Thanks to Lu Xiao's only goal of the match,

Bayer Leverkusen narrowly defeated Schalke 04 1-0, continuing to trail Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings.

On the real-time leaderboard, the gap has narrowed to just one point.

This is definitely the episode that Bayern Munich fans fear the most.

In recent years, no other team besides Borussia Dortmund has put them under such pressure!

With Dortmund's form declining, has another Bayer Leverkusen emerged?

What a fuss!

The only good news is that Bayern Munich's opponent is Freiburg, who are near the relegation zone.

Guardiola's team continued their strong performance, with outstanding plays from Mario Götze, Robben, and Thomas Müller.

Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 4-0, maintaining their four-point lead in the standings.

However, in the next round, Bayern Munich's opponent is Hannover 96, and they can easily take points.

Bayer Leverkusen are about to head to the Volkswagen Arena to challenge their formidable rivals, Wolfsburg!

This Bundesliga match in Round 22 was essentially a preview of the German Cup semi-final!

Recently, as Kevin De Bruyne has gradually adapted to Wolfsburg, he has gone unbeaten in his last 6 matches with 5 wins and 1 draw!

With points second only to Borussia Dortmund, they are about to catch up with Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich!

Wolfsburg, with De Bruyne in top form, is very strong!

Since being overturned by Lu Xiao last time, Kevin De Bruyne has been waiting for this day to come.

……

"Hey! Kevin!"

"Lu, I watched your game against Arsenal, it was fantastic. Are you confident about next week?"

"Of course, we can definitely reach the Champions League quarterfinals."

"very nice……"

Kevin De Bruyne was incredibly envious.

Lu Xiao has to play in the Champions League knockout stage, so he can only play in the Europa League with Wolfsburg.

Although he sent a text message saying he wanted revenge, De Bruyne and Lu Xiao have actually always had a good relationship.

During his time with the Belgian national team, Lu Xiao, 16, was also greatly helped by De Bruyne to quickly adapt to the national team.

Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in a club full of foreigners.

Wolfsburg vs. Leverkusen pre-match

De Bruyne and Lu Xiao chatted for a long time in the players' tunnel.

With his match approaching, De Bruyne's expression quickly turned serious.

"I said I would take revenge, and this time I'm going to go all out."

"Didn't you give it your all last time?"

"..."

De Bruyne was speechless, unable to win against Lu Xiao every time.

There's no other way for De Bruyne but to deal with him on the pitch!

From the start of the match, De Bruyne was very active, frequently using his superb passing skills to create threats to the Leverkusen defense.

Especially Leverkusen's two defenders, Toprak and Spahic, are slow to turn.

De Bruyne capitalized on this, launching numerous deadly through balls!

"An attack from Wolfsburg... to the right flank, Kevin De Bruyne!"

"Although he's a right winger, he's actually an attacking midfielder, deeply involved in organizing and orchestrating the attack...like this play!!! It was full of imagination!"

Commentator Behrenberg was stunned.

He watched helplessly as De Bruyne unleashed a mesmerizing curling shot that bypassed two defenders and headed straight for the far post.

Grafite made a low shot, which was blocked by goalkeeper Leno's outstretched leg.

Since playing against Manchester United's David de Gea, Leno has learned this trick, and it's worked well.

"Holy crap?"

Even Lu Xiao couldn't help but admire De Bruyne's performance.

This guy!

It's almost at its complete form!

In the past, Lu Xiao wouldn't have been worried at all.

With the support of the rage value system, as long as you accumulate 100% rage and unleash a burst of energy, you can reliably score at least one goal.

However, the system is still undergoing upgrades recently.

When Lu Xiao opened the interface at this moment, the same words were still displayed.

[System upgrade in progress... Please wait]

Three days after three days, three days after three days...

Since the last match against Arsenal, my [Fusion Value] has reached 100%, and I've been waiting for almost 9 days! Go for it!

The critical system remained as mysterious as ever, with no interaction whatsoever except for key information.

Even something like the systems in other novels, where you can communicate with the protagonist?

Lu Xiao is completely unreliable.

If you don't check it often, the system is as if it doesn't exist.

Who knows how long this upgrade will take?

With no other option, Lu Xiao could only rely on his three current skills and his recent intensive training to try and find an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The prerequisite is that De Bruyne doesn't have a meltdown and Wolfsburg doesn't score.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiao has always had bad luck.

They were drawn into a tough group in the Champions League group stage, a group that could be described as a "group of death".

Bayer Leverkusen topped their group and were drawn against Arsenal, the strongest team among a group of weaker second-placed teams.

This time, with his mind focused on not conceding a goal, De Bruyne once again unleashed his peak form.

During the attack on the right, he suddenly cut inside and delivered a deadly through ball with the back of his right foot!

"Kevin De Bruyne!!! A masterful pass!!"

"Grapit!"

Brazilian striker Grafite, and Karami, who never even got a chance to play for the Brazilian national team.

He was at least the Bundesliga Golden Boot winner in the 2008-2009 season!

Wolfsburg's top scorer!

Facing the pie that De Bruyne was practically feeding him,

There's no reason why Graffit wouldn't eat it!

"Gooooooal!! Grafit!!"

"Listen to the cheers from the Volkswagen Arena!! Grafite scores first! 1-0 lead over Leverkusen!"

Wolfsburg fans were so excited they were almost in tears.

Before the match, everyone knew that Leverkusen was very strong and in great form recently, possibly the second strongest team in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich.

The fans couldn't believe they were actually leading Bayer Leverkusen.

The other Wolfsburg players were celebrating.

Despite making several key passes and becoming the soul of Wolfsburg, De Bruyne couldn't muster any excitement at this moment.

He felt that a 1-0 scoreline was far from secure.

Because that guy is on the other side!

His greatest skill is turning the tide!

Arsenal can be overturned even when they're up 2-0, they need to score more goals!

After scoring, Wolfsburg's pressure did not stop; instead, taking advantage of their home ground, they continued to besiege Leverkusen.

This forced Leverkusen to set up a tight defensive formation, maintaining a strong defense within a 30-meter zone.

As the game progressed, De Bruyne habitually paid attention to Lu Xiao's position; he was definitely Wolfsburg's most feared target.

As a result, Lu Xiao kept roaming between the two forwards.

This made De Bruyne wary.

"Should we take a break for now?"

During a dead ball situation, De Bruyne wanted to consult with his teammates.

However, Wolfsburg's captain is goalkeeper Diego Benaglio.

Talking to the goalkeeper won't help!

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should remind midfielder Gustavo.

Bayer Leverkusen launched a landmark counter-attack!

Toprak headed the ball away from the backfield, passing it to Lars Bender.

Lars Bender immediately passed the ball diagonally to Son Heung-min!

Son Heung-min dribbles the ball and launches an attack, about to cross the center line.

Wolfsburg were on edge, with four players closing in on Son Heung-min!

"Son!! Danger!! Wolfsburg reacted quickly, focusing their attention on Son Heung-min!!"

Wolfsburg head coach Dieter Hecking is well aware that although Lu Xiao is the core of the attacking line...

But Son Heung-min's wing play is the engine of the counterattack!

Blocking Son Heung-min would effectively limit Lu Xiao's threat!

But Dieter Hacking still underestimated this 16-year-old prodigy!

When Son Heung-min was surrounded by the opposing team, he initially wanted to turn around and pass the ball back to secure possession first.

But then they discovered that as Lu Xiao charged forward, he raised his hand and asked for permission!

During their daily extra practice sessions, the two had tried a particular combination, but it's unlikely to be successful in an official match.

Son Heung-min hadn't thought of that.

Who knew Lu Xiao would be so bold?!

Damn it, whatever!

Just when they were about to be surrounded, Son Heung-min suddenly launched a long pass!

The football unexpectedly flew quickly forward, slipping between Wolfsburg's two center-backs!

Stop him!!!

De Bruyne panicked!

Even if Lu Xiao is the only supporting player in the attacking third, he is surrounded by two center-backs and theoretically poses no threat.

But De Bruyne's heart still skipped a beat.

"Son's pass!! The connection between the two East Asian stars!!"

"Lu Xiao—"

To the commentator's astonishment, Lu Xiao jumped ahead of time and made an incredible save in mid-air!

Wolfsburg defenders originally intended to wait until he landed before closing in to physically interfere with Lu Xiao and disrupt his possession of the ball.

Unexpectedly, the next second,

After Lu Xiao controlled the ball in the air with his left foot,

He actually used his terrifying ability to hang in the air to volley a shot with his right foot before landing!

[Hardcore Shot: Difficulty level 98, shooting success rate 98%]

Amidst the stunned silence of the entire audience,

Lu Xiao executed a stunning volley shot with a perfect "scissor kick" motion in mid-air!

The football streaked across the sky above the penalty area like a shooting star!

Dive into a blind spot!

The entire audience froze!

Kevin De Bruyne, in particular, experienced his worst fears.

No matter how hard he tried to improve, he felt that his evolution speed was far slower than Lu Xiao's.

Based on this one goal alone, De Bruyne could tell...

Lu Xiao's level and potential have long surpassed his.

This kid is a terrifying talent who could surpass Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Zidane, Ronaldinho, and other world-class superstars in the future!
