Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 43: Serie A Debut Goal! Even Archrival Gualin Was Stunned!

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Serie A Debut Goal! Even Archrival Gualin Was Stunned!

The ball has a 65.38% chance of being cleared at the near post and a 34.62% chance of falling to the far post!

Tang Long didn’t have time to analyze how the AI system determined this.

In a flash, Tang Long had to take a gamble!

Even if there’s only a one-third chance of it falling to the far post, it’s a good opportunity to try!

In set-piece tactics, Tang Long’s original position was at the top of the penalty area arc, vying for the second ball while guarding against counter-attacks.

Seeing Tang Long leave his position, Yuto Nagatomo, the Japanese fullback dragging behind, felt a jolt in his heart~

"The arc is empty, Tang!" he shouted anxiously.

At this moment, the ball was already landing towards the near post.

Bologna’s midfielder Davis and Icardi simultaneously jumped to contest the first ball!

Why did the AI system predict that there’s a 65.38% chance of it being cleared at the near post?

Because Davis’s position is very good!

He was already standing at the near post, while Icardi had to go around from the center to the near post, lacking the advantage in movement distance.

Barring any surprises, the 183cm tall Davis could easily clear this ball.

But why does the ball have a 34.62% chance of falling to the far post?

This is because the AI system detected that Davis, who had been elbowed twice on the head and chest, was performing below normal!

Especially the elbow hit to the temple, which made Davis’s reaction slightly sluggish.

Based on real-time detection data, the AI system predicted that Davis had about a one-third chance of missing the ball!

"Mine!"

Davis jumped high, shouted loudly, and vigorously swung his head, attempting to head the ball back into Inter’s half.

Whoosh——

The ball brushed past his hair!

Sure enough, Davis missed the header!

He made a fatal error in judging the ball’s landing spot and jumped too late!

At the moment of missing the ball, Davis felt a chill in his heart—damn...

Right behind him was Icardi, who had jumped simultaneously!

It’s like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the bird behind.

Icardi has top-notch ball position judgment, even if Davis’s missed header momentarily confused him, the Argentine star still managed to head the ball!

A standard forward’s near-post flick header!

The ball, with intense speed, brushed against Icardi’s sweat-covered forehead, and with his rapid head movement, the ball’s speed and direction changed!

The height also changed, sending the ball towards the far post!

"There’s no one, don’t panic!"

In their typical man-marking defense, Bologna had one defender marking one Inter player in the penalty area.

In their defense setup, all Inter players were tightly marked, and everyone thought this ball would spin out over the goal line.

Just as everyone thought it was calm.

A blue-black figure appeared ghost-like on the ball’s path at the far post!

It’s Tang Long!

He exerted all his strength, tightened his abdomen, and leaped with his calf tendons taut!

When the ball smashed into his forehead, Tang Long could see nothing of the goalkeeper; he could only see the white nylon net ties slightly trembling, like a mother extending her embrace to her child!

Come! It’s right here!

Boom!

Two meters from the goal, Tang Long rolled into the net with the ball!

He lay on the ground, looking outside the goal.

In the penalty area, over a dozen people, more than twenty pairs of eyes, all stared at him!

Bologna’s players looked terrified!

Inter teammates showed joyful amazement!

Upon hearing the whistle for the goal, Tang Long instantly got up, hugged the ball, and ran out of the goal, kicking towards the sky!

"I scored! I scored!!!"

All Inter players rushed to him!

Icardi ran the fastest, diving in and directly pinning Tang Long to the ground.

"Haha, it was my assist that led to your winning goal!"

Thirty thousand Bologna fans in the home stadium fell silent.

As quiet as a library.

Only the Inter players’ shouts echoed across the stadium.

Mancini held his head in disbelief, asking assistant coach Herrera, "My God, why is Tang in that position when he was supposed to mark the arc in our set-piece tactic!"

"I don’t know," Herrera embraced Mancini excitedly, "Anyway, he scored! Boss, we can clinch victory against Bologna!"

After the restart, the match entered the 84th minute and continued intensely.

The leading Inter became conservative, retreating appropriately, while Bologna gambled everything and pushed forward, creating a fast-paced game when Inter’s goal faced several threats, and Tang Long actively retreated to aid in defense.

Neither the players on the field or the sidelines, nor the coaches had time to analyze how Tang Long scored or why he appeared mysteriously at the opponent’s far-post position—the only thing they knew was that the position originally did not belong to him.

However, many fans watching on TV were savoring the goal.

For example, Gualin, who was watching the live broadcast at his home in Milan City!

Ever since Tang Long scored the far-post header, Gualin had lost interest in watching the rest of the match.

He repeatedly pulled the progress bar to watch the replay of the goal.

Initially, seeing Inter finally taking the lead, Gualin instinctively raised his arm in celebration!

But when he saw it was Tang Long who scored, Gualin’s face suddenly darkened!

Looked a bit displeased!

You must know, Gualin and Tang Long had historically poor relations.

Moreover, due to weight issues, Gualin didn’t make it to the match squad.

In the 4312 formation, the position that replaced Gualin was precisely Tang Long!

In Gualin’s view, this feeling, how to put it, sigh...

Like a nail, piercing his little heart~

Especially when he saw Tang Long score—even possibly with the winning goal, Gualin’s heart seemingly bled!

"How can this be!"

"How could he be in that position!"

"Why was he alone at the far post, did Bologna’s defenders eat shit?"

Gualin even began criticizing the opponent’s defense for being sloppy.

Nonetheless, after watching the replay six times, the Colombian star still saw some things.

Gualin was surprised to find two places that confused him!

First, at the moment Brozovic released the ball, Tang Long already left his original position at the arc and sneakily ran to the far post.

Second, Davis’s stance was clearly better than Icardi’s. At the moment Davis jumped high, Gualin noticed other players, even Bologna’s defenders, relaxed their vigilance, thinking Davis would definitely clear the ball.

Even their forward Destro started sprinting, ready to contest the ball outside the penalty area.

But only Tang Long!

He alone was desperate, making a frantic dash to the far post, flying with the last few steps!

Ultimately, Davis missed the header, Icardi flicked the header, and Tang Long gratefully accepted the open goal.

"Ah, ah, ah, this kid, he seems... seems to have known in advance that the ball would definitely go to the far post!"

Gualin grasped his hair with both hands, sinking into chaos.
