Welcome back to the long-awaited match day!

Dear viewers, I believe you are all immersed in the joy of winning the World Cup.

But that was a month ago!

Starting today, the Bundesliga is about to reignite!

The new season has begun!

German television commentator Mehmet Sauer was extremely excited.

More than a month without a match was like being in prison.

Commentating on matches is less of a job and more of a passion for him!

Especially when commentating on Leverkusen's matches,

Lu Xiao's performance has garnered widespread attention throughout Germany.

……

Before the match, many media outlets were already making a fuss about Lu Xiao.

For example, the Munich Evening News predicted that Lu Xiao, a second-year Bundesliga player, might find it difficult to replicate his outstanding performance from last season.

"As we all know, players who have a brilliant performance in their first season usually have a very difficult second season."

"A tall tree catches the wind."

Munich-based columnist Eric quoted a German proverb to allude to Lu Xiao's current predicament.

"This situation is generally called the rookie wall, and there are too many examples of it in football."

Their performance last season and their outstanding performance in the World Cup are easy to analyze.

It's safe to say that during the preseason preparation period, the coaching teams of all the Bundesliga clubs have thoroughly analyzed Lu Xiao.

His weaknesses are also easily exposed and can be targeted by his opponents.

Therefore, the new season will be the real test for him!

Furthermore, players who perform well in the World Cup often struggle to perform well in the subsequent league matches.

This condition is often called the FIFA virus. After a busy season, Lu Xiao has hardly had any rest.

It would be normal for him to have a poor performance in the new season. Under the influence of these two factors, we have reason to believe that Bayern Munich will become the king of the 2014-2015 season and return to the Bundesliga throne!

After a season of adjustment and integration, Guardiola's team, led by the six-time champion coach, will surely be making a run for the Grand Slam...

This column in the Munich Evening News has caused quite a stir on the internet.

After all, there are quite a few people who dislike Lu Xiao.

Last season, Bayer Leverkusen practically thrashed all the Bundesliga teams.

Lu Xiao has incurred a lot of resentment from rival fans.

Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund, and their biggest rival Bayern Munich,

Several fan groups even began to form an alliance in the media to jointly attack Leverkusen fans, resembling the six major factions besieging the Bright Summit.

Bayer Leverkusen fans are stunned.

We've become villains after just one summer apart?

The commentary articles about Lu Xiao are regarded as gospel by other fans.

Everyone was expecting Lu Xiao to hit the "rookie wall" and quickly fall from grace in his second year.

Only then can Leverkusen lose its core player and collapse, allowing the Bundesliga to return to its proper structure.

Schalke and Wolfsburg fans, in particular, would rather their own teams never see any hope than drag Bayer Leverkusen down with them.

Thanks to much publicity and discussion, Lu Xiao was already under the watchful eyes of countless people even before the match began.

Just in time for the start of the new Bundesliga season,

German Super Cup!

Last season's Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen face off against last season's German Cup champions Bayern Munich!

……

Back on the court, commentator Scholl and guest Kahn chatted for a while about Lu Xiao's "rookie wall,"

Both teams are ready, and the match has officially begun!

Both teams made some personnel changes in the summer.

Bayern Munich signed their star striker from rivals Borussia Dortmund in the summer.

The signing of Lewandowski will be a major boost for Bayern Munich!

With the addition of Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso's transfer, Bayern Munich's strength across all three lines has been greatly enhanced.

Bayern Munich may challenge for the Bundesliga title in the new season and reclaim their rightful glory.

"And look at Bayer Leverkusen, they've really gone crazy this summer!"

Scholl laughed; Leverkusen's summer transfer activity had indeed made quite a stir.

But they didn't make a heavyweight signing like Lewandowski.

Bayer Leverkusen has a lot of transfers, but they all seem to be minor.

The only truly significant transfer was De Bruyne's signing for 2200 million euros.

Other signings seem to have gone largely unnoticed.

"Bayer Leverkusen has brought in Kevin De Bruyne, Hoffenheim striker Roberto Firmino, and Stuttgart center-back Antonio Rüdiger, all of whom are familiar to Bundesliga fans."

As for defenders Harry Maguire, Dutch forward Virgil van Dijk, and Nathan Aké, as well as loaned Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and loaned Atlético Madrid player Saul...

To be honest, I didn't understand these player signings.

Everyone was initially looking forward to Leverkusen bringing in big-name stars after winning the championship, gradually becoming a powerhouse club.

The result was the same old routine.

Sell ​​unknown players once they prove their worth, thus maintaining financial balance.

"That's understandable."

Kahn explained for Leverkusen:

"After all, we have strict investment restrictions and a strict fiscal system,"

Apart from Bayern Munich, few Bundesliga teams can afford to spend money as lavishly as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Signing unknown players and hoping for a lucky draw might be their only way to survive.

The only question is, will Leverkusen be able to claim the prizes from these "lottery tickets" they've drawn?

Based on the results of Bayer Leverkusen's preseason friendlies

It seems their performance wasn't very good.

The addition of several players has led to a certain degree of lack of chemistry across all three lines of the team.

Despite their strong offensive firepower, their defense is also prone to collapse.

Bayer Leverkusen's narrow draw against a third-division German team in a pre-season friendly reflects the team's lack of form.

Lu Xiao's performance, in particular, was mediocre; he didn't do anything worthwhile.

No wonder he was questioned by a columnist in the Munich Evening News.

"This game is all the rage!"

……

95 minute later.

"Match over!! Bayern Munich defeats Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 to lift the German Super Cup trophy!"

They finally got their revenge for being swept twice last season!

Robert Lewandowski, former Borussia Dortmund striker and now Bayern Munich's star striker, is in superb form.

He capitalized on two consecutive opportunities inside the penalty area, demonstrating his undeniable all-around ability!

Bayern Munich this season seems a bit terrifying!

"On the other hand, Leverkusen exposed most of the problems we mentioned before the match."

The major rotation of the defense led to frequent miscommunications, giving Bayern Munich a series of shooting opportunities.

De Bruyne doesn't seem to have found his rhythm yet, and Son Heung-min also hasn't been performing well.

Let's look at Lu Xiao, the team's most crucial player.

He seemed to be really struggling with the rookie wall, barely getting the ball anywhere throughout the game.

Every move was anticipated by Bayern's defenders.

Guardiola clearly did his homework and made many detailed arrangements for Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was certainly not entirely without merit.

He contributed Leverkusen's only three attacks.

Unfortunately, he failed to score against Neuer in any of his three dribbling attempts.

Today, Neuer transformed into Spider-Man, displaying incredible bravery in making and defending against attacks…

……

In the locker room, Bayer Leverkusen lost their first official match of the season.

People's spirits weren't too low.

It's just a Super Cup, a meaningless tournament.

The locker room remained the same as always.

Lu Xiao sat alone on the bench, his head covered with a bath towel, lost in thought.

Good news: The fusion value has exceeded 65%!

It surged dramatically during the World Cup, and is about to break the 75% mark.

We're not far from achieving 100% template extraction.

bad news:

Their weaknesses have been thoroughly analyzed by their Bundesliga opponents!
