Chapter 813: Chapter 577: The Soccer Ball Pierces the Air! Defeating Tottenham, Targeting Juventus! Tang Long Gives Buffon a Like!

The city derby in Milan is certainly exciting, but its status in Italian football has never surpassed the clash between Inter Milan and Juventus.

The rivalry between these two teams has been entrenched over many years, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a deep-seated enmity.

Thinking about this, Bravo’s lips curl into a slight sympathetic smile, secretly musing in his heart: "Buffon, oh Buffon, you’re almost 40 years old, in the twilight of your career, yet you still have to be repeatedly tormented by this kid Tang. It’s truly a tarnish on your later years, how unfortunate for you."

After training, Tang Long returned home.

He casually tossed his training bag onto the sofa, plopped down, and picked up his phone from the coffee table, scrolling through social media.

As he slid across the screen, a familiar face caught his eye—the nine-grid photo posted by Juventus’ official account of Buffon intensely training on penalty shots.

In the photos, Buffon is dressed in training gear, his eyes focused on various save motions, with sweat soaking through his back.

Tang Long opened the images eagerly, eyes glued to the screen, closely observing each of Buffon’s motions, as if imprinting every detail into his mind.

After viewing the photos, he also opened Buffon’s past penalty saves video footage, carefully studying Buffon’s saving habits, timing of jumps, and body extension directions.

Tang Long integrated these actions and data into his AI training model, using swift calculations in his mind to identify potential flaws.

Then, almost mischievously, he allowed a slight smirk to appear and stealthily liked Buffon’s post.

Then he tossed his phone aside and walked into the AI Cloud Training Ground.

At this time, the Premier League schedule had entered a crucial phase, with only five matches remaining.

Manchester City was galloping ahead on the leaderboard, leading second-place Chelsea by a whole ten points.

Tang Long silently calculated in his heart, given Manchester City’s current form, they could likely secure the League Champion several rounds in advance by defeating Chelsea.

And the upcoming FA Cup semifinal against Tottenham was also filling him with anticipation.

He longed to help his team achieve two consecutive victories and seal the Premier League title three rounds early, boosting morale ahead of the Champions League semi-final against Juventus.

While Tang Long was fully immersed in the AI Cloud Training Ground, engaged in simulated match scenes, his like on Juventus’ official account created waves on social media, like a stone dropped in a calm lake.

Juventus’ intention with this nine-grid photo was to cheer Buffon on and declare to the world: "Our guardian Buffon fears no one’s penalty, including Tang Long’s. As long as Buffon’s in front of the goal, Juventus’ defense is an unbreakable iron fortress!"

But no one expected that Manchester City’s forward core Tang Long, who Juventus would soon face in the Champions League, gave a like to this post!

Moreover, after several hours, the like was still standing firm there, clearly intentional rather than accidental.

Social media platforms became lively all at once, with fans flocking to comment on Juventus’ post.

-[Did I see it wrong? Tang Long actually liked Juventus’ status???]

-[What does this mean? Is he complimenting Buffon on his penalty saves?]

-[Hahaha, can’t you tell? This clearly is a dig at Juventus and Buffon; it’s blatant provocation!]

-[Tang Long means to say that no matter how Buffon trains, he doesn’t care. Bring it on!]

-[Here’s my take: Tang Long says, "Little Bu comrades, practice hard, time waits for no one~"] This comment received the most likes, with many fans agreeing with this interpretation, thinking Tang Long was declaring war on Juventus in this manner.

-[No no no, I think Tang is implying that Manchester City better raise his salary, or he’ll join Juventus next season.]

-[Oh my gosh, Tang Long and Buffon as teammates, I can’t even imagine the sight!]

-[That’s just like Messi and Ramos being teammates, how improbable? Can only happen in games, haha!]

-[You know what, in my game, I put Messi, C Luo, and Tang Long in one team; Ballon d’Or top three forming a squad, what a blast to play!～]

Under the immense pressure of overwhelming comments and discussions, Juventus’ official account quietly deleted this post.

But the internet remembers; fans had quickly captured screenshots, sharing them frantically across forums and groups.

"Juventus must be scared, haha." "Deleting won’t work, everyone saw it," similar comments could be seen everywhere.

Meanwhile, Tang Long knew nothing about this.

He still immersed himself in the AI Cloud Training Ground, concentrating fully on simulated training, making thorough preparations for the upcoming crucial matches.

...

London, White Hart Lane.

Sunshine spilled onto the lush green field, shimmering with golden rays.

Today, Manchester City’s away challenge against Tottenham in the FA Cup semifinal kicks off here.

The stadium is filled to capacity, Tottenham fans clad in white jerseys forming a sea of white, waving flags and chanting slogans to cheer for their team.

Manchester City fans were equally unwilling to be upstaged, gathering in clusters of blue on the away stands, expressing their support through chants and songs.

The match was exceptionally intense, with Tottenham adopting a bunker formation, their dense defense frequently thwarting Manchester City’s attacks.

In the first half, Manchester City’s possession reached 70%, yet they couldn’t breach Tottenham’s defense.
