The Artificial Striker: Hacking Football
They say to be the best you need passion, blood, sweat, and tears. Xia Qi just needs a button.
In the golden era of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, a third name rises from obscurity to break their duopoly. While the world praises his "tactical coldness" and "calm under pressure," the truth is far more absurd: the moment he steps onto the pitch, Xia Qi activates "Auto-Mode" and lets an AI take the wheel.
He isn't a stoic genius; he's just a passenger in his own body.
Arsene Wenger finds in him the final piece for an invincible Arsenal. Sir Alex Ferguson curses missing out on him. Florentino Pérez is already preparing the checkbook.
This is the story of how a Chinese teenager and his "autopilot" rewrote football history, brought glory back to England, and turned a two-man rivalry into a three-way war.
