Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions

"Where is Mr. Chiwo now? I'd like to meet him," Tang Long said.

"Well, you probably won't be able to see him. He's still in his homeland Romania right now. Ah, you know, the national team has relatively fewer duties, doesn't train every day, quite unlike the club, busy all the time. It's good that Mr. Chiwo has time to spend with his family and kids, unlike me. After leaving Milan, to avoid a long-distance relationship, my whole family has to follow me around. Sigh, I just managed to settle my daughter's school issues yesterday, it's quite bothersome," Ranocchia said gloomily.

Indeed, compared to clubs, national team matches are fewer.

Last year, in 2014, the England national team played only 13 matches, which is less than a club's three-month workload.

Thinking of this, Tang Long felt a sense of regret for Chiwo.

He's only 34, so young. At his age, many players are still actively playing.

During the year working with Chiwo, Tang Long found Chiwo to be a coach full of passion for coaching work, possessing strong responsibility and dedication!

Regularly editing video technical analysis late into the night.

The next day, with red eyes, he passionately explained the issues in their respective matches to the players.

Can he stand the idleness as an assistant coach for the national team?

However, Tang Long changed his mind and thought, Inter Milan is now controlled by that old sly Ossilio.

The newly appointed head coach Leno is Chiwo's old rival from his youth team days.

If he insists on staying at Inter Milan, Chiwo's days probably won't be pleasant.

He really can't imagine what kind of harmonious scene it would be if Chiwo were to be Leno's assistant.

It's likely that within 10 minutes of the game starting, before the players are even warmed up, the two would start arguing in the coaching area.

Moreover, Mancini has been a mentor to Chiwo.

If Chiwo can continue working with his mentor, it's also a good choice for him.

After all, Mancini is a top-class European coach. Chiwo can certainly learn a lot.

"But, Tang, you don't need to worry about not seeing him. The national team flies around major cities inspecting local players when the league starts, especially with the European Cup next year. I'm counting on Conte to come to Manchester and evaluate me! Chiwo will definitely be at Itihad, and Mancini too. You'll have plenty of time to catch up, maybe even have a drink or two," Ranocchia said.

Tang Long nodded.

Then, he took out his laptop from the bag and plugged in the USB stick.

Ranocchia, while pressing the accelerator, curiously looked over at Tang Long.

"Starting already? Truly strange, I've been a player for many years and have never seen anyone so keen on watching match videos. Aren't these supposed to be what coaches do? You're young, got a lot of ideas. After ten years when you retire, you'll definitely be a good coach!"

...

Returning late, Tang Long had a good sleep, waking up at noon.

Manchester City Club, with its thoughtful service, used a special car to take him to the Manchester medical lab.

The female team doctor conducting Tang Long's physical examination is named Gracie.

Graduated from the University of Manchester Medical School, a local from Manchester, estimated to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a sweet smile.

"Hello, Tang, I'm Gracie, the team doctor for Manchester City, I'll be conducting your physical examination. Please follow me."

Inter's team doctors are all males, with the chief physician Comby being a muscular bald guy.

Tang Long had long heard of female team doctors in the Premier League and didn't expect to encounter one right upon arriving in Manchester.

Height, weight, hearing, vision, heart rate, blood pressure, lung capacity, body fat rate, blood tests...

After these standard tests, Gracie took Tang Long to a small room and closed the door.

"Take off your shirt and pants," Gracie said.

Her soft hands worked on Tang Long's bare upper body, connecting various medical devices for an electrocardiogram test, recording cardiac echo.

"All good, no issues, let's check your teeth, open wide!"

She specifically examined his teeth.

Looking at Gracie's brown hair as she probed like a dentist with tweezers in his mouth, Tang Long couldn't help but ask why he needed a dental check for a physical examination.

Dr. Grace chuckled, softly explaining, "The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that among the examined British players, 77% had gingivitis, and 80% had periodontal disease, with an increased injury risk when teeth are misaligned. Inability to chew properly affects digestion, thus impacting nutrient delivery to muscles. Also, teeth misalignment can cause scoliosis. This is why our club added this special check this year, all new signings must have their teeth examined."

Tang Long said, "No worries there, I eat well and sleep well."

"And how's your bowel movement?" Gracie pursued.

"Uh, it's good too, once a day," Tang Long answered honestly.

"Morning, afternoon, or evening?"

"Ah? Let me think," Tang Long paused, "Mostly in the afternoon."

"You should pay attention, it's an issue. You must change your bowel habit, ideally in the morning, but lunchtime is acceptable if you can't go in the morning."

Taking a dump at fixed times? What is this logic?

Tang Long was full of questions.

But looking at Gracie's serious expression, he didn't think she was joking.

Gracie further explained, "Serie A matches mostly happen after 7 pm local time, so afternoon bowel movements are fine. However, Premier League matches are often at 3 pm, and if you're used to afternoon bowel movements, what would you do if you suddenly need to go during a game? Hold it and keep playing or excuse yourself to the restroom?"

"If you go in the morning and play in the afternoon, your body will be less burdened, which is another benefit. Got it, kid?"

"...Got it." Tang Long chuckled, finding this female team doctor quite considerate.

He had previously encountered this situation at Inter.

It happened during a match against Genoa. Starting player Gualin played well but had to rush to the toilet during halftime. It took over 10 minutes, and Mancini couldn't find him when discussing tactics. Frustrated, he replaced him with Kovacic. Afterward, he even scolded Gualin in front of the entire team.

Ultimately, Gualin had to publicly apologize, promising to never use the toilet during halftime again.

Since that incident, every halftime break, people would tease Gualin, "Time to go number two, hurry, or else you'll have an accident!"

"Alright, now I need you to kneel on the bed, butt up, let me check for any weird stuff inside you."

Gracie changed into blue gloves, smilingly walked towards Tang Long.
