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

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Hey!! Ronaldo!! Are you here in Leverkusen for revenge?"

"Having been defeated by Belgium in the World Cup, what are your thoughts on facing Lukashenko and De Bruyne this time?"

"What are your Champions League goals for this season?"

"Could you answer a question?"

The second match day of the Champions League group stage,

Bayer Leverkusen will host Real Madrid at home.

Before leaving the hotel for the BayArena, a group of reporters had already swarmed around the Real Madrid players at the entrance.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world's most famous football stars, is surrounded by the most people.

In theory, the hotel security should have helped clear the area and separated the reporters and players.

It's unclear what the security guards were thinking, but they stood with their arms crossed, laughing as Ronaldo was harassed by reporters, clearly gloating.

Cristiano Ronaldo, wearing headphones and with a dark expression, initially didn't want to pay attention to the group of German reporters, who were mixed in with some English and Spanish journalists.

Judging from his arrogant attitude,

A German journalist was complaining to his colleague.

"What's there to be so proud of? He's just a defeated opponent of Lu."

Cristiano Ronaldo stopped abruptly as his right foot stepped onto the bus's entrance ramp, angrily removing his headphones and returning to the reporters.

???

The German journalist was stunned and instinctively handed over the microphone.

Cristiano Ronaldo stared fiercely into the microphone, seemingly wanting to issue a challenge to someone through the reporter.

"Remember! We were the victors in last season's Champions League semi-final! This time, we'll make Leverkusen taste defeat again!"

After uttering a fiery declaration, Ronaldo angrily climbed into the bus.

The reporters were not offended at all; on the contrary, they were quite pleased, having finally managed to get some news material.

He also raised his camera and snapped photos of the bus repeatedly, capturing many shots of Ronaldo getting through the defense.

On the bus, Marcelo next to Ronaldo gave an awkward smile.

"Dude, calm down. Oh, there's no need to get angry over such an unscrupulous reporter."

"I'm not angry!"

Cristiano Ronaldo crossed his arms and turned his head away.

Marcelo's lips twitched. He wasn't angry yet? Why was he acting like a child?

He knew that Lu Xiao was Ronaldo's inner demon.

Although Real Madrid eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals last season, those two matches left Real Madrid in a very difficult position, and they almost failed to advance.

This also resulted in Real Madrid's strength being greatly weakened in the final, failing to defeat Atletico Madrid and allowing their city rivals Atletico Madrid to reap the rewards.

Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to lead Portugal to revenge at the World Cup.

As a result, they were eliminated by Belgium and even outdone by Lu Xiao, becoming the backdrop for his celebration.

Could the proud and arrogant Cristiano Ronaldo tolerate this?

I trained and worked out like crazy all summer, and my body has become a monster of muscles.

Cristiano Ronaldo's relentless training regimen is terrifying even to his teammates.

When they were drawn against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League group stage, Ronaldo finally slapped his thigh, his smile filled with ruthlessness.

"Finally, I've met them! God help me!"

With both old and new grudges settled, Ronaldo is determined to win!

Seeing his expression, Marcelo sighed helplessly.

It seems there's a reason we absolutely must win today.

Otherwise, if Ronaldo suffers another setback, who knows how crazy he'll go.

……

"It seems like Real Madrid will be a tough opponent."

"I feel like they have the makings of a champion."

"How could that be? Barcelona seems more like the champions; MSN is insane!"

"Yeah, what do we do when we run into MSN? Harry, can you defend against it?"

"I?"

Harry Maguire pointed to his nose.

It's like Benboerba being sent to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

"I'm in a tough spot too."

"Don't think like that, cheer up, guys!" Van Dyke, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

"Leaving aside the MSN duo, we must do everything in our power to defend against them."

Take the BBC for example, I believe we'll be fine!

Van Dijk is very confident in his defensive abilities. He is not afraid of any world-class superstar in a one-on-one situation, even if he is not famous yet.

At first, he looked down on Maguire.

Besides his physical gifts of height and strength, what makes Maguire qualified for Bayer Leverkusen's first team?

Slow to turn and poor agility make them easy targets for outmaneuvered by opposing forwards.

However, judging from the recent matches, when Harry Maguire plays seriously, his ability has reached the upper-middle level of the Bundesliga.

Perhaps he can become one of the world's top defenders in the future.

So much so that Van Dijk almost forgot about Rüdiger, who was recovering.

Ultimately, however hard the defense tries, it still needs the performance of the attacking third.

Chinese star Lu Xiao's performance today is crucial!

He is widely recognized as the team's soul.

As long as Lu Xiao hasn't fallen, everything can be fought again!

Van Dijk has never seen a player with such a strong personal influence, and he believes Lu Xiao's future achievements will be even greater than he imagined.

"Don't even think about it, ladies."

After changing into his battle uniform, Lu Xiao adjusted his shin guards and waited to go on stage, while jokingly teasing his teammates.

What are these people nagging about here?

Forget Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​let's just go for it!

……

"CCTV, CCTV, this is a live broadcast of the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League Group C matches."

Bayer Leverkusen, last season's Bundesliga champions and Champions League semi-finalist, will host Real Madrid, the runners-up of last season's Champions League!

The two sides have only met twice in the Champions League in recent years, with Real Madrid narrowly defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-finals last season to reach the final.

The last time was the 2002 Champions League final.

Back then, it was still the first Galácticos era. Zidane's spectacular long-range shot ended the game and helped Real Madrid win the Champions League title.

Bayer Leverkusen can only serve as a backdrop to Real Madrid's glory.

Today, the two teams will face off again!

Will Bayer Leverkusen avenge their Champions League defeat and defend their home turf?

Will Real Madrid maintain their winning streak against Bayer Leverkusen?

As the players from both teams walked out of the tunnel, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.

The starting lineup announcement has already appeared on the television screen.

"We see James Rodriguez, the Colombian star who shone brightly during the World Cup, sitting on the bench."

Other players include Isco and Illarramendi.

Toni Kroos, who was signed from Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window, has performed brilliantly since arriving at Real Madrid and is highly trusted by head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Today, Lu Xiao's position has also shifted slightly back, moving from a striker to an attacking midfielder.

I believe the midfield battle will be the most crucial part of today's match!
