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

Chapter 46: Winning is my luck, losing is my fate

Norwich City Football Club is located in the east of England, nicknamed "The Canary". Its home stadium is Carrow Road Stadium. It is a team on the edge of the relegation zone in the Premier League that has to work hard to avoid relegation every year.

In the eyes of Arsenal people, he is a point-giving boy.

The squad announced by Wenger is also focused on training. Giroud, who has not scored yet, and Djurou (Note 1), who has been "abstract" from time to time, are both on the squad.

Even Penguin Live didn't bother to broadcast this kind of match without any suspense. Even though there were tens of thousands of "summer fans" protesting, they still chose to broadcast Tottenham VS Chelsea.

It was in such an optimistic atmosphere that Xia Qi went out with the team.

...

...

The strength gap between the two teams did not affect the happiness of Norwich fans, and the Carrow Road stadium was filled with laughter.

When Xia Qi was warming up, he was stopped by several female Norwich fans and asked for their autographs.

This is something that would never happen in London, Manchester City or Liverpool.

Perhaps here is the purest form of football, where football is not a rivalry between clubs.

"Xia, will you play?"

"Probably not."

Wenger had announced the starting lineup before the game. Xia Qi and Wilshere were both substitutes. Wenger brought them in just in case and to ensure three points.

The girls were a little disappointed when they heard that Xia Qi would not appear.

“Aren’t you rooting for Norwich?”

"Yes!"

Perhaps sensing Xia Qi's doubts, the girl added, "You don't think we will cheer for you, do you?"

Xia Qi smiled awkwardly, understanding what they meant. There is no contradiction between cheering for his favorite team and chasing stars...

"Of course we are rooting for Norwich but we want to see you play and we are sure you will become a big star."

"Thank you!"

"We are a small team. Maybe next year we will go to the Championship and we will never see a big star like you again..."

"No, there is such pure football here and the Premier League needs it."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be cold on the court, but warm off the court..."

...

...

Carrow Road is a small stadium, not to mention the stands are close to the stadium.

In order to increase the number of seats in the stands, go directly to the bases. The seats are extremely steep, and the surrounding stands look like they will collapse at any time.

Players feel a sense of oppression in the stadium. Because it is small and steep, the roars, applause, and cheers from all directions can pierce people's eardrums...

The Arsenal players were all shocked by such a home court, and even felt frightened.

If there is a game screen at this time, you can see that every time the Norwich fans shout, the blood volume of the Arsenal players will decrease by -1, -1,....

So after the start, the entire Arsenal starting players did not "wake up", they were like sleepwalking on the court.

Just over two minutes later, Norwich's midfielder A Tetai kicked the ball in front of the penalty area and easily penetrated the gate guarded by Szczesny.

1: 0!

Ignite enthusiasm throughout Carrow Road.

Norwich's fight song resounded throughout the stadium, and it was even sung by male and female voices. This is probably unique in the Premier League and even the world.

Wilshere leaned into Xia Qi's ear and said: "I like this kind of football atmosphere. When can the Emirates Stadium have this feeling?"

"The atmosphere at our home court is not bad, but it is not so pure and happy. The fans here: I am lucky to win, and I am destined to lose. It is not like us who attach too much importance to victory and are too utilitarian."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am lucky to win, and it is my destiny to lose. Xia, did you really never go to full-time middle school?"

"... "

The two did not panic when Arsenal conceded the goal.

This is also the mood of everyone at Arsenal.

In their minds, this was just an accident.

Five minutes later, having adapted to the atmosphere at Carrow Road, Arsenal began to counterattack.

Under Norwich's tight defense, Arsenal created some opportunities but Giroud and Podolski seemed to have forgotten their shooting boots.

The two sides were having a great time playing back and forth. After the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, it was still 1:0 after a closer look.

During the 15-minute break, Wenger broke down Norwich's tactics, split them into small links, and assigned dedicated personnel to take charge of each link.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Xia Qi and Wilshere.

Maybe in Wenger's mind, after adjustments, the starting players can win the game.

The game continues,

Arsenal still attacked in waves, and Norwich resisted tenaciously amidst the cheers of the fans on site.

Unconsciously, the time reached the 65th minute. Wenger frowned and paced around the court for a full minute before he made up his mind and looked at the bench.

Xia Qi stood up with a whoosh.

But Wenger's eyes flicked past him to look at Wilshere.

"Will, go warm up!"

Wilshere patted Xia Qi on the shoulder: "Five minutes, no, in three minutes, you will be here to clean my sneakers."

It's terrible to be uneducated, isn't it just to kill Hua Xiong with warm wine? Luoliba instigated it.

Xia Qi pushed him angrily and retorted: "Don't beg me to wipe your ass. I don't want to be a father."

Wilshere gave Xia Qi a middle finger, smiled and came on, replacing Aaron Ramsey

Three minutes passed,

Five minutes passed,

Ten minutes passed,

It's not that Wilshere didn't perform well, but his teammates' finishing touches were amateurish!

Seeing that the time had reached 76 minutes, it was still 1:0 on the field.

Wilshere was anxious, and he was always in trouble whether he had a chance or not.

Not only did Arsenal fail to score, their own rhythm was completely disrupted.

In the 80th minute, Norwich counterattacked and almost expanded the score.

Only then did Wenger think of Xia Qi.

"Xia, go warm up!"

Xia Qi immediately took off his coat and put on his yellow vest...

Norwich fans "welcomed" him loudly with "Xinghu...".

When Xia Qi stood next to the linesman waiting to come on, the boos in the audience reached a boiling point.

This familiar feeling made Xia Qi deeply moved.

In May of this year, he came on as a substitute wearing a Manchester City jersey, and was booed by the fans in the same way. I vaguely remember that my legs were shaking a little at that time...

Now, never again!

This is growth.

"Ding Dong"

"Please host select 'training' or 'competition' mode."

"Contest"

"Please host choose the court position: A forward, B..."

"TO"

"Detecting the current predicament of the host's team, matching the attributes of the host [Fox in the Forbidden Zone]."

"The more defensive players there are in the penalty area, the more relaxed the host becomes. The fox-like cunning appears in the fatal place."

"Please host choose 'autonomous mode' or 'one-click hang-up mode'"

"Warm reminder: During the hang-up period, the host will automatically complete various indicator actions by the system."

"Hang up with one click!"

"Easily hang up, automatically complete with one click, free your feet, and bring a relaxed and happy stadium experience to the host! The game experience has officially begun."

Then Xia Qi's whole temperament became more CEO-like,

The girls’ exclamations came to my ears: He’s so handsome!

Note 1: Djurou is a center back, black, born in Cote d'Ivoire, Giroud is a center, white, French.

So it is not the author, there are typos, sometimes Jilu, sometimes Zhulu.

Djurou came from Arsenal's youth training and carries the expectations of gun fans, but he is a defender and is born to take the blame.

So like Maguire, there are many jokes.

To be honest, the strength is not bad. He is the captain of Hamburg team and the transfer is permanent. If the strength is poor, Hamburg will not want him.

Central defender! Who dares to ask for this position of "general"?

That's a joke, just like Maguire's aircraft carrier U-turn. Isn't Maguire's reputation recovering now?
