Football: My AI System Provides Max-Level Predictions-Chapter 661 - 458 Ronaldo is anxious: Don’t move, I’ll fly back from São Paulo to find you immediately!
The Golden Porcupine Award is a satirical and humorous award created by Italy’s national television, primarily awarded to the unluckiest and most unfortunate personalities.
The Milan Sports News once commented: "Every celebrity wants more trophies—except the Golden Porcupine Award."
In the early days of the Golden Porcupine Award, the trophy was meant to mock some disgraceful events or performances of sports figures; eventually, it became a joke, not just satirical, but becoming a form of black humor.
Icardi has played for years in Serie A and is well familiar with this award.
Once upon a time, when seeing Totti, Cassano, and Eevee receive this award, Icardi would laugh with people around him, mocking those unlucky folks~
But Icardi never imagined, that one day, he too would be targeted by Italy’s national television!
The host cheerfully knocked on Icardi’s car window.
"Dear Mauro, you wouldn’t believe the effort we had to put in yesterday, to airlift this Golden Porcupine from Italy to Manchester. Come out quickly and receive your award!"
Icardi had never seen such a large Golden Porcupine before.
Previously, the Golden Porcupine was always small, held in hand to be awarded to unlucky players, why was it that when it was his turn it suddenly became a giant object?
His mind was in a daze, absent-mindedly opened the car door, and was pulled in front of the camera by the host for an interview.
"Mauro, two seasons ago you were the Serie A Golden Boot breaking historical scoring records, last season you were the top scorer at Manchester United, how come you can’t even make the starting lineup now? Please share your thoughts!"
Icardi has a habitual physiological reaction when he’s particularly angry and nervous, he speaks stutteringly.
Previously when confronting De Bruyne in the Carrington Training Base bathroom regarding his wife Wanda, it was like this.
So, the host patiently asked him several questions, and Icardi could only reply off-topic, his face turning beet red, steam rising from his head, looking like he was about to explode.
Nearby, the Manchester United fans who had been waiting at the door for autographs saw a huge golden monstrosity suddenly appear on Icardi’s side, and curiously gathered around.
All of a sudden, dozens of people surrounded the Golden Porcupine Award. They curiously looked at the group, and some took out their phones to record.
The flash went off several times, Icardi’s mind jolted, suddenly becoming alert.
"That’s bullshit, what gives you the right to award me this!"
Icardi angrily pushed the host aside with both hands and turned to walk back to his car, but after taking a few steps he was again stopped by the host.
"Mauro, for the sake of us coming all the way to Manchester, please accept this award, and take it home to place in your yard!"
"Rest assured, we can deliver it to your door! The Golden Porcupine Award is free shipping, no delivery fee."
What? Place it in my yard?
Icardi’s lungs almost exploded with rage.
He turned and jumped onto the truck, raised his fist, and punched the belly of the gigantic Golden Porcupine.
Bang!
Icardi punched a large hole in the Golden Porcupine’s belly, but simultaneously his hand was hurt badly, letting out a scream.
Everyone was astonished as Icardi jumped off the truck like a clown, got into his car, and sped off in an instant.
To avoid the pursuit of Italy’s national television, he intentionally made detours along the way;
The originally half-hour journey was stretched to an hour and a half, before he quietly returned home.
However, as soon as his car drove into the yard, he almost fainted~
The Golden Porcupine, with a hole punched in its belly, taped up, quietly stood in his own yard.
Its ugly shape and ridiculous long nose pointed directly at him, as if mocking him: "Mauro, you can’t escape!"
His wife Wanda wasn’t home, possibly off somewhere fooling around again, the nanny came out with Icardi’s children.
"Mauro, this strange little animal, delivered half an hour ago by a truck that said it was specially ordered from Italy by you, and they specifically instructed me you wanted it placed in the yard, so I let them in."
"I asked how much for delivery? They said it was free, delivered to the doorstep."
The children ran over cheerfully, encircling the large Golden Porcupine, clapping and cheering.
"Daddy bought such a nice toy, it’s so cute!"
Icardi’s eyes darkened, stumbling and falling to the ground;
Getting up, he shouted loudly, under the frightened gaze of the nanny and children, grabbed a clothes rack from the ground and started beating the Golden Porcupine wildly.
"For giving me this award, for giving me this award, I won’t stop until you’re destroyed, I won’t stop until you’re destroyed..."
...
Far away in Italy, thousands of kilometers away, Italy’s national television special airlifted a gigantic Golden Porcupine to Manchester to award Icardi, making everyone laugh at him.
England’s media, all enjoying a good spectacle, heavily covered this event.
They even interviewed the host from Italy’s national television.
The story of Icardi running and the Golden Porcupine chasing was vividly reported at length, giving the British people something to laugh about over their newspapers during leisure.
"Icardi is no longer playing in Italy, why did you go all the way to award him the Golden Porcupine?"
"Because this is an innovative move from Italy’s national television, we decided to make our award international, just like the Golden Ball Award!"
Meanwhile.
Tang Long’s overhead kick goal also became a focal topic!
Countless English TV stations replayed this video, inviting Premier League legends like Alan Shearer, Henry, and Owen to comment on Tang Long’s goal.
Without exception, everyone gave high praise to Tang Long’s overhead kick within the penalty area!
Alan Shearer said, "In the 2010/11 season, the 27th round of the Premier League Manchester Derby, Rooney also scored an extraordinary overhead kick, helping the team defeat Manchester City 2-1, the moment Tang scored, I recalled Rooney’s goal, these two overhead kicks are equally brilliant!"
Henry said, "To be honest, I believe Tang’s overhead kick, in terms of importance, might not be as important as Rooney’s goal in the derby match, but regardless of the brilliance or difficulty of the overhead kick, Tang’s is superior to Rooney!"
Owen echoed, "Indeed, with this goal, Tang fully displayed his body’s coordination, and the key was how precisely he hit the ball when his body was flying so high in the air, it’s truly unbelievable, even at my peak, I could hardly perform such a high difficulty move like Tang at that position."
Henry lamented, "In this match, Tang Long slowed down his goal-scoring pace, but in three rounds, he has scored seven goals, still ranking first in the Premier League scorers list, and the player with the most goals in the five major leagues, as a forward, I have a little personal wish."
Alan Shearer and Owen asked, "What wish?"
Henry laughed, "I not only hope Tang can score more tap-ins, but I also hope to see more of such high difficulty overhead kicks, I just want to investigate deeply, on this young Chinese man, what tremendous energy can be shown to us? I think now, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg!"
On the Monday World Football program, in the Top Ten Goals segment.
Bonazzoli’s bicycle kick goal, was ranked second;
While Tang Long’s overhead kick, no doubt, ranked first!
"This not only is the only overhead kick in the five major leagues this round, but it’s also Tang Long’s first career goal accomplished with such a high difficulty action!"
"Owen, Alan Shearer and Henry, all expressed high praise for this goal!"
"Henry said he hopes to see more high difficulty goals from Tang Long, and every fan also hopes to see Tang Long’s goals on the weekly Top Ten Goals segment broadcasted!"
That night.
Tang Long returned from the AI Cloud Training Ground, feeling refreshed and ready to go to bed.
The phone rang suddenly!
It’s agent Ronaldo!
"Tang, stay where you are, I just boarded a flight from São Paulo to Manchester! Remember, don’t trust the nonsense from Mendes and Raiola, those two big liars, this situation is too complicated, you won’t be able to handle it!"
