Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions

All the heroes were inwardly amazed, and their admiration for Toure increased a bit more.

It's no wonder he's a player who's won the treble with Barça; his comprehension ability is truly high!

Forward Aguero has a simpler mind, without so many convolutions like Toure.

He didn't quite understand it at all, but seeing Toure look like he fully grasped it, as a key figure in the team, Aguero thought, if he asked Tang Long anymore questions at this point, it would make him seem less insightful than Toure.

Even though you've got honors with Barça, I'm the Premier League's top scorer, aiming to be the team's all-time top scorer. My status in the team might not be lower than yours and could even be higher!

But like Toure, leaving just like that, Aguero felt reluctant, so he could only say grudgingly to Tang Long, "I got the gist, and there's some detail left; I'll simulate it with you on the training field!" Then he quickly walked away.

With the two leaders in the team having "understood," the other players felt it even less appropriate to ask further questions.

Everyone looked at Tang Long with eyes full of awe, then dispersed.

Even Kolarov, who initiated this spectating, had a look as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Tang Long felt that if he continued sitting with Kolarov, there might be trouble, so he straightforwardly got up and went to sit two rows back with Ranocchia.

"Did you understand, Ranocchia?" Tang Long asked.

While the Manchester City heroes were watching Tang Long earlier, Ranocchia had been sitting at the back.

He heard everyone's conversation crystal clear, and had to pinch his thigh hard to hold back his laughter.

In the entire Manchester City team, the one who knew Tang Long best was him.

Ranocchia said, "Of course I understood. Only smart people can understand the secret you explained. It's a fairy tale, right?"

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

...

Manchester City won the Premier League's opening match.

Though the process was full of ups and downs, the result was quite steady.

Since it was the earliest match among the ten league games, all of England's focus was on this duel.

Tang Long's performance in the match earned him much praise from the British media!

The Manchester Evening News put Tang Long's photo as the match's best player on the front page headline.

In the photo, Tang Long, with sharp brows and starry eyes, stood tall, holding an MVP crystal trophy with his left hand, his youthful spirit jumping off the paper!

"With just one match, he's shown the world that as last season's best midfielder in Serie A, he is fully capable of continuing to write his glorious chapters on the Premier League stage!"

The Guardian was more direct with a simple and clear headline.

[One goal, one assist in 30 minutes, Tang is Manchester City's biggest contributor to their first win of the season]

"Coming from Serie A, Tang conquered the picky Manchester City fans in just 30 minutes, and even caught the eyes of other home team supporters!"

"With his first touch, he provided an assist, blowing the trumpet for Blue Moon's counterattack!"

"With his first shot, he sealed the game, becoming the nightmare of White Hart Lane!"

"If Manchester City spent a club-record €71 million to sign a boy not yet 19, criticized by many as an irresponsible gamble, now we can proudly say it's not a gamble but a wise investment in a prodigious new star!"

The Financial Times had a similar stance to The Guardian.

"If we liken this Chinese boy to a stock, he would certainly be a stock with strong growth potential. The Manchester City Club has a very unique vision; they want to be the Buffett of the football investment world. If they can hold onto Tang, this stock, for at least a decade, disregarding the increase in stock price, just the significant dividends each year would make Manchester City tremendously profitable!"

Of course, the happiest would be the Premier League itself.

When they were scheduling, they insisted on having Manchester City play the much-anticipated opener because they bet on Tang Long.

Now it seems, their gamble paid off handsomely!

The Asian market was already the Premier League's second-largest overseas base outside Europe.

Tang Long's explosive debut in the Premier League fueled what's already a strong fire in the Asian market!

It is reported that many Asian sponsors have proactively approached the Premier League to become official partners, naturally including companies from Tang Long's China.

In the words of Premier League CEO Richard, "The phenomenon sparked by Tang Long shows that the world's best players should all come and play in the Premier League; this is the grand stage where they can showcase their incredible lives!"

...

Sunday is a holiday.

Tang Long didn't go anywhere, staying at a temporary hotel, first feeding data to the AI system in the morning, then watching live Premier League matches in the afternoon.

One TV, two tablets, one phone, four screens playing four different matches.

Manchester United vs. Leicester City, Icardi starting.

Everton vs. Watford, Handanovic starting.

Arsenal vs. West Ham United, Podolski starting.

Crystal Palace vs. Norwich, Yuto Nagatomo starting.

Tang Long's eyes roamed back and forth over the four screens, observing the performances of his former Inter teammates.

Whenever one of his former teammates held the ball, Tang Long's attention would zero in on him.

It's undeniable that these former Inter teammates had impressive performances in their Premier League debuts!
