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

Chapter 44: Killing in the name of God

the game continues,

Swallow two eggs in a row!

Olympiacos understands the gap between reality and ideals.

Playing more carefully, the football is often passed before Arsenal players can get in front of them.

Arsenal players can never run faster than football.

The idea of ​​​​playing this way is correct, but the requirements for players' movement are very high. Rapid passing is like a precise instrument. A small mistake will cause a collapse.

The only sneaky teams in the world are Barcelona and Spain.

It's okay for other teams to improvise, but if it becomes the main theme... there will be some problems.

In the 12th minute, under high pressure, Paul Machado sent the football to Arteta's feet in order to avoid Wilshere's attack.

Olympiakos TiKi-TaKa made a mistake after passing six kicks.

Immediately after Arteta presented the gift package, he was immediately surrounded by Paulo Machado and Abdon.

Arteta passed the ball to Chamberlain in the gap.

The latter ran all the way towards Olympiacos' half.

Olympiacos also showed the level of the Greek Greek Super League champions, and the team retreated in an orderly manner like a tide.

Just looking at the execution of this tactic, you will know why they were able to defeat Schalke 04.

If he hadn't been arrogant tonight and pressed out for a fast break, but was restrained by Xia Qi, it might have turned into a tough battle.

Olympiakos head coach Jardim looked at Wenger with some fear, secretly regretting that he was playing tactics in front of a master tactician. Isn't this Luban dropping a big ax in front of the goal?
  After Chamberlain dribbled the ball for more than ten meters, someone finally stepped forward to intercept him.

Not only were there people blocking him from the front, but there were also people from the right and behind who were surrounding him.

Greek football is greatly influenced by Germany, with more than half of the Greek coaches in the Greek Super League being German.

The high-position pressing (mad dog style) that has been popular in the Bundesliga in the past two years is also very popular in the Greek Super League.

It is to use more active running to form a numerical advantage in local areas to encircle and rob.

In fact, this tactic is not new, the Italians have been using it for a long time.

The novelty is that Klopp and Rangnick have implanted the defender's defensive concept into the front trident, thus giving rise to the new football term "defense forward".

Thus revolutionizing modern football.

At this time, it was Olympiacos' midfielder who was defending Chamberlain, not their defender.

Chamberlain passed the football to Wilshere before the circle closed.

Before the football reached his feet, Greco rushed over. Wilshere took advantage of the situation and picked the ball. The football flew over Greco's head and flew towards the penalty area.

It’s Xia Qi again!

Xia Qi appeared like a ghost again. With his back to the goal, he spread his arms to hold the two defenders Maniatis and Torosidis tightly.

The ball was returned to Podolski who followed up.

Podolski passed by Xia Qi, took away the football at the same time, and stabbed the ball in the near corner of the goal!
  The football quickly rolled past the toes of the defender who put his foot to intercept, and penetrated into the net close to the inside of the goal post.

The goalkeeper, affected by his sight, was a few beats too late and gave up the save as soon as he stepped on the goal line.

Arsenal make another move.

Arsenal fans are overwhelmed with happiness. Is this the so-called dark horse?

The Olympiacos players were also a little confused. They stared at their own goal blankly, and all they thought in their minds was: Is this the foundation of a wealthy club?
  Podolski ran all the way from one end of the court to the other.

"Crazy, crazy, how long has it been since the start? 12 minutes! Three goals scored in only 12 minutes!"

"Are we going to go on a killing spree tonight in the name of God?"

"I guess it will be difficult. The Olympiacos coach should strengthen his defense next."

“Olympiacos wanted to play a kick-off tonight, but they ended up going bald.

Arsenal's counterattack was too quick, with two or three shots forming a shot, and it hit the target with one hit, blinding Olympiacos in an instant. "

Zhang Lu did have foresight, and when Olympiacos kicked off for the fourth time, he did shrink back. But Zhang Lu only foresaw the beginning, not the ending.

Olympiacos contracted its defense and lacked the desire to attack. Not long after the whistle started, they lost the ball.

After several passes, the football arrived at Wilshere's feet.

Maniatis, who was assigned to keep an eye on Xia Qi, was shocked and quickly stuck Xia Qi behind him, trying to cut off the Wei-Xia connection.

However, when he leaned back, he leaned against a ball of air!
  Xia Qi, who had been stuck behind him, disappeared. It was like a parent raising a baby, turning his head to look at a beautiful and handsome boy. When he looked back, the baby who had been in sight all along was gone!
  Maniadis broke into a cold sweat and immediately looked around.

He saw Xia Qi appear behind his teammate Torosidis at some point, which was at the far post of the goal.

Maniatis immediately raised his hands and shouted: "Offside!" "Offside!"

In the offside call, Xia Qi jumped high at the far post and scored with a headbutt.

"Xia Qi...Qi...Qi...Qi!!!"

"When did he show up there?"

"This goal is too easy!"

courtside,
  The linesman hesitated for a moment before raising the flag.

beep!
  The referee on duty immediately invalidated the goal.

Xia Qi walked toward the center circle with an expression like "I'm a passerby." His teammates surrounded the referee angrily.

Wenger also rushed out of the coaching bench and shouted at the fourth referee: "Are you so unprofessional? The more it is offside, the more important it is to look at the moment of the pass, not the final position of the player."

"Calm down! Calm down! Sir."

After the replay of Wilshere's pass and Xia Qi's movement was broadcast in the Penguin live broadcast room, everyone discovered that this ball was really a good ball.

Now that VAR technology cannot be used as a basis for penalty decisions, the referee has the final say.

Although the goal was disallowed, Maniatis's back was wet with cold sweat from fear.

He heard the head coach yelling: "Shet, please concentrate, please? Don't let him out of your sight again."

Maniatis originally thought the task was easy, and he also thought he lost the baby because he wasn't paying attention.

But when the game started, Xia Qi moved erratically without the ball, and Maniatis realized that he was wrong.

No wonder my wife complains about the hard work of raising a baby every day. It is really difficult to raise a baby and I can’t stand it.

In the 35th minute, Chamberlain showed great power on the left side, tearing apart Olympiacos' right-wing defense line. Xia Qi suddenly jumped out like a rabbit and moved closer to Chamberlain.

Maniatis immediately followed closely and prevented Chamberlain and Xia Qi from cooperating.

Maniatis gave his defense a score of 9, one point shy of a full score, because he was afraid of being proud.

Chamberlain cut inside the penalty area, glanced at Xia Qi, and then took a shot.

Roy Carroll made the ultimate save, and the football passed around his fingertips and hit the post.

Maniadis then remembered Xia Qi, but Xia Qi disappeared again...

Xia Qi burst out of the crowd, pushed the ball towards the ball, and the ball flew into the net from Roy Carroll's head.

4: 0!

Xia Qi wore a hat at halftime.

The head coach of Olympiacos became anxious and shouted at Maniatis: "You idiot, how did you target this person?"

"Torosidis, you go defend that boy."

Instead of being angry with the coach, Maniatis thanked him for rescuing him.

Dead Taoist friends, immortal poor Taoists, it’s the same all over the world!
  "Four goals behind at halftime, Olympiacos must find a way to keep Xia Qi in check, otherwise a massacre is inevitable."

"Xia Qi's style tonight is different from before. It's like a dark style tonight, like a ghost assassin."

"The killer hiding in the night is hard to detect. Olympiacos' defense is facing a big test..."
