Manchester City’s fans hadn’t seen such a scene in many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, another red card? Now it’s good, the opponents have only 9 players left!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Juventus never learns, one Marchisio wasn’t enough, now there’s a Chiellini, what a joke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always said, when they were already one player down, and Allegri still sends off a forward, isn’t that courting disaster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, Juventus brought this on themselves, not our fault, hahaha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next game, their two key players will be suspended, Juventus is losing out both ways. What was the point?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiellini looked up at the referee holding the bright red card towards him, as if he were looking at a judge announcing a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his mind was somewhat in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Italian defender remembered clearly, he had definitely already stopped completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was standing still, he was at least 50 centimeters away from Sterling, it couldn’t be possible to hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been playing in Italy for ten, twenty years, still a national team main player, how could I make such a basic mistake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiellini wanted to complain about Sterling’s dive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, he also felt it clearly, the moment Sterling fell, he indeed heavily collided with him, knocking him down from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was really strange!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly when standing still, Sterling’s back was at least an arm’s length away from him, yet he indeed collided with Sterling forcefully, knocking him over—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So where exactly did he hit Sterling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Sterling, with his shapely butt bouncing, ran to celebrate with Tang Long that Chiellini finally understood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh God, I knew when I hit him it felt bouncy, turns out I hit the kid’s butt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sterling’s somewhat misshapen, camel hump-like protruding butt curve;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiellini desperately covered his face with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stopped, his gaze was level, he hadn’t even noticed Sterling’s protruding butt, so his knee crashed right into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Long was once again standing in front of the penalty spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fourth time in his career facing the Italian goalkeeper Buffon at the 12-yard mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inter Milan twice, Manchester City twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first two occasions, Tang Long used two Panenka penalty kicks to toy with Buffon, humiliating the goalkeeper skilled at saving penalties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third time was in the first round of their Champions League group stage match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Tang Long used a very unconventional planted foot shooting method, completely bewildering Buffon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, not just in the United Kingdom, but in Italy, numerous media outlets were using mocking words towards this 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper, saying he was old and useless, and a 19-year-old player could continuously toy with him three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Buffon drew strength from knowing shame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately in training, he often pulled the team’s penalty experts for penalty training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his save success rate was extremely high, much to the amazement of Juventus’s assistant coach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon knew, if Manchester City got a penalty, and he couldn’t save it, he really couldn’t face people, might as well retire at the end of the season!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s a Panenka, planted foot strike, deceiving eyes, half-jump step, sudden slowdown at the last step, various penalty techniques, Buffon practiced with Pogba, Morata, Mandzukic and others no less than hundreds of times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon also watched on video sites, various tricks used by excellent penalty takers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of dedicated research is to completely shut down Tang Long’s penalty shots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the thoroughly prepared Buffon stood confidently on the goal line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Buffon decided to take the initiative!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately stood on the left side of the goal and pointed to the right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I know you’ll definitely go right, because the space on the right is larger, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Long smiled at him, made a diving motion with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to kick another Panenka, a Panenka hat trick, because you love Panenka, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect Tang Long to reveal his plan before taking the penalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon thought, if Tang Long really kicks a Panenka, should he move or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s really a Panenka, I should just stand still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he thought, no no no, don’t believe him, he’s trying to distract me, what am I thinking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon jumped on the goal line, waving his hands, his height over 1.9 meters allowed him to touch the crossbar with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his body language to distract Tang Long’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, kid, stop dawdling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the main referee blew the whistle, Tang Long slowly ran up towards the ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the run-up, Tang Long started with four short quick steps;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly increased his speed, at the moment of contacting the ball, added a small jump~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon was delighted~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trick was long in my preparation notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Buffon’s judgment, Tang Long’s little jump is to make you move first, to save first;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best way is to stand still and make a judgment after he kicks the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon knew that players using a small jump to strike the ball wouldn’t have much power in the final step, as they lost the inertia of the run-up;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he can get down quickly, he can definitely save their ball, and at this time, it’s very likely to be a ground ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, with the last step of the small jump run-up, Tang Long’s foot was very slow, and the ball he kicked, its rolling speed was also slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I’ve seen through you, kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon’s eyes were like an eagle’s, closely watching the direction of the rolling ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left or right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next scene shocked Buffon greatly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the ball was slow, but it was too slow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Long’s touch was soft and lacked power, he almost just brushed the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball wobbled and rolled to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this kicking power, forget about saving, even if he stands still, the ball would likely stop before reaching the goal due to the friction of the grass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Juventus defenders outside the penalty area were also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of kick was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, someone reacted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, Tang must have made a mistake, intended to use the small jump to fool Buffon, but didn’t control the final step’s rhythm properly, so the ball was soft and weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time you are finally embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it comes!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a loud shout startled everyone’s hearts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see Cote d’Ivoire forward Bony, like an African cheetah suddenly leap into the penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the moment Tang Long touched the ball, Bony started moving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the ball slowly rolling to his left, Bony, with no one around him, controlled the ball, even had the chance to lead it forward a step, then steadily rolled it into the corner of the goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did Buffon on the goal line suddenly realize!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Long did it on purpose, this seemingly weak shot wasn’t a shot but an assist for Bony!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buffon’s mind suddenly thundered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never thought Tang would do this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I overlooked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a complex design, clearly prepared in advance, purposely to toy with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, why!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Tang trick me again, why does he keep targeting me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unprecedented sense of shame surged over Buffon’s heart like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely broken...\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-03T07:47:26.046Z",1,"novelbin.me","351f9cc02c16f7ceb6207f51906cb6f25d0e7f14bebc6e97e903e3c9c2875354","football-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-chapter-495","football-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-chapter-493",909,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-my-ai-system-provides-max-level-predict-cover.jpg"]
