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

Welcome back to this crucial Bundesliga match: Bayer Leverkusen hosting Bayern Munich!

"At halftime, Bayer Leverkusen trailed Bayern Munich 1-2."

Lewandowski scored twice, giving Bayern a two-goal lead.

Just before the end of the first half, De Bruyne assisted Julian Brandt to pull one back for his team.

Because Lu Xiao played the entire game in two matches in one week.

And there are certain risks of injury or illness.

As a precaution, the Bayer Leverkusen coaching staff placed Lu Xiao on the bench.

Bayern Munich still holds a certain advantage at present.

We might see Lu Xiao come on as a substitute in the second half.

After all... Leverkusen needs a hero to step up!

In the past, Chinese players were all fringe members of the team.

Even East Asian players are marginalized in top European leagues.

Domestic fans simply cannot imagine it.

A Chinese player can actually become the soul of the team and its savior!

No one wanted to see Lu Xiao play more than Chinese fans.

The same goes for local Bayer Leverkusen fans.

In the stands of the BayArena, some fans have already raised up makeshift support signs.

We need Lu!

Please let Lu play!

Please bring the King back!

At this very moment, the king of this stadium is still sitting on the bench, intently watching the field.

"Lu, wait a little longer. Give the brothers some more time."

Sasha was a little embarrassed.

Lu Xiao should have been substituted on at halftime.

However, in professional matches, a substitution at halftime usually means that a player has made a major mistake or performed poorly.

The attacking trio all gave their all, and making substitutions at halftime could easily discourage them.

The coach plans to persevere for a while longer.

This is a good opportunity to test whether a team without Lu Xiao can compete with top-tier teams.

"It's alright, I can take this opportunity to observe."

Lu Xiao didn't care; time wasn't an issue.

He has a better field of vision and can better observe the situation from the sidelines.

At the beginning of his professional career, Lu Xiao was known in the Bundesliga as a "surprise substitute".

"Hey! Pass the ball! Pass the ball!!"

"Stop him!!"

"Here! Kevin!"

"Reclaim some space, don't rush in!!"

The stadium was filled with the players' shouts.

The sounds of drums, applause, cheers, and shouts from the stands at the BayArena continued unabated.

The players are fighting, and the home fans are fighting too!

everybody knows,

Today's match is crucial; whether we can win the championship depends on today!

"Kevin De Bruyne...is in excellent form today, just now he made another outside-of-the-foot through ball."

Unfortunately, Firmino missed.

"It's Bayern's turn to attack! The ball is passed to Robben! Robben, you're so fast!!! Trying to break through!"

"They've cut inside!! They're shooting straight at the goal—"

"That ball wasn't controlled quite right, it went over the crossbar. Still quite threatening!"

"It's Bayern's attack again, orchestrated from Lahm's midfield play."

After being converted from a full-back to a defensive midfielder by Guardiola, Lahm gradually found his rhythm.

Thiago... give it to Lewandowski!

"A wall-bumping combo!"

"Lewandowski - saved by goalkeeper Leno, Bayern wins their 12th corner kick of the match."

Duan Xuan's tense tone inevitably made the viewers in front of the television feel nervous.

Bayern Munich's recent relentless pressure has almost suffocated Leverkusen.

It looked like Bayern were about to score another goal.

A result of 1-3 would be terrible.

Many fans have even begun to despair.

"It's over, there's really no title this season."

"I've said it before, we should give up on the Champions League and focus on winning the league title."

"If Lukaku were here, they would definitely crush Bayern Munich."

"He's Bayern's nemesis, bring Rooney on right away!"

The fans were very anxious; if they could, they would have flown onto the field, grabbed the coach by the collar, and forced him to make a substitution.

But both coaches seemed quite calm and not in a hurry at all.

Bayern were getting closer and closer to scoring.

Bayer Leverkusen, however, struggled to threaten Neuer's goal.

Everyone was hoping that person would arrive riding on auspicious clouds to save the team from their dire situation.

A handsome young man from the East with striking eyebrows and bright eyes finally stood on the sidelines.

The Bundesliga broadcast director immediately gave Lu Xiao a close-up shot.

Even if the game is still in progress.

The Bayer Arena erupted in a deafening roar!

"Lu Shaw—"

"Lu Shaw—"

"Lu Shaw—"

Lu Xiao was practically the superstar of the concert; everyone else on stage was just a guest performer.

The real target of the tens of thousands of people buying tickets at the scene was Lu Xiao.

He waved like a rock star, which drew another wave of cheers.

Finally, it was a dead ball situation. De Bruyne, clutching his knee, gasped for breath and recovered.

Son Heung-min, standing next to him, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:

"Such a big entourage? Well, he's finally arrived."

"Yeah, it's time for Lu to step up too."

Julian Brantmer remained silent.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be the one replaced.

De Bruyne returned to the right wing, and Lu Xiao continued to play in his attacking midfield position.

As a result, the fourth official raised the light board, and the number that was replaced was number 9, Firmino!

"Oh? That's a somewhat unexpected substitution. Firmino is coming off as the lone striker; does that mean Lu Xiao is going to take his place as the striker?"

Duan Xuan was a little confused.

Lu Xiao and Firmino high-fived before Lu Xiao went on stage and, as expected, stood at the very front of the team.

Positioning further back allows you to avoid direct interference from defenders and makes shooting more flexible.

A lone striker means constantly having to deal with defenders.

Is Lu Xiao really capable?

beep—

Duan Xuan was still discussing Lu Xiao's solo striker strategy with guest Gong Lei.

The referee blows the whistle,

Leverkusen takes a free kick from their own half.

The ball was passed to De Bruyne in the attacking third.

Lu Xiao ran in from the sidelines, charging straight into the penalty area without stopping.

De Bruyne immediately delivered a lob pass into the box.

Boateng held Lu Xiao firmly, preventing him from turning around.

But at that very moment,

Lu Xiao leaned against Boateng, controlled the ball with his chest but didn't stop at his feet; instead, he turned slightly to the left.

Suddenly, he turned around and slammed the door open mid-air!

"Lu Xiao—this ball!!!"

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard!

By the time everyone realized what was happening,

Lu Xiao's volley has already found the top corner!

No?

What the heck?

Duan Xuan didn't even give an explanation immediately.

Coach Gong reacted quickly enough.

"Wow! Goal!"

"Lu Xiao!! Just 10 seconds after coming on as a substitute, Leverkusen has successfully equalized the score!!"

"2-2! The two sides are back to square one!!"

"Switching to Lu Xiao yielded immediate results!"

The entire Bayer Arena erupted in cheers!

They shouted Lu Xiao's name again in unison.

"Lu Shaw—"

"Lu Shaw—"

"Lu Shaw—"

The last time they cheered was less than a minute ago!

The replay footage is even more outrageous; it follows Lu Xiao's every move throughout.

From the moment he came on as a substitute, he jogged all the way to the penalty area, received the ball, and scored in one smooth motion!

When everyone at Leverkusen went crazy

Guardiola, however, was slumped in his chair with a blank stare.

"It's over, it's finished."
