Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 774 - 558: C Luo laughed and turned off the TV early: The gap between Tang and me is that he can’t make a decisive impact!

Seeing the enthusiastic cheers from Bayern Munich fans, Tang Long regretfully slapped his thigh.

No matter how much he guarded, he managed to stop Robben but couldn't prevent his free kick!

However, Tang Long couldn't say much because both Kompany and Stones are top defenders in the Premier League, their defensive skills are impeccable.

They just happened to face Bayern Munich, not Arsenal or Manchester United!

Now there's been some subtle changes in the situation on the field.

Up to now, both teams have scored 2:1 in the two rounds of home and away matches.

And the number of away goals and home goals is exactly the same.

The match has now reached the 70th minute.

The remaining 20 minutes are a severe test for both teams.

This means whichever team scores first has a great chance of winning the two-leg match.

When masters face off, often the first hundreds of moves are setups, and that final lethal move is the hidden threat.

As for when to make this lethal move, both Manchester City and Bayern are extremely cautious.

At this stage of the match, both sides' stamina has decreased.

No one wants to push too hard, for fear of leaving gaps behind and giving the opponent a chance.

Aguero looks exceptionally tired.

This Argentine forward has not performed well in this match.

Although he had two shots, neither hit the target, and his passing accuracy is also low.

Guardiola turned his head and saw Bonazzoli's eager eyes.

He felt it was time to fulfill his promise.

"Bonazzoli, get in there, replace Aguero, God bless you."

In the 75th minute, Aguero off, Bonazzoli on!

If it were a usual time, Aguero definitely wouldn't want to be substituted, but as he exchanged with Bonazzoli on the sidelines, he heavily patted his back.

"You better score for me quickly, or I'll never forgive you!" cried Aguero.

Bonazzoli nodded, gritted his teeth, and sprinted towards the forward position at top speed.

He made a cross over his chest, yet his thoughts went to his mother in the hospital.

"Mom, I finally made it to the Champions League knockout stage; your son definitely won't let you down!"

Ancelotti saw Guardiola using the vigorous Bonazzoli to replace the tired Aguero and immediately responded.

He also made a positional substitution, putting French star Ribery on and taking Douglas Costa off.

This change instantly ignited passion inside the live broadcast room!

-[Oh man, Ribery is finally on the field!]

-[Robben and Ribery joining forces, the Robbery duo, reappearing in the arena!]

-[Not easy, one is 33 years old, the other 34, both are veterans now!]

-[Old soldiers never die, who knows how many more years this Robbery duo can play for Bayern?]

-[These two flanks are absolutely the best wing duo in the world, even though they're aging, but in terms of experience, they should still be able to crush Manchester City.]

As both are aging, the instances where Robben and Ribery appear together on the field are becoming less frequent; if not one injured, then the other, much like Vieri and Ronaldo were back in the day.

Nonetheless, their appearance still made Guardiola's heart tighten on the sidelines.

"It seems Ancelotti, this old man, definitely doesn't want to play into extra time, he absolutely wants to resolve the match within 90 minutes!"

Guardiola knew long ago that Ribery hadn't fully recovered, and he was playing with an injury.

So Ancelotti's substitution was extremely bold because Ribery, who hasn't fully recovered, making a hasty appearance, could very likely aggravate his injury.

But for the sake of advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals, Ancelotti is risking it!

He simply can't accept a scenario where someone who coached Bayern last year, eliminating Manchester City, is now leading Manchester City to defeat Bayern.

He can't swallow this!

He doesn't want to be overshadowed by Guardiola!

With Robben and Ribery joining forces, Bayern's offensive surge regained momentum.

The players understood this was a strong signal from Ancelotti, which is not to be conservative, but to defeat the opponent at Allianz Arena, their home ground!

Tang Long could hold off one Robben, but adding Ribery made it hard.

After all, Tang Long, no matter how impressive, is just one person, and these two are on opposite flanks, leaving Tang Long unable to manage both.

Moreover, Tang Long isn't purely a defensive player; he also undertakes the tasks of advancing and organizing possession.

As the match progressed, Bayern again took control of the rhythm, with ball possession hitting 70% over nearly 10 minutes.

Manchester City players scarcely touched the ball and could only adopt a defensive crunch strategy.

Fortunately, Guardiola dispatched troops, taking off the fatigued Diego and putting on defensive midfield sweeper Delph, reinforcing the central barrier.

Thus, although Bayern was attacking fiercely, there weren't many threatening shots.

Time ticked away, and in a blink, the match reached the 85th minute.

The referee was already communicating with the fourth official via earpiece about additional time for the match.

Both Guardiola and Ancelotti were discussing strategies for extra time with their assistants.

However, there were two people on the field who didn't think that way.

One was Tang Long.

Tang Long always believed in a saying; a saying his agent Ronaldo taught him.

"My years of footballing experience tell me that what determines the outcome is often the last 10 minutes!"

The other one was Bonazzoli.

This was Bonazzoli's first time appearing on such a top-tier stage as the Champions League knockout stage.

He vowed at the moment of his appearance that he would not make a fruitless trip to Munich; he was determined to leave his own mark.

...

...

Italy, Naples.

C Luo was also watching the match from a hotel in Naples.

Real Madrid won the first home leg against Naples 3-1.

This morning, the entire Real Madrid team arrived by plane in this southern city of Italy.

The second leg of their away match against Naples will kick off tomorrow.

During a break in the evening, C Luo also focused on the match.

Rather than saying he was focused on Manchester City and Bayern, it's more accurate to say he was watching Tang Long's performance!

Seeing Robben and Ribery on the field, Bayern instantly suppressed Manchester City and took control of the situation, with neither Tang Long nor Bonazzoli having much chance to shine on the attack.

C Luo smiled faintly.

"Just Bayern scared Manchester City like this, it's truly interesting."

"Tang's first volley was indeed impressive, but the difference between him and me is that he lacks the ability to score a decisive goal."

The time has already reached the 89th minute, the regular time is about to end, and the fourth official has raised the sign for 4 minutes of added time.

It's already 9:30, C Luo is not interested in watching the extra time; he always maintains the good habit of going to bed by 10 PM, especially before major matches, he prefers not to stay up late.

Straightforwardly, he turned off the TV and went to wash up for bed.

Before turning off the lights, C Luo was still thinking:

"Tang scored another goal in this match, surpassing me by one. In this away match against Naples, I'll strive for a brace to surpass him by one!"

...

...

Almost at the very moment the assistant referee had just set down the sign for 4 minutes of added time.

Tang Long and Gundogan played a one-two, then sent out a through pass!

"Bonazzoli!" Tang Long called out this name in his heart.

Bonazzoli was also connected in spirit, at the very moment Tang Long passed the ball, he slightly retreated to avoid the offside trap set by Hummels and Martinez, then continued forward with a change of direction.

On the sidelines, Guardiola and Chiwo's hearts were in their throats, and all the Manchester City players on the bench couldn't sit still, jumping up and down to the edge of the field!

They saw Bonazzoli bringing the ball into the penalty area!

At this moment, Bonazzoli felt his mind was a chaotic mess, unable to hear any sound except the pounding of his own heartbeat.

His legs felt somewhat numb, and even while advancing with the ball, he couldn't feel the feedback of his foot touching the ball.

At this moment, he was incredibly nervous!

Though he subconsciously made the offside trap run, when the opportunity actually descended upon him, seeing Neuer's tall figure standing at the goal line, Bonazzoli felt a bit panicked!

In his panic, Hummels rushed up.

"Don't hesitate!"

Tang Long's shout was still a beat late, as Bonazzoli was lifting his foot, Hummels slid in blocking the shooting pathway just right.

Not only was Bonazzoli's shot blocked, but he was also brought down by Hummels.

"Ah..." Guardiola was furious, jumping a meter high in place.

Chiwo also furiously punched his temple, secretly cursing Bonazzoli for not being aggressive enough; why didn't you shoot earlier, even if you don't score, you're too slow.

Watching the helplessly sprawled Bonazzoli on the ground, Hummels smiled faintly.

"Haha, thanks~"

Hummels, with his battle-hardened experience, showed great composure.

Seeing only Bonazzoli lying on the ground beside him and no other Manchester City players coming to pressure him, he didn't rush to kick the ball high but brought it past Bonazzoli lying on the ground.

At that exact moment, something unexpected happened!

Initially lying there, Bonazzoli suddenly sprang like a lizard forward!

With this spring, his body instantly shifted a meter to the left, with his head right in the path of Hummels' advancing.

Bang!

Bonazzoli actually completed a tackle with his head!

Hummels was caught off guard.

He hadn't expected Bonazzoli on the ground to pull such a trick!

At this point, Hummels wasn't looking on the ground, bringing the ball up searching for teammates, but with a crack, Bonazzoli tripped him!

While everyone was dumbfounded, Tang Long rushed forward!

This sudden change woke up the other Bayern defenders, Martinez rushed towards Tang Long!

Bonazzoli wanted to get up, but the recent head impact left him in a semi-conscious state, unable to get up for a moment.

Instead, Hummels jumped up with a shock, standing up, looking confused about what just happened.

Looking up, he saw Tang Long charging at him, instantly understanding everything, not caring, dove in to try and clear the ball out of the penalty area.

"Mine!!!"

Tang Long shouted, diving after the ball!

Like Hummels, both aimed for the fifty-fifty ball ahead.

Whoosh!

But Tang Long was faster, reaching the ball ten centimeters ahead of Hummels, poking the ball to Neuer's left with the tip of his shoe!

Chua!

The football found the net!

Bam!

Tang Long and Hummels collided heavily, then crashed onto Bonazzoli.

For a moment, in Bayern's penalty area, all three were down, unable to get up!
