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

Different from our own players who are outspoken!

Klopp has been worrying about this red and blue battle and couldn't sleep at night.

He rubbed his eyebrows, which were so tightly furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death, and let out a deep sigh... Even through the screen, one could seem to feel the sadness in his eyes, like Lin Daiyu reading.

Assistant coach Didier Nyo craned his neck and stole a glance at the manuscript in front of Klopp.

I saw that he circled the noun "XQi" several times, and listed different names above, below, left and right of Xia Qi's name.

Above Xia Qi's name is Gerrard, whose name was crossed out by Klopp.

On the left is Henderson, also marked with a cross.

The name below is Welsh international Joe Allen, who is still crossed out.

On the right is Frenchman N'Golo Kante, who was just purchased this year. The 22-year-old has already proved his worth in 11 Premier League games and has been selected into the Premier League's best team twice.

However, Xia Qi's notoriety as the "Great Devil" had already spread far and wide...

Didier Nho made a cup of coffee, gently placed it in front of Klopp, and said carefully: "N'Golo is the most suitable."

Klopp looked up at his assistant and whispered: "Xaqi is too cruel. I am worried that he will completely shatter N'Golo's self-confidence. Look at Fletcher (Manchester United). He was in poor form after the derby..."

"Although N'Golo is a first-year player in the Premier League, he is mentally very strong..."

Klopp nodded, agreeing with his assistant's point of view, and then added: "Can Steven (Gerard) be his psychological counselor? Will this hurt his self-esteem?"

"Sure! Steven has the qualifications to be a coach and he's also our captain. Communicating with teammates is one of his jobs. I think it's feasible."

"Boss, do you really think N'Golo can defend against Xia Qi?"

"Hey, old buddy! How to defend Xia Qi is the most difficult problem in the world right now, perhaps even more difficult than building a human base on Mars!

I don't need to come up with the right answer, we just need to keep Xia Qi in the same state as in Moscow.

As long as we can limit Xia Qi's number of goals to less than two, we will be successful.

Salah plus Balotelli plus Mane is definitely more efficient than the S L X combination.

The S L X combination means, "Kobe and I scored 90 points together, Kobe scored 90 points, I scored zero points." As long as we can limit Xia Qi's goals to less than two, we can win the game, because we are not CSKA Moscow, we are Liverpool..."

The more Didi Nio listened, the more he thought it made sense. His head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and it was almost broken...

……

……

In the lobby of the hotel where Manchester City was staying, Balotelli didn't even wear sunglasses. He just sat there carefree, waiting for Xia Qi to arrive.

When Manchester City's bus drove into the hotel, Balotelli even came to the gate with the receptionist, waiting for Xia Qi.

The paparazzi outside the hotel didn't find it strange at all.

After all, Balotelli is a man who once wore an AC Milan jersey at the door of Inter Milan's dressing room...

"Balotelli's late night defection..." Just think about it, tomorrow morning's newspaper will be sold out...

So they quickly pressed the shutter buttons of their cameras.

This matter is not big or small.

Although Liverpool fans and players do not believe in claims of defection, they still feel "stabbed in the back".

Can't friends meet up after the game?

So, Gerrard decided to have a good talk with Balotelli, which was his duty as the captain of the Reds.

The day before the match, Gerrard arrived at Melwood training base half an hour early, but Balotelli, who was always lazy, arrived even earlier than him.

Seeing Gerrard "late", Balotelli couldn't wait to grab Gerrard's arm and shouted excitedly: "Captain, I got the information. We are very likely to be the first team to defeat the big devil."

"What information?"

"Yaya Toure will definitely not play, Kompany is injured. Whether he can participate in the game depends on the diagnosis given by the team doctor today. Both of them were injured in Moscow..."

"You didn't go to catch up with the past last night, but to gather intelligence! What's wrong with your brain? How come you are so smart?"

"Maybe it's because I have smart people as teammates!"

Xia Qi, who was on his way to Everton's training base, Bellefield, suddenly felt his head sinking, and in an instant he became "world-class below the shoulders".

At the Melwood training base, Gerrard excitedly picked up Balotelli and spun him around, then put his arm around his neck and said, "Let's go find the boss, you talk to the boss..."

After receiving the information, Klopp said to his assistant: "Didi, ask the paparazzi to go to Bellefield to find out if Yaya Toure has participated in the training. If he has, whether the training volume of him and Kompany is normal..."

"Got it, boss!"

"Boss, if it's true, do we have a chance?"

Klopp laughed heartily and said: "We had a chance, but if it was real, the chance would be greater. If we can pull Manchester City off the horse and prevent them from taking the lead, it will be more beneficial to the Premier League, isn't it?"

"Then Mario has done a great job this time."

"Of course. If anyone ever says he is world-class again, I will spit in his face..."

At the Bayer 5 base, Guardiola's hair has turned a lot grayer as he worries about tomorrow's starting lineup.

The extremely low temperature in Moscow caused the players to have a serious lack of body heat. After that game, many players were diagnosed by the team doctor as "unfit to play"...

Fortunately, Manchester City has a solid lineup, so they can still come up with a starting lineup...

Since he was going to change the formation, Guardiola was not willing to do it in a rigid way. Guardiola smiled when he thought of the unexpected changes after the formation change...

……

……

Anfield is the most prestigious stadium in the Premier League. Old Trafford, Emirates, Stamford Bridge and others are nothing more than its younger brothers.

Liverpool's fan base is also the most stable in the Premier League, with some families even passing their loyalty to the team down from generation to generation.

Manchester City's bus drove out of the hotel. Along the way, countless people wearing red Liverpool jerseys rushed towards Anfield Stadium...

The bus stopped at the entrance of the stadium. Xia Qi got off the bus and heard:

"Xia, you score a goal and we win, it's a win-win situation."

A female Liverpool fan shouted at him.

Xia Qi ignored her at first, and the female fan continued to shout: "Xia, if you score a goal, we will win!"

Seeing that Xia Qi still didn't respond, she shouted again: "If you agree, I can stay with you for one night."

After saying that, he deliberately squeezed the two "weapons" on his chest...

"Xuxu..."

Other fans were immediately unhappy...

At this point, Xia Qi couldn't help but answer. If Savannah Brad saw this news, she would definitely...

"No! Only elementary school students make choices. I want both scoring and winning..."

"Xuxu..."

Before the girl responded, many Liverpool fans booed in dissatisfaction.

Liverpool and Manchester City are not arch-rivals, and Xia Qi is an England international of Chinese descent who won the World Cup for them, so Liverpool fans have extremely complicated feelings towards Xia Qi.

There is a different state of mind that "I am afraid that my brothers are having a hard life, but I am also afraid that my brothers are driving a Land Rover."

I hope Xia Qi can have a great performance, but I am also worried that this great performance will lead to Liverpool's loss.

Four or five seconds ago:

"Ding Dong"

"Host, please select 'training' or 'competition' mode."

"Contest"

"Host, please choose your position on the court: A forward, B..."

"B"

"Detecting the current predicament of the host's team, matching the host's [Tai Chi Temperament] attribute."

"When Tai Chi moves, Yang is born. When it moves to its extreme, it becomes still. When it is still, Yin is born. When it is still to its extreme, it moves again."

"Host, please select 'Autonomous Mode' or 'One-key Hang-up Mode'"

……

"Dear audience members, let me now introduce you to the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Manchester City wore their traditional blue jerseys and manager Guardiola deployed a 4231--- attacking formation.

Damn it!

Xia Qi actually played as a defensive midfielder in this game?

Cough!

Their starting goalkeeper is Joe Hart.

On the defensive line: right back Zabaleta,

The left back is Kolarov.

The central defenders are Demichelis and Boyata, and Manchester City captain Kompany is on the bench tonight. Boyata is also a Belgian player of Congolese nationality.

The defensive midfielders are Xia Qi and Fernandinho.

Three forwards, Sterling on the right, De Bruyne in the middle, and Nasri on the left.

The striker is Lukaku.

“Liverpool wore a red home kit and their starting lineup was a 433 formation.

Starting goalkeeper: Mignolet

Right back: Klein

Centre-backs: Kolo Toure and Lovren

Left back: Luis Enrique

The three midfielders are: Kante, Henderson, Coutinho

Three forwards: Salah, Balotelli, Mane. "

Klopp, who was in the coaching booth, saw that Xia Qi was actually playing as a defensive midfielder in this game, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fuck!"

Originally, after Balotelli learned about the situation, Klopp made careful targeted deployment and took the initiative. However, Guardiola unexpectedly arranged Xia Qi in the defensive midfielder position, instantly regaining the initiative.

Demichelis, as Manchester City's captain, guessed the right to kick off.

When Zhan Jun was introducing the lineup, Xia Qi received a return pass from De Bruyne.

After Xia Qi got the ball, he quickly observed the situation on the field, turned around and passed the ball back to Demichelis.

The football was passed back and forth between the defenders several times and finally returned to Xia Qi's feet.

At this time, the three formations of Liverpool, which were originally compressed very tightly, have all been dispersed, and the whole team began to press high.

This is exactly what Klopp wants: to put high pressure on Manchester City and not let them get into their familiar game rhythm.

When Xia Qi saw Coutinho rushing towards him, he passed the ball to Sterling and ran forward closely behind him.

Sterling and De Bruyne completed a wonderful two-pass combination on the wing, successfully passed Henderson's defense and continued to break through on the wing.

Just when everyone thought he would go down the bottom and cross the ball, he suddenly changed his strategy. Instead of going down the bottom, he passed the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Xia Qi did not hesitate and swung his right foot to shoot!

The football was hit hard by the instep of his right foot.

With a "bang", it flew towards the goal!

The football whizzed past the ears of Lovren, who is known as the world's best central defender, like a cannonball. The Croatian was stunned on the spot.

Although I knew that Xia Qi was cruel, I never thought he could be so cruel as to take lives!

For some reason, goalkeeper Mignolet lost his focus on the field.

When he realized that Xia Qi had shot, it was too late for him to make a save and he just raised his hand reflexively.

However, by some strange coincidence, this action, which was more like a "greeting", was not included in the AI's calculations.

The football, which was originally about to fly to the upper right corner of the goal, suddenly fell down. This was a "falling leaf ball" designed by AI to avoid Mignolet's aerial save.

What a coincidence!

Mignolet only felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand as the football hit his palm.

From everyone's perspective, it was Mignolet who lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

This was an extremely brilliant save, as Mignolet predicted in advance that this was a "falling leaf ball".

The trap that Xia Qi set for Mignolet was discovered by Mignolet!

There was thunderous applause in Anfield Stadium!!!

Klopp even performed his signature move with great passion: the farmer's three punches!!!

"Mignolet tipped the ball over the bar. It was a world-class save."

"Xia Qi had a trick up his sleeve when he was shooting from long range. He made a falling leaf shot, and Fren slipped the ball past him. Just as Xia Qi was about to score, Mignolet saw through Xia Qi's trick at the critical moment and tipped the ball over the crossbar."

Lovren's title of the world's best central defender is self-proclaimed. In fact, he is like a funnel in Liverpool's defense line. "Luo" and "Luo" are similar in pronunciation, so he is called "Lou Fulun" by Chinese fans...

To be fair, Lovren is not that bad. He is similar to Manchester United's "poor Maguire" a year later. He is often criticized, but he is not that bad.

On the court, Xia Qi saw that the little trap he had carefully planned was discovered by Mignolet, and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Mignolet felt his face burning... He was too embarrassed to respond to Xia Qi, so he turned around and shouted to his teammates, "Corner kick, pay attention to Xia Qi and that big idiot."

Lukaku, who was about to walk to the front of the goal to score, stopped and rolled his eyes at Mignolet.

The stupid one is your teammate Balotelli!

After Lukaku made his point, he whispered to Balotelli, who was competing for position with him, "Why don't you defend Xia Qi?"

"I can't beat him, why should I defend against him?"

Damn it!

Why do you think you can definitely beat me?

Lukaku opened his arms and pushed Balotelli behind him, while Balotelli pushed forward with all his might...

The two were entangled at the front point and it was difficult to tell the winner.

Xia Qi was closely guarded by three Liverpool players...

De Bruyne takes a corner kick...
