Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions

This requires the coach to show immense courage and also reveals extreme disappointment in this player.

Tang Long suddenly felt a bit sorry for Milner. Some things just can't be compensated for with effort.

However, Milner wouldn't take it lying down!

Why should my position be taken by foreigners? We, English natives, can't establish ourselves at Manchester City?

In the 88th minute, Milner managed to create an opportunity with his aggressive tackling!

Once again, he clashed with West Brom's Jacob.

These two are practically sworn enemies; both are really headstrong.

Jacob had opportunities to pass but, like Milner, chose not to. Instead, he protected the ball, attempting to use body contact to push away his opponent. Their shoulders and back muscles collided back and forth, each displaying their masculine vigor.

But this time, Milner still showed his rich experience as the troublemaker in the front field.

Seizing the moment when Jacob was off-balance, Milner looped his foot around and hooked the ball first, then the ball took Jacob down!

"You can't beat me, kid!"

Milner laughed out loud and stormed away with the ball.

West Brom was going all out, with their formation pushed quite high. Sterling on the left and Agüero on the right both found their positions; passing to either could easily lead to a scoring opportunity.

Despite how Milner in the locker room often ignored Sterling, being fellow members of the English Language Gang, Milner had to look out for his little brother Sterling, if only for himself.

He opted to pass to Sterling!

Sterling took the ball into the area, one-on-one!

Sterling missed!

Sterling held his head with regret.

He was preparing to sincerely apologize to Milner when Milner approached him, pressing his forehead against Sterling's head.

Sterling, at 172 cm, is one of the few Manchester City players on the field shorter than Milner.

Milner could only look up to Ranocchia's nostrils earlier, but now he was towering over Sterling, "You wasted my assist, you're really useless, Sterling!"

Milner was certainly angry; if Sterling had scored, he would have gotten an assist, which would have compensated for the earlier mistake that led to losing a goal, and Manchester City could have killed the game entirely.

Sterling was sprayed with Milner's saliva, his face full of the bad breath odor. He quietly wiped his face and rubbed it on his jersey, standing awkwardly in place.

At this moment, Sterling suddenly thought of his old big brother Gerrard at Liverpool.

No matter how many chances he wasted, Captain Jie would at most criticize him a bit after the game, but he would never blame him during the match, let alone spray him with saliva and call him useless.

It was Agüero's shout that finally snapped Sterling back to reality, getting him involved in the defense.

But his eyes were full of grievance as he gritted his teeth and ran.

Eventually, Manchester City endured West Brom's frantic attack, winning 2-1 against the visiting West Brom, securing their first home win of the new season and achieving two consecutive victories in the league.

3-2 in the first round, 2-1 in the second, although the matches were quite thrilling, the results were decent. Pellegrini exhaled a long breath of relief, smiling as he shook hands and greeted West Brom's head coach.

As a coach, winning games always makes you happy; no one frowns after a victory.

However, Manchester City fans on the scene were not happy!

Fans spend forty quid to watch the game live; they're not here for the tactics but for the spectacle and excitement!

Clearly suppressing the opponents for the entire match, but the last ten minutes turned into such a mess, with a head start but a weak finish.

And what's Milner doing? My grandma could stand there and know to pass the ball out. If not, at least clear it; why act like a dribbling expert? You know you're not up to it, right?

So, when Manchester City players came to the stands to thank the fans, the applause was mixed with a significant proportion of boos!

No need to ask, the boos were all for Milner.

Ranocchia looked at Milner and thought this guy must have quite the nerve to dare come with the whole team to thank the fans; no kidding, the fans really want to thank you!

...

After the match, Pellegrini brought Tang Long along for the press conference.

For the season's first home match post-conference, Pellegrini bringing Tang Long along indicates the importance given to this new Chinese signing.

Having honed his skills for a season in Serie A, Tang Long was adept at dealing with journalists.

He knew what they wanted to ask and what answers they were hoping for behind those suggestive questions.

"The difference between the Premier League and Serie A? The Premier League has a faster pace, is more physically demanding, highlighting the skills of individual players, while Serie A emphasizes overall tactics and team collaboration."

"Would Manchester United regret not signing me? De Bruyne is an excellent player; he deserves to play for Manchester United."

"Will Icardi come to Manchester City in the future? Sorry, you'll have to ask the club management; I'm not clear on transfers."

"Adaptation period to the Premier League? As you say, every new signing needs an adjustment period, but I think it won't take long. I've shown my answer on the field."

"Relationship with Ranocchia? Team-mates and also brothers; being able to continue fighting alongside him in the Premier League is a rare opportunity, and I cherish it greatly."
