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

Things didn't turn out as Lu Xiao had expected; his joy was in vain.

However, it wasn't without its gains.

Defeating the peak Real Madrid seemed indeed very difficult, so much so that the system added extra fusion value after the victory.

Before the match, Lu Xiao saw that the fusion value was 83%. It typically increases by 1 point in crucial Champions League matches; normally it should be 84%.

However, facing immense pressure from Real Madrid, the integration value surged to 88%!

Two additional points were added after the match.

Looking at the system now, the fusion value is 90%!

"Wow, this price surge is comparable to the World Cup event!"

Lu Xiao was secretly astonished.

Unfortunately, that mysterious feeling from before didn't appear; it was as if it didn't exist.

But Lu Xiao had a premonition that if this fusion value rose to 100%,

And after awakening the third template,

The system should be updated as usual.

The updated system might have some extra features.

Lu Xiao often browses the Chinese internet, and sometimes reads online novels to relieve stress during breaks from training.

I recently saw some so-called "system articles,"

These systems often produce unexpected surprises when awarding prizes.

Lu Xiao pondered, if his system were a little more sensible and as capable as the systems in novels,

Maybe he's giving himself a surprise!

The result of this crucial match has once again shaken the European football world.

As the runner-up of the previous Champions League, Real Madrid is still widely recognized as the strongest team in terms of raw strength and is considered the biggest favorite to win the 2014-2015 season, with the hope of making up for the disappointment of last year's Champions League final.

As for Bayer Leverkusen, they have brought in a bunch of relatively unknown defenders, raising questions about their fighting ability.

Real Madrid's performance has indeed demonstrated dominance, which is frightening.

Barcelona's mouthpiece, Mundo Deportivo, had already published many articles analyzing Real Madrid before the match.

It was pointed out that Real Madrid is Barcelona's biggest enemy in winning the title.

A strong contender for the Champions League title.

If Barcelona wants to win the title in the 2014-2015 season, the only team they need to worry about is Real Madrid.

Even their arch-rivals praise Real Madrid as an invincible fleet.

It's easy to imagine that all of Europe was watching how Real Madrid would thrash Bayer Leverkusen at home.

They have a 100% home win rate this season!

Maintain a clean sheet record at home!

The first-leg loss to Bayer Leverkusen was described by Madrid media as "carelessness".

Even Bayer Leverkusen's own fans are worried, as their recent form has been somewhat inconsistent.

Their defense hasn't gelled yet, can they really beat Real Madrid?

The match proved that Real Madrid is indeed very strong.

But the result proved—

Lu Xiao is even stronger!

The concept of "Cristiano Ronaldo's nemesis" has gradually emerged.

They were originally eliminated by Real Madrid last season, but Lu Xiao eliminated Ronaldo in the World Cup and then completed a double victory in the Champions League group stage.

Facing Lu Xiao's team,

It seems really hard for Cristiano Ronaldo to win.

As a result, Lu Xiao has become the "number one enemy" of Ronaldo fans on foreign forums, Twitter, and other online communities.

Especially among Cristiano Ronaldo fans,

Lu Xiao's image is comparable to the bearded man from World War II, or Voldemort from Harry Potter.

"I hate this person so much!"

"What makes him think he can win?"

"This match was unfair! Leverkusen committed many fouls that weren't called! Ronaldo, theoretically, had at least two penalties missed!"

"Was that goal scored by the Chinese player...not offside?"

"Wasn't it offside? Why didn't the referee call it?"

"And his tackle in the first half should have earned him a card, right? At least a yellow, or even a red."

The following day, Lu Xiao returned to Bayer Leverkusen with the team from Madrid.

Continue preparing for the upcoming league matches, as well as the crucial games against Bayern Munich in the next few rounds...

Spanish journalists even followed them to the entrance of the base.

As Lu Xiao drove his Lamborghini out of the training base, he routinely signed autographs for the fans.

I just signed an autograph and took a photo with a Chinese student studying abroad.

Suddenly, I was stopped by a reporter who spoke with a Spanish accent.

"Madrid media?"

"Yes, I'm Gonzalo, a reporter from Marca. May I interview you?"

"you say."

Lu Xiao already sensed that the visitor had ill intentions, but still responded in Spanish.

"Oh?" The reporter was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Xiao speak fluent Spanish.

"It mainly concerns the last Champions League group stage match, which has generated some public opinion in Spain."

Do you consider your tackle on Ronaldo to be a foul?

In addition, what is your opinion on the referee's standards for judgment?

Objectively speaking, should Real Madrid have been awarded at least one penalty?

Are you sure you want to ask me?

Lu Xiao was amused by him.

Are Marca's reporters really that obsessed? It's one thing for their own fans to get carried away, but they insist on interviewing their opponents, even going so far as to chase them all the way to Germany.

Are you too idle?

"First of all, the referee's decision is his own to consider, so what's the point of asking me?"

If there is a real problem, appeal to UEFA and handle it through official channels.

"Also, for those of you who haven't watched the game, I suggest you watch the replay. Anyone with eyes can clearly see whether my tackle was a foul or not."

Just for your information, there's something called slow motion. With today's advanced camera technology, we can see things from different angles.

Similarly, a penalty kick that is not awarded means there was no foul.

The match is over, and we are the winners regardless. If you dare, try and defeat us in the knockout stage!

Otherwise, analyzing these things after the game feels like a sore loser.

Lu Xiao didn't mince words with the reporter, making the Spanish reporter blush on the spot.

There were also some German journalists nearby who were watching the spectacle. After understanding the conversation between the two, the German journalists couldn't help but applaud Lu Xiao's retort.

At the same time, he stared at the Spaniard with hostility.

Seeing the situation was turning sour, Marca reporter Gonzalo quickly and awkwardly took his leave.

Lu Xiao rolled up the car window and stepped on the gas.

The Lamborghini drove away amidst a frenzied roar.

The next day, when they arrived at the cafeteria, De Bruyne and Son Heung-min didn't even bother getting their food; they just grabbed their phones and came over.

"Aren't you two going to eat?"

"Let's not worry about food for now, Lu, take a look at this."

Seeing how excited the two of them were, Lu Xiao was still very curious.

Upon closer inspection,

Good guy.

The controversy surrounding the Real Madrid match not only failed to subside, but instead became the number one trending topic on Twitter.

#Lu Shaw interview

Your interview became a trending topic?

Lu Xiao took De Bruyne's phone and examined it closely.

It turns out that the journalist, Gonzalo, was unconvinced and went back to post the interview recording on YouTube and Twitter.

They also plan to launch a wave of online attacks, calling on various factions to condemn the arrogant Lu Xiao.

Unexpectedly, the comments section below, as well as other football bloggers on Twitter who followed suit, turned around and started cursing at the reporter.

"Lu is right. If there's a problem, go to UEFA or the referees. What's the use of online referees?"

"After carefully reviewing the video, Lu's tackle was not problematic."

"Cristiano Ronaldo's several falls suggest he might have been diving."

"He has a history of diving offenses, but the judges don't believe it; only his mindless, extreme fans do."

"As a Manchester United fan, I must say that Leverkusen's victory was fair and square! #JusticeDefeatsEvil"
