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

When Gerrard saw that Chinese man break through the defense and score in an outrageous way for the third time...

He couldn't help but recall that most unforgettable night.

AC Milan's three goals were dominant, but Gerrard was confident enough to come back.

The whole team burned with steely fighting spirit and created miracles together.

But today, they conceded three goals again.

Gerrard showed absolutely no fighting spirit.

Deep down, there are only two words: despair.

"They've got it!! It's another one of Leverkusen's signature counter-attacking football!"

"Let's replay this textbook counterattack!"

At this moment, Zhan Jun had no time to feel the pain of Liverpool conceding a goal.

He was simply happy that Lu Xiao scored!

Leading by 2 goals in the first half,

Leverkusen played with ease, allowing Liverpool to control the ball and launch attacks, while they remained firmly in their penalty area, giving Liverpool no chance whatsoever.

Until the 73rd minute of the second half,

Leverkusen, like a seasoned sniper, lay prone in the snow and ice for 12 hours, becoming one with the world around them.

Until he found his target, he patiently waited for the right opportunity.

He pulled the trigger, and a bullet struck him squarely between the eyebrows!

"Look at this ball, Liverpool are in a hurry, Skrtel and Lovren both rushed in to contest the header."

Harry Maguire cleared the ball, and Lars Bender immediately passed it to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao controlled the ball and broke free from Gerrard, Lucas, and Henderson, instantly dismantling Liverpool's defense.

Coach Rodgers aims to strengthen the defense and bolster the roster.

He deliberately substituted the underperforming Sturridge with defensive midfielder Lucas Leiva.

Freeing Gerrard to play the number 10 position and allowing him to participate fully in the offense.

With Lucas and Henderson forming a double defensive midfield pairing,

Coutinho moved to the forward line to participate in the attack.

Liverpool could have created more threats with this tactical change.

In fact, their attack has indeed improved; the corner kick just now was created by their counter-attack after changing their formation.

Liverpool were on the verge of gaining momentum.

Lu Xiao's breakthrough against three opponents rendered Liverpool's midfield defense ineffective!

The primal instincts provided by [Monster Dribbling]

Lu Xiao displayed reaction speed comparable to Spider-Man, instinctively pulling and deflecting the ball to dodge, and then using a "fried dumpling" to break free from the encirclement.

He dribbled the ball forward with long strides!

Only Glenn Jensen and Moreno were there to protect him.

Firmino provided support up front, while Son Heung-min and De Bruyne pushed forward simultaneously!

4 against 2 in the frontcourt!

The next step is simple: Son Heung-min makes a high-speed forward run to disrupt Glenn Jensen's positioning.

The same applies to De Bruyne on the right; he draws Moreno's attention.

Firmino roamed ahead, repeatedly bouncing around the offside line.

While the two were speculating about who Lu Xiao was going to pass the message to,

Lu Xiao feigned a pass to De Bruyne, tricking Moreno into taking a step to the outside to defend.

He suddenly kicked me!

Pass the ball to yourself 3 seconds from now!

Moreno realized what was happening, but it was too late. Before he could even rush over, Lu Xiao had completely left him behind.

The only hope lies with goalkeeper Mignolet, whose speed is fast enough to intercept the ball before Lu Xiao can receive it.

As Mignolet rushed to the edge of the penalty area, Lu Xiao received the ball.

Mignolet could only try to lower his center of gravity and block the angle.

"Look at Lu Xiao's meticulous handling!!"

Zhan Jun clicked his tongue in amazement.

This kind of footwork, previously only seen by South American players such as Ronaldinho, Robinho, and Neymar,

Lu Xiaoxiao effortlessly manipulated it.

While dribbling at high speed, the left foot brushes over the ball, and the heel pretends to lift the ball over it.

Mignolet had to raise his center of gravity, intending to intercept with both hands raised high.

The next second, Lu Xiao suddenly pressed the ball down with his right foot.

Like playing pool, I smashed a ball.

The soccer ball bounced off the ground and precisely nutmegged the goalkeeper!

While Mignolet was still stunned, Lu Xiao had already swept past him like a gentle breeze and cleanly pushed the ball into the empty net!

3-0!

Firmino, Son Heung-min, and De Bruyne are the future stars who will shine in Europe.

This shot was entirely a foil for Lu Xiao.

Anfield has completely become Lu Xiao's personal stage!

At this stage of the match, Liverpool had no chance of turning the tide.

The broadcasting team for this Champions League match was from the English Premier League. Compared to Serie A and La Liga, Premier League broadcasts place more emphasis on storytelling.

They frequently cut to close-ups of players and the stands.

Gerrard's compassionate gaze, Sterling's helplessness, Mignolet's anguish as he clutched his head, and the almost tearful expressions of the Liverpool fans in the stands...

Last season, Suarez gave Liverpool the illusion of an impending revival.

In today's match, Lu Xiao single-handedly brought Liverpool back to reality.

The time for revival has not yet come!

"Match over!! Bayer Leverkusen have defeated last season's Premier League runners-up Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield!"

"Lu Xiao scored twice in one-on-one situations in both halves, beating the goalkeeper in the same way to tap into empty nets, completing his brace!"

"And this Chinese prodigy delivered a stunning through ball, assisting Son Heung-min to score."

"Two goals and one assist, 17-year-old Lu Xiao shines at Anfield! A great start to this Champions League campaign!"

Zhan Jun was no longer able to feel disappointed about Liverpool's loss.

Bayer Leverkusen's opening victory means they have gained an advantage in the "group of death".

In another match, Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-0.

Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen both have 3 points.

Bayer Leverkusen currently leads the group with a 3-goal advantage!

"In the next round, Bayer Leverkusen will return to the BayArena to face Real Madrid!"

"Last season, Real Madrid eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League semi-finals. Let's see if Leverkusen can avenge that defeat this time!"

Lu Xiao, surrounded by cameras, was the star of the Anfield night.

Most of the Liverpool fans had left in disappointment, leaving only the 1500 Bayer Leverkusen fans who had traveled to the stadium to applaud.

Gerrard had initially wanted to exchange jerseys with Lu Xiao, but then decided against it and led his dejected teammates back to the locker room.

Hand over the stadium completely to Bayer Leverkusen.

Before leaving, Gerrard turned back and glanced at Lu Xiao.

This young Chinese player was already quite famous last season, and his World Cup performance made him even more renowned.

In their first encounter, he offered her almost no chance of resistance.

Am I really getting old?

"Next time...it won't be like this again!"

Gerrard turned and the red number 8 legend disappeared into the shadows of the players' tunnel.

An English journalist happened to capture this moment on camera.

In front of the camera is Lu Xiao, the prodigy of Bayer Leverkusen, number 39, under the spotlight, while the number 8 behind him hints at the gradual decline of the older generation of players.

After that, it was this group of young people on the field who took over the football world!

"Bundesliga > Premier League! Champion > Runner-up!"

"I, Lu Shen, am awesome!"

"That felt so good! I'm going to brutally beat Lily!"

"Let the dogs settle down."

"Stop making noise, toilet!"

After the game, dawn broke in the east.

At 5 a.m., the sky was beginning to lighten, most people were still in deep sleep, but excited fans were still passionately arguing online.

The Dongqiudi app had already been launched and had accumulated some registered users.

The number of users gradually increased during the World Cup and is currently in the expansion phase, having accumulated a considerable number of followers on Weibo.

After the match, Dongqiudi also released their match poster.

On the right is Lu Xiao, wearing a black jersey, raising his arms in a triumphant shout.

[0-3! Conquer Anfield!]

Bayer Leverkusen's official Twitter account posted after the match: "The 'This is Anfield' tunnel sign inspired us – now this is the place of victory!"

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Bayer Leverkusen faced Liverpool away from home. Just 11 seconds into the game, Lu Xiao received a long pass from De Bruyne and scored a one-on-one goal, setting a new record for the fastest goal in this Champions League season. Lu Xiao then provided a brilliant rabona pass, assisting Son Heung-min to extend the lead. In the second half, Lu Xiao again showcased his dribbling skills, scoring twice and dribbling past five defenders, ultimately helping Leverkusen to a 3-0 away victory over Liverpool!

Lu Xiao shone brightly with two goals and one assist, while Liverpool made numerous mistakes that squandered chances. Gerrard's dejected figure became a microcosm of Anfield. With a victory in their first match of the "Group of Death," Bayer Leverkusen temporarily tops Group C on goal difference, ahead of Real Madrid!
