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

What Kahn could see

Head coach Klopp certainly sees it more clearly.

Klopp had barely returned to the locker room when he didn't even have time to comfort the dejected players.

He quickly pulled out the whiteboard and started writing and drawing on it.

"Robert, run like this, try to weave between the two of them, be more flexible in your positioning..."

"Marco! Don't limit yourself to the wing, switch positions more, cut inside more, and try to find opportunities from the flanks."

"And Henrik, you too. We should try to exploit the gaps between the center-backs and full-backs."

Their full-backs are substitutes, and their defensive coordination with the center-backs is not yet smooth enough; a closer look reveals many weaknesses.

We can make the most of it.

Robert Lewandowski,

Marco Reus,

Henrik Mkhitaryan nodded in agreement.

Klopp pulled out the projector again and quickly played the recording of the first half on his laptop.

Let's break down the tactics we just discussed by examining the players' details and habitual movements.

"...Do you understand now? You can do it like this, two people can work together to attack this one point."

He turns very slowly; if the wall is hit properly, it's easy to break through.

Try to seize the opportunity, otherwise the other party will realize it and replace you.

……

The home team's locker room,

Lu Xiao showed no joy after taking the lead.

Based on his "wild instincts," he had a feeling that the second half wouldn't be so easy.

The defense is bound to have problems.

But what can Lu Xiao do? He's just a striker.

Lu Xiao's defensive task was simply to limit the opponent's center-backs from passing the ball and to limit the opponent's defensive midfielders from passing the ball.

Lu Xiao couldn't cover the opposing frontcourt duo at all.

If Lu Xiao were to return to the penalty area to defend, it would be a waste of his attacking opportunities.

Therefore,

To counter Dortmund's attack, Lu Xiao can only try to create more opportunities to score goals in the attacking third.

The defense must trust its own defenders.

Even if you feel that this defense doesn't quite look like a top-tier Bundesliga team...

What can we do?

Bayer Leverkusen was your own choice! My idol!

……

At the start of the second half, Dortmund's relentless high-pressing continued to make life difficult for Leverkusen.

At the same time, they also strengthened their blockade of the midfield and defense.

This reduces the risk of Lu Xiao gaining possession of the ball.

If Leverkusen clears the ball with a long kick...

Subotic and Hummels, both tall center-backs over 190cm, push forward to contest headers and are generally able to win the ball.

For a time, Dortmund had 82% possession in the first 10 minutes of the second half!

Bayer Leverkusen made zero passes through the halfway line!

Anyone who didn't know better would think Borussia Dortmund's opponent was the Chinese national football team.

"What should we do?"

"You're the head coach, and you're asking me?"

"You're the head coach too, who else am I supposed to ask if not you?"

On the sidelines, Sasha and Hyypia bicker as usual.

Both are head coaches, but neither of them has any solutions right now.

Some of the tactical maneuvers were basically outmaneuvered by the old fox Jürgen Klopp.

Sasha and Hyypia do not consider themselves world-class coaches; their actual talent is limited.

All we can rely on is the individual strength of the team members.

"Let's see if Lu can get a chance to win a prize, even just one attacking opportunity, and try to steal a goal."

With a two-goal lead, all we need to do now is solidify our defense.

Lu Xiao shared the same idea as the two coaches.

That's right,

Dortmund's high press looked airtight and impenetrable.

But people are not machines, and they will always make mistakes.

As long as the opportunity is seized, the weakness of high-level pressure will be magnified infinitely!

The vast gaps in their backfield were practically like the Narat Grassland in summer!

The only thing to be careful about is,

Did Dortmund's forwards score first, or did Lu Xiao capitalize on their mistake?

Although Lu Xiao did not directly match up against Dortmund's forwards,

But the battle of time has already begun!

……

"Leverkusen's defense is under immense pressure! Lewandowski!!!"

"A high-quality shot, saved by Leno again!"

Even CCTV5 commentator Duan Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous for Leno.

Leno has been in excellent form during this period, and with the defense under pressure, he has become the only reliable player in front of the goal.

Bernd Leno later transferred to Arsenal, where he won the FA Cup, and then went to Fulham.

This goalkeeper may not be as famous as some world-class goalkeepers.

His own condition is also somewhat unpredictable.

When he's in good form, he can be Arsenal's savior, making crucial saves.

When you're not in good form, you're bound to make a lot of silly mistakes.

He is a player with a big heart, known as the "penalty killer," and has saved many crucial penalties at critical moments.

For some reason, the first time I saw Leno,

A bunch of future information quickly surfaced in Lu Xiao's mind.

Today may be the day to test Leno.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Reus dribbled into the penalty area and was tripped by Spahic.

Borussia Dortmund has been awarded a penalty!

"Leverkusen is in danger now, Lewandowski is taking this penalty himself. So far this season, Lewandowski has taken 12 penalties and scored 12 of them, a 100% success rate!"

Duan Xuan was secretly astonished when he saw the data.

This is not a good situation!

These measures have made matters worse for an already precarious defense.

If Dortmund manages to equalize, it will demoralize Leverkusen and embolden their opponents to launch an even more aggressive attack.

It seems Leverkusen will have a hard time resisting.

Bernd Leno stood in front of the ball,

Compared to the fans, he seemed remarkably calm, as if he weren't even on the field, and the team wasn't a key factor in the championship race.

Instead, it felt as relaxed as standing on the training field.

Lewandowski placed the ball, and Leno deliberately pointed to the top corner of the goal, indicating that Lewandowski should kick it there.

Robert Lewandowski, Polish international, the best center forward in the Bundesliga, and the world's number one center forward.

He didn't make eye contact with the goalkeeper; his gaze was fixed solely on the football.

But this annoying goalkeeper still managed to affect Lewandowski's mood.

How could the proud and arrogant Lewandowski tolerate this?

Okay, I'll kick it right here!

beep—

The referee blows the whistle, Lewandowski takes a run-up and swings his leg!

In the blink of an eye,

Lu Xiao's anger level was only at 75%.

His "wild instincts" still came into play!

Is there a chance?

Regardless of whether his teammates can save the penalty, Lu Xiao immediately makes a run forward!

Everyone's attention was focused on the penalty kick, and no one noticed Lu Xiao's position for the time being.

"Lewandowski, shoot!!"

Duan Xuan almost suffocated!

Lewandowski did indeed kick the top right corner.

However, in his pursuit of stability, he focused too much on the angle, resulting in a slightly weaker shot!

Leno reacted quickly and made a crucial save!

"Lenno!! Dive out!!"

Leverkusen fans breathed a sigh of relief, and the Dortmund players didn't think much of it for the time being.

He simply rushed into the penalty area to try and contest for the ball.

Captain Rolfes arrived just in time and immediately turned around to help the team out.

He just wanted to kick it as far as possible.

But as the clearance ball flew towards the forward area, a black figure sprinted at high speed beneath the ball...

The Dortmund players felt a chill run down their spines!

"Oh my god!"

"We're doomed!! Get back on defense!!"

"Damn it!!" Head coach Klopp roared in fury!

I stood up nervously and stared at the court!

The clearance ball flew perfectly into Lu Xiao's path!

Subotic and goalkeeper Weidenfeller rushed to the landing point at the same time, and it looked like they were about to double-team Lu Xiao!

[Supporting Character: Nagi Seishiro] Activated!

Sorry, I have another crucial skill!

[Maximum ball control]!

Facing the falling ball, Lu Xiao, under the astonished gaze of the world,

He leaped into the air and flicked the ball with his toes past Subotic!

Stop and go!

Upon landing, facing goalkeeper Weidenfeller, he gently pushed through his legs with the outside of his foot.

He turned gracefully, like a matador, past the goalkeeper.

He beat two people in an instant! He stood directly in front of the empty gate!

The Chinese-American teenager's artistic and skillful dribbling left Duan Xuan speechless!

"Oh my god!! This ball! Lu Xiao! Lu Xiao!! It's an open goal!!"

"Shot into the empty net!! Goal! Goal!"

"Wow!! Dortmund missed the penalty, and it turned into a Leverkusen counter-attack!"

"Lu Xiao once again miraculously seized the opportunity, dribbling past two players to score his second goal!"

Bayer Leverkusen 2-0!

Victory secured!

The Bundesliga title is beckoning to them!
