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

Chapter 48 No matter how good your football skills are, you still have to stop when you encounter a Premier League referee.
  Tie!

A hard-fought pursuit!
  None of the Arsenal generals could be as calm as Xia Qi. Although they knew how precious time was, they still ran over to rub Xia Qi's hair and pat his butt.

What a lucky guy, scoring in five consecutive Premier League games.

Especially Wilshere, who excitedly jumped on Xia Qi's back and shouted in Xia Qi's ear: "I'm so damn worried that you can't see that opening!"

"Tell me, we were brothers or husband and wife in our previous life. Why are we so in tune with each other?"

Xia Qi in his head quickly replied: Brothers, they must be brothers! If we were husband and wife, I would rather be Lin Pingzhi in this life...

Arsenal was not satisfied with the draw. On the contrary, although Norwich was a little disappointed, they were still satisfied with getting a point from Arsenal.

When the referee on duty called two minutes of stoppage time, the whole audience cheered.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the longer it takes, the worse it will be for Norwich.

beep!
  Norwich kick-off,
  Arsenal's morale was high and they intercepted,

Arsenal's midfielder was superior. Norwich only resisted five passes, and the ball was intercepted by center back Djuru.

After three passes and two passes, it was at the feet of Wilshere.

Pilkington immediately turned around to stare at Xia Qi.

but,

"The boy is gone again!"

When the Norwich defender heard Pilkington's exclamation, everyone panicked and looked for Xia Qi everywhere.

I saw Xia Qi suddenly rushing out from behind Basong and rushing towards the far corner of the goal. There was no one else there except the goalkeeper.

Basong and Martin chased Xia Qi amidst the exclamations of their teammates.

Xia Qi swept out from behind Basong, but the football at Wilshere's feet passed to the left of the penalty spot.

When he saw Xia Qi appearing at his first choice point, Wilshere slapped himself on the spot.

He remembered what Xia Qi had said on the training ground: Pass whatever you want, just leave me alone.

I thought he was arrogant at the time, but now I realize that I was too naive.

His partner, Xia Qi, turned out to be seven stories tall!
  The left side of the penalty spot is also a good spot. Giroud, who grabbed the ball, moved his leg and shot angrily, but Michael stretched his leg to block it.

Norwich escaped unscathed.

"Track it! Keep two guys on it! Keep an eye on Xia Qi."

The Norwich coach is anxious, but he has no better way. He can only do it with one person, two people, or three people.

But quantity may not necessarily produce qualitative change.

Xia Qi has enhanced his off-ball movement, and this movement is disordered and difficult to predict in advance.

At the same time, Xia Qi is very good at using players on the court to hide his whereabouts.

Pilkington was almost mad at this kind of "hide and seek". He wanted to say to Xia Qi: "Just wait, I'll find my four-year-old son to play with you."

"Xia Qi's positioning is very smart. Did you teach him?"

Wenger saw Xia Qi throw away the defense again and asked Pat Rice, the uncle next to him.

"Isn't that your job? Do you want to frame me?"

"Hey, Arsène, he has a natural sense of smell and a natural sensitivity... In the world of genius, we mortals should not guess."

Wenger rubbed his brows and his voice sounded resentful like a little licking dog that cannot be loved: "Now, there is another training direction, what should I do?"

"That's your job, I don't work overtime."

"..."

There is not much time, the game has entered injury time.

Arsenal began to press forward with the entire army. Cazorla, who had always been Arsenal's main defensive force, suddenly exerted his strength and made a long pass from a long distance, directly finding Xia Qi's forward point.

The moment Xia Qi passed the ball, he accelerated forward.

However, the Norwich defenders were not a vegetarian. At that moment, they rushed forward uniformly.

Make offside!
  The linesman on duty immediately raised his flag and ruled that Xia Qi was offside.

Slow motion replay shows that Xia Qi's anti-offside was successful, but this was a misjudgment.

The linesman was paced by the defender.

With just over a minute left on the clock, Norwich had the ball.

Satisfied with one point, of course they started making trouble in the backcourt.

Arsenal could only press forward with their entire army and press high up the pitch.

Basson didn't wait for Xia Qi to rush in front of him and passed the football to goalkeeper Rudy. The latter took a big kick and the football flew towards the Arsenal half. Norwich forward Holt shot towards the frontcourt like an arrow.

Arsenal center backs Djuru and Mertesacker desperately chased after Holt.

Djurou was a little faster, but not much faster. When Holt entered the penalty area, he seized the opportunity of Holt to slow down and observe the goalkeeper.

Place the shovel immediately.

Looking at the slow-motion replay, this was a beautiful tackle.

But when the referee saw Holt's painful expression, he thought about the "scene" of the foul and sent off the stunned Djuru.

The Arsenal generals gathered around the referee to explain hard and asked for a change of decision, but the referee firmly believed that he was right.

Arsenal could only reluctantly accept the red dot package.

Holt inflicted his own punishment;
  Push the football into the lower left corner of the goal.

Norwich actually defeated Arsenal at 91 minutes and 46 seconds.

There was an earthquake at Carrow Road.

They clapped their hands in unison, stamped their feet, and sang the Norwich war hymn.

While his teammates were explaining to the referee, Wilshere said in Xia Qi's ear: "If it's a red dot, wait a minute, I'll kick the ball, and you grab the dot."

Xia Qi's eyes were shining. Normally, the referee would not blow the final whistle immediately after a penalty kick was scored.

Arsenal still has a chance to kick off, but I wonder how much time the referee can make up?
  Thinking of time, Xia Qi tried his best to signal Wilshere with his eyes, asking him to go to the referee to make up for the wasted time.

However, how could Wilshere understand such a complicated meaning.

"Hey! Xia, you are so rude. What do you think of my "stealing the tower" plan? Can you give me a message?"

nonsense!

If I could be autonomous, I would have run to the referee long ago.

"Hey! Say something!"

Xia Qi's eyes said: Don't pester me, hurry up and pester the referee.

really!

After Norwich scored, the celebration came back and Arsenal kicked off.

Arteta saw the striker rushing into the penalty area and kicked the ball to Wilshere, who lobbed a long pass into the penalty area.

One second ago:
  Xia Qi was pushing and shoving Pilkington and Garrido who were guarding him in the penalty area, but suddenly stopped fighting and rushed out of the penalty area, throwing them away.

Pilkington and Garrido didn't know what was going on. Anyway, it was the right thing to keep Xia Qi out of sight.

The two of them followed Xia Qi and rushed outside, causing everyone in the penalty area to focus their attention outside.

Xia Qi is rushing,
  suddenly,

brake!

Turn back!

Then he jumped high in the crowd with the help of a run-up, successfully completed the lever action in the air, and faced the flying football.

The lion shakes its head!

The football rushed towards the goal due to force, Norwich goalkeeper Rudy flew to save, and the football rushed into the net one second earlier!
  After Norwich's winning goal, it was evenly matched!

Arsenal players are excited!

All of them were shaking their fists and howling like wolves.

But they are happy too early!

The referee on duty made an unusual gesture and ruled that the ball was invalid.

The reason is:
  When Xia Qi jumped up, Giroud also jumped up in front. The referee believed that Giroud's action interfered with the goalkeeper's judgment.

Judgment, interference with the goalkeeper, first, the goal is invalid.

Arsenal is angry!

Wenger is angry!

Xia Qi was angry!

Ahem! Eyes!
  No matter how good your football skills are, you won't be able to do anything when you encounter a Premier League referee.

No matter how angry and roaring Arsenal were, the final score was still Norwich defeating Arsenal 2:1.

In the eighth round of the Premier League, the biggest upset occurred. Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season.
