Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 749 - 538: Tang Long’s shot was so powerful, it caused someone on the field to suffer a herniated disc and someone off the field to faint!
Tang Long takes a shot!
The ball goes wide of the goal again.
Although he adjusted his balance well, he was still disturbed by Milner’s impact, so he didn’t hit the ball precisely.
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet symbolically stretched out his hand, watching the ball fly over the crossbar.
"Tang Long’s two long shots at the start, both over!"
"It seems he was indeed affected by Milner’s defense."
"This might be Milner’s first time playing as a left-back this season, is this Klopp’s secret weapon?"
"Looking at Klopp’s expression, I think it must be!"
The camera cut to a close-up of the Liverpool manager.
Klopp excitedly punched the air, as if Liverpool had scored a goal, not that Tang Long shot over.
It’s not surprising, because cutting inside from the left and shooting was once Ronaldo’s specialty, and now Tang Long has perfectly replicated this move. His swift dribble and shot have almost become his signature move, striking fear into countless Premier League defenders.
But this time, Milner volunteered, which was not in Klopp’s pre-match plan, considering it a peculiar tactic.
"Now to gain points at the Etihad, we must use unconventional tactics!" Klopp decided to gamble.
Tang Long, having exerted too much power, took a step and knelt on one knee to release the tension.
"Is this really the Ballon d’Or third place? If you’re third, then I could win the Ballon d’Or. Stand up, kid!" Milner continued to taunt.
After the European Cup, Milner’s wish was fulfilled.
Mancini did not favor this player, having already excluded him from the starting lineup, and Milner’s national team career had almost ended.
This time, against his old club Manchester City, Milner came with a flame of revenge. He was determined to win the match, to make his former club regret ruthlessly discarding him.
And all of this began when Tang Long joined Manchester City from Inter, taking his position!
Tang Long heard Milner’s provocation but did not respond.
He felt a strange warmth releasing in his calf.
This warmth gradually turned into heat, and finally, his calf felt like it was on fire, then suddenly it subsided.
"Yes, just like that!"
Tang Long excitedly clenched his fist, jumped high in place, and without looking at Milner, turned and walked away.
Milner was stunned and thought, "He missed, yet he’s jumping around. Is he crazy?"
...
Through this shot against Milner, Tang Long had a moment of insight.
Liverpool, having been suppressed for half an hour, gradually recovered and launched a counterattack.
Throughout the Red Army, Milner was the most actively running!
In the 32nd minute, this flank counterattack was initiated by right-back Klein, with Henderson in the middle holding off the slender Diego, serving as a pillar, before passing the ball to the advancing Milner on the other side.
In the Sky Sports studio, commentator Gerrard exclaimed:
"What a play! Henderson’s support reminds me of Vieira during his Arsenal days, standing firm like a towering pillar."
"Milner has the ball. My god, he’s actually forcing his way past Robertson!"
"He’s through!"
"Robertson clearly lacks experience. He’s fast but hasn’t secured his position!"
"Milner crosses!"
"Fermino is in the middle!"
Bam!
Ranocchia heads the ball far out of the penalty area, while also sending Firmino flying.
"Ah... what a shame." sighed Gerrard.
Milner was equally frustrated; he thought, "I made such a good pass, dribbled so beautifully, why can’t I beat Ranocchia’s header?"
Just as he was pondering this, Milner was shocked and hurried back to defense—
Tang Long had the ball!
As Milner crossed, Tang Long was also retreating, but upon seeing Ranocchia leap high, he turned and left~
Sure enough, Ranocchia’s header went to his side, and because Tang Long started predictably, he got the ball smoothly.
Bang bang bang—
Tang Long dribbled forward, it was a fast transition from defense to attack!
"Ah—"
A shout came, and Tang Long glanced sideways, seeing Milner charging at him full of aggression.
"Hey, you’re really going all out!" Tang Long did a Marseille Spin, getting past Henderson, then turned to smile at Milner, who was only three meters away.
"I’m watching you like a hawk, Tang!" Milner’s foot followed his shout, rushing in.
Bang bang!
Tang Long did an on-the-spot flick, dodging Milner, continuing forward!
"Forward, forward!"
"Charge, Tang!"
The decibels from Etihad’s fans rose!
Even after being passed, Milner continued his relentless chase, and Tang Long successively got past Emre Can and Klavan, yet Milner stuck to him like glue.
"You’re staying here, kid!"
As Tang Long surprisingly got past center-back Klavan, Milner, unwilling to let Tang Long go one-on-one, charged like a hungry wolf to knock Tang Long down outside the penalty area.
Even if it meant getting a red card, he couldn’t let Tang Long score—this was the madness in Milner’s heart.
Bam!
Faced with Milner’s frantic move, Tang Long sidestepped, using his hip and thigh muscles to thrust into his waist with force!
Milner felt a massive hit, his most vulnerable waist cracked, sending his whole body swirling in the air like a flipped fried egg, landing flat on the ground.
"Ah!!!"
This scream of agony made Milner’s eyes nearly burst.
But it was also during this excruciating moment, that he witnessed a world-class goal.
Tang Long, outside the box, about 25 meters from the goal, lifted his foot and shot!
In Milner’s view, he saw an unbelievable curve; the football first flew like a sword towards the goal, but just as Mignolet attempted a save, it suddenly wobbled left — right — left!
Mignolet leaped like a frog, using both hands and feet frantically, but missed, and the ball zipped past him into the net!
"Ah, this shot!"
Milner lay on the ground, utterly stunned.
No matter how he thought about it, Tang Long had just delivered such inexplicable curve!
What troubled him even more was that at first, the ball wasn’t spinning; yet the speed was so fast, how did it become unpredictably wobbly just in front of the goalkeeper???
Milner slowly stood up, witnessing a scene he never wished to see—
Tang Long stood there, arms wide towards that side of the Etihad stand.
"Tang!!!!" The cheers roared across the sky.
This goal inflicted a deep sense of humiliation on Milner.
Because Tang Long scored after sending him flying!
A stabbing pain emanated from his waist, and just after standing, Milner’s body went limp, clutching his waist, he knelt down.
"Oooo!"
This blood-curdling scream shocked everyone present.
Liverpool’s team doctor entered the field.
The stretcher was brought in.
Milner was subbed off.
"What’s wrong with him?" Klopp rushed to the sidelines.
"Herniated disc!" the doctor said anxiously.
Upon receiving the reply, Klopp held his head in his hands.
The excitement he felt about Milner holding off Tang Long was now matched by his shock.
Milner was bumped by Tang Long, and then he ended up with a herniated disc?
In ten years of coaching, Klopp had never seen an injury like this.
As Klopp was in shock, there was another commotion among the fan stands behind him.
"Oh no!"
"A fan has fainted!"
Tang Long glanced over to see a plump man clutching his chest, surrounded by chaos.
The referee appropriately stopped the game, letting Manchester City’s medical staff enter the field to assist, and the man was carried away.
From a distance, Tang Long only saw someone with black hair, seemingly an Asian.
"Hmm, this person looks familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before?" thought Tang Long.
