Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

Chapter 11 Are Chinese Youths Really Unable to Establish Themselves in Europe?

Thousands of miles away, on the other side of the ocean.

In the capital of a certain major Eastern country, within the Second Ring Road, at the intersection of Donghuashi Street and Nanhuashi Street.

The headquarters of Titan Sports Weekly is located in the office building of Titan Media Group Co., Ltd.

Editor Xiao Liu, who wears glasses, is pleading desperately in the editor-in-chief's office.

"Boss, this news is really important. We need to post it not only on Weibo, but also on the front page of overseas football sections of newspapers and on WeChat official accounts. We need to let more people know..."

"Alright, alright."

A bespectacled man in his forties raised his hand to stop the hot-tempered young editor, Xiao Liu.

"Do you think it's reliable for players to play abroad?"

"Forehead……"

Xiao Liu was speechless for a moment.

Since the golden generation of the Chinese national football team, a number of key players, including Sun Jihai, Tiezi, Fan Zhiyi, and Zheng Zhi, have retired.

The Chinese national football team's overseas players seem to have become a complete joke.

Whether it was Dong, the "King of Manchester United," or Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin, these players' overseas careers all ended in failure.

Every time they raise expectations among domestic fans, it ends in utter chaos and despair.

The story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is widely known.

Having been deceived so many times, the fans' enthusiasm has long been exhausted.

Later, when I saw stories about young players going abroad or European teams signing Chinese players... it was all nonsense!

How could we possibly let these people play in the competition?

Even if they join the first team to play,

Can he play as a starter?

I can't fight, I don't have the ability!

What's the point of reporting this kind of news? It only disappoints fans and doesn't bring any positive emotions.

Even if it brings criticism, it's fine; criticism means it's trending.

Nowadays, no one criticizes similar news anymore, so why bother publishing it?

Do newspaper layouts, WeChat official account resources, and Weibo posts all come without cost?

"Xiao Liu, I advise you to be more realistic and first understand the basic concepts of journalism."

"Why are you reporting on Chinese players when you could be covering all those big news stories: Götze's defection, David Moyes succeeding Ferguson, Arsenal buying Özil, Real Madrid spending €1 million on Bale?"

The editor-in-chief's words may be harsh, but they make the right point.

Xiao Liu was well aware that he should do his basic job well and let domestic fans enjoy the European transfers.

The players playing abroad are not important at all.

Moreover, they are not Chinese citizens; they are Belgians, so nobody pays any attention to them.

"I... okay, I'll do my job covering European transfers."

"That's right. Go ahead and do your in-depth analysis, differentiate yourself from other media, and offer more of your own understanding and predictions."

"receive."

As Xiao Liu left dejectedly, the flame of anger in his heart still hadn't been extinguished.

Lu Xiao, who is far away in Europe, is still our compatriot after all!

Descendants of Yan and Huang, with black hair and yellow skin!

His solo career in the Bundesliga, and his signing with Bayer Leverkusen's first team at the age of 16, was already quite unusual.

Xiao Liu's intuition told him that Lu Xiao was definitely not that simple!

When Yao Ming played for the Houston Rockets, he directly led the trend of watching the NBA in China.

How many people started playing the NBA during Yao Ming's era? How many people consider the Rockets their favorite team?

At the end of last year, Jeremy Lin had a mini-surge with the Knicks, averaging a double-double, which once again ignited domestic public opinion.

Many viewers who had given up on the NBA or had never watched a game before turned on their TVs to watch it again.

Jeremy Lin is a pure American stripe, but that doesn't stop him from becoming a sensation in China and receiving a huge following among fans.

Lu Xiao's experience overseas is somewhat similar to Jeremy Lin's.

Assume!

Lu Xiao really delivered a brilliant performance, proving himself on the Bundesliga stage.

He doesn't need to become a football god or play the role of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

He just needs to score a few goals to secure regular playing time and give the fans something to look forward to...

He could absolutely become a new generation of football star!

Just like Shinji Kagawa from the neighboring island nation, and the rising star Son Heung-min.

The unwillingness in his heart, and the faint spark of hope for domestic football, made it impossible for editor Xiao Liu to completely give up this opportunity.

"Editor-in-chief, at least let me post one Weibo message, right? That's not too much to ask, is it?"

"Sigh...you really are something else, fine, fine, here you go!"

"Editor-in-chief, you're so kind!!"

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up again, and he happily went back to his workstation to edit his Weibo post, completely ignoring the fact that it was already 21:35 PM.

If I insist on writing this Weibo post, I might miss the last train on Metro Line 6, which would prevent me from taking the subway back to my rented apartment in Tongzhou.

but!

Xiao Liu doesn't care, as long as more people notice Lu Xiao and pay attention to this 16-year-old who is struggling alone overseas, that's enough.

With his utmost enthusiasm, he wrote a Weibo post that was destined to be seen by very few people:

[Sports Weekly - Weibo News Flash] #BundesligaRisingStar# 16-year-old Belgian-Chinese prodigy Lu Xiao has emerged! According to official news from Bayer Leverkusen, this former Bayern Munich youth academy player has officially signed with the Leverkusen first team, becoming the youngest player ever signed by the club. In yesterday's friendly match against Freiburg, Lu Xiao came on as a substitute in the 68th minute and immediately performed a miraculous solo run – dribbling past three players, executing a rainbow flick, and unleashing a powerful volley to score, helping his team secure a 3-2 victory!

It is reported that Lu Xiao's signing was personally handled by the team of football mogul Jorge Mendes, and the contract includes a clause that triggers a salary increase based on the number of appearances. His silky ball control and calm handling have won over the coaching staff, earning him the title of "Oriental Ronaldinho." The Sports Weekly's European correspondent will continue to follow this rising star! #BelgianChineseGenius #BayerLeverkusenProdigy

"well……"

Xiao Liu gazed out the window at the night view and sighed softly.

"When will we finally get through this?"

……

2013 was not a big year for football; there were no exciting football matches.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating the transfer window juicy gossip.

Finally, the Bundesliga is back in action!

Among the major European leagues, the Bundesliga started the season the earliest.

The others mostly started operating at the end of August.

The Bundesliga season kicked off on August 10th.

The most excited were, of course, Bayern Munich fans.

They have just achieved the treble: last season's league title, German Cup title, and Champions League title!

In the UEFA Super Cup, Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea 2-2 and won the penalty shootout to lift the trophy and achieve the glory of a quadruple!

The only downside is the German Super Cup.

Bayern Munich lost 2-4 to Borussia Dortmund.

The six-time champion was still one title short of achieving his ultimate goal.

but!

Bayern fans aren't worried, because the new season's manager is Guardiola!

The first person to win six championships!

Under his leadership, Bayern Munich, already a glorious team, will surely achieve a double championship!

The Bayern dynasty is complete!

In their opening match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern Munich easily defeated their opponents 3-1, securing a winning start!

Guardiola's Bayern Munich has set sail!

At this very moment, Bayer Leverkusen is playing at home.

Compared to the aura of Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen appears much more low-key.

They haven't made many signings recently; the only signing announced on their official website is the addition of 16-year-old Lu Xiao.

This summer, Bayer Leverkusen completed the transfer as early as June.

Son Heung-min joins Hamburg for €1000 million;

Bayern Munich signed 19-year-old Emre Can for €530 million;

Signed fringe center forward Robin Kruse from Hoffenheim for €150 million;

16-year-old Lu Xiao signed for free;

Gone.

Bayer Leverkusen did manage to sell their key attacking player, Schürrle, for 2200 million...

These actions have led Bayer Leverkusen fans to be less optimistic about the team's performance in the new season.

The opening match of the first round: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Freiburg

Lu Xiao was not on the roster, and the team eventually managed a narrow 2-1 victory over Freiburg, starting their Bundesliga campaign.

I thought it would be difficult to get a chance to play.

However, in the second round of the Bundesliga, in the away game between Stuttgart and Leverkusen,

Lu Xiao was surprised to see his name on the roster!

"So fast? Have you already made it through the tough times?!"

The boy's heart began to pound with anxiety!
