Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 690 482: Champions League Golden Boot Odds Released! Tang Long Outshines Messi!

"Task completed!"
"Successful nutmeg experiment!"
"New skill unlocked: Impact Nutmeg (Skill Level 60%)"
"Ball sense enhanced!"
"Dribbling 90—91!"
"Maradona ball sense 85%—86%!"
In the previous Champions League match against Celtic, Tang Long, in a narrow area near the corner flag, used the impact nutmeg technique to get past three players in a row, then delivered a brilliant assist, helping Ranocchia score into an empty net.
The reason Tang Long chose such a bizarre way to get past opponents in a flash was not without reason.
The golden dashed line that suddenly appeared, passing under the feet of Beaton, Tierney, and Kolo Toure, was precisely an important cue given by the AI system to Tang Long.
To improve his dribbling skills, Tang Long recently watched a large number of videos of top stars' dribbling moves, feeding them to the AI system.
He focused particularly on nutmeg moves.
This is because Tang Long found that among all dribbling methods, the nutmeg has a distinctive feature: it catches the opponent off guard, and once passed, opponents can't keep up with Tang Long's start.
After analyzing the data, the AI system constructed a model of continuous nutmeg moves and provided Tang Long with extensive training in the Cloud Training Ground.
However, transitioning from training to actual combat requires a practice process.
To test whether the skills acquired in training can be validated in actual combat, the AI system also issued a task to test this beta version.
In the end, Tang Long successfully completed the task, proving the feasibility of this technology in modern football.
From training to combat, and then the experience gained in combat feeds back into training.
The AI Green Pitch Engine system in Tang Long's brain is continuously being optimized and improved.
...
Tang Long's impressive performance in the Champions League has also caught the high alert of the Portuguese player C Luo.
After discussions with his agent Mendes and Real Madrid's head coach Zidane, C Luo has decided to shift most of his energy from the league and the King's Cup to the Champions League this season, constantly adding weight to his title as the King of the Champions League.
In the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund.
C Luo scored a hat-trick, single-handedly leading Real Madrid to a 3-2 away victory, conquering the strongest fortress—the frenzied Westfalen Stadium!
After the match, Dortmund's head coach Tuchel remarked to ers at the press conference, "We did not lose to Real Madrid, we just lost to C Luo alone."
This is very similar to Wenger's assessment of Tang Long!
Since Real Madrid's prestige in world football far surpasses Manchester City, and C Luo also enjoys higher exposure in European football than Tang Long, his hat-trick instantly catapulted him to the front page headlines, sweeping away the attention from Tang Long's nutmeg play.
"Unstoppable! Who can stop this Galaxy Battleship in European football?"
"Five goals in two matches! C Luo has almost locked in this season's Champions League Golden Boot in advance!"
"Zidane: The dedication he shows in the Champions League fills me with admiration"
"Back-to-back Champions League? Both Real Madrid and C Luo want to make history!"
The next morning during peak hours, many fans were listening to Dilata broadcast the Champions League morning news on the subway, buses, and in private cars.
"The bookmaker has released the latest odds for winning the Champions League, let's take a look at the rankings."
1. Real Madrid 1:2.8
2. Barça 1:3.5
3. Manchester City 1:5.0
4. Bayern 1:7.8
5. Atletico Madrid 1:8.5
"It seems that Real Madrid, Barça, Manchester City, Bayern, and Atletico Madrid are the five teams most likely to win the Champions League this season."
"As the most successful team in Champions League history, Real Madrid's odds of winning the title are naturally high."
"Barça was the champion the season before last, and with Messi still in great form this season, their chances of reigning over Europe are also substantial."
"As a strong team in the Premier League, Manchester City has performed well in the Champions League in recent years and even reached the semifinals that season."
"Manchester City's third-place position on this list is largely due to their leading forward Tang's strong performance, which has elevated the team's level to new heights," Dilata paused, then added, "Of course, the maestro of passing and possession, Guardiola's transformation of this team has been extremely successful. So far, they've maintained a winning streak in all matches!"
"Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich also has strong competitiveness in the Champions League. However, their coach from last season, Guardiola, has moved to Manchester City. Can Bayern, without Coach Guardiola, reach the Champions League final once again?"
"Ranking fifth is Atletico Madrid."
"There's no denying that in recent years, La Liga teams have shown strong competitiveness in the Champions League."
"Out of the top five teams, three are from La Liga, one is from the Premier League, and one is from the Bundesliga, with no teams from Serie A or Ligue 1 making the cut."
Hearing this, those UK listeners on the broadcast appeared stern and nodded frequently.
In the past ten seasons, La Liga teams have won the Champions League five times, accounting for half.
Barça has won three times, Real Madrid twice.
Especially in the last three seasons, the Champions League has been exclusively claimed by Real Madrid and Barça!
The last time a Premier League team won the Champions League was Chelsea in 2012.
After taking charge of Chelsea, Conte has already stated to the media that the Blue Army will focus on the domestic league this season, aiming to reclaim the Premier League title;
Plus, Conte is known to excel in the league but not in the Champions League, so no one has high hopes for Chelsea in the Champions League.
Even though four Premier League teams can participate in the Champions League this season, it seems that the entire country's only hope rests on Manchester City!
"Let's take another look at the latest odds for the Champions League Golden Boot!"
1. C Luo 1:1.8
2. Tang Long 1:3.5
3. Messi 1:3.9
4. Lewandowski 1:5.5
5. Griezmann 1:10
"Last season, C Luo scored 16 goals in the Champions League, achieving the second-best personal goal count in a Champions League season, second only to his astounding record of 17 goals in the 2013-14 season."
"And with only two group stage matches played this season, C Luo has already scored 5 goals. Looking at it now, the only one who can break the single-season record of 17 goals is C Luo himself. Let's hope he can surpass himself."
"Messi ranks third, with his single-season Champions League record being 14 goals in the 2011-2012 season."
"Messi has always been Barça's most reliable scoring point, though last season he only scored 6 goals in the Champions League. However, many still believe Messi can win the European Golden Boot."
Deliberately finishing with Messi, ranked third, Dilata then mentioned Tang Long's name.
"Manchester City's Tang beats Messi to rank second, just behind Real Madrid's C Luo!"
"Listeners surely remember that in his first career Champions League season, Tang astonished everyone!"
"The most exhilarating performance was when he scored a hat-trick against his former club Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium!"
"Throughout the season, he scored 11 goals in the Champions League, 5 more than Messi!"
"After experiencing the Champions League for the first time, Tang must have gained considerable experience. This season, the Chinese player will compete with the Portuguese for the Champions League Golden Boot!"
