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

Greece coach Santos was full of ambition and confidence, feeling that he had found the secret to defeating the England team.

He made up his mind to defend the left side in the game and concentrate his strength on attacking the right side, which was undoubtedly a gamble.

What he bet on was that Xia Qi only had a deep understanding with Walcott, but lacked tacit understanding with other players.

As the game started again, Santos ordered his players to strictly implement the tactics of defending the left and attacking the right, preparing for a fierce offensive and defensive battle with England.

However, Xia Qi did not do as he wished.

As the core of England, Xia Qi led his teammates to launch active high-pressure defense in the midfield and frontcourt.

As soon as the Greek captain Karagounis received the ball, Xia Qi suddenly rushed out from behind another Greek midfielder Maniatis.

This was a very covert and sharp counter-attack.

Karagounis heard Maniatis yelling, "Pass it back!" Although he didn't understand what he meant, he instinctively dribbled the ball and turned around, but the sudden huge force from behind made him fall forward involuntarily.

At this moment, Xia Qi quickly retreated and raised his hands high to indicate that he had not committed a foul.

Even so, the whistle still sounded and the referee awarded Greece a free kick in the back field, but did not show a yellow card to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi immediately retreated to his position, while Karagunis, who was sitting on the ground, felt helpless and angry, with complicated emotions in his heart towards Xia Qi's back.

Karagounis knew very well that as long as Xia Qi was there, their attack would be difficult to advance.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Xia Qi, wearing the No. 9 jersey, performs better on defense than the core No. 4 of any top team.

Even so, calling it "Summer Beckenbauer Chess" is not an exaggeration.

Xia Qi's predatory scramble not only won the applause of English fans, but also made him a "thorn in the eyes" of Greek fans. Every time he touched the ball, he would be booed by Greek fans.

The "right-wing explosion" strategy of Greek coach Santos failed to work, and the game has entered a "the brave wins when two meet in a narrow road" mode of bayonet fighting.

Under Xia Qi's pressure, Karagunis seemed extremely irritated.

This irritability stems from the fact that he was crushed by Xia Qi in all aspects, both physically and technically.

He rarely played against top players in his career. Before the game, he thought Xia Qi was not much different from James Rodriguez who was highly praised by the media.

In the group stage, he didn't dare to say it was easy when defending or breaking through James Rodriguez, but he felt that he was still okay, and at the very least he could fight for a few moves. However, after playing against Xia Qi, he realized that there is a difference between the Golden Ball winner and the billionaire. The Golden Ball winner must be the billionaire, but not all billionaires can be called the Golden Ball winner.

Xia Qi is the toughest opponent he has ever played against in his life, bar none. Compared with him, James Rodriguez is simply a little brother!

After the ball was passed several times among Greek players, it naturally fell into the hands of Karagounis.

However, almost at the same second, Xia Qi also ran to the passing point.

When Karagounis stretched out his foot to stop the ball, Xia Qi bumped into him.

He stumbled and his outstretched right foot failed to touch the football, and the ball slipped past.

But Xia Qi seized the opportunity, slipped past him, and controlled the ball with his back to him.

In an instant, Karagounis had an evil thought and wanted to return a free kick to Xia Qi in the backcourt, so he gathered all his strength and rushed forward.

He heard the sound of muscles colliding. He knew he had tried his best, but Xia Qi, who did not move at all, was clearly telling him: Hey! Brother, you didn't use enough strength.

So, Karagounis became a little angry and embarrassed. He put his arm around Xia Qi's waist and prevented him from leaving.

Those who don’t care about face are invincible!

However, Xia Qi kicked the ball to Gerrard without waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, then patted the back of his hand, signaling him to let go.

Looking at Xia Qi's calmly departing back, Karagounis remembered what his youth training teacher once said: "Tactical fouls are not a panacea. Some players cannot commit such fouls, such as Ronaldinho..."

Karagounis didn't know what it was like to defend the alien Ronaldinho, but he knew that if he could successfully defend Xia Qi once, he would definitely celebrate with tears in his eyes and punch his fist, just like the female tennis player who could beat the big devil by one point!

"The Greek offensive has once again been disrupted."

"It's England's ball now."

Huang Jianxiang sighed: "Greece can't play like this. They can't get past the midfield. In fact, they can consider long passes from the back."

"Wow, that was a really hard kick!"

On the field, Rooney, who retreated to the midfield to get the ball, was knocked to the ground by his opponent after receiving a pass from Gerrard.

Rooney, who fell to the ground, looked very painful. He rolled several times and covered his calf with his hands.

Instantly, huge boos rang out from the stands around, and some fans even shouted angrily: "Asshole! Taekwondo is next door!"

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

"I made a reasonable collision, but he held my calf..." Holebas, who was defending Rooney, looked aggrieved in front of the referee.

Rooney was lying on the ground with the football not far away from him.

Xia Qi stepped forward, glanced coldly at Holebas who was pretending to be aggrieved, bent down to pick up the football, and then put it down again.

Beside him, players from both teams were still arguing around the referee about whether Holebas committed a foul or Rooney was faking a fall.

However, Xia Qi took a step back, then stepped forward and kicked the football.

Boom!

A loud bang!

The football was kicked forward by Xia Qi.

Walcott, who was waiting for the referee's decision in the frontcourt, saw the football flying towards him and immediately smiled!

This Xia Qi has turned bad! He never used to be so "opportunistic". I don't know when he turned bad!

He immediately turned around and ran forward!

"Ouch! Good shot!"

"Free kick quick!"

The referee heard the sound of the ball being kicked and saw it flying toward the front court.

But he did not whistle to stop the game. Instead, he ran out of the crowd and ran forward.

This action clearly implies that Xia Qi's serve is valid.

The Pernambuco Stadium suddenly became lively, and many English fans shouted to Walcott: "Theo, go!"

Greece coach Santos immediately rushed to the fourth official to protest that the "quick serve was invalid."

There is a clear stipulation in the rules of football: a free kick in any way and from any position can be taken directly and quickly without a whistle.

We often see the ball being kicked off after the referee blows the whistle. That is when the referee clearly states that the ball should be kicked off after the referee blows the whistle. Otherwise, the ball can be kicked off without waiting for the whistle.

In fact, none of these are important. What is important is whether the referee recognizes your quick serve.

If you recognize it, it is valid; if you don’t recognize it, it is invalid!

To put it simply, it is a gamble on one's character.

This time, Xia Qi has good character!

Do not,

Yes, AI has character!

When Xia Qi kicked the ball out, no one except Walcott paid attention to the ball.

When I heard screams and cheers coming from the stands,

Walcott was already chasing the football like an arrow, with a large group of Greek players chasing after him.

After Xia Qi kicked the ball, he did not run forward!

Because there was no point. Regardless of whether Walcott could score the goal, it would definitely be "protest" time and the game would not be able to continue.

There is no way Greece would not protest, it would accept it!

Under Xia Qi's sight, Walcott dribbled the ball into the Greek penalty area, and once again faced the Greek goalkeeper who had left the goal, and kicked the ball low into the ground!

The football quickly rushed forward along the grass!

Karnezis rushed to the side but still missed by a little bit.

The football passed through his fingertips and hit the empty goal behind him again.

"The ball is in!"

"2:0!"

The Greek players stopped chasing and quickly surrounded the referee...

And Xia Qi in the distance showed an "interested" smile...

Eh!

AI has gone bad!

No longer pure!
