Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 801 - 573: Mendes: As Long as You’re at Real Madrid, They’ll Never Buy Tang Long! (Part 2)

Faced with congratulations from all his teammates, Agüero merely reached out silently to indicate he would not celebrate, but he took the initiative to step forward and firmly shook Tang Long's hand.

His eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement. He said, "Ah, you really passed it! I just knew that as long as I ran, you would see it."

Agüero desperately suppressed the surging emotions inside him, and his voice trembled slightly.

Tang Long could tell that the forward was indeed very excited at this moment; he really wanted to celebrate.

If it were any other opponent, say Real Madrid, Agüero would have been overwhelmed with excitement after beating the goalkeeper and scoring a one-on-one goal, perhaps even taking off his shirt to celebrate, completely releasing his joy.

But facing Atletico Madrid, his old club, and the Atletico fans who once cheered for him, Agüero forcibly contained those feelings. This small gesture fully demonstrated his deep love and respect for Atletico Madrid.

This emotion made Tang Long recall his own experiences at Inter Milan back in the day.

At that time, he also left many unforgettable memories on Inter's pitch.

He couldn't help but wonder how it would be if he faced Inter again on the Champions League stage.

Would scoring make him excited, emotional, or, like Agüero now, filled with complex and indescribable feelings?

In the end, Manchester City defeated Atletico Madrid away with a 3-1 score, gaining an advantage in the first leg of the two-game series.

As the final whistle blew, the Atletico fans in the Wanda Metropolis stadium sighed in unison, feeling deeply disappointed as their team suffered a home defeat.

Meanwhile, the Manchester City players were cheering on the field, excited about this hard-earned victory.

Griezmann was the first to approach Tang Long, a hint of loss on his face, yet he remained polite.

He had a habit of always exchanging jerseys with the best and strongest players on the opposing team after each match, regardless of the result.

He said to Tang Long, with complex emotions, "Why did you retreat? Why didn't you come play as a forward?"

Tang Long seemed to have guessed Griezmann's thoughts, smiled slightly, and replied:

"I can play in any position. When you get back to Itihad, maybe I'll even play as a center-back."

His tone carried a hint of teasing, and a confident light shone in his eyes.

Griezmann caught the teasing in Tang Long's voice, snorted coldly in his heart, and thought, unwillingly, "Don't get too smug. When we get to Itihad, the outcome is still uncertain."

He clenched his fists secretly, filled with fighting spirit...

In a luxurious villa located 20 kilometers away from the Wanda Metropolis stadium,

C Luo and his agent Mendes sat in the spacious living room, attentively watching the match to its end.

The big screen in the living room kept replaying the exciting moments from the game.

"Cristiano, Tang delivered an assist hat-trick. What do you think?"

Mendes smiled, turning his head to look at C Luo with a probing glance.

C Luo said expressionlessly, "This is just an assist hat-trick, not a goal hat-trick. Mr. Mendes, you better get it right!"

Although he said this, C Luo's heart had long been stirred by waves of emotion.

In recent years, as age and knee injuries have caught up with him, a bulked-up C Luo has gradually transformed from a dribbling wizard to a goal-scoring machine.

Within Real Madrid, there are many excellent creators, like Di Maria, whose imaginative passes always create perfect scoring opportunities for C Luo.

Take Benzema, for example. Not only does he have excellent hold-up play, but he also always skillfully creates chances for C Luo; their understanding is seamless.

Modric, with his precise passing and excellent game vision, makes Real Madrid's offense smoother and provides many good balls for C Luo.

Kroos, his passes are as precise as guided missiles, always finding C Luo's position at the right moment.

With the help of these players, C Luo continually refreshes his personal goal records.

However, after watching this match, C Luo was full of admiration!

He stared intently at the TV screen, recalling every pass Tang Long made during the game, and he felt that currently, no passer in the Real Madrid squad could compare to Tang Long in this game.

Tang Long had been away from the midfield position for so long that people gradually forgot that he originally came from the midfield.

Whether in the attacking midfielder position, his eagle-eyed precise vision always finds the best passing route at critical moments, creating perfect attacking opportunities for teammates;

Or in the defensive midfielder position, his ability to control the pace of the game and the overall situation makes him a top world-class midfielder.

Though Tang Long didn't score in this match, which secretly comforted C Luo, as his top position in the Champions League scorer's list was temporarily safe from concern.

Yet the talent Tang Long displayed in passing left C Luo feeling a sense of regret... He frowned slightly, thinking, "If Tang could come to Real Madrid and play in the midfield, my annual goal tally would surely surpass Messi's by a large margin!"

"Mr. Mendes, tell me the truth," C Luo suddenly asked, "What's the likelihood of Real Madrid bringing Tang on board?" A trace of tension appeared in his tone, and his eyes were tightly fixed on Mendes.
