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

Despite defeating Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, the Bayer Leverkusen team did not relax.

There was no holiday the next day; training continued as usual.

In the past, the players would definitely have made a scene. Especially Julian Brandt, who would have inevitably been late.

But no matter how high the training intensity or how dense the competition schedule, recently...

Lu Xiao noticed that his teammates seemed to enjoy it immensely.

Some people even arrived earlier than me.

He used to be the first one to arrive at the gym, turn on the lights, and then work out weights alone while waiting for his teammates.

I went to the gym today.

But then they saw a tall, blond middle-aged man intently lifting weights.

"Stephen? You're here so early today?"

"Good morning, Lu!"

When Kissling saw Lu Xiao, he simply smiled shyly.

"I get up early, and since I have nothing else to do, I might as well practice."

Stefan Kissling,

He was Bayer Leverkusen's main striker last season.

After Lu Xiao gradually became the core player, Kiessling was willing to play a supporting role for the team, often using his height advantage to set up the ball for Lu Xiao.

Last season, he scored 42 goals, winning the Bundesliga's "Little Cannon" title and breaking Gerd Müller's record.

Stefan Kissling's contribution is certainly undeniable.

Kiessling's characteristics are more like those of Ibrahimovic, a tall striker who likes to hold the ball at his feet.

Use your exquisite footwork to break through your own defense and shoot or pass the ball to your teammates.

In terms of physical confrontation, aerial duels, and role as a target man, he is not as good as Derdiyok, and even less so as Firmino, who is good at defensive harassment.

Firmino gradually replaced him as the starting player in the new season.

He only appeared in the German Cup and some rotation matches.

If it were any other striker, being relegated to the bench and relegated to the water fountain would probably have made a move to leave long ago.

Kiessling is down-to-earth and low-key, and doesn't like to cause trouble. His only hobby outside of the competition is cooking.

In addition, Leverkusen is the club he has been with throughout his career; it's the club he has played for throughout his entire professional career, and he is reluctant to leave it.

All Kiessling can do is try his best to become stronger and earn a starting position.

Kissling, who is 30 years old this year, is still working hard quietly.

Lu Xiao could only say,

This is perhaps a true reflection of the vast majority of professional players.

If he hadn't changed history, Kiessling would have been like any other professional player, working his whole life without ever winning a top-flight league title and without much influence in the football world.

If you're lucky, you might make it into the national team for a game or two and secure a spot in the World Cup.

If you're unlucky, you won't even have the chance to be remembered and will disappear into the annals of football history.

Lu Xiao was very fortunate to have a cheat code that helped him rise to fame within a season and enter the world of football.

Otherwise, if they are expelled by Bayern Munich, they will have to struggle in a small team in the second division.

He might not even be as good as Kiesl.

"Seriously, Lu."

Kissling stopped using the equipment and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the gym, looked intently at Lu Xiao.

"I am so grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I probably would never have ever touched a salad bowl in my life."

"You deserve a lot of credit last season... Keep it up, Stefan, let's try to win the championship this season too!"

"Do you mean the league? Or the cup competition?"

"What if I meant all the champions?"

"Haha, as expected of you."

Keeslin could tell that Lu Xiao wasn't joking.

He was envious; Lu Xiao was still young and had enough drive to try to pursue his dreams.

Moreover, Lu Xiao will inevitably leave Bayer Leverkusen in the future and move on to a world-class club.

That dream of winning the Champions League really needs to be realized as soon as possible.

While Lu Xiao is around!

"What are you talking about, you seem so happy? Are you talking about a model? A female celebrity?"

"You think we're all like you?"

Julian Brandt, that clown, came in, followed by other team members.

The gym quickly became much busier.

It's clear that after defeating the formidable Atletico Madrid,

Leverkusen's entire team is brimming with confidence!

They are no longer the insecure "Bundesliga minnows", but the "Bundesliga defending champions"!

A team that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the major leagues!

"By the way, what about tonight's lottery?"

"It doesn't matter anymore, even Atletico Madrid is no match for us now... All I want to say is, bring on Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Chelsea!"

Julian Brandt puffed out his chest, looking incredibly smug.

"If you really get drawn against Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​just don't cry."

"I was just kidding, please give me a good fortune slip."

Julian Brandt immediately backed down after being teased by Captain Rolfes.

His comical expression amused the whole team.

To be honest, drawing a weak team would guarantee a place in the Champions League semi-finals.

Who would be willing to fight tooth and nail against a strong team?

Unfortunately, things rarely go as planned in most parts of the world.

「企鹅体育讯，首都时间3月14日晚19时（欧洲中部时间3月13日中午12时），

The decline of Premier League teams and the unexpected rise of Ligue 1 have surprised many fans.

According to the Champions League draw rules, there is no avoidance principle in the draw for the quarter-finals of this Champions League, meaning teams from the same league or group could potentially face each other.

Furthermore, this draw will directly determine the matchups for the semifinals and finals.

The recently concluded Champions League Round of 16 matches produced many classic battles.

However, Pogba's long-range shot in stoppage time secured a dramatic victory for Juventus, allowing them to narrowly advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.

They became the last remaining team in Serie A.

Borussia Dortmund were unfortunately eliminated.

The team has suffered from an increase in injuries and a decline in player form this season, coupled with the departures of Götze and Lewandowski.

Head coach Jurgen Klopp is likely to suffer a blow, stating in a press conference that he will resign as Borussia Dortmund's head coach at the end of the season...

……

The most anticipated match of this year's Round of 16 knockout stage

The most anticipated match is between defending champions Atletico Madrid and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.

In the first leg at the Calderón Stadium, Atlético Madrid demonstrated their unstoppable defensive prowess to the world.

The 1-0 score remained until the very end, giving Leverkusen no chance.

However, the excellent free-kick combination between the young Chinese player Lu Xiao and De Bruyne created the only opportunity in the penalty area, successfully equalizing for Atletico Madrid!

Back at the BayArena, the media and fans predicted a close defensive battle before the match.

Atletico Madrid's defense remains the best in Europe this season, boasting the most clean sheets in the Champions League.

However, the second leg of the match took everyone's surprise!

Young player Lu Xiao has completely exploded! Three world-class goals that shocked the world, and three long-range cannon shots that pierced through the most solid walls!

The match turned into a one-man show by Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao's amazing hat trick,

以戏剧化的方式3-0结束战斗，总比分4-1强势带队晋级8强！
