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

who am I?

where am I?

For a moment, Lu Xiao lost all sense of time.

All the surrounding noise seemed to be covered by a transparent dome, and only a faint buzzing sound could be heard.

The scene seemed to become blurry, making it impossible to distinguish east from west.

"What's that sound? Is it a football match? It looks really lively."

"I remember the World Cup being the only time it was this exciting, with everyone watching the games and talking about football everywhere."

"He probably stayed up all night watching the game. He has to go to work the next day. Those damn capitalists, all they know is checking attendance and exploiting their employees."

"Forget 996, it's 9127 now!"

"What game are we watching? I'm so sleepy!"

"I'm so tired... I just want to lie down and take a nap."

"Wait! It's not over yet! I can't lie down!"

Just as Lu Xiao was about to close her eyes,

A sudden, alarming voice echoed in Lu Xiao's mind, and he regained his composure!

Yup!

I'm not a football fan! I'm not some kind of wage slave!

I'm a professional player!

Moreover, this is the 2014 Brazil World Cup!

I'm a player for the Belgian team, and our opponent is Portugal, and it's Cristiano Ronaldo!!

I--

It's Lu Xiao!

In an instant, my mind cleared up!

The surrounding noise and hazy scenes became clear!

In Lu Xiao's eyes,

The football, which was originally moving in slow motion in the air, turned into lightning and spun into the corner of the goal!

The Portuguese goalkeeper could only helplessly lift the ball, unable to reach it from his distance!

The entire stadium erupted like a volcano, bursting into deafening cheers!

"Did that ball go in?"

"It's in!!!"

"Could it be...?"

I glanced at the scoreboard instinctively.

Belgium 2-2 Portugal

At this moment, the number has changed from 2 to 3!

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle.

Goal stands!

"Lu Xiao—the game-winning shot!! The game-winning shot!!!"

"The final minute of the match, stoppage time in stoppage time!"

"De Bruyne assists Lu Xiao, who volleys home the winning goal!!"

"Belgium won!! Lu Xiao's hat trick!!!"

The emotions that had been suppressed for 20 minutes suddenly erupted.

He Wei no longer cared about neutrality or objective commentary!

He just wanted to cheer Lu Xiao on!

Even if he ends up like Huang Jianxiang, He Wei still wants to sincerely congratulate Lu Xiao on this goal!

"This is football! This is the purest charm of this competitive sport!"

"Lu Xiao showed the world what it means to never give up! He personally demonstrated what true perseverance is!"

"This 17-year-old Chinese boy represents the excellent qualities and traditions of our nation!"

"At this moment, he is not fighting alone!"

In his excitement, He Wei inevitably quoted a famous line from his senior, Huang Jianxiang.

"At this moment, every Chinese football fan watching on television, and countless people who are working hard on their football journey, are all focusing their efforts on Lu Xiao!"

"In the World Cup knockout stage, a Chinese player scored a hat-trick, turning the tide and securing a last-minute victory against Portugal!"

Leading Belgium to the World Cup quarterfinals!

"Lu Xiao is currently at the top of the World Cup scoring charts! His seven goals give him a commanding lead!"

In a single World Cup, he scored 7 goals in only 3 matches, and even had to rest in one of the group stage matches.

The terrifying offensive firepower will ignite the world after this match!

It's worth noting that Thomas Müller, the Golden Boot winner at the 2010 South Africa World Cup, only scored 5 goals throughout the entire tournament.

In the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, Golden Boot winner Klose only scored 5 goals!

The last time someone scored more than 7 goals,

He was Ronaldo, the striker who won the 2002 World Cup, at his peak!

His eight goals were unparalleled, and he won the Ballon d'Or that year.

Lu Xiao scored 7 goals in 3 games, it's terrifying to think about!

While He Wei was shouting in front of the TV, his voice cracked, it was already dawn in the East, 6 a.m.!

Countless fans got up at 4 a.m. to watch the game.

Not sleepy at all,

Whether it was Lu Xiao's lightning-fast opening goal or Ronaldo's tenacious comeback,

All of these things cause one's emotions to fluctuate.

It seemed that Lu Xiao and Belgium were about to be eliminated by Ronaldo.

At the crucial moment, Lu Xiao made a solo run to equalize the score, and in stoppage time, he received a brilliant pass from De Bruyne and scored the winning goal in stoppage time!

Who could possibly sleep like this?

At 6 a.m., sanitation workers should be working silently and diligently on the streets.

Everyone else was deep in sleep.

Some working people who need to commute early get up to wash and get ready, fighting off their sleepiness.

However, countless bars and late-night food stalls remained bustling with activity.

Countless residential communities lit up their homes.

Cheers from all over the land soared through the clouds and converged!

The atmosphere at the Brazil World Cup was electric.

The players in red on the bench charged onto the field like a zombie horde, their faces contorted in rage.

It's just the round of 16, but everyone is celebrating like they've won the championship.

Even if the game isn't officially over yet, even if there are still tens of seconds left in stoppage time,

The moment Lu Xiao scored the winning goal, Portugal was already doomed.

The player in white collapsed to the ground, covering his face and weeping bitterly.

This contrasted sharply with the red-clad players celebrating around them.

Especially Lu Xiao, the absolute hero of today, the miracle man with a hat-trick, and an absolute superstar with 7 goals leading the world's top scorers list.

Lu Xiao is truly the center of attention.

He couldn't even celebrate; before he could run out, his Belgian teammates excitedly lifted him up and tossed him into the air!

"Hey! Put me down!"

My teammate has lost his mind and can't hear what he's saying at all.

"Lu!! Lu!! Lu!!"

"Lu!! Lu!! Lu!!"

"‌Campione‌, ‌Campione‌! Ole, Ole, Ole..."

"‌Campione‌, ‌Campione‌! Ole, Ole, Ole..."

Oh shit!

Is it really that exciting to just advance to the quarterfinals?

It's not like we won the championship!

Lu Xiao initially tried to struggle down, but later simply gave up, letting his teammates mess around and toss him into the air at will.

Above the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil

Sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes near...

……

Lu Xiao: "..."

Cristiano Ronaldo: "..."

"Well..."

"Don't get cocky, kid, this is just the beginning!"

"Sure, let's play another one in the Champions League next season!"

"That's right!! I definitely won't lose to you next time!"

After the celebration, the referee, out of sympathy, gave Portugal an extra minute of added time.

Unfortunately, they lost their spirit and were unable to continue creating miracles.

In a place where no one was paying attention, just a few seconds after they kicked off, the referee had already blown the whistle to end the game.

Portugal has been eliminated, while Belgium has advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals!

The Belgian players' euphoria after scoring has subsided.

Right now, they're just shaking hands and celebrating on the field.

Lu Xiao shook hands and hugged his teammates one by one, but when he looked up, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were slightly red, as if he had just been crying, and he looked at Lu Xiao as if he were looking at an enemy.

But soon after, Ronaldo took the initiative to issue a challenge, then turned and left with a reluctant expression.

Neither of them suggested exchanging jerseys.

It was like two elementary school students having a competition; whoever suggested exchanging jerseys first would lose.

"Hello!"

Lu Xiao took two steps when he suddenly heard Cristiano Ronaldo calling from behind.

"What's wrong?"

He thought Ronaldo had conceded defeat.

To everyone's surprise, Ronaldo simply pursed his lips, glanced to the side, and said casually:

"Don't lose to that Messi guy."

Lu Xiao: ? ? ?

Do I need you to remind me?

Who wants to lose to him!

Lu Xiao didn't reply, just glanced at Ronaldo, then turned around and went to celebrate the victory with his teammates!

We are the top eight!

Cristiano Ronaldo stood there, staring blankly at the Chinese boy's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Only then did he turn around to comfort his disappointed teammates.

"This guy..."

I thought Messi was my lifelong rival!

Now it seems that Messi is no longer important.

Cristiano Ronaldo's true rival has now gained another one: Lu Xiao!
