Chapter 28 Lu Xiao vs. De Bruyne! A Battle of Brothers Turning Against Each Other!

"Oh?"

When Lu Xiao replaced Guardado, De Bruyne was understandably surprised.

Is the Leverkusen coach really using this kid as a substitute surprise weapon?

In the German Cup and the fourth round of the Bundesliga, Lu Xiao came on as a substitute twice and scored twice.

But he's only 16 years old, and usually, to protect young players, they try to avoid letting him play too many games.

De Bruyne was well aware that after Lu Xiao won the MVP in the last round, he had been thoroughly analyzed by the coaching staff of various clubs.

Wolfsburg coach Hecking gave a detailed commentary on Lu Xiao:

"...Next, I'd like to emphasize one point regarding the potential substitutes for Leverkusen..."

"Remember this Chinese player, Lu Shaw, you must pay attention to him!"

Black Gold drew three exclamation marks in a row on the tactical whiteboard!

It is clear that he did not look down on people because of their age.

"At 16, winning the Bundesliga MVP—do you think it's just luck? No!"

"Just looking at his two ball control decisions in the attacking third, I doubt even Messi could handle them as perfectly."

"By simply utilizing his ball control advantage, he can create a terrifying threat in the tight spaces of the penalty area."

"Good news! Even the most talented young player has one major weakness! Can you guess what it is?"

Inside Wolfsburg's tactical meeting room, defensive midfielder Gustavo raised his hand to speak like a schoolchild:

"Body!"

"That's right! He's weak in physical confrontations; in previous matches, he was at a disadvantage in physical confrontations at least seven times."

"So whenever he has a chance to get the ball, he immediately makes a physical collision to push him out of position and force him to be unable to control the ball."

If Lu Xiao fails to handle the ball well on his first touch, he will lose the space to threaten the ball.

Despite being at a disadvantage in areas such as speed, passing, and long-range shooting.

Lu Xiao will be completely free of threat.

"Try to drive him out of the penalty area as much as possible; foul him if you can!"

"We believe that with our special care, this child will learn a valuable lesson..."

The Wolfsburg players were all smiling happily at the time.

De Bruyne, however, couldn't laugh.

What if this kind of targeting by his own teammates damages his confidence?

However... since you've chosen the path of a professional player, failure is inevitable.

Hopefully, today's failure will give Lu Xiao some experience and help him calm down.

After three years of dedicated training, Lu Xiao is sure to become a world-class superstar.

"But not now!"

De Bruyne looked at Lu Xiao. He had decided to help his younger brother face reality as soon as possible: football is a cruel sport!

However, Lu Xiao seemed completely unfazed, even waving when he saw De Bruyne looking over.

"Ugh, I really don't want to do this."

De Bruyne felt he was being a bit cruel.

……

No time for catching up!

Looking at the clock on the field, the Wolfsburg players spent a considerable amount of time celebrating, in addition to making substitutions.

We've already reached 86 minutes!

They only have 4 minutes left to tie the game!

Lu Xiao was just about to run and receive the ball, but before he could even start moving, he was hit hard and stumbled, almost falling over.

Turning my head, I saw that the dark and tough midfielder Gustavo looked apologetic.

"Sorry, it wasn't intentional."

"I don't believe you!"

Gustavo definitely did it on purpose.

The purpose was nothing more than to give himself a warning, to indicate that he would be given special treatment by the other party in the future.

really,

Leverkusen launched an attack, while Wolfsburg retreated into their penalty area to await a counter-attack.

Lu Xiao replaced Son Heung-min as the number 10 forward, while Son Heung-min moved to the left wing.

Rolfes played a through ball, seemingly aiming for Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min, finding no opening, observed the middle lane and decisively passed the ball to Lu Xiao!

He has enough trust in Lu Xiao's ball control!

As the ball was about to hit him, Gustavo made another physical collision from behind, trying to push Lu Xiao out of position.

Rage level: 48%

The two consecutive impacts caused his anger to surge.

Lu Xiao had already noticed Gustavo's movements. He adjusted his position and was knocked forward a few steps by Gustavo, allowing him to receive the ball first.

"Don't even think about it!"

Another defensive midfielder, Maximilian, made a timely double-team, and together with Gustavo, blocked Lu Xiao's breakthrough route.

"This is bad!!"

Leverkusen's teammates exclaimed in surprise, thinking the ball would be intercepted, and quickly turned around to defend.

Lu Xiao hadn't given up yet. He gritted his teeth and sprinted forward, touching the ball ahead of time!

At the moment of contact with the ball, the toes should be raised to the maximum extent.

The football was gently tapped, and it seemed as if an elf had bypassed Maximilian!

"What?!"

Gustavo paused slightly, but Lu Xiao didn't let the ball touch the ground; he hooked the ball with his ankle and flicked it again!

The ball crossed Gustavo's left flank, and Lu Xiao crossed it from the right!

In front of the penalty area, Lu Xiao perfectly controlled the ball and then dribbled past two defenders with a series of flicks, breaking through the defense in an instant!

"An elegant and glamorous performance!! From Lu!"

"He hasn't let the ball bounce inside the penalty area!"

The commentator secretly admired the commentator, his eyes filled with anticipation!

Could it be that……

"impossible!"

Wolfsburg's starting center-back Naldo stepped forward to defend, blocking Lu Xiao's path.

At the critical moment, Lu Xiao cleverly tapped the ball with the instep of his right foot just before it hit the ground.

The football narrowly missed Naldo's nutmeg!

Lu Xiao takes on three opponents in the attacking third! He dribbles past all three!

De Bruyne was stunned!

Long time no see, little brother Lu Xiao has grown into someone he can't understand!

Three perfect ball control techniques in a row—it's unbelievable for a professional player!

It's more like a magician's spectacular performance!

Rage level: 65%

After getting past Naldo, Lu Xiao only had goalkeeper Benaglio left in front of him!

With 65% rage, the maximum boost to shooting ability is only 65%!

Lu Xiao still decided to kick him!

With teammates heavily guarded, it's time for me to step up!

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper Benaglio, Lu Xiao showed no fear whatsoever!

A powerful shot!

This shot is the culmination of countless hours of sweat on the training field!

Unfortunately, they were a little unlucky and hit the pillar.

Fortunately, Kiessling arrived just in time and scored on the rebound!

"Kiessling—Goal!!"

"Young player Lu Xiao also deserves much credit!"

"Luuuuuu Shaaaaaaw—He's played a key role in two rounds in a row!"

"Like De Bruyne, both young players from Genk brought valuable points to their respective teams today!"

"That series of lobbed passes in front of the penalty area were absolutely perfect!"

"Lu Xiao has changed the score; both sides are now on equal footing!"

……

2-2, seemingly a signal of reconciliation.

Lu Xiao and De Bruyne, blinded by rage, clearly had no intention of holding back.

In a short time, with both sides working together, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg launched a fierce attack on each other's territory!

"A full-blown offensive battle in the last 10 minutes? That's interesting!"

Rage level: 82%

Rage level: 86%

Rage level: 92%

Finally, in stoppage time, De Bruyne attempted a deadly pass.

Unfortunately, his teammates lacked stamina, making it difficult for them to create threatening attacks.

Lu Xiao, however, became entangled in a battle with Gustavo and Naldo.

The opponent was clearly trying to outlast me physically.

Lu Xiao, however, remained completely calm; he was simply waiting for an opportunity!

With 93 minutes and 42 seconds of stoppage time remaining, the four-minute stoppage period was about to end. The referee had already put his whistle in his mouth, ready to blow it at any moment, and glanced at the time on his wrist.

In Leverkusen's final dance, Son Heung-min dribbled the ball from the left, looking for an opportunity.

He feigned a rightward flick with his right foot to change direction.

Suddenly, he leaped over the ball, flicked it with his left foot, and broke through to the outside!

"Damn it!!"

Driven by his determination to win, Son Heung-min roared and charged towards the penalty area from the sideline. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure making a rapid forward run down the middle!

"Please! You absolutely have to score this ball!"

boom--

A high, low ball hurtled past the penalty area!

"Lu Xiao!!!"

De Bruyne spotted his little brother making a clever forward run into a dangerous position!

He's already poised for a volley!

Fortunately, starting center-back Naldo remained vigilant and stayed close to Lu Xiao.

"It should be fine, right?"

Ignoring the penalty awarded to the forward, Naldo charged forward with his upper body like a bull, knocking Lu Xiao off balance and making it impossible for him to shoot.

call……

"That was close... What?!"

De Bruyne was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Xiao's leg swing didn't result in a volley!

In the instant he lost his balance, his right-footed shot miraculously turned into a controlled stop!

Clamp the ball between your ankles and gently flick it upwards.

In the split second of losing his balance and falling to the ground, he was able to accomplish such an impossible feat!

Immediately afterwards!

"this……"

De Bruyne was horrified!

Everyone around was petrified!

The moment Lu Xiao fell to the left, she actually used a street dance-like acrobatic move to support herself with one hand and spin around!

Rage level: 100%

"Hey!"

A victorious smile appeared on Lu Xiao's lips.

Barrel hook!

boom! ! !

Swah——

By the time everyone realized what was happening, the ball had already spun into the corner of the net and blasted into the goal!

The scoreboard at BayArena keeps ticking relentlessly!

3-2!

A last-second game-winning shot!
