Chinese-Canadian prodigy saves the day in 10 minutes! Lu Xiao's scorpion kick assist and stoppage-time winner help Belgium come from behind to defeat their opponents 2-1.

——BBC Sports

"2014 Brazil World Cup First Round Group Stage Match Report: Group H just finished a thrilling match."

Belgium's €4 million squad was surprisingly dominated by Algeria until the 86th minute when 17-year-old substitute Lu Xiao came on and immediately provided a bizarre scorpion kick assist to equalize. In stoppage time, he scored the decisive goal with a volley, setting a new World Cup record for the youngest player to score and assist!

Before the match, the media favored the star-studded Belgian team. The Red Devils maintained an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 2 draws in this European Championship qualifier, making them one of the first European teams to qualify.

With 18 goals scored and only 4 conceded, the team is in high spirits and is expected to achieve good results in this World Cup.

The team boasts many stars, including Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Kompany, Dembele, and Van Buyten, who all play for top-tier league clubs or strong teams.

Compared to Belgium, Algeria is clearly the weaker party.

However, throughout the match, Algeria maintained a tenacious fighting spirit and impressive combat effectiveness.

A penalty kick scored in the 24th minute gave Algeria the lead.

They also held firm in their defense and didn't give Belgium many opportunities.

The star-studded Belgian team controlled possession, but their coordination was somewhat chaotic, failing to pose much of a threat to the Algerian goal, and their €4 million squad found themselves on the back foot.

Just as Belgium was about to suffer a shock defeat in their first match,

17-year-old Chinese-Canadian player Lu Xiao was called upon to come on as a substitute and played for only 10 minutes.

As it turned out, Wilmots' substitutions were crucial, but also had shortcomings.

He should have substituted Lu Xiao earlier!

After coming on, Lu Xiao continued his amazing performance in the Bundesliga last season.

At Bayer Leverkusen, Lu Xiao has repeatedly played a crucial role in key battles, helping the team to turn the tide and win.

In this match, Lu Xiao also delivered a perfect performance.

In the 86th minute, a scorpion kick assisted Hazard to score, and in the final minute of stoppage time, he calmly volleyed the winning goal.

Lu Xiao proved with his strength that performance on the World Cup stage has nothing to do with age!

This rising Chinese-American star continues his amazing performances...

……

Despite winning their first World Cup match, Lu Xiao wasn't overly happy.

Playing against Algeria has caused a lot of trouble.

Next up are the even stronger Russian team, and then the South Korean team.

Leaving aside the Russian team,

The South Korean team has performed exceptionally well in international competitions in recent years.

They have at least a chance to reach the round of 16, or even the quarterfinals.

Son Heung-min is a teammate of Bayer Leverkusen.

Under his leadership, he could pose a significant threat to Belgium.

Belgium's chances of qualifying are not very secure at the moment.

We need to give it our all in the next two games.

After a short one-day break, Wilmots led the team back to serious training.

"Run!! Hurry up! Haven't you eaten yet?"

Head coach Wilmots is very anxious.

In the first match, if it weren't for Lu Xiao's heroics, Belgium would have lost!

The team is not performing well.

He sternly reprimanded the team, hoping the players could step up their game.

However, it was clear that the Belgian players looked pained, and each of them looked exhausted, as if they had been staying up all night for days.

"Coach, can we take a short break? We really can't train anymore."

Captain Kompany was panting heavily; even a strong man like him couldn't keep up.

Not to mention the skinny young Januzaj, who was almost completely exhausted.

Lu Xiao also found it difficult to persevere; he simply had a strong enough willpower to grit his teeth and endure it.

"Okay, take a 15-minute break."

Upon hearing the head coach's order, the Belgian players breathed a sigh of relief.

After a grueling season, this should be a perfect opportunity for an exclusive deal.

They must travel across the ocean and exhaust their last bit of strength to participate in the World Cup.

The World Cup schedule is packed, which is a test of the players' physical fitness and willpower.

Unfortunately, the World Cup represents the highest honor in world football.

Players must bring an even higher level of spirit than they would during the league season.

No wonder many players who dominate in the league completely fall silent on the World Cup stage.

"Lu, why are you working so hard? If you keep pushing yourself like this, it'll make us look like slackers."

Hazard complained helplessly.

He had intended to slack off, but Lu Xiao turned all the training sessions up to the highest intensity.

Hazard couldn't slack off any longer and had to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Isn't the point of coming to the World Cup to win? And I have a reason to absolutely win the next match."

"I know, your next opponent is your teammate, right? Sun is indeed quite strong..."

"That's... about right."

Lu Xiao thought for a moment, unsure how to explain it to Hazard.

Even though he is a Chinese player, he has never played in a domestic environment.

But I watched the national football team's matches with my father, Lu Yongping, since I was a child.

The peak of the Chinese national football team in 2002 played an attacking game against five-time world champions Brazil.

They lost 0-4, and the whole country is cursing them.

But Lu Xiao felt they played quite well, at least much better than in the many years that followed.

I thought it was just the beginning, but it turned out to be the peak.

The South Korean team's performance in that World Cup was something everyone knows.

From that time on, Lu Xiao developed a strong aversion to his neighbor's "sportsmanship".

So much so that I initially disliked Son Heung-min.

After interacting with him during daily training, I felt that Brother Sun was alright, and my aversion to him has temporarily dissipated.

That only applies to him personally.

Regarding the upcoming opponents,

Lu Xiao still felt genuine disgust.

The Chinese national football team suffers from "Korea phobia," having struggled to defeat their opponent for so many years.

As a Chinese person, Lu Xiao felt it was necessary to teach them a lesson!

He had every reason to win this match!

……

Iguazu, Paraná State, Brazil.

At Pedro Basu's training base, the entire South Korean team is in the media screening room, watching and reviewing their upcoming opponent's match.

On the projector screen, Lu Xiao was delivering an assist with an incredible scorpion kick inside the penalty area.

The South Korean players were dumbfounded.

"Aigo—has he gotten stronger again?"

Son Heung-min was the most shocked.

As his teammate, he was well aware of Lu Xiao's abilities.

When the group stage results were announced, news broke that Lu Xiao had joined Belgium, which inevitably made Son Heung-min nervous.

The episode I was most afraid of has arrived!

He'd rather face Portugal, or even Argentina, and play against Messi!

"Heungmin, you and Lu are teammates. What do you think of his true skill level? Is it just hype?"

I'm curious about Ki Sung-yueng, the English international who plays for Sunderland in the Premier League.

Is a 17-year-old really as amazing as the media makes him out to be?

In the world of football, Ki Sung-yueng inherently looked down on his neighbors and had a condescending attitude.

He found it hard to believe that a Chinese person could play football.

Son Heung-min, who had been smiling, now looked very serious.

"I advise you to take this person seriously."

It's fine if he doesn't play, but if he does, we're going to have a very difficult time!
