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

It's time to come!

The Champions League semi-final, the most important battle of the season, is just around the corner.

Lu Xiao felt that the small city of Leverkusen was almost bursting at the seams.

On the way to the base, you can see many groups of tourists wandering around aimlessly.

Leverkusen is not a typical tourist city.

Aside from watching the game, I can't imagine who else would come here to have fun.

Catalan fans who traveled all the way from Spain,

Fans from all over Europe flocked to join the excitement.

There were even Chinese fans who traveled from their homeland thousands of miles away to cheer for Lu Xiao.

The day before the match, Lu Xiao accompanied coach Sasha to the press conference.

The fan shop outside the Bayern Arena,

Lu Xiao could still see the long queue stretching as far as the eye could see.

"So many people are buying jerseys?"

"Of course!"

The driver used to work in the fan shop hauling goods, so he knew a lot about it.

"These are all from people who bought your jerseys."

"My jersey?"

Lu Xiao was somewhat surprised that the number 39 jersey of a non-elite team was so popular.

"Yes, your number is frequently out of stock. This season, your jersey sales are far ahead of the competition."

Lu, my child just happened to snag one of your jerseys.

"Would it be possible to sign his jersey?"

"Of course, of course."

Lu Xiao rose to prominence too quickly.

Their mentality is still stuck in the youth training era, and they have never had the awareness of becoming a superstar.

When I saw so many people fighting over my jersey...

Lu Xiao finally feels like a world-class superstar.

……

The press conference was attended by many Spanish media representatives.

They appeared aggressive and arrogant.

La Liga has dominated in recent years and can be called the "number one league".

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid dominate the league, and the English Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A cannot compete with them.

No wonder these Spanish journalists are so arrogant and domineering.

The question was very sharp.

I asked about everything from the coaching staff's tactical arrangements, the team's recent injury situation, Champions League goals, and Lu Xiao's performance.

"The next question is for player Lu Xiao. This is a reporter from World Sports Daily..."

Lue, you're about to face the world's best offensive duo, MSN. What are your expectations for this match?

What kind of question is this?

Lu Xiao was taken aback by the reporter's question.

"Of course we want to win. We need to beat Barcelona at home. That's all we expect."

"As I just said, MSN is the best attacking trio in the world, and Barcelona's overall midfield strength is also the best in the world."

The combined value of the entire team is three times that of Bayer Leverkusen.

Furthermore, according to expert predictions, Barcelona is the biggest favorite to win the title this season.

The probability of advancing to the finals is over 70%.

What are Bayer Leverkusen's chances of winning? Do they have any special tactical plans against MSN?

The chubby reporter, microphone in hand, raised his chin with an arrogant expression.

The ambiguous smile seemed to say:

What do you have to beat Barcelona with?

Ms. Hannah, the press officer standing next to her, frowned slightly and whispered a reminder:

"Lu, you don't need to answer. Just give a perfunctory reply."

She was worried that Lu Xiao would be angered by this question, which was based on some inexplicable sense of superiority.

Lu Xiao wasn't angry; in fact, she almost laughed.

"I remember, last season in the Champions League quarterfinals, we eliminated Barcelona."

If we can beat Barcelona, ​​we have a chance to beat them a second time.

If football matches are only judged by player value, then there's no point in playing them; they might as well be turned into a card game where players compare stats.

The charm of this sport lies in the unpredictability on the court.

Barcelona's past results only show that they played well in the past.

"When they face Bayer Leverkusen, anything can happen."

Although Lu Xiao spoke calmly, the subtle sarcasm was quite evident.

The German journalists present chuckled to themselves upon hearing this.

The Catalan journalist's expression shifted, and he quickly sat down, embarrassed.

His questions were devoid of any technical sophistication; they were purely attempts to flaunt Barcelona's superiority and force Lu Xiao to surrender without a fight.

But the last person he should have asked was Lu Xiao.

Of the entire Bayer Leverkusen team, Lu Xiao has the strongest fighting spirit against Barcelona!

He's been waiting for this day all season!

The opponent is the original timeline's Champions League champion!

I'm going to take down the elite!

At Barcelona's press conference, Enrique and Xavi were equally confident about the match.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique made a confident statement on stage:

"Tomorrow is an important match, but I believe the team will do everything in its power to defeat Leverkusen and advance to the final without any doubt."

"We respect each other very much, and Lu is an outstanding young man. We have made sufficiently detailed arrangements for them."

Furthermore, Barcelona boasts a group of the world's best players, with each position being the strongest in the world.

I believe tomorrow could be a resounding victory.

Enrique's interview was relatively subtle.

Harvey didn't have as many concerns.

"At least 3-0, Barcelona can score more than 3 goals away from home."

Why? Because we have the best offensive combination and the most coordinated team.

No team is more cohesive than Barcelona.

Harvey fired the first shot in the battle.

The media never expected that Harvey, who looks honest and simple with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would make such a scathing statement.

My pre-match prediction was a 3-0 victory.

Leverkusen players, of course, were not to be outdone.

During an interview on German television, De Bruyne's temper was also ignited.

"I admire Xavi and I admire Barcelona's football philosophy."

But they had won too much before, and they were too proud.

Since no one taught them to be humble,

Let Bayer Leverkusen teach this lesson!

……

The Champions League semi-final is heating up! Lu Xiao: We've beaten Barcelona before, and we can do it again.

Xavi makes a bold prediction for the first leg of the semi-final, and De Bruyne responds online!

Messi: Barcelona's goal is to win the title, and they won't stop here.

Before the match even started, fans from both sides were already arguing wildly on Twitter.

"Come on, Barcelona! You are the champions!"

"MSN is invincible! No one can defeat it!"

"Avenge our loss to Leverkusen, beat them 5-0!"

"With such a strong Barcelona squad, how can tiny Bayer Leverkusen possibly win?"

"You have Messi, we have Lu Xiao, it's really hard to say who will win!"

"We'll still eliminate Barcelona this season! We have a savior."

"Lu Xiao > Messi"

Late at night, in the Sina Sports studio in the capital,

Zhan Jun, the receiver who had just arrived from LeEco, was covered in sweat. He immediately picked up the prepared materials and reviewed them again.

I will try my best to commentate on this match.

"Coach Zhang, what's your opinion?"

"Hehehe, me? I feel that in terms of overall strength, Barcelona is still stronger."

Bayer Leverkusen is a tough opponent.

Coach Zhang's expression revealed his worry.

Bayer Leverkusen's defense has weaknesses, and they will have a hard time withstanding the firepower of MSN.

"Perhaps the only chance of winning depends on Lu Xiao's performance."
