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

Welcome to Sina Sports! The highly anticipated first leg of the 14/15 UEFA Champions League semi-final is about to begin!

Lu Xiao's Bayer Leverkusen will host Barcelona, ​​who boast the MSN trio!

Zhan Jun's voice was loud enough.

However, I was still affected by ambient noise.

To prepare for Barcelona's match, the Bayern Stadium was packed to capacity today, with all the fans who could come showing up to cheer on their home team.

"Leverkusen Allez!"

"Leverkusen Allez!!!"

"Lu Shaw—"

"Lu Shaw—"

The deafening cheers almost drowned out Zhan Jun.

As a result, Zhan Jun had to raise his voice from the very beginning of the match, risking his life to commentate on this great battle.

beep—

"With the whistle of the Hungarian referee Kassai,

The competition has officially begun!

Barcelona were given the kickoff and took control of the game from the start.

"Xavi, pass to Iniesta, pass back to Busquets, Mascherano, Ter Stegen... then back to Xavi..."

Leverkusen initially wanted to apply high pressure and try to disrupt Barcelona's rhythm.

However, Barcelona's passing was simply too fluid.

Firmino was treated like a dog in the attacking third.

Lu Xiao didn't bring the [Cannavaro] template for today's offense, and his defensive capabilities were also insufficient.

Unable to press high up the pitch successfully, a group of players retreated to within 30 meters of the penalty area.

Barcelona launched a siege in the attacking third.

Just like all the scenes from Barcelona's matches over the years.

"Xavi, pass to Messi on the right..."

"Catch it back! Get past Ake! Cut inside and get past Lars Bender! Shoot straight at the goal!!!"

"Goalkeeper Leno was very focused and caught the ball."

Barcelona took their first shot of the match.

Bayer Leverkusen fans had a close call.

The successful defense drew enthusiastic applause from the entire stadium, dedicated to goalkeeper Leno.

The Leverkusen defenders were also very excited, high-fiving each other, their morale high.

"Barcelona is nothing special."

"Easy! Try to steal the ball again!"

"We've got this game in the bag today!"

However, Lu Xiao couldn't laugh.

He carefully observed the expressions of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Suarez, and others.

Despite missing the shot, they showed no sign of defeat.

They all looked relaxed, as if they were on the training field without any pressure.

"This is not good. Captain, I think we still can't let our guard down."

"Don't worry, Lu, you focus on creating opportunities up front! We'll handle the defense!"

Captain Rolfes was full of confidence.

Barcelona then attempted several more attacks, but they were all easily thwarted by Leverkusen's tight defense.

Leverkusen still have a chance to launch a counter-attack.

"Rolfes, a long pass found Son Heung-min on the left!!"

"Son Heung-min attempts a breakthrough on the wing! The ball is cleared out of bounds by Alves."

"Ake comes up, okay, Lu Xiao receives the ball and turns, Ake continues to overlap on the wing..."

Damn it, let's go back!

Lu Xiao was taken aback to find that left-back Aké was no longer satisfied with marking Messi and impulsively made a run down the flank.

Son Heung-min draws the defense away, allowing Ake to bypass Alves and cut directly into the flanks.

That's risky!

Lu Xiao didn't want his teammates to take risks, but since they were already there, and their teammates were in good positions...

According to the tactics, it would be best to pass the ball to him.

"Beautiful!! Lu Xiao's through ball connects with Ake!! Assisting into the penalty area!"

"Firmino pounces at the near post!! Ter Stegen!!"

"Barcelona pushes the ball out for a corner, giving Leverkusen a corner kick opportunity!"

When the corner kick is taken, the two center-backs, Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk, will inevitably rush into the penalty area to contest the header.

Bayer Leverkusen were in high spirits playing at home, with everyone's attention focused on attacking.

The closer Lu Xiao got to scoring, the clearer his sense of crisis became.

Considering their strategy against Barcelona, ​​Leverkusen will primarily employ a defensive counter-attacking approach.

We need to seize the limited opportunities to launch a faster and more incisive attack from the backcourt.

Firmino was a tactical pivot, not the sharpest weapon in a counter-attack.

De Bruyne's role is primarily focused on passing the ball.

Relying solely on Son Heung-min as a breakout player is not enough; Lu Xiao himself also needs a breakout.

"Lu, you have a heavy tactical responsibility today. You not only need to attract attention as the ball holder, but also create opportunities for Sun."

At the same time, I have enough decision-making power to handle opportunities myself.

Whether it's a breakthrough or a long-range shot, they should try to attack Barcelona's defense as much as possible.

Is it possible?

Lu Xiao remembered clearly the instructions given by head coach Sasha before the match.

Therefore, in addition to carrying [Bee Joy Return], Lu Xiao also equipped an additional template [Meteor].

Lu Xiao had watched the animated series "Super Intelligent Football".

This is one of the few domestically produced football animations.

The world-building and competition content are full of fantasy elements, and it was considered one of the more popular Chinese animations back then.

Besides the protagonist Qianlong and the captain Heneng, Meteor is an important character in the protagonist group, specializing in quick breakthroughs and fancy moves on the court.

Considering that the [Bee Joy Return] template accumulates rage value relatively slowly,

In crucial moments when a burst of power is needed, having an extra skill might be the key to turning the tide of battle.

However, most of the time, Lu Xiao relied more on his monster intuition from the [Bee Fun Return] template.

To generate a sense of crisis in advance.

Leverkusen pushed forward with all their players, while Lu Xiao quietly moved to the outside of the penalty area to provide protective support.

"De Bruyne takes the corner!! Near post! Maguire!!"

Harry Maguire put in a lot of effort, leaping high over Pique's defense and heading the ball towards the goal.

"I got the ball!! I'm a hero!!"

Maguire watched as the ball was about to go in.

Unexpectedly, left-back Alba was quick-witted and positioned himself at the far post, extending his foot to clear the ball off the goal line!

"hateful!!"

Busquets received the ball outside the penalty area, calmly backheeled it past Firmino, and passed it to Xavi.

MSN and its allies are charging forward together.

Harvey saw nothing but loopholes!

"Barcelona's counter-attack opportunity!! Xavi!! Through ball to Messi!"

Oops! !

The moment when the entire Leverkusen team panicked,

Messi was about to receive the ball and make a breakthrough.

A figure darted over like a meteor, flashing across the grass like lightning, and with a flying tackle, pushed the ball out of bounds.

"Lu Xiao!!! A crucial interception that thwarted Barcelona's attack!"

Lu Xiao, lying on the ground after completing the tackle, was breathing heavily with difficulty.

I just used the [Meteor] skill.

[Meteor Trail: Significant acceleration within 3 seconds, greatly enhancing ball control]

The skill has no cooldown and can be used infinitely.

However, the cost is also obvious: it consumes a lot of physical energy.

Lu Xiao really went all out to defend against that ball.

"Lu Xiao's clearance was crucial! It seems the entire Leverkusen team is in excellent form today."

Before the match, the media were very optimistic about Barcelona.

Barcelona's overall strength is also stronger.

But if Leverkusen has enough fighting spirit, they can still compete with Barcelona.

Zhan Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from their performance in the first few minutes, Bayer Leverkusen can actually go toe-to-toe with peak Barcelona!

Maybe they can really shake up Barcelona...

The replay is still showing Lu Xiao's brilliant defense.

Little did they know that Barcelona had already quickly taken the throw-in!

Alves throws the ball to Messi immediately, who then passes it diagonally to Iniesta.

Neymar and Suarez have already positioned themselves in the attacking third.

Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk, the two center-backs, hadn't even had time to get back on defense!

"Oh no!!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Xiao quickly got up from the ground, but his legs gave way and he was unable to chase after her in time.

It looks like Kimmich and Ake, the two full-backs, are going to have to defend against Barcelona's MSN attacking trident!

Leverkusen fans didn't have time to celebrate for long either.

My heart sank to the bottom.

"Iniesta!! He passes the ball to the left wing with one touch!"

"Neymar!!"

Neymar, hailed as the last samba dancer in Brazil, faced a young Kimmich.

His footwork in front of the penalty area was dazzling, and his stepover was unexpected!

"Rainbow jump!! She made it through!!"

Zhan Jun's heart skipped a beat as he watched Neymar break past Kimmich and deliver a cross from just outside the penalty area.

Suarez effortlessly dribbled the ball past Ake.

He easily slotted the ball into the goal.

"Barcelona took the lead in less than 9 minutes!"

"Take advantage of Leverkusen's eagerness to attack, which leaves their defense vulnerable."

Barcelona's sharp counter-attacks were quite lethal!

Only then did Messi, who had just been tackled by Lu Xiao, smile faintly and glance at Lu Xiao from afar.

"Kid, this is Barcelona's true strength."

I've been tricked!

Oh shit!

Lu Xiao clenched his fists; he understood instantly.

Barcelona's opening performance was a show of weakness, a deliberate attempt to lure the opponent deeper into their territory.

This match was perhaps the toughest battle I'd faced in the last two years!
