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

"Mr. Lu, you started the game and were substituted after 60 minutes."

A hat trick in 60 minutes,

He has scored 46 league goals, breaking the Bundesliga single-season goal record.

Are you aiming for 50 league goals?

No, my goal tally doesn't matter.

The important thing is that we beat Hoffenheim 4-0, securing 3 points and maintaining our top spot in the Bundesliga.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I am a reporter from the Munich Evening News."

In the final round of the league

Bayern Munich will face Mainz.

Bayer Leverkusen will face Eintracht Frankfurt.

You are currently only one point behind Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga title race will remain undecided until the very last moment.

Are you confident in defending your title and achieving the club's first-ever back-to-back championships?

"Of course, we've worked hard all season, and our goal is to win the championship."

I trust my teammates, I trust the coaching staff, and I thank the fans for their support.

We will do it.

After Bayer Leverkusen's 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim,

Press conference,

Lu Xiao became the focus of the press conference.

As a result, head coach Hyypia, who should have been answering questions, became a mere figurehead.

no way,

Bayer Leverkusen's two coaches, Sascha and Hyypia, are not very prominent.

Unlike renowned managers like Mourinho, Wenger, Klopp, and Guardiola,

Lu Xiao stole almost all the spotlight from the entire team.

Following the principle of prioritizing traffic, the media has been primarily focusing on exposing Lu Xiao.

A 17-year-old Chinese-American basketball prodigy with all his advantages is bound to become a sensation.

After the press conference,

Hypia was a little embarrassed.

"Lu, it feels like you've drawn all the club's attention away, but in return, you'll be under more pressure."

Exposure is a double-edged sword.

If you keep winning, the whole world will carry you around.

No matter how arrogant or reckless you are,

These traits are often interpreted by the media and fans as "personality," and are then exaggerated and boasted about in various ways.

If they lose a game or perform poorly even once,

They will also face global criticism.

All past statements will be boomeranged back.

They dug it up and repeatedly whipped its corpse.

Most players would find it difficult to withstand such immense pressure.

But Lu Xiao looked relaxed and at ease.

Hypia often forgets his age.

"Don't worry, Coach. Nothing from the outside world will affect me."

"You're amazing, what's it that keeps you going?"

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Lu Xiao lied; he knew very well why he had gotten to where he was now.

Is it a system?

It's not entirely a system.

Regarding "prophetic dreams",

Ever since I can remember, I've had these strange dreams about the future every day, like memories from another parallel universe.

Unfortunately, most dreams are fragmented and quickly forgotten after waking up.

Until it was triggered unexpectedly.

I remember when I was in junior high school, Lu Xiao had a very long prophetic dream, one of the few complete dreams I ever had.

Around the time of the awakening system.

Lu Xiao dreamed that after being expelled from Bayern Munich's youth academy, no professional team wanted him.

His professional football career was thwarted.

Lu Xiao could only continue her high school studies and was admitted to a university in Germany.

After graduation, something happened back in my hometown in China.

The elderly person is ill and needs long-term care.

The parents simply sold their shop in Munich and returned to China with Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao, with her overseas returnee status, works for a foreign company in Xiamen and lives a nine-to-five life.

The salary is neither high nor low, and life is just average.

When he reached a suitable age, his family introduced him to a girl.

They bought a house in Xiamen, got married, and started their own little family.

After all, it was a blind date, so it's not a matter of liking or disliking each other; it's just about living together.

A monotonous, repetitive life for ten years.

Even in dreams, it's a bit boring.

The grind of being a corporate slave wore down Lu Xiao's enthusiasm for life.

There's a basketball court near the entrance of her residential complex. Every time Lu Xiao passes by, she can't help but stop and watch the people playing.

Only at this moment could Lu Xiao stop feeling so numb.

I can't help but imagine what it would be like if I continued down this career path.

In my dream, my vaguely defined "wife" would encourage me to go onto the football field and play for a while.

Lu Xiao just smiled and shook his head, took his wife's hand with his left hand, and carried the groceries he had bought home with his right.

Never looking back.

Until late at night, his wife fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Xiao tiptoed out of bed and ran to the balcony to light a cigarette.

Looking down at the darkened football field, I let out a long sigh.

Yes,

No matter how much you suppress or cover it up, the dream of football cannot be extinguished.

Even if the flame burns out and only a last glimmer of light remains,

Even this small glimmer of light was enough to illuminate Lu Xiao's heart.

Fortunately,

Awakening from a deep dream

When Lu Xiao opened his eyes, he was back to when he was 12 years old, back in Munich.

It's like going back to my youth training days.

So now, looking at Coach Hyypia and the training ground not far away,

Only Lu Xiao himself knew how much he cherished this opportunity.

External opinions and pressure are irrelevant.

As long as I can keep playing football, that's enough!

"Coach, we will win the championship."

"That's right, Lu, I believe you!"

……

Recently, they have been busy playing in the Champions League and competing for the league title.

Moreover, there are many away games.

As a core player, Lu Xiao was constantly on the go, training and competing, keeping him extremely busy.

This resulted in him falling behind in his high school courses.

German secondary schools operate on a streaming system, with students from grammar schools able to directly take the German university entrance exam, Abitur, to apply to universities.

Lu Xiao's school, Shike High School, requires students to obtain a "Vocational Higher Education Qualification".

Don't worry about the professional training; the club has taken care of everything for Lu Xiao.

At that time, universities such as the Sport University of Cologne, the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences will have "green channels" available.

Both professional players and youth players can apply for admission.

The prerequisite is passing the academic exams.

"Lu, considering your recent situation, the school will not make things difficult for you. I have already highlighted the key points for the exam, and the corresponding electronic course materials have been sent to your email."

However, there are also physical books available, which you will need to pick up at the school.

Don't worry, the questions aren't difficult. You can pass with a little review.

Remember to come pick up the materials if you have time today.

There are 2 days left in the league season.

There weren't many training tasks that day, and all the content had been completed by the morning.

A group of players were soaking in the spa pool.

Let's discuss where to go in the afternoon and relax a bit before the big battle.

Lu Xiao simply endured the physical therapist's "torture" silently.

In some novels or football TV series, the club's physiotherapist is a stunningly beautiful woman, and the massage process might even be quite erotic.

The actual physiotherapist at Bayer Leverkusen is a man.

The grip was incredibly strong, causing Lu Xiao to grimace in pain.

After finally finishing my physical therapy, I changed my clothes and went out.

Lu Xiao almost forgot how to walk.

Considering I have to go to school today,

Lu Xiao's Lamborghini was too flashy, so he specifically switched to a more understated 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

The engine sound of the white two-seater sports car was still eye-catching.

We drove to the school just as school was letting out.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh no, we're doomed."

Sure enough, Lu Xiao had just parked the car and gotten out when

The surrounding students rushed forward like zombies, excitedly crowding around to ask for autographs and photos.

As a legendary alumnus of Theodor House-Science School,

Lu Xiao is elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.

Having finally been caught, how could these students let him go?

"Lu!! Can I get your autograph?"

"Smile, Lu!! Thanks, this photo is great!"

"Lu, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me?"

"Good luck in this game! We'll all support you!"

"Please, keep the championship with Leverkusen!"

Good news, Leverkusen is a small place.

The total number of students is not large.

The whole process took less than 10 minutes, and the students left satisfied.

When Lu Xiao was signing an autograph for a female high school student,

The girl was a little excited.

When taking photos with her arm around his, she deliberately stood very close.

My right arm clearly felt that the other person was well-developed.

After the group photo,

The blonde girl even excitedly pecked herself on the cheek.

"Thank you, Lu! Thank you!! My God, today was such a happy day!"

Goodness, this is insane.

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to sign autographs for the last student.

Finish early so you can pick up your study materials.

When Lu Xiao looked up, he was immediately embarrassed.

The other person's eyes were rather resentful, and they mimicked the blonde girl's affected tone in a high-pitched voice:

"Oh, thank you, Lu! Today was so much fun!"

"Chloe, are you jealous?"

Lu Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the other person with amusement.

The girl in front of him was none other than Chloe, who looked like a Barbie doll.
