What’s your government doing? Just leeching off me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Toure really wanted to block all these people’s calls, and just live freely with his wife and kids in the United Kingdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to various reasons that were hard to explain, this thought could only remain a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who made him born in Africa, born in Côte d’Ivoire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Toure left the children with his wife and retreated alone into the study, turning on the computer to meticulously study Tang Long’s performance in the last match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tang Long consistently played as a forward or attacking midfielder, Toure wouldn’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he performed well in the defensive midfield position, Toure didn’t know if Pellegrini would permanently fix him there, so better plan ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toure had to seriously study his competitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the full 90-minute match video and watched carefully, slowing down every clip involving Tang Long for analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Toure watched, the more shocked he became; the more he watched, the more his heart raced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the video review, he noted many unique aspects of Tang Long he hadn’t noticed during the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the sense of anticipating space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toure noticed that Tang Long’s anticipation of space was very precise, and his movements always allowed him to occupy advantageous positions first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, in the 12th minute of the first half, when Toure had the ball, two of the opponents’ midfield powerhouses immediately came to pressurize him.\u003C\u002Fp>",912,"2026-06-03T07:47:26.046Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1ab089a52aff76b953696de750cb00b79ea7ad80a78a7fa8216626177416a17","football-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-chapter-397","football-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-chapter-401",909,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-cover.jpg"]
