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

Chapter 135 The Champions League final is just around the corner, are you willing to accept it?

A white bus bearing the Real Madrid logo slowly drove into the BayArena.

Cristiano Ronaldo got off the bus with his headphones on and his hands in his pockets.

He ignored the cameras and microphones of the surrounding media reporters.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, the outcome of this Champions League semi-final second leg was a foregone conclusion.

Real Madrid will crush Bayer Leverkusen and advance to the Champions League final!

The matches in the upper bracket had already concluded the previous night.

The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

In the second leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea clearly had a very favorable situation.

Chelsea lost 1-3 to Atletico Madrid.

The relentless pressing and defensive pressure proved too much for Chelsea's aging midfield and defense, ultimately ending their run in the semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid have made it to the Champions League final!

This made Ronaldo even more furious.

If their city rivals Atletico Madrid can reach the final, what if Real Madrid, despite having an advantage in the first leg, are overturned by Bayer Leverkusen?

Cristiano Ronaldo may be heartbroken.

"Cristiano?"

Ramos, standing behind him, was a little puzzled. Ronaldo had already walked to the stadium entrance, but suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

"Oh, I'm fine."

Cristiano Ronaldo regained his senses and hurriedly walked into the stadium.

……

At the same time, in the home team's locker room, the entire Leverkusen team had already arrived.

They all changed into their training clothes and prepared to warm up before the competition.

Judging from the atmosphere in the locker room, everyone seemed relatively relaxed.

Anyway, I'm already satisfied with how far we've come.

Winning or losing this match will not affect the players' market value or reputation.

Losing is no loss, winning is a huge profit.

The Bayer Leverkusen players actually have a better mentality than Real Madrid.

"Lu, you know what? That day in Madrid, I added a Spanish girl as a Facebook friend."

She came to watch the game today too.

If we win, maybe we can ask her out and comfort her broken heart.

Lu Xiao: ? ? ?

"What if we lose?"

"It would be a bit difficult if she lost; she'll definitely celebrate with the Real Madrid fans."

"So this is what motivates you to win?"

"No...no, no, no, how could I be that kind of person? It's definitely for getting into the finals!"

I thought Julian Brandt had toned it down a while ago.

However, he was spurred on by Lu Xiao's rise and wanted to work harder.

In reality, nothing has changed.

"Can we really win?"

Son Heung-min, however, didn't have much confidence.

Real Madrid lead 4-2 after the first leg. If Bayer Leverkusen wants to advance to the final,

We must win decisively 2-0.

If Real Madrid scores a goal, it will be a 3-1 victory.

If Real Madrid scores two or more goals, erasing their away goals advantage, it will be extremely difficult for Leverkusen to win.

but,

Bayer Leverkusen's biggest weakness right now is their defense. Can they stop Real Madrid from scoring?

Based on the performance in the first round, the answer is obvious... no.

Assuming they do their best to limit Real Madrid to a maximum of 2 goals,

Bayer Leverkusen must score four goals to have any hope of advancing!

Four balls!

The offensive pressure fell entirely on the trio of Son Heung-min, Lu Xiao, and Julian Brandt.

In order to counter Real Madrid's powerful attacking trident, and to withstand the BBC trio,

The coaching staff did not use a two-striker formation today, but instead opted for a single striker!

Lu Xiao stood alone at the very front.

Son Heung-min and Julian Brandt were positioned on either side of each other.

The team features a 3-defensive-midfielder and 4-defender configuration, focusing on a solid defense and counter-attacks.

"Sun, don't think about it so much."

Lu Xiao quickly dispelled his pessimistic thoughts.

The young and inexperienced Son Heung-min is not yet the future "Asia's No. 1". Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min.

He did not have the same firm core and confidence as he did later.

"Win or lose, I hope we have no regrets today."

"Great! No regrets!"

With only 90 minutes left until the final in the Champions League semi-final, maybe with a little effort we can make it to the final!

In his first season at Bayer Leverkusen, he reached the Champions League final.

Son Heung-min would never dare to dream of such a thing.

Under Lu Xiao's leadership, is it really going to be achieved?

……

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers, you are now watching the second leg of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League semi-final."

Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen will host world-class giants Real Madrid at their home ground.

In the first leg, Real Madrid held a significant advantage at home, but Lu Xiao's goal pulled one back for Real Madrid.

The final score is currently 4-2.

Lu Xiao's final goal kept a glimmer of hope for a comeback for Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen, dressed in black jerseys, attacked from left to right.

The team currently wearing white jerseys is Real Madrid, and they are attacking from right to left.

Di Maria controlled the ball in the attacking third and suddenly played a through ball!

Cristiano Ronaldo!! He'll kick himself!

That was a close call! Ronaldo unleashed a thunderous long-range shot just 40 seconds into the game!

That was a really tricky kick...

Many domestic fans who got up in the middle of the night to watch the game were now wide awake and shuddered in fright.

Although few believed Leverkusen could turn the tide,

A sliver of hope remains.

What if?

……

The starting lineups for both sides were largely the same as in the first leg.

However, Leverkusen dropped striker Kiessling, and formed a solid three-man midfield with Jens Hegeler, Rolfes, and Lars Bender.

There were always seven players firmly positioned in front of the penalty area.

In addition, the occasional defensive runs by wingers Son Heung-min and Julian Brandt,

In the first 15 minutes of the match, apart from Ronaldo's opening shot, Real Madrid did not actually have many opportunities.

Bayer Leverkusen held off Real Madrid's attack in their own half for the time being, appearing quite solid.

Lu Xiao roamed the attacking third constantly, looking for opportunities.

Because today's team is playing with a single striker,

After careful consideration, he chose the [Nagi Seishiro] template, which doesn't have a strong ability to make long-distance runs, but is well-rounded enough in the attacking third.

In theory, using [Bee Joy Return] would be more effective for counterattacks.

However, [Bee Joy Return] accumulates rage rather slowly, and counterintuitively,

Real Madrid doesn't maintain possession and pressure for extended periods; they prefer to play counter-attacking football against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid had almost equal possession.

They are even slightly ahead.

CCTV commentator Gong Lei noticed this problem.

"Leverkusen seemed to have more opportunities to create chances with the ball today, but that was actually Ancelotti doing it on purpose."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Real Madrid are currently leading on aggregate, so they're not in a hurry. It's Bayer Leverkusen who are anxious."

Furthermore, after failing to break through the defense within the first 15 minutes, Real Madrid deliberately retreated to their own half, conceding possession to Bayer Leverkusen.

"Yes, we wanted to draw Leverkusen out and expose more defensive weaknesses."

He Wei's words pinpointed Ancelotti's tactical adjustments.

Let Bayer Leverkusen, a team that plays on the counter-attack, push forward and control the ball.

Can they fight? Absolutely not!

So, even though Leverkusen increased their possession after the 20th minute, they still struggled to break through Real Madrid's defense.

On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale's "two hundred million flying together" often delivers heart-stopping counterattacks.

"That ball! Ronaldo!! Di Maria's pass was brilliant!"

"Ronaldo breaks through on the left wing, cuts inside, and scores himself!!"

"Leno! A world-class save! Real Madrid's fifth corner kick of the first half!"

The relatively unknown Bernd Leno almost burned out today, leaping up to make a crucial save against Ronaldo's deadly long-range shot.

When Leverkusen seemed to be caught in a dilemma, their path turning into a double bind.

Lu Xiao, however, saw a glimmer of hope for scoring a goal.

"Lenno, if you have the chance in the future, try to find this spot for me."

"no problem!"

Leno nodded, panting.

He was almost suffocating; Lu Xiao's suggestion was like a ray of light descending from heaven.

If anyone is to step forward, it must be this amazing Easterner!

"Real Madrid takes a corner kick, Di Maria curls a shot... Ramos heads it in!! Leno deftly catches it with his long arm!"

After catching the ball, goalkeeper Leno looked towards Lu Xiao's position almost immediately.

Without any hesitation, he swiftly tossed the ball towards Lu Xiao!

Real Madrid defenders Varane and Ramos were both vying for a header in the penalty area.

The midfield is currently quite empty!

"An opportunity!! Leverkusen launches a quick counter-attack with a throw-in!"

He Wei's heart leaped into his throat!

The Real Madrid stars felt a chill run down their spines!

Not good!

The world's attention is focused on this 16-year-old Chinese boy!

He is the sole protagonist of the Bayer Arena at this moment!
