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

Belgium vs Portugal

The second half of the first knockout match of the World Cup has begun.

Many Belgian fans thought they could easily defeat Portugal.

Before the match, many people were already celebrating with champagne, saying that Belgium would easily crush their opponents.

In interviews outside the stadium, drunken Belgian fans were shouting that they would easily crush Portugal 3-0.

Twitter was buzzing with champagne, and Belgian fans were celebrating everywhere.

"3-0! If we don't beat Portugal today, I'll climb up the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro with my bare hands and stand on it to do XXXX..."

"Portugal played terribly in the group stage, how can they possibly beat Belgium? They'll definitely win today."

"Belgium advanced with a perfect record, while Portugal almost got eliminated in the group stage. It's quite obvious who's stronger, isn't it?"

"With Lu Xiao on the team, we'll definitely crush them 3-0!"

When Cristiano Ronaldo scored a free kick, Portugal temporarily took a 2-1 lead over Belgium.

Many Portuguese fans flooded the comments section with sarcastic remarks.

"Speak! Are you still going to yell?"

"Who's really abusing whom?"

"What do you mean by 2-1? Ronaldo > Lukaku!"

"Ronaldo is the best in the world!"

Fortunately, the Portuguese group was too weak in attack, and they kept repeating the same old rhetoric.

Otherwise, if it were Chinese netizens,

With its attack power maxed out, it's bound to drive people crazy.

Belgian fans weren't going to give in either; they hadn't admitted defeat yet!

"The game isn't over yet! Don't get too cocky!"

At this point, no one cared about online arguments anymore; everyone's eyes were glued to the TV screen, hoping that the Belgian team could make a difference in the second half.

As for the fans at the scene, they started singing wildly from halftime.

However, the Belgian fans' chants were rather mixed and failed to form a unified voice.

Belgium is divided into French-speaking, German-speaking, and Flemish-speaking regions, each with its own distinct lifestyle and culture.

There was no unified, influential national leadership to step forward and guide all the fans.

On the contrary, the Portuguese fans in the stands were singing and dancing, chanting Portuguese songs, their voices drowning out the Belgian section.

Other neutral Brazilian fans were just watching the show, supporting whoever won.

Some locals switched sides to Portugal and were chanting Ronaldo's name.

Both on the field and in the stands, Belgium seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The team's morale was low, and the players became rather impatient.

Origi could have waited a bit longer, calmly passed the ball to De Bruyne on the right, or passed it back to Lu Xiao in the back.

But he was in such a hurry to shoot that he turned and kicked the ball forcefully into the stands, which drew laughter from the Portuguese fans.

The Belgian team's morale has been dealt another blow.

"Should we bring on Lukaku?"

"Let him warm up, get ready to go."

"But even if Lukaku comes on, it might not be effective..."

Belgium's assistant coach, Jean-Luc, looked worried; his confidence had long since vanished, and he genuinely felt they might lose to Portugal.

Wilmots was also gnawing on his nails, his mind a jumble, unable to come up with any good tactics.

Cristiano Ronaldo's form has exploded, almost rivaling his strongest "Golden-edged Ronaldo" form.

They were able to threaten the Belgian goal on numerous occasions.

If it weren't for Courtois's phenomenal performance, Ronaldo would have already scored a hat-trick.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot!! Oh my!! Almost a goal! Belgium escaped a close call!"

"Courtois made a world-class save!"

He is set to return to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid next season, replacing Cech.

It is said that Real Madrid has also set its sights on this outstanding goalkeeper and hopes to bring him to the Bernabéu.

Courtois' performance at the World Cup was remarkable; he truly possesses world-class ability.

However, relying solely on him is not enough; the midfield and forward lines must also play a role and pose some threat to Portugal.

Lu Xiao was very active in his running, but his teammates were too anxious and failed to coordinate with him.

Let's see if Lu Xiao can step up and save the team...

……

What can Lu Xiao do?

When Hazard gets anxious, he likes to dribble the ball himself, burying his head in the ball and dribbling all the way to the end.

De Bruyne was closely marked by Portugal, who recognized his role in orchestrating the midfield.

Origi is another story; he performs quite well when things are going well, but his performance is basically a liability when things are going poorly.

Fellaini and Witsel in midfield are basically workhorses and don't contribute much to the attack.

We can only rely on ourselves to find a solution.

The good news is that Portugal's poor defense finally allowed him to build up his anger ahead of time.

Normally, the [Bee Joy Return] template requires at least 70 minutes to reach full rage.

Now it's 100% early, at 62 minutes!

All that's missing is the right opportunity!

Lu Xiao waited patiently, and the opportunity finally arrived!

Seeing that Ronaldo was posing a continuous threat, the Portuguese team decided to intensify their attack and kill the game in one fell swoop.

Postiga, Moutinho, Meireles, William Carvalho, and even the two full-backs all pushed forward.

They launched a frantic siege on the Belgian defenses.

Kompany, Vermaelen, and Courtois were under immense pressure!

"Kompany!! His header clearance was intercepted by Portugal!! Nani attempts a cross from the wing!"

Cristiano Ronaldo!!!

"A header saved by Courtois! Portugal's 12th corner kick of the match!"

Nani took the penalty from the corner flag, while Ronaldo lurked in the penalty area, ready to pounce.

Before he made his move, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Xiao's position.

Perhaps it was the sixth sense of a world-class superstar, but he always felt that Lu Xiao's prolonged silence was abnormal and that he seemed to be in great danger.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao also participated in the defense in his own penalty area, which temporarily put Ronaldo at ease.

Lu Xiao is indeed entangled with Raul Meireles.

Lu Xiao, who has grown from 181 cm to 183 cm in height, is now also a high point for air defense.

Just as Nani took the corner kick, and Lu Xiao made a powerful run to the ball,

A voice suddenly rang out from the depths of my heart!

Just like that line from the movie, "The beast that slumbered within has awakened!"

[Attack! Charge forward!]

Now is the time!

Raul Meireles and Lu Xiaola were initially grappling with each other, vying for air superiority at the far post.

Who knew that this kid would suddenly let go and charge forward into the field?

Nani didn't even take the corner kick, has this kid gone mad?

Meireles didn't think much of it.

It's good that this guy isn't defending me; if he manages to break through, I'll be the hero!

Nani takes the corner kick, and Meireles, looking pleased, prepares to jump for a header.

Cristiano Ronaldo was also fighting hard for the ball and didn't even notice Lu Xiao's position.

Otherwise, he would definitely abandon everything and rush up to defend Lu Xiao.

For a moment, all the Portuguese players were focused on the ball, and no one noticed the sprinting Chinese player.

"Nani takes the corner kick!! Ronaldo!!!"

He Wei's heart skipped a beat as he watched Ronaldo head the ball.

The next second, Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany stepped up!

He outjumped Ronaldo and headed the ball away!

Belgian fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Portuguese player looked slightly disappointed on the field, holding his head in a daze, completely unaware that a red blur darted out like lightning and rushed towards the landing point!

It's like a ferocious beast unleashed from the abyss!
