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

Chapter 216 The Confidence to Defeat Bayern!

"Don't you feel that the coach is under a lot of pressure?"

"Yes, Sasha used to laugh so much, but now she doesn't laugh at all."

"Aren't we doing great? We just won a game a few days ago! We didn't lose to Liverpool either."

On the training field,

Lu Xiao, Son Heung-min, De Bruyne and a few others gathered together and helped each other stretch.

They chatted while pulling the strings.

Head coach Sasha Lewandowski and Pyotr Hyypiä both looked preoccupied with their brows furrowed.

Bayer Leverkusen won 2-0 in the Bundesliga.

In the match against Mainz, Lu Xiao and De Bruyne each provided one assist.

Firmino, who seemed to have forgotten his shooting boots, finally found them today, scoring twice to help Bayer Leverkusen defeat Mainz 2-0.

They maintain a 6-point lead over Bayern.

They easily defeated German third-division team Magsburg 3-0 in the FA Cup, successfully advancing to the third round.

Bayer Leverkusen have won eight consecutive matches across all competitions!

Unfortunately, their winning streak ended in a 0-0 draw against Liverpool at home in the Champions League group stage.

Bayer Leverkusen secured first place in their group and qualified for the knockout stage.

This match saw a younger lineup fielded to give them experience and get them a feel for the Champions League atmosphere; key players like Lu Xiao weren't even included in the squad.

Liverpool have already secured Europa League qualification, so there's no reason for them to fight tooth and nail in this match.

The two sides agreed to a draw, concluding the Champions League group stage.

It can be said that Leverkusen remains undefeated in November so far.

The coach still showed no signs of being happy.

Perhaps their minds were always preoccupied with the "big test" against Bayern Munich.

"Lu, how are you feeling?"

"Me?"

"Yes, your condition is the key; we're all counting on you."

"Hey buddy?"

Lu Xiao glanced at his two good brothers.

Son Heung-min and Kevin De Bruyne are both destined to be key players for their respective teams.

If you two don't put in any effort, how can you expect me to carry the team all by myself?

"To be honest, we really need you."

Firmino also came over to join in the fun.

"Look, we're at best on par with Bayern, we're not confident we can crush their lineup."

You're different; you're the weight that determines whether the scales tip.

Lu Xiao never expected that Firmino, a street kid who grew up in a Brazilian slum, would speak in such a refined and literary way.

With all his teammates looking to him, Lu Xiao couldn't afford to show any weakness.

Otherwise, if the team's core players are intimidated before the battle even begins, the confidence of everyone else will be affected.

"Don't worry! We'll take it easily!"

"No problem!! Lu, you're amazing!"

"I believe in you! We can do it!"

A group of young people from Bayer Leverkusen suddenly became excited.

This drew attention from defenders such as Maguire, Van Dijk, Leno, and Lars Bender.

I don't know what they're burning.

After the noise subsided, during the ball control practice on the court,

Lu Xiao dribbled the ball past numerous obstacles.

While lost in thought, I pondered a question.

【Nagi Seishiro】【Bee Rumble】template, 3 skills per person.

And only one template can be equipped at a time.

What other tricks can they come up with?

Unless you unlock the S-rank complete form at 100% rage, that would be considered cheating.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Lu Xiao's ability increase is not significant.

It's at most slightly better; it's like an auxiliary wheel for a bicycle, serving an auxiliary function but unable to replace the bicycle wheel for propulsion.

"What kind of system is it if it doesn't have any other functions?"

Lu Xiao carefully examined the system, but apart from the [Fusion Value: 94%], he couldn't see any other clues for the time being.

It seems the new features can only be expected in a later version update after the game is 100% complete.

The last update introduced the [Assist Summoning] feature.

Hopefully, this time there will be more creative tricks.

With this in mind, Lu Xiao became even more focused on the training field, repeatedly flicking the ball left and right to get past obstacles without even realizing it.

Head coach Sasha Lewandowski, who was timing the stopwatch at the key obstacle, suddenly noticed something and glanced at it.

"Holy shit!! Lulu!! 13.15 seconds!!"

"No way?"

"What the hell?"

"My God, my God? Lu?"

Lu Xiao was still lost in thought when he came to his senses and saw the Leverkusen brothers rushing towards him excitedly.

It's like they scored a goal.

"OHHHHH——"

No, you guys what?!

What exactly happened?

It wasn't until Sasha held the stopwatch up to Lu Xiao's face that he realized something was wrong.

"13.15 seconds?"

"Yes, Lu!! You broke your best record!"

In general, the coaching staff will strictly record data and review the drills to help players adjust the details of their ball handling.

But a player's talent is ultimately limited.

The growth rate increases slowly in units of 0.001, similar to the improvement of a 100-meter sprinter's performance, where every 0.1 seconds represents a qualitative leap.

Lu Xiao's time had previously hovered around 14.20 seconds, making it difficult for him to break the 14-second barrier.

After all, the obstacles are quite complicated, and it's difficult to complete them in one go without breaking the rules.

Even if Messi were to be there in person, he would probably only be able to break the 14-second barrier at most.

Lu Xiao's dramatic improvement within two weeks is absolutely a miracle!

He was a full 0.83 seconds faster than Kevin De Bruyne, who came in second!

No wonder the Leverkusen players were so shocked.

"So, Lu, your extra practice every day is really working?"

"I want one too!"

"I want to join too!"

Players like Lars Bender, Castro, and Kissling, who previously disliked extra training, couldn't help but admire Lu Xiao's progress.

Coach Sasha, refusing to believe it, tested Lu Xiao several more times on his own.

However, Lu Xiao seems unable to find that "flow" state again, and his times have been hovering around 13.30 seconds.

It remains at a top-tier level.

Even after training ended, a group of teammates were in the locker room gossiping about female celebrities and which supermodels they had recently dated.

Lu Xiao went to the bathroom alone.

As cold water was poured over his head, Lu Xiao calmed down and carefully recalled his state just now.

While pondering systemic issues, Lu Xiao subconsciously simulated the feeling of dribbling with the ball using the "Bee Joy Return" technique.

He didn't use any cheats or cheat codes during training; he didn't use any special equipment or templates.

Can templates really affect one's own ball control?

Especially when entering a focused flow state, Lu Xiao's improvement is almost on par with the peak state of [Bee Joy Return] with 100% rage!

He is currently at most a B+ level player with a score of around 79.

In an instant, he can be upgraded to S-level strength comparable to Messi and Ronaldo!

And no cheats are needed!

"Perhaps this is where the system's true power lies?"

Can subtle influences affect one's self-image?

No wonder that when he wasn't using cheats in training, neither the coach nor his teammates realized that Lu Xiao himself was actually a noob.

Lu Xiao generally doesn't have quantitative standards, so it's hard for him to notice the details.

This incident served as a wake-up call for him.

Assuming that the support template has been used in a crucial battle, and the rage value is not yet 100%,

It is difficult to change the course of the battle with the help of the system.

Perhaps you could try to enter a state of flow and find that state?

The team wasn't very confident about Bayern at first.

But from this moment on, Lu Xiao wished he could fight Bayern Munich for three hundred rounds right now!

So what if Lewandowski joins?

What happened in Guardiola's second year?

They can beat Bayern twice last season, and they can do it again this season!
