasters.

This move actually gave Xia Qi an opportunity. Although the two of them were behind Xia Qi, they were still within Xia Qi's "sight".

AI’s vision is different from that of humans.

Xia Qi, who was dribbling the ball sideways, suddenly braked, causing Ritt to hit his back and his heels to hit him. The ball passed through the gap between Ritt and Heitinga.

Then, the most exciting scene happened. Xia Qi did not turn around, but stepped back directly.

Because Ritt hit Xia Qi, his center of gravity did not shift, and when Xia Qi stepped back, he was knocked away.

And walk backwards,

This was completely unexpected for Heitinga.

Or to say it was beyond everyone's expectation.

When Xia Qi passed by Heitinga, his face was full of shock! This was also the expression of all the fans in the stands.

After passing Heitinga, Xia Qi turned around to receive the ball, and then shot the ball. When the ball went into the net,

Goalkeeper Stockdale's face was full of: Can anyone tell me what happened?

"The ball went in. Xia Qi pretended to change direction to trick the defenders into moving. When a flaw appeared in Fulham's defense, he suddenly stepped back, turned around and shot in one go!"

Maybe it’s because Xia Qi scored too many “incredible” goals that no one questioned why he had “eyes” on the back of his head? ?

1: 1!

This was the score at the end of the first half, while in another game, the score between Chelsea and Tottenham was still 0:0.

The pressure was on Mourinho.

After the halftime break, Chelsea played in a very methodical manner after the start of the second half, with one man less.

Of course, this is also because Tottenham players played conservatively.

In any case, Chelsea finally scored a crucial goal in the 56th minute.

Chelsea, who won 0:1, now has 95 points, surpassing Arsenal, which has 94 points.

1:1 draw, no way to win the championship!

The rhythmic chanting once again rang out over Craven Cottage: "Xia Qi!" "Xia Qi!" "Xia Qi!"

Fulham fans were terrified when they heard this.

They must get one point to avoid relegation. At this moment, it is like standing on the edge of a cliff. If Arsenal takes one more step, they will fall into the abyss.

Fulham players also became nervous. When facing Xia Qi's defense, there would often be three or five people surrounding him.

However, the more this happens, the faster it will collapse.

Xia Qi in AI mode will not get carried away, even if the cheers of Arsenal fans overturn the roof of Craven Cottage.

Xia Qi remained calm. He found a precise passing route in the dense "forest of feet".

The first time, the ball was passed out, and Balotelli's counterattack was a little slow, and he barely shot the ball without using any strength.

The football was caught in the arms of goalkeeper Stockdale.

The second time, Balotelli was well prepared. He met the ground ball sent by Xia Qi and knocked it diagonally, not seeking credit.

Walcott pushed the ball into the goal from behind the goal.

1: 2!

In the 68th minute of the second half, Arsenal turned defeat into victory and regained the top spot in the standings.

Since then, the haze over Craven Cottage has been swept away.

In order to gain league points and stay in the Premier League, Fulham went all out.

For Arsenal, this was undoubtedly a dead end. Thinking of the shame of having 12 shots in the first half and no goals,

Arsenal players began to "retaliate". First, Balotelli received a through ball from De Bruyne and shot from the front of the penalty area.

1: 3!

Arsenal lead by two goals.

Afterwards, Xia Qi scored twice, locking his league goal record at 82 and his total goals this season at 105.

1:6 was the final score.

After the whistle, all Fulham players collapsed to the ground, and several players burst into tears.

For some of them, there will be no chance to play in the Premier League anymore and they will end their football career in the Championship.

In another stadium, players wearing blue jerseys also shed tears...

This is the cruelty of competitive sports. There is only one winner, no one else.

...

...

This is the second time Xia Qi has won the Premier League title, but he is still very excited!

Just like the first time, they kept making noise from the locker room to the court and back to the locker room, tirelessly.

Finally, with the help of the club staff, they got on the open-top bus and returned to the Colney training base with the trophy.

On the way back, some fans asked: "Are we going to have a parade tonight?"

Xia Qi replied domineeringly: "No, there is still one beautiful girl missing. Let's celebrate together when the fifth princess arrives."

The fans immediately burst into cheers that shook the city of London:

"Arsenal! Long live!"
