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

"Today is a crucial match. Have you heard of the Champions League curse?"

"certainly!"

2015, April 3.

20:15 PM Berlin time.

距离2014-2015赛季欧冠1/8决赛次回合的比赛开始，还有30分钟。

Bayer Arena, away team locker room.

Atletico Madrid, about to take the field, are conducting their final pre-match pep talk.

Head coach, "bandit coach" Simeone, clenched his fists, his face serious.

Champions League curse?

Atletico Madrid players naturally understand.

Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to defend its title.

Teams like Real Madrid (9 titles), Barcelona ("Dream Team"), and Manchester United (3 Champions League finals in 4 years)... none of them achieved that.

Barcelona's most glorious period was when they were the dominant force in European football.

Even if they were invincible, they could only win the Champions League title once every year.

The curse of failing to defend the Champions League title still lingers.

The current Atlético Madrid players have already been fortunate enough to win the Champions League.

Simone worried that if they tasted the highest honor too early, they would lose their fighting spirit.

Therefore, they have always used the experience of defending their Champions League title to motivate the players.

"Yes, we can't defend our Champions League title. But we're different; we're an army of steel!"

"So far this season, we have the best defense! We're not afraid of anyone!"

"As the defending champions, I have every reason to believe that we can break the curse and successfully defend our title!"

"Guys, can you do it?"

"Of course! Of course! Of course!!!"

Everyone in the Atlético Madrid dressing room was in high spirits, raising their arms and cheering.

Simeone is very satisfied with the team's morale.

The 1-1 score in the first leg is nothing; today, all we need to do is beat Leverkusen.

On the road to defending their title, Bayer Leverkusen is just a small obstacle that Atletico Madrid can easily overcome!

……

In the home team's locker room, Lu Xiao and his Leverkusen teammates filed out one after another.

They clashed head-on with Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid player Antoine Griezmann couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiao.

"They... look so relaxed."

Griezmann noticed that Lu Xiao was chatting and laughing with his teammates.

Compared to the atmosphere at Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid seemed much more serious.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

"Are they really confident of winning at home?"

Griezmann paused for a moment, then clenched his fists.

"No!! I won't lose to that Chinese guy again this time!"

The image of Real Sociedad being eliminated by Lu Xiao last season is still vivid in my mind.

Griezmann was also upset that Lu Xiao equalized in the last match.

Today, Atletico Madrid will leave this stadium with a smile!

……

On the other side, the Leverkusen players were also a bit flustered and not as calm as Griezmann had imagined.

"Lu, what do we do? They seem really strong on the other side."

"Yes, today is definitely going to be a tough battle."

Firmino was still shaken.

In the first leg at the Calderon Stadium, they struggled immensely to equalize.

I feel completely uncertain today.

"Don't overthink it, let's just play normally."

De Bruyne tried to comfort his teammates, but his voice was too soft and no one could hear him.

"Hey!!"

Lu Xiao shouted, attracting the attention of the entire Leverkusen team.

"Look at that group of people."

He pointed to the fans in the stands who were making a huge commotion.

The competition hadn't even started, but everyone had already been singing and dancing for almost two hours.

The fans are all trying their best to help the team.

How can players be afraid before the battle even begins?

In the die-hard fans' stands, a huge Leverkusen TIFO displayed the glory of the home ground.

In the video, Lu Xiao, a young boy from the East, smashes his bicycle kick through the net.

Under limited conditions, the TIFO created by fans actually produced some amazing results.

The entire Atlético Madrid team was stunned.

"Look how hard they're working! Their effort is definitely on par with Westfall!"

Lu Xiao was filled with heroic spirit:

"Therefore, we cannot let the fans down!"

"This is our territory!"

"Awoooooo!"

"That's right!"

"Take them down!!!"

Encouraged by the fans, the Leverkusen players finally found their form for playing at home!

The fans are like the 12 players on the field!

With them behind us, the team will have nothing to fear!

……

"Alright, Lu Xiao!!! Take a long-range shot!!"

"Holy crap!! Oblak's incredible save!!"

CCTV5 commentator He Wei almost swore.

Just one minute into the game, Lu Xiao's sudden long-range shot nearly pierced the Atletico Madrid goal.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Oblak's phenomenal performance, Leverkusen might have taken the lead in just one minute.

"Lu Xiao has a strong desire to shoot today! Let him try shooting more."

Commentator Xu Yang also noticed that Lu Xiao was in great form today!

Atletico Madrid's ironclad defense is most vulnerable to high-quality shots.

In the first leg, Leverkusen's shots were of average quality, and their attack was very difficult.

Today's hope rests on Lu Xiao.

Today is Hyuga Kojiro's debut.

Lu Xiao didn't expect his first shot to almost score!

He truly lives up to his reputation as the fierce tiger from "Captain Tsubasa"!

Lu Xiao may not have seen other works, but he watched "Captain Tsubasa" when he was a child!

Characters like Tsubasa Ozora and Kojiro Hyuga can be considered his introduction to soccer.

If you can unlock the ultimate skill [Tiger Shot],

Lu Xiao couldn't imagine how violent it could be on a real football field!

Even without any special skills, the power of this shot is already palpable!

"Guys!! Remember to pass the ball to me! I'm incredibly strong today!"

"no problem!!"

Son Heung-min and De Bruyne simultaneously gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up.

They could also tell that Lu Xiao was in great shape today!

He might be the hope of advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals!

Atletico Madrid's Griezmann also sensed something was wrong.

Griezmann almost peed his pants the moment Lu Xiao took the shot!

"My God! Is he going to evolve again?"

Compared to last season's striker who had excellent ball control but was average in all other aspects,

Griezmann feels that Lu Xiao is now on par with Messi and Ronaldo this season!

At 17 years old, in his second year in the Bundesliga, how could he achieve this level of skill?

"hateful!!"

Griezmann could already sense that today didn't look good.

Sure enough, the ominous premonition came true!

In the 19th minute of the match, Leverkusen continued their attack.

Atletico Madrid attempted to strengthen their defense in front of the penalty area, almost completely shutting down any shooting opportunities for De Bruyne, Son Heung-min, and Firmino.

Only Lu Xiao's positioning was a bit unpredictable, which surprised Simeone.

"What's going on? His off-the-ball movement isn't this strong!"

"I don't know either……"

Atletico Madrid's assistant coach was completely dumbfounded.

Previous research and video recordings showed that Lu Xiao's off-the-ball movement was only average.

Today he was almost as good as Inzaghi!

This is absolutely unbelievable!

All defensive tactics have failed!

Seeing Lu Xiao suddenly retreat outside the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's defensive midfielder Gabi failed to arrive in time.

Lu Xiao received the ball outside the penalty area, flicked it with his heel to turn, and opened up an angle laterally.

Before the Atletico Madrid players could react,

Lu Xiao suddenly kicked out with his right foot!

With a powerful pull!

boom--

The sound of the ball hitting the court almost echoed throughout the air!

Goalkeeper Oblak felt as if a cannon was firing at his goal!

The football, with immense momentum, roared into the goal!

Oblak, the "cheating" goalkeeper, didn't react at all.

His face was deathly pale!

"Goooooooooal!!!! Luuuuuu Shaaaaw——"

"World wave——"

"He's like a god descended from heaven! Unstoppable!"
