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

"The young players, hailed as Belgium's golden generation, were considered by European media as the dark horses of this World Cup before the tournament."

Who would have thought they would have such a difficult time against Algeria in their first match!

LeSports live stream.

More than 3000 million viewers!

One factor is the World Cup, which is held every four years and is considered a major event for the entire nation.

Even though the Chinese national football team has failed to qualify for the main tournament since 2002,

The World Cup seems to have nothing to do with the Chinese people.

But the level of participation was still very high.

During the World Cup, elements celebrating the World Cup could be seen everywhere.

TV news, trending topics on Weibo, subway screens, outdoor print ads... it's like a holiday.

Even many late-night food stalls set up TVs to broadcast World Cup matches during the tournament.

People ate crayfish and drank beer while watching the game.

Before this, everyone was just watching the show.

Until Lu Xiao was officially announced as part of Belgium's 23-man squad...

Okay, now domestic fans have a team to support.

Italy, England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Argentina... all of them, step aside!

That has to be our European Red Devils, Belgium!

Let's talk about whether the Belgian team's jersey is red!

"Go Lu Shen!!"

"You just arrived, which one is Lu Xiao?"

"Who are the good guys?"

"What kind of football was that? They got thrashed by Algeria!"

"Where's Lu Shen? I haven't seen him!"

"Wow! I see him! Lu Xiao is so handsome!"

57th minute of the second half.

Belgium 0-1 Algeria.

The goal from the first half has remained uncontested until now, and Belgium has yet to break through the opponent's defense.

Algeria is wary of Belgium's formidable midfield and forward lineup.

They held the penalty area and parked the bus.

This resulted in Belgium's most powerful player, Eden Hazard, being unable to perform at his best.

The attacking third was packed with players, leaving Hazard no space to break through.

Whenever he gets the ball, he will inevitably be double-teamed by at least three players.

The rough defense completely shut down Hazard.

Many fans who frequently watch European matches were amazed by this star-studded lineup.

Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper in the Champions League final;

Manchester City's key central defender in their title-winning season, and Bayern Munich's key central defender;

Tottenham's key defensive midfielder, Zenit's Russian Premier League champion defensive midfielder;

Premier League Young Player of the Year + 2013-2014 Premier League Player of the Year + Chelsea Player of the Season;

Wolfsburg's key player + Wolfsburg's Player of the Season;

Dutch Cup champion midfielder;

Belgian First Division A Golden Boot winner + Chelsea's promising young star + Everton's top scorer...

If they can't even beat Algeria, how can they advance from the group stage? Can they even beat Russia and South Korea?

Unfortunately, Belgium was indeed stumped by the dense defense.

Three universally recognized methods for breaking through a dense defense.

Individual breakthroughs, long-range shots, and headers in the penalty area.

A breakthrough is currently impossible.

Hazard, De Bruyne, and Dembele all had their long-range shots blocked by Algerian defenders.

He has an advantage in headers, with the tall, 191cm black center forward Lukaku standing firmly in the penalty area.

The opposing defenders should be applying pressure.

However, at this very moment, in 2014, Lukaku was already showing glimpses of his future talent as a "comedian".

"De Bruyne's pass!! Perfect placement!! Lukaku!!!"

Lukaku used his physical prowess to jump up and steal the ball, then headed it towards the crossbar!

The ball bounced back and hit his vital area before bouncing out of bounds.

The Algerian players didn't touch the ball at all throughout the entire match, they were just watching Lukaku's performance.

Belgium launched a renewed attack.

De Bruyne is still giving it his all, changing the pace on the right flank, feinting and dropping his shoulder to shake off his opponent, then suddenly creating an angle to deliver a curving cross!

An exaggerated arc bypassed two center-backs, heading straight for Lukaku at the far post!

Lukaku only needs to lift his foot slightly, and a shot from the six-yard box is almost guaranteed to go in.

Little did the young man know that he was too eager to be a hero, and he subconsciously used his right foot to shoot!

The shot, which was less than 2 meters from the goal, went high and wide!

"Lukaku!!! That shot went wide!!"

Zhan Jun was disappointed and frustrated.

He knew that Everton's striker was capable of much more than that, but the World Cup was such an abstract sport!

"After conceding the goal, Belgium briefly regained possession and launched several threatening attacks."

Unfortunately, they were always just a little short of the final goal...

Oh? We see Enzo Schiff and Predholm in the stands; Belgian legends have all come to the event.

Wow! And David and Beckham are there too!

There are quite a few football legends and social celebrities watching the game today.

Belgium coach Wilmots…

This is considered Zhan Jun's signature skill.

He could recognize almost anyone the director showed in close-up shots and give a brief explanation.

"...Wilmotz didn't seem too satisfied with what was happening on the field either."

Should we consider replacing him?

Since the team currently lacks finishing ability,

Keep in mind, sitting on the bench is the Bundesliga Golden Boot winner, the talented striker who broke Gerd Müller's record!

The camera has switched to Lu Xiao countless times.

When the stadium became a little quiet...

The director's favorite shots, besides the big bear-faced beauty in the stands, were of Lu Xiao.

Even female fans who don't understand or watch football

Occasionally, I'd switch channels and find a match.

Everyone who saw Lu Xiao couldn't help but stop and take a second look.

Who knows, they might become completely obsessed with football and gradually become a fan.

Male fans might even develop a liking for a star player because of their spectacular goals and dribbling highlights.

For a significant number of female football fans, their initial motivation for getting involved in football is quite simple.

It started with good looks, but I'm still loyal to the skills.

……

Lu Xiao had forgotten how many times he had warmed up.

Every few minutes, he would be called up by the assistant coach to join the bench in warming up and maintaining his fitness.

Watching the game is boring anyway.

While twisting his waist, Lu Xiao chatted with Thierry Henry, the Arsenal legend, "King of Highbury," and his childhood idol.

"Thierry, you played a whole season without going on vacation, so why did you decide to become the coach of the Belgian national team?"

Henry was a legend in football, leading Arsenal on a 42-game unbeaten run and reaching the Champions League final, where they were unfortunately defeated by Barcelona.

I never expected that I would win the Champions League title together with Barcelona.

A sextuple title, coupled with his dominant performances during his time at Arsenal,

In addition to winning the 1998 World Cup, the 2000 European Championship, and four Premier League Golden Boots...

With numerous accolades to his name, Henry is already considered a football legend.

After leaving European football, he went to North America, leading the New York Red Bulls to the Eastern Conference title and winning the MLS MVP award.

Who would have thought that Henry would receive an invitation from the Belgian national team during his vacation?

He participated in the World Cup as a forward coach.

During the training camp, Lu Xiao also received guidance from Henry and learned a lot of shooting tips and tricks, which benefited him greatly.

Henry, whose beard was already gray, smiled:

"I want to be a head coach in the future, but I haven't obtained my A-level certificate yet. I wanted to take this opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup and gain some coaching experience."

"By the way, Lu. I reckon we might have to put you on the field later. Whether we can win today depends on your performance."

Henry suddenly said something.

Just as Lu Xiao was about to speak, head coach Wilmots came over.

"Lu, if you're all warmed up, change your clothes and get ready to go up."

Today's battle was quite difficult.

Hopefully you can find your Bundesliga form again. Keep it up, kid!

Do not know why,

When head coach Wilmots patted himself on the shoulder,

Lu Xiaohuan heard a voice say, "Go for it, special forces soldier."

Was his World Cup debut really this unexpected?

……

The game was initially quite dull, and many fans who don't usually watch games were getting sleepy.

Suddenly, Lu Xiao changed his clothes and stood on the sidelines.

Zhan Jun's voice instantly rose eight octaves:

"Oh? The Belgian team is finally making personnel changes!"

"Lu Xiao!! Last season's Bundesliga Best Young Player, Bundesliga Team of the Year, Bundesliga Golden Boot, and key striker in the league championship!"

"Lu Xiao, whom everyone has been eagerly anticipating, has finally made his World Cup debut!"

After 12 years, Chinese players are once again stepping onto the World Cup stage!
