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

Chapter 224: One Sword to Seal the Throat Gama Over!



"Xia Qi!" Huang Jianxiang was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He yelled hysterically: "Overhead hook! It was an overhead kick! Xia Qi scored in such an incredible way to widen the score again and shattered the Italians' hope of equalizing."

He Wei was so excited that his voice broke: "Overhead bicycle kick! Xia Qi extinguished the flames of the Italians' pursuit with the overhead kick."

"Rooney made a lob pass, Xia Qi was offside, facing the chasing defender and the attacking goalkeeper, Xia Qi ran a little further and then turned back, which was the finishing touch..."

....

.....

After the goal whistle sounded, the England players were extremely excited!

It is no secret that after Italy scored two goals in a row, the English players were really thrown into disarray.

The excitement was as intense as the panic at that time. This emotion was also the mood of the English fans in the stands.

England's fans were ecstatic at this moment, as if they had already won the World Cup.

Their cheers were like thunder, resounding throughout the stadium.

Their faces were filled with irrepressible smiles and their eyes were shining with excitement.

Some fans jumped for joy, releasing their inner joy; some fans hugged each other tightly and kissed each other; some fans were shirtless, waving their jerseys...

In contrast, the faces of Italian fans were filled with disappointment and frustration.

They sat silently, some of them held their heads in their hands, unable to accept this cruel reality; some of them had confused eyes, as if they had lost their way; others sighed quietly, worried about the bleak future of the team...

On the court,

The moment the whistle sounded, disappointment surged into the hearts of the Italian players like a surging tide, and their faces were filled with desolation and helplessness.

Faced with the scene of English players piling up in front of their own goal, they felt angry but powerless, and their hearts were filled with deep frustration.

When Italy scored two goals in a row, they had ignited the hope of a reversal, but the cold water of reality ruthlessly extinguished this flame.

Verratti and Barzagli lowered their heads, as if the whole world was weighing on their shoulders, extremely heavy. Their eyes revealed endless disappointment, a kind of unspeakable pain.

Buffon wanted to go forward to comfort him, but finally chose to give up. He knew very well that comforting him at this time might be in vain.

The team's "happy fruit" - Balotelli was not happy at the moment. Xia Qi's evil smile always appeared in front of him, and in his mind, there was always a voice saying "I'm not kidding you anymore, Gama Over!" He inexplicably felt a sense of "I want to kill the thief but I can't save the situation".

The entire team was immersed in an atmosphere of disappointment. The players' steps became heavy and their fighting spirit seemed to disappear in an instant.

....

.....

Prandelli stood on the sidelines, looking at the bench, his expression was serious and his mood was bad.

This result is worse than Balotelli not chasing the 2nd place!

There are still more than 2 minutes left. We are two goals behind at 4:. We still have a chance. We need to mobilize the fighting spirit of the whole team and make substitutions, which will be more effective than words.

Language is pale and powerless at this moment.

Who can be replaced?

After a brief thought, Prandelli decided to go all out and replaced Verratti and Marchisio with Insigne and Cassano.

He guessed that England, which was leading by two goals, would play a defensive counterattack. Why attack when they were leading by two goals?

....

....

After the game resumed, just as Prandelli expected, Xia Qi led the team to start defending with all their strength.

But the morale of the Italian team was obviously affected by the goal they lost. They were anxious to catch up and played anxiously.

There were even unforced passing errors.

on the field,

England's formation retreated steadily, and there was no interception in the midfield or frontcourt, allowing Italy, which made a mistake, to escape.

Henderson, one of England's double defensive midfielders, retreated to the back line and played with five defenders.

Xia Qi retreated to Henderson's original position and stood parallel to Gerrard.

Although striker Rooney really wanted to score a hat trick, he still followed Xia Qi's command and retreated to his own half. This time he retreated very deep, retreating to an area about 40 meters in front of the goal.

Cassano dribbled the ball forward madly without encountering any obstruction.

He looked up and observed the English defense line and was a little speechless!

This is too shameless!

Mourinho style is coming!

At this time, England had nine players piled up near the penalty area. Except for Rooney who was a little further away, everyone else was around the penalty area.

The Italian fans booed loudly.

On the Internet, fans who like to watch the fun are also very dissatisfied:

[Stay up all night just to watch this? You're afraid of nothing! It's not like they're only leading by one goal. ]

[Is this the coach's tactic or Xia Qi's idea? This is too cowardly. ]

[England, you've made me a stranger. I'm going to draw a circle and curse you for not being able to keep it. There's still nearly half an hour left!]

[If you don't agree, just fight! You are Mr. Golden Globe, what are you afraid of? 】

...

...

Cassano couldn't find a chance to break through or shoot on the right side, so he passed the ball to Pirlo, hoping that Pirlo's deployment could help the team find a breakthrough.

Pirlo touched the ball and passed it to Balotelli, who reached out to get the ball back after being blocked from advancing in the middle.

The ball was passed diagonally to Insigne, who could not find a good spot to pass the ball into the penalty area after going down the crease.

The ball made an inverted triangle and was passed to Pirlo.

But when Pirlo stretched out his foot to catch the ball, his other foot blocked it in front of him.

With a bang,

The ball bounced to the left, but unfortunately England had no players in that direction.

"Xia Qi again!"

"This is a very aggressive move!"

"Xia Qi's vision and reading ability allow him to have a very large defensive range..."

Insigne sank to the bottom again and made a cross from the bottom line.

The ball flew into the penalty area, and Henderson overpowered Balotelli and headed the ball out first.

Pirlo wanted to fight for the second point, but was forced away by Xia Qi with a shoulder kick.

Xia Qi dribbled the ball first, then dodged Pirlo's counterattack.

Then tilt the football 45 degrees.

Rooney and Chiellini, who was defending him, were exchanging trash talk.

Chiellini was sharp-eyed and was the first to see Xia Qi's counterattack. He took a step ahead and got in front of Rooney to intercept the ball.

"What a pity, a one-on-one chance was ruined like this."

Rooney, who missed the opportunity, clasped his hands together and apologized to Xia Qi.

The game continues,

The Italian team was two goals behind, and although the personnel on the field did not change, there were slight changes in the positions of the players.

Pirlo, who was a "front midfielder", moved his position forward.

Moved to the attacking midfielder position, which was his position in his early years.

Anyone who sees this knows what Pirlo is up to.

But whether it's Xia Qi, Huang Jianxiang or England coach Hodgson...

They were not sure whether this was Pirlo's own decision or an adjustment made by Italy coach Prandelli.

In short, Italy is getting anxious and starting to seek change!

Hodgson was a little nervous. He walked to the sidelines and paid close attention to everything going on in the field.

He kept comforting himself: Pirlo as a defensive midfielder is the king, and he is just a bronze as an attacking midfielder, otherwise Ancelotti would not have moved him back.

Prandelli on the other side also saw Pirlo moving forward, but he did not say anything to stop him and let Pirlo play as an attacking midfielder.

At this time, as a coach, you can only choose to trust the players fighting on the front line, who know the situation on the field better.

Pirlo certainly has his reasons for doing this.

...

...

Pirlo played as a front midfielder in order to get closer to the English penalty area.

At this time, the England bus was defending, and he, who was good at rhythm, couldn't play a good song.

So seek change!

But this change also has disadvantages.

The pressure he faces will increase, and the space and time he needs will no longer exist.

He wanted to be as agile as before, but that was impossible.

This seems to be a dead end. Playing as a defensive midfielder, there is no threat. Playing as a forward midfielder, there is no threat either.

When Pirlo first changed his position, the English defense was very cautious with him.

As soon as he got the ball, Henderson and Jagielka would immediately attack him.

How could Pirlo, a "literary man" with such a small body, withstand the abuse from these two guys?

It will fall down if you touch it!

Italian fans booed Jagielka and Henderson with great distress, and directed the foulest words from all countries at the two of them.

Pirlo got up from the ground without complaining to the referee.

Time passed by second by second... Pirlo fell one by one.

In the 8th minute, Pirlo received the ball in front of the England penalty area. Henderson stuck closely behind Pirlo and prevented him from turning around.

Henderson believed that as long as Pirlo was prevented from turning around, there would be no threat to his goal.

Unexpectedly, Pirlo leaned back, pressed against Henderson, and then leaned to the right, pretending to turn in that direction.

Trick Henderson into shifting his weight.

When Henderson changed his center of gravity, Pirlo suddenly knocked the ball to the left and back.

This is the opposite direction of Henderson's center of gravity adjustment.

The football was knocked to the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Balotelli rushed forward and received the ball.

“Great opportunity!”

"Nice heel pass!"

Amid Huang Jianxiang's shouts, Balotelli didn't stop the ball and shot directly!

"Open...the door!"

The football that Balotelli just shot hit a "mountain".

It hit Xia Qi!

"Ah... Xia Qi! Xia Qi quickly returned to defense."

The attack and defense are not over yet!

Xia Qi blocked Balotelli's shot with his body, and the football bounced high.

Xia Qi rushed to the ball immediately, cleared the ball with one kick and assisted.

The ball flew to Rooney's front point.

This time, Rooney was focused and he rushed forward at the right time the moment Xia Qi passed the ball.

"Not offside!"

"Rooney is breaking through!"

“It was a great one-on-one chance.”

Buffon did not choose to leave the door.

At this time, Rooney was still far away from the goal, and he was afraid that Rooney would lob the ball.

After passing the ball, Xia Qi did not clock out, but rushed forward with all his strength.

Soon they caught up with the Italian midfielders and defenders who were returning to defense...

At this time, Rooney had already rushed into the penalty area, facing the legendary goalkeeper Buffon who was guarding the goal line.

Rooney dribbled the ball and pretended to shoot.

There was a pause.

Then he kicked the football hard.

However, Buffon was not misled and faced Rooney's powerful shot.

Buffon didn't dare hold the ball with both hands for fear of losing it.

He swooped sideways like a roc spreading its wings, stretching his body to the extreme in the air.

He punched the football out with both fists.

Chiellini, who was chasing back, saw a white shadow in his peripheral vision and immediately rushed towards it.

In the end, I was shocked by him.

As he staggered, Xia Qi was about to rush towards the football.

We must not let Xia Qi take a follow-up shot!

It's worth the red card for this!

Before he fell to the ground, he luckily grabbed the hem of Xia Qi's jersey.

Chiellini fell to the ground, but he was unable to stop Xia Qi from rushing forward.

His body drew a straight line of five or six meters on the lawn.

Xia Qi dragged him like this, rushed to where the football landed, and shot it with a windmill shot.

The football whizzed away like a cannonball.

At this time, Buffon hurriedly got up from the ground and made two consecutive saves.

But it's short!

The football passed through his fingertips and went into the net.

When the referee blew the whistle, he pointed to the center circle with both hands and determined that the goal was valid.

Then he waved to Chiellini, called the veteran over, criticized him and showed him a red card.

There was a sudden booing in the Amazon Stadium.

2:5! After falling behind by three goals in the 85th minute, the Italian team had already been declared dead. Now they were going to "award" a ruby ​​card to the defense general?

Doesn’t that mean the future of the Italian team is worrying?

The anger of Italian fans was instantly ignited!

Instead, England fans started singing and dancing…

"Xia Qi's follow-up shot!"

"The ball is in!"

"Xia Qi scored a hat trick! Who says midfielders can't win the Golden Boot? I scored more goals as a midfielder than you forwards..."

Huang Jianxiang's voice was full of passion and devotion. At this moment, he had completely regarded himself as Xia Qi!

His partner He Wei was relatively calm, but also very excited, his voice was in a high octave:

"Oh my god! Xia Qi scored three goals and had two assists. He is the king on the court! He dominated the game."

"This shot is a perfect combination of power and skill."

"It's amazing, he played from the backcourt to the frontcourt, what physical strength! Does Xia Qi also have three lungs?" He Wei continued to shout.

"His speed, awareness and shooting ability are simply impeccable! Xia Qi is the focus of this game!"

"Time and again, Xia Qi always steps up at critical moments. He is the soul of the team!"

"This hat trick is undoubtedly the highlight of his career! Xia Qi, let's cheer for him!"

Huang Jianxiang and He Wei's praises came one after another, full of admiration and appreciation for Xia Qi.

on the field,

Xia Qi ran all the way and blew kisses to the fans in the stands.

The screams, laughter, and roars of England fans filled the air above the stadium...

The Italian team's fans were filled with disappointment and frustration.

They stood blankly in the stands, their eyes revealing endless disappointment. Their faces seemed to be crushed by a heavy force, and their passionate smiles disappeared without a trace.

Some fans silently lowered their heads, their hands hanging weakly at their sides, as if they had lost all their strength. Their eyes wandered, as if they could not accept the reality before them.

Some fans bit their lips tightly, trying to hold back tears, their hearts filled with helplessness and pain. They had once been full of expectations for the team, but the result now made them feel extremely disappointed.

Some fans held their heads in their hands, falling into deep self-blame, regretting that they did not give the team more support.
