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

Trailing 1-2,

After halftime adjustments

Leverkusen regrouped and planned to score another goal to equalize the score.

However, Real Madrid didn't give them many opportunities.

The original timeline's Champions League final: Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid also started with a 1-0 lead.

They were on the verge of winning the Champions League title.

Ramos' header equalizer boosted Real Madrid's morale, and they then scored three more goals in extra time to end the match.

Even Atletico Madrid's world-class defense struggled to withstand Real Madrid's attacks.

Moreover, what about Leverkusen's second-rate defensive line?

"Modric, beautiful!! A brilliant control of the ball, a skillful dribble forward, Real Madrid has a chance!"

"Give it to Di Maria..."

"Great ball! Di Maria controls the ball and moves to the top of the arc."

"Ouch! This ball!"

Di Maria's imaginative lobbed pass failed to connect with Gareth Bale, otherwise the ball would certainly have been conceded.

But Real Madrid made a comeback, and it was still under their control.

Leverkusen's defense was stretched thin, and Lu Xiao couldn't even touch the ball, let alone launch any attacks.

"Khedira, go straight for Ronaldo who's retreating..."

"Cristiano Ronaldo passes across to Di Maria, who is making a forward run!!"

"DiMaria turned around but couldn't get past him; Rolfes and Lars Bender were both watching him!"

"But who will mark Modric?"

Real Madrid's attack was thwarted as several key attacking players were contained by Leverkusen with great effort.

Modric's forward run instantly broke the balance in the attacking third!

He dribbled the ball in one step and charged into the penalty area!

"Modric!! Why don't you try kicking him yourself?"

"A powerful shot!!"

"Goal again!"

Zhan Junren was almost numb.

Looking at the scoreboard, 4-1, people finally realized just how strong Real Madrid's overall squad was.

Previously, Ronaldo watched from afar as Lu Xiao celebrated with a knee slide.

Now it was Lu Xiao's turn to stand still, watching from afar as Ronaldo and the Real Madrid players hugged and celebrated.

The entire stadium echoed with the resounding chants of Real Madrid's team anthem.

The sheer scale of the event instilled a sense of powerlessness, making it impossible to compete with.

"I'm charging in Madrid!"

"I am the battle and the glory."

"It's a cry for inheritance..."

"Madrid, Madrid, Madrid..."

"Hala Madrid! Y nada más, Y nada más!!"

Lu Xiao hadn't had a chance to seize the opportunity to attack.

The defense conceded four goals!

Who can I complain to about this?

"How can I put it, Lu, this is just too difficult to play."

Given the vast disparity in strength between the two teams, Julian Brandt even managed a wry smile of relief.

"Sigh, I've done my best to help defend."

Son Heung-min is also very troubled.

No matter how hard they try, it's useless if their defense is torn apart by Real Madrid!

Son Heung-min seemed to be subtly complaining about the poor quality of the backcourt.

"There's nothing we can do. They've all done their best."

Look at these names on the other side; they're all players who are very good at seizing opportunities.

Especially considering that two of them are worth over 100 million, it's understandable that they played like this.

Lu Xiao let out a long breath.

Sometimes, simply being stubborn won't work.

Professional players must face the gap between the two sides and acknowledge the strength of their opponents.

"So, does this mean the Champions League season is over?"

"Not necessarily. Let's try to stabilize the situation and see if we can find an opportunity to score..."

Lu Xiao hasn't given up yet; he's still trying to find a solution.

Meanwhile, the two Leverkusen coaches were also frowning as they discussed countermeasures.

"We still need to strengthen our defense."

"Should we strengthen our defense even when we're behind?"

"Yes, at least we can't let Real Madrid score again."

Hypia glanced at the time; the scoreboard showed 79:42.

There are about 10 minutes left.

It will be very difficult to score three goals and equalize the score.

Leverkusen's most important task right now is to stabilize their defense and score as many away goals as possible.

If Bayer Leverkusen can score enough away goals, they can still keep their hopes alive in the second leg.

What if Real Madrid wins by a huge margin, like 5-1 or 6-1?

Turning the tide in the second round is virtually impossible.

"Okay, that makes sense."

Sasha understood Hyypia's idea and quickly went to the bench to make arrangements.

Changing players wasted a lot of time.

Bayer Leverkusen didn't make any substitutions until the 82nd minute of the match.

Two players were substituted in succession.

Donati, the right-back who was carrying a yellow card and was hesitant in defense, was substituted and replaced by the more solid German, Hilbert.

The striker Kiessling, who had been invisible throughout the game, was substituted and replaced by the workhorse defensive midfielder Jens Hegeler to further strengthen the midfield and defensive depth.

Lu Xiao was positioned on the front line.

Together with Son Heung-min and Julian Brandt, they formed the only remaining three-man offensive unit.

Everyone else had to focus on defense and couldn't provide any support.

"Lu, the attack depends on you. Go for it if you can find an opportunity in the attacking third."

We'll try our best to hold the line from behind.

Jens Hegeler, who came on as a substitute, briefly explained the coaching staff's thoughts.

"clear."

Lu Xiao nodded, having already grasped the tactical details upon seeing the substitutions.

……

"Coach Zhang, does Leverkusen's substitutions indicate they've given up?"

"uncertain."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Lu had a rough idea of ​​Leverkusen's intentions.

"The coaching staff still trusts Lu Xiao and wants him to play the full game."

In previous matches, Lu Xiao always managed to create miracles at crucial moments...

Young people, they're full of energy.

Coach Zhang secretly harbored some expectations.

If Lu Xiao can create opportunities even in such a desperate situation,

And they can perform exceptionally well even against strong teams like Real Madrid.

That proves that Lu Xiao has a strong heart and a bright future!

Even if they are eliminated by Real Madrid in two legs,

Bayer Leverkusen's run to the Champions League semi-finals is already amazing!

After this season's experience, Lu Xiao

Next season might be even more terrifying!

Lu Xiao glanced at the system's anger level and then at the scoreboard; time was still running out.

The team strengthened its defensive players and indeed withstood Real Madrid's attack.

Time is running out for Lu Xiao to score.

The 【Bee Joy Return】 template is great in every way, except that it's too hard to accumulate rage!

Throughout the entire match, the score only managed to reach 91.

It's already been 86 minutes!

He desperately wanted to confront Modric, Varane, Ramos, and others.

To others, Lu Xiao's behavior was seen as energetic and proactive.

"Lu Xiao is in great form, playing very aggressively on defense. Even when trailing by a large margin, Lu Xiao didn't give up and kept looking for opportunities!"

Zhan Jun was deeply moved.

How could such a tenacious young player, such a young man with a strong desire to win, not succeed?

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao's desperate attempt to build up his anger actually paid off!

The match entered stoppage time.

Khedira relaxed a little after taking a commanding 4-1 lead.

Lu Xiao, who was lying in ambush from behind, suddenly lunged out from the side, his upper body actually pushing aside Hedira, who was stronger than him!

Successfully intercepted the ball in the center circle!

After being quiet for a long time, Zhan Jun suddenly perked up!

"Hey!! Lu Xiao! He's intercepted! Leverkusen have a counter-attack opportunity!"

Go for it, Lu Xiao!

Charge!
