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

Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 Brunswick! Rising star strikes three times to break through defense!

Is Chinese-American rising star Lu Xiao still evolving? A detailed analysis of his tactical role.

Closely trailing by just 2 points! Could Bayer Leverkusen really be in contention for the title with Bayern Munich this season?

In the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Lu Xiao's hat-trick helped his team achieve a resounding victory.

His repeated long drives and continuous dribbling breakthroughs caused another sensation in German football, and even in European football!

Previously, everyone thought Lu Xiao was just a marksman who was good at creating opportunities.

Now it's clear he's heading straight for Messi and Ronaldo!

He has the aura of a future world-class superstar!

Messi and Ronaldo weren't this supermodel-like when they were 16!

According to a column in Bild:

"...For so many years, the debate over who is the third best in the world has continued, with Rooney, Aguero, Neymar, Ibrahimovic..."

No player has ever been able to be compared to Messi and Ronaldo.

We now seem to be witnessing the rapid growth of a player at the very top of the world.

In just half a season, he has transformed from a false 9 striker who initially struggled to break through into a complete striker who can dribble, pass, and pose a shooting threat!

We cannot yet predict what kind of star Lu Xiao will develop into.

But we know that if he continues to evolve in this way...

He might be able to rival Messi and Ronaldo within the next two years!

The third pole of world football is taking shape!

Logically, this commentary from Bild should have been met with ridicule from fans.

Who do you think you are, trying to piggyback on Messi and Ronaldo's fame?

Lewandowski, Götze, Robben, Neymar, Rooney, Van Persie...

These world-class stars don't dare to bluff. You haven't even played a full season, how can you bluff Messi and Ronaldo?

However, quite surprisingly

The comments section of this long article in Bild on Twitter was filled with praise!

"After watching yesterday's game, Lu definitely has a lot of potential!"

"His matches are fantastic! A Premier League fan says he's now a Lukaku fan!"

"If he doesn't hit the rookie wall next season, and even just maintains his current performance, he has a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with Messi and Ronaldo!"

"He's definitely a rising star with great potential; hopefully, he won't fade away as quickly as Pato..."

Lu Xiao's playing style is inherently flamboyant, with brilliant ball control and some amazing dribbling and shooting.

Now that he's learned to make long-distance runs and break through defenses, watching him play is a real treat.

Yesterday's match seemed to remind people of the season when Messi first rose to prominence.

He dribbled past five players to score, paying homage to Maradona.

Lu Xiao was able to dribble past 5 players and score, and he put on similar exaggerated performances more than once in a single match!

The only questionable aspect is that his recent opponents have all been mid-to-lower table Bundesliga teams, posing little challenge to Lu Xiao.

We can only wait and see how Lu Xiao performs against truly strong teams!

Soon they will face their toughest opponent of the season – Barcelona, ​​who were stopped in the Champions League quarterfinals!

According to predictions from the media and fans,

Leverkusen will most likely fall here.

The three giants of the Spanish Super League—Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid—are all incredibly dominant.

In the Bundesliga, only Bayern Munich can rival them.

Bayer Leverkusen?

Enough!

Even a week before the Champions League quarter-finals began, some Bayern Munich fans had already tweeted:

"Given that Barcelona could become Bayern Munich's opponent in the Champions League final,

Hopefully, Bayer Leverkusen can expose Barcelona's weaknesses.

Dortmund can expose Real Madrid's weaknesses.

Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund will also deserve credit for Bayern Munich's successful defense of their Champions League title.

According to comments on Twitter, this is the general sentiment among Bayern Munich fans.

The Champions League draw not only determined the opponents for each team, but also divided them into two halves of the bracket.

Upper half:

It just so happens that the three giants of the Spanish Super League are facing off against the three strong teams of the Bundesliga.

The theme of the 2013-2014 Champions League season also became a regional rivalry between La Liga and the Bundesliga!

Bayern Munich are confident of advancing from the top half of the bracket.

In the lower half of the bracket, both Dortmund and Leverkusen are slightly weaker.

Bayern Munich fans naturally took on all the responsibility for the Bundesliga.

This statement is theoretically sound.

He offended fans of both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen in one fell swoop.

"Why should we help you get items? Don't we have any hope of advancing?"

"Those Bayern guys are too arrogant!"

"You guys need to get past Atletico Madrid first!"

Unfortunately, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are indeed slightly weaker overall.

The fans' voices were somewhat weak and didn't cause much of a stir for the time being.

……

There are 4 days left until Barcelona's Champions League semi-final.

Bayer Leverkusen will play Augsburg in the 26th round of the Bundesliga this weekend.

Considering the tough Champions League match in four days,

The coaching staff has temporarily adopted a rotation system.

As a result, Leverkusen and Augsburg drew 1-1 at halftime...

The starting backcourt duo of Toprak and Spahic both have significant weaknesses.

Not to mention the substitutes, Wollscheid and Kakutalua, they're like a sieve!

Everything that was supposed to leak has leaked out!

If it weren't for the hard work of substitute midfielder Emre Can...

Leverkusen might lose to Augsburg today.

This is the predicament of small and medium-sized teams.

Occasionally, they can put together a fairly powerful lineup.

However, the bench depth is too weak, and the substitute lineup is simply unable to support the team's normal rotation.

With the team on the verge of dropping points and falling further behind Bayern Munich in the standings,

Sasha quickly dispatched Lu Xiao, Julian Brandt, and Son Heung-min!

He substituted three offensive players at once to save the team.

By the way, use the last 20 minutes to help the three players warm up so that they can be in better shape for the Champions League match in four days!

Considering Augsburg's 1-1 draw away from home, they plan to deploy a defensive strategy, hoping to secure a draw and take home a point.

The area within 30 meters of the backcourt is too crowded.

【Feng Le Hui】 has no space to break through with the ball, making it difficult to take advantage of his strengths.

[Nagi Seishiro] is still more threatening when he gets out of the penalty area and shoots from a tight spot.

Lu Xiao is not the kind of person who mindlessly uses a new character to death.

Since equipment slots can be changed every game,

Lu Xiao will adapt his tactics flexibly to the situation on both sides and the circumstances on the field.

As expected, after Lu Xiao entered the game, he frequently threatened the opponent's defense with his maxed-out ball control from [Nagi Seishiro].

And in the 87th minute of the match, Lu Xiao seized the opportunity!

"Son Heung-min... is surrounded. Augsburg's defense is very resolute, and Son Heung-min has no space to dribble."

"Try a cross to the edge of the penalty area!"

"Wow!! Lu—such a beautiful first touch!! Our familiar Lu Xiao!"

"Okay, create a shooting angle!"

With his back to the goal, Lu Xiao skillfully lifted the ball with his right foot using his maxed-out ball control.

He bypassed the opposing defender, turned around to face the goal, and unleashed a powerful volley!

boom--

The football, a blur, slammed into the goal!

"A last-minute winner!! Lukas' 33rd league goal!! His streak of scoring appearances continues!"

"2-1! Bayer Leverkusen secures the victory!"

"With Lu Xiao in this form, Barcelona is in danger!!"
