In just a few matches at the World Cup, Lu Xiao's fusion value has increased from 25 to 45!

Both professionally and personally, he didn't want the World Cup journey to end so soon.

For the Belgian team, the star-studded squad, valued at nearly 4 million euros, can be considered the "Golden Generation of Belgium".

It would be a bit of a shame to simply stop at the quarterfinals; at least we passed.

But who can refuse to make it to the final four?

For Lu Xiao personally

As the competition progresses, whether it's the semi-finals or the finals,

Each of these will significantly increase his fusion value!

After playing against Portugal, I gave him a fusion value increase of over 10%!

If we can defeat Belgium...

A 20% increase in fusion value in one battle is not a dream!

I'm about to unlock skill 3 of [Bee Joy Return]!

With the unlocking of the new hero getting closer and closer,

How could Lu Xiao refuse the World Cup, this super "experience room"?

Even if it's just a personal grudge, Lu Xiao can't lose to Messi.

Since Lu Xiao's phenomenal performance in the Champions League knockout stage last season, eliminating Barcelona,

Messi's extreme fans keep harassing me, sending me smear messages on Twitter every day.

It's obvious that no one takes care of it.

"Watch out at the World Cup, it'll make you cry!"

"You're just a piece of trash, go back to your XXX!"

"XXX, Fucking XXX!"

Unfortunately, the attacks from overseas netizens were still too weak.

Lu Xiao felt completely unaffected and even felt a bit like mocking the trolls' vocabulary.

What's most frustrating is that on Weibo and Twitter, there are many private messages and comments in Chinese criticizing me.

Both simplified and traditional Chinese characters are available.

Traditional Chinese characters are still understandable, but some people have extreme ideas and have been brainwashed by the West.

The simplified version clearly indicates that they are pure Messi fans; their Messi dad lost, and they still hold a grudge against Lu Xiao to this day.

Aside from the vast majority of normal people in China, or fans who really like Lu Xiao,

There is indeed a small group of people who fawn over foreigners, idolize Ronaldo and Messi, and vehemently denigrate Lu Xiao.

When a group has a large enough base, you can see all kinds of people.

Lu Xiao didn't take it to heart.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper!

Didn't you want to see Messi beat me?

If I turn the tables and beat Messi, won't you be angry?

result……

"Oh no, we're going to get thrashed by Messi, damn it."

Watching Messi, wearing Argentina's classic blue and white striped jersey and number 10, sprint across the green field, the Argentine players embraced each other in passionate celebration.

Lu Xiao could only carry the football to the center circle and place it there, waiting for the kickoff with Lukaku.

"Master Lu" appeared to be a tall, imposing, and fierce black man.

Actually, he's quite naive and adorable at heart.

She looked at Lu Xiao with a long face.

"Lu, what do we do? Are we going to lose today?"

"Romeu, come here for a second."

"What?"

Lukaku came over with a goofy look on his face.

Lu Xiao noticed that the camera lenses were all focused on Messi and the Argentine team.

The screen is probably showing Messi's celebration and Argentina's brilliant goals, so no one is paying attention to him for the time being.

Lu Xiao slapped Lukaku on the back of the head, the smooth, shiny black egg making a crisp sound.

Lukaku rubbed the back of his head, looking aggrieved.

Why did you hit me?

"Dude, the game isn't over yet! Can't you pull yourself together? Are you really willing to lose like this?"

"No... I... I'm not reconciled."

That settles it.

"But, in the first half..."

"Don't think about it."

Lu Xiao noticed that Lukaku frequently made some basic mistakes on the field, always narrowly missing out on scoring at crucial moments.

This is largely because he is easily affected by his previous mistakes.

Constantly replaying past mistakes in my mind leads to a lack of reaction time at crucial moments, resulting in poor handling of situations under pressure, creating a vicious cycle of repeated errors.

Why can Lukaku easily dominate weaker teams in the league, like a god of war?

He has the ability; he just lacks confidence.

Lu Xiao needs Master Lu to step forward and help him; he needs to pull himself together.

"Romeu, you're a world-class player. Believe me, your market value will definitely exceed 1 million euros in the future!"

"What? Impossible, how could I be worth so much..."

Lukaku believes his maximum value is only 5000 million euros, and there's no reason for him to be worth 1 million.

Currently, only Bale has a transfer fee exceeding 100 million euros. If Neymar transfers, he might also break 100 million euros.

What makes me think I can be compared to the world's top players?

Lu Xiao stared intently at Lukaku's scraggly face.

"Believe me, have I ever lied to the team?"

"Uh...no."

"That's right, I said you're worth 1 million, and you definitely will be worth 1 million in the future!"

Lu Xiao has often unintentionally revealed future predictions, and so far the accuracy rate is 100%!

Lukaku had always believed that Lu Xiao belonged to "Eastern mysticism" and admired him greatly.

Since Lu Xiao said that, does that mean he will really be a world-class striker in the future?

Watching closely, the big, dark man's bewildered eyes regained their light!

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly finding it amusing.

The future of football is so overvalued that anyone can be worth over 100 million euros. This has even fooled Lukaku.

But none of that matters, as long as my teammates can step up.

This game could still turn around!

……

The game resumed, and Argentina, as expected, retreated to their own half and began to defend.

It was Belgium's turn to launch an offensive, breaking through Argentina's impenetrable defenses and strangling them in their position.

Their defense is very similar to that of Atlético Madrid, the 2013-2014 Champions League winners and runners-up in the original timeline.

Their aggressive running created a "low-post strangulation" effect, and their relentless, dog-like marking made Belgium's attack very difficult to handle.

At the same time, the counter-attacking system centered around Messi is highly efficient.

Messi's unstoppable ball control in midfield always creates opportunities to advance the ball.

While attacking, the Belgian team also had to be wary of threats from behind, suddenly finding themselves in a difficult position.

A 1-0 scoreline is manageable, but a 2-0 defeat to Argentina is a game-changer, even for a miracle.

The question is, how do we translate it?

After careful observation, Lu Xiao discovered that Argentina, a team described by global football experts, professional players, coaches, and commentators as "unbeatable,"

It does have weaknesses.

Offensively: Over-reliance on Messi.

Messi holds a unique position within the Argentine team and enjoys absolute tactical privileges.

Head coach Sabella's strategy revolves around Messi, prioritizing passing the ball to him whenever possible.

This results in Messi having at least 70% of the ball possession for the team, and more than 70% of his touches being concentrated in the attacking 30-meter zone.

Di Maria, Higuain, Lavezzi, and others made runs and intricate arrangements around Messi; no matter how the pass was placed, it always ended up at Messi's feet.

The others were all feints.

This makes Messi an easy target.

He can dribble past opponents countless times, but what if he gets the ball stolen? That would be a golden opportunity for a counterattack!

On the defensive end,

Messi's status allows him to "not participate in deep defensive runs."

At most, they'll give it a symbolic chase, and if they can't catch up, they'll just stop and start taking a walk in place.

When Argentina's backline was under the most pressure, it was as if only nine players were involved in defense.

This is not the biggest weakness.

Argentina's biggest weakness is actually its seemingly strict discipline and high defensive intensity.

Their actual defensive tactics are very formulaic and rigid.

As long as they execute unexpected attacking combinations,

Argentine defenders Demichelis and Otamendi, among others, often showed signs of lapses in concentration.

The most classic goal was in the World Cup final, in the 113th minute of extra time for Germany.

Schürrle's pass caught the Argentine defender off guard.

Otamendi failed to mark Götze immediately, and Demichelis also made a positioning error.

This allows Götze to easily take a shot inside the penalty area.

He kicked out a World Cup champion.

The defense usually coordinates well, but huge gaps appear at crucial moments!

While the world was captivated by Argentina's apparent invincibility,

Only Lu Xiao, by utilizing his "peek into the future" advantage, saw through Argentina's weaknesses from a god-like perspective!

Look up at the big screen.

There are 20 minutes left in the game!

Let's aim for two goals in 20 minutes!

It is very difficult.

But looking at the 98% anger level and their control over Argentina,

Lu Xiao clenched his fists.

Confidence explodes like a Saiyan, burning with an unwavering belief in victory!
