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

The 90 minutes ended with Lu Xiao scoring twice.

Bayer Leverkusen beat Wolfsburg 2-0 away from home!

Let's take a look at the Bundesliga standings after round 4...

"Leading Bayern Munich won all four of their opening matches and have accumulated 12 points."

"Borussia Dortmund is ranked second, also with 12 points from 4 wins, but their goal difference is lower than Bayern's."

「沙尔克04，排名第3位，3胜1平积10分……」

Wolfsburg, ranked 4th, with 3 wins and 1 loss, accumulating 9 points...

Borussia Mönchengladbach, 2 wins, 2 draws, 8 points, ranked 5th...

"As for Bayer Leverkusen, they currently have 2 wins and 2 draws, accumulating 8 points and temporarily ranking 6th in the Bundesliga..."

At the beginning of the season, it's hard to tell what will happen, with a bunch of teams having the same points.

But compared to Leverkusen's Bundesliga title win last season...

Starting the new season in 6th place is indeed a bit embarrassing, especially after failing to win the first two rounds.

Bayer Leverkusen's ranking once dropped to the relegation zone.

This victory signifies the start of the "Northern Expedition"!

In post-match interviews, both Lu Xiao and De Bruyne received the highest score of "1 point" when speaking to the media.

"I'm happy to be back at the Volkswagen Stadium. I had a great time here last season."

But now I'm a Bayer Leverkusen player, and I have to give it my all to win against Wolfsburg.

It's a shame the Wolfsburg fans probably had a bad day, but hopefully they can do better this season and qualify for the Champions League next season.

The more De Bruyne says this, the more Wolfsburg fans feel, and they also want to send their regards to Wolfsburg's management.

Four days later, with De Bruyne about to participate in the Champions League, Wolfsburg could only play in the Europa League.

It's like the girl you secretly admired in school got into Tsinghua or Peking University, while you can only go to an ordinary second-tier university.

Lopsided.

……

There was no time to celebrate the league victory they had just won.

Lu Xiao only rested for half a day after the match.

Then we had to set off with the team to the other side of the strait!

The first match of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen!

Do you remember last season when Lu Xiao traveled with the team to England to face Manchester United?

Before the match, and even on the plane, the entire Leverkusen team was very nervous.

Manchester United, the Red Devils, have dominated the Premier League for the past 20 years and wield significant influence in Europe; their influence has not faded even after Ferguson's retirement.

They are still considered a top European club.

The Leverkusen players' legs were shaking during the match; they were terrified.

The match was indeed intense, but thanks to Lu Xiao's outstanding performance, Leverkusen managed a 2-2 draw away to Manchester United and a 2-1 victory at home.

Manchester United, a powerhouse in our minds, was thoroughly outmaneuvered by Bayer Leverkusen, revealing its true nature as an "inflated powerhouse."

It was after that match that Manchester United went into a slump.

David Moyes was sacked before the season was over, and the renowned manager Louis van Gaal took over for the new season.

Even now, many English media outlets still blame Bayer Leverkusen.

"...The new Champions League season is back in action, and we're about to bring you the match where Liverpool will host Bayer Leverkusen at home."

Last season in the Champions League group stage, Bayer Leverkusen maintained a record of 1 win and 1 draw against Manchester United, finishing first in their group ahead of Manchester United.

The two rounds of matches exposed Moyes's weaknesses in having a simplistic and inflexible tactical approach.

Bayer Leverkusen personally dismantled the last brick before the collapse of the Manchester United dynasty...

Now Liverpool faces this Bundesliga new champion, whose performance has been inconsistent since the start of the season.

Can they secure their first victory and break out of the group of death?

Let's take a closer look at the preview of this match...

On the plane, Son Heung-min idly flipped through The Sun, his expression resembling a famous internet meme that would later become popular: "Old man on the subway looking at his phone."

"What does Manchester United's decline have to do with us?"

"In a sense, we did give it a hard kick."

Lu Xiao smiled faintly as he looked at the scenery outside the window.

Manchester United had some hope in the Premier League at the beginning of the season, but the match against Bayer Leverkusen more or less dampened their confidence.

"Let's leave Manchester United aside for now, what about Liverpool?"

"Effortless control!"

Julian Brandt, sitting in the front row, was also restless; he was the school's most active social terrorist.

He likes to turn around from the front row and chat with the students behind him, which is a typical example of someone who gets criticized by the teacher.

"It's not easy to kick."

Van Dijk frowned.

The Dutchman played for the Scottish Celtic for two years.

Due to Liverpool FC's historical ties with Scottish football and its dominance in 20th-century football,

In the hearts of the Scots, Liverpool has always been a giant club.

Having grown up surrounded by Liverpool, Van Dijk has also paid considerable attention to the club.

Since the arrival of renowned Premier League manager Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool has seen a fresh look.

Last season, he and "God of Spaniard" Suarez dominated the field.

They almost snatched the Premier League title from Manchester City.

Although the most important player, Suarez, has left,

Liverpool still has Gerrard as their key player.

And other notable players such as Lallana, Sterling, Ricky Lambert, and Sinclair.

Sterling, in particular, poses a significant challenge to Leverkusen's defense with his speed and dribbling ability.

"I heard Emre is doing quite well at Liverpool?"

"Yes, that traitor!" Julian Brandt gritted his teeth.

Lu Xiao shook his head and chuckled silently.

"Julian, Emre was on loan anyway. We didn't make an offer, but Liverpool were willing to pay for him. There's no need to criticize others."

A midfielder who played alongside me last season, and one of the key contributors to the Bundesliga title.

Emre Can's loan spell has expired.

Bayern Munich has no immediate plans to keep him at the club, and Liverpool has made an offer.

He then joined Liverpool for a transfer fee of £1300 million.

Bayer Leverkusen brought in a bunch of players in the summer, leaving them with a tight budget and making it difficult to afford a backup defensive midfielder.

Last season's brother,

We'll be enemies in the new season.

Based on Emre Can's understanding of Leverkusen players,

Liverpool's coaching staff may make some detailed adjustments.

"Who cares? Whether Emre is here or not, we're going to win this game."

After listening to everyone's discussion for a long time, De Bruyne finally couldn't help but speak up.

"yes."

The Bayer Leverkusen players are also aware of this problem.

Group C is the group of death, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Roma all facing tough battles!

Only by winning against at least two teams can you successfully break through!

Although Bayer Leverkusen's overall strength is somewhat comparable to Liverpool's, everything will depend on their performance on the field.

……

The flight arrived in Liverpool, and the group checked into a 5-star hotel about 5 kilometers outside Anfield Stadium.

The following afternoon, the Bayer Leverkusen players arrived at Anfield in high spirits to practice on the pitch as usual.

Just as a group of people changed into their training clothes and were about to head to the court.

Julian Brandt, who was at the very front, was stunned.

Lu Xiao looked up and saw a line of eye-catching words written on the passageway leading to the stadium!

It seems to be a warning to all visiting players about the club's past glory and splendor!

This is Anfield!

This is Anfield!
