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

"Ouch!!"

"What are you kicking?"

"Come on, Cavani!! You haven't even made it in yet?"

"Lavezzi?! What's he doing?!"

April 22, 2015, Champions League match day.

There are 23 hours left until the second leg of Real Madrid vs. Bayer Leverkusen.

The entire Leverkusen team gathered in the conference room of a five-star hotel in Madrid.

Watch the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona match together.

On the other side, Bayern Munich leads Arsenal 3-0.

The outcome of the match was almost decided.

Arsenal's history is marked by three years with Bayern Munich and five years with Barcelona; these two teams have always been Arsenal's strictest fathers.

The first round was just an accident.

In the second leg at the Allianz Stadium, Arsenal felt the pressure of the team's bloodline.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bayern Munich should easily advance to the Champions League semi-finals and face Juventus.

Leverkusen players are more focused on the other match.

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

In the first leg, the two sides drew 1-1 at Camp Nou.

Paris Saint-Germain boasts three top strikers: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ezequiel Lavezzi, and Edinson Cavani.

In addition, there are strong midfielders such as Pastore, Motta, Matuidi, and Cabaye.

And Italian midfield prodigy Verratti, former AC Milan defensive stalwart Thiago Silva, former Chelsea defender David Luiz...

Logically speaking, they should indeed be able to compete with Barcelona.

If Paris Saint-Germain wins

Wouldn't Bayer Leverkusen easily advance to the Champions League final?

Lu Xiao's teammates are all cheering for Paris Saint-Germain.

As a result, on their home turf,

Barcelona proved to the world why they are the biggest favorites to win this World Cup.

MSN's unstoppable attack in the frontcourt was devastating.

Add to that the classic "Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets" trio of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets, and you have the core midfield configuration of the Spanish dynasty.

The established passing and possession system left PSG helpless, and they were thoroughly thrashed by Barcelona on their home turf, with no chance to fight back.

Seeing Ibrahimovic struggling alone up front and easily broken up by Barcelona's defensive formation,

Harvey orchestrated several plays, and the MSN trio delivered an outstanding performance in the frontcourt.

With a 3-0 lead over Paris Saint-Germain by halftime, the outcome of the match was effectively decided early on.

"Stop looking."

Fearing it would affect morale, head coach Sasha turned off the television and kicked the players out of the meeting room.

"Go relax and get a massage. We'll do a detailed review of the match after it's over."

"That's right. We need to focus on playing well in our current match first, and get past Real Madrid before we talk about Barcelona."

"Get some rest, there's a tough battle ahead tomorrow."

Sasha and Hyypia worked together seamlessly, dispersing the Leverkusen players with just a few words.

Seeing Barcelona like this, everyone is starting to have doubts.

Can we really beat Barcelona?

It does look very strong.

"Lu, what do you say?"

"I?"

Lu Xiao scratched his head.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Barcelona is very likely to be this year's champions."

According to the original timeline, in the 2014-2015 season, Barcelona won the treble, and MSN was invincible.

Even Lu Xiao said so, making the Leverkusen players even more desperate.

However, Lu Xiao changed the subject.

"But we haven't even played yet, and Real Madrid is still the favorite to win the title. They even thrashed Barcelona in the first El Clásico."

Real Madrid won 2-0, we beat Real Madrid 3-0.

Rounding up or down, wouldn't we be 5-0 against Barcelona?

"this……"

De Bruyne, Son Heung-min, Kimmich, and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

I felt that something about what Lu Xiao said was wrong, yet it also made a lot of sense.

"Don't even think about it. What if Real Madrid pulls them off a comeback? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing for us?"

"That's right!"

In the end, it was Captain Rolfes who stepped forward.

"Lu is right, we just need to play well in tomorrow's game."

Lu gave us a 3-goal lead.

We absolutely have to win tomorrow! We'll talk about the semifinals later!

"Damn it, is it still just a little short?"

Bernabéu Stadium.

Real Madrid vs. Bayer Leverkusen.

The moment Lu Xiao stepped onto the court, he understood what it meant to be "drowned by the spit of one person."

Anyone who has played professional football knows that...

The pressure of playing away games is immense; you have to constantly endure the insults, boos, and jeers from away fans.

It is relatively close to the sidelines.

Look up and you'll see a row of enthusiastic fans giving you the "international friendship gesture."

The middle fingers almost form a forest.

As far as I can remember, there will be a Chinese Super League match in the next few years.

After the Shenzhen players provoked the Dalian fans,

Tens of thousands of fans at the Dalian home stadium chanted in unison, "Baihelamu, I XXXX!!"

That kind of scene is too much for most people to handle.

If the Chinese Super League is like this, one can only imagine how much more deeply rooted the football culture is and how much more passionate the fans are at the Bernabéu Stadium.

"Bayer Leverkusen number 39, Lu Shaw..."

When the Bernabéu DJ introduced himself...

Lu Xiao felt like she was going deaf for a moment, and had a suffocating feeling.

"Boooooo——"

Nearly 8 people at the scene booed Lu Xiao simultaneously.

From the moment Lu Xiao appeared on stage, the insults never stopped.

If it were any other rookie player, being scolded like that would probably ruin their entire game.

Lu Xiao, however, seemed to ignore it, his expression remaining unchanged.

"As expected of a player with a big heart, Lu always manages to score crucial goals in key matches. His excellent performance may be one of the secrets to his success."

Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor praised it.

In reality, Lu Xiao was simply checking his fusion value.

"Only 24? He didn't even play in the last Bundesliga match, and they didn't give him any points! The system is so stingy."

Lu Xiao was still hoping to get a little more to reach the 25% threshold.

That way we can deal with Real Madrid.

It seems the new skill can only be used against Barcelona.

"Sorry, Real Madrid, you're not so lucky."

Today, Lu Xiao did not wear the [Lai Chang] talisman, and the other B-level and C-level templates were not very effective against Real Madrid.

After much deliberation before the competition, Lu Xiao chose a template that surprised even himself.

Former FIFA World Player of the Year, 2006 World Cup champion, captain of Italy, and former world's best center-back.

Cannavaro!

"Lu, today's tactics may require you to take on more defensive duties, and you need to freeze Modric."

Can you do it?

As long as Real Madrid's midfield engine is neutralized.

The BBC combination would then be unable to exert its power.

Based on their experience from the first match, Leverkusen's strategy against Real Madrid can be described as highly targeted.

"Of course! Leave it to me!"

Lu Xiao took the lead without hesitation.

Neither coach expected Lu Xiao to be a particularly strong defender.

All we need to do is disrupt Modric and Toni Kroos's passing game a bit more.

The rest of the defense can be left to the backcourt.

They didn't expect Lu Xiao to be serious!

They've even brought out [Cannavaro]!

The game had just started,

The moment Modric dribbled forward, he felt immense pressure from the side!

"What is this?"

World-class midfielder Modric has never seen such pressure before!

A gust of wind swept past,

In the blink of an eye, the ball beneath his feet had vanished!

Turning back, Lu Xiao was already dribbling the ball towards his own half!

Less than 4 seconds into the game, Real Madrid launched an attack in the attacking third!

Years later,

Modric has recalled this scene countless times, and he still can't figure out how Lu Xiao managed to steal the ball!
