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

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Luis. You've been playing brilliantly in Germany. I've been watching your matches."

"Thanks."

"By the way, have you studied Spanish? You speak it fluently."

"Yes, I've learned a little bit about it before."

My God.

"..."

I can tell.

Using the MBTI 16 personality type analysis that became more popular in later generations

Torres is a typical ISFJ, the Guardian type.

Lu Xiao seemed quite cheerful in the Leverkusen locker room, getting along well with his teammates.

That's something we gradually opened up to after getting to know each other.

To strangers, Lu Xiao is also a person in principle.

So when the two met for the first time and stood together, it was a bit awkward, especially since Torres was noticeably more uneasy.

The assistant coach took a phone call and slipped out.

The locker room fell silent.

Lu Xiao took the initiative to speak:

"Oh, right, I heard from the coach that there are other people here as well."

"Yes, there's still some time before the new season training camp starts, and most people haven't returned from their holidays yet."

Those who stayed in Madrid would occasionally come to the club to recover their physical condition and use the gym for a short workout.

I'm also planning to practice today.

Antoine, Kirk, and the others have already gone to the gym.

How about we practice and chat together?

Let me introduce you to someone.

"OK."

Lu Xiao was quite surprised.

In his mind, professional players on vacation would have already flown away.

There were no major competitions in 2015.

They either admire beautiful women on the beach, charter yachts for leisure, or party in nightclubs, losing all sense of purpose.

Coming to the gym early in the morning on a holiday?

What else could it be but a disease?

I initially thought Lu Xiao was the one who was sick.

Unexpectedly, Torres, along with other Atletico Madrid players, also fell ill.

No wonder Atletico Madrid has been able to achieve success in recent years with a squad that isn't particularly star-studded.

They have always been able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The players' effort and discipline have far surpassed those of other teams.

Especially a certain red team in the Manchester area of ​​the Premier League, the most undisciplined!

Torres doesn't know much about Lu Xiao except for watching his matches.

Lu Xiao knew quite a bit about him.

He's a veteran who rose to fame at a young age and has been a prominent figure in the football world for many years.

One of Lu Xiao's idols during her student days.

Under Lu Xiao's guidance,

Along the way, he and Torres gradually became acquainted.

They chatted casually.

……

at the same time,

At the Atlético Madrid gym.

Antoine Griezmann, a rising star in French midfield.

Saul Niguez, a promising young player from Atlético Madrid's youth academy and a versatile player in midfield and attack.

Koke, Atletico Madrid's youth academy star and midfield maestro.

Oliver Torres, a young forward from Atlético Madrid's youth academy who has returned on loan from Porto.

A few people were whispering about the newly arrived Chinese superstar.

"To be honest, the club is just burning money."

Saul Niguez complained as he lifted weights.

"What does 1.5 million mean? You could probably sign Cristiano Ronaldo for that. With that much money, you might as well give us a raise."

"You bastard, are you trying to collude with the enemy? Ronaldo is a Real Madrid player, what does he think he is doing here at Racing Club?"

Kirk frowned and scoffed.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, as fierce rivals from the same city, have always been irreconcilable enemies.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, has long been deeply imprinted with Real Madrid's legacy, a long-time rival and bitter rival.

How could Atletico Madrid players possibly accept Ronaldo's authority?

"Just saying, 1.5 million is enough to hire the best player in the world."

"Doesn't Lu Xiao count?"

"Does he... does he count?"

Saul's tone inevitably softened somewhat.

Logically speaking, a young man who has only been in the industry for two years is only 18 years old this year, younger than everyone present.

At this time, they were all hanging out in the youth training camp.

Its status in the football world is low.

Subconsciously, no one considered him a superstar of the "Messi-Ronaldo" level.

He's at most a rising star like Lewandowski, Götze, or Mkhitaryan in the Bundesliga.

But Lu Xiao's phenomenal performance last season.

This surprised all professional players.

Especially the big match that eliminated Barcelona,

Three MSN members can't compare to one Lu Xiao.

He has the subtle influence of being considered the "third best player in the world" and "on par with Messi and Ronaldo".

He became famous too quickly and hasn't had time to mature.

Therefore, there are controversies not only among fans but also among the players themselves.

"I think Luis is already on the same level as Messi and Ronaldo."

He is a true genius.

Kirk, who is usually down-to-earth and unassuming, speaks highly of Lu Xiao.

"Kirk, why boost others' morale and diminish your own?"

I think even Fernando is better than him.

"Wearing a size 10 right after coming in? Why should I?"

Oliver Torres, standing to the side, looked indignant and unconvinced.

He was originally number 10.

To reward his outstanding performance, the club promised him a number symbolizing his core status.

As a result, Lu Xiao signed the contract at lightning speed and made a high-profile official announcement.

Number 10 was snatched away by Lu Xiao.

Oliver Torres could only be assigned a marginal number 28.

He wasn't convinced.

When several Spanish players were discussing,

Frenchman Antoine Griezmann was intently lifting weights, standing silently to the side.

Suddenly, he quickly looked towards the gym entrance.

His gaze also drew the attention of the others.

Oliver Torres' expression immediately turned awkward.

He was with just the two of them.

Fernando Torres, Lu Xiao

Appearing at the door,

Judging from their expressions, they had clearly heard what he said.

"Oliver, you mean I'm old?"

Fernando Torres looked at his younger brother with a half-smile.

Both of them are Torres.

Regardless of team status or status in the football world.

Fernando Torres is the senior figure.

Oliver quickly backed down.

"I was wrong, Fernando. You're in your prime, not old at all, and can play for another 10 years."

"Get lost, you bastard."

Torres chuckled irritably and turned to look at Lu Xiao.

"Lu, I'm sorry, this guy just has a blunt personality, but he's not a bad person. I hope I didn't offend you."

"I don't care."

Lu Xiao simply shook his head and looked at Oliver Torres.

"Oliver, is it? You seem to be at odds with me?"

"The whole world knows you, King Lu, the savior of the East."

How could I dare to disagree?

Oliver pursed his lips.

"How about we try a 1v1 match?"

"Lu?"

Torres looked at Lu Xiao in surprise.

He was worried that if he clashed with his new teammates on the first day, the coach would blame him afterwards.

"Don't worry, it's just a friendly spar. So, Oliver?"

"Afraid of you? Come on!"

Oliver was also a hothead.

Without even changing his jersey, he walked ahead towards the training field in his workout clothes.

???

What's going on?

The others were stunned.

Koke even wanted Torres to help persuade them, but why bother? They're all teammates.

Saul and Griezmann remained silent.

They also wanted to see Lu Xiao's skill level for themselves.

In this world,

Too many players are hyped up by the media; they only have one or two good games and are immediately hailed as football gods.

He was immediately exposed when he joined a different team, and his market value plummeted.

Whether they are strong or weak can only be known through their performance on the spot.

When a group of people followed,

Lu Xiao had already casually grabbed a soccer ball from the side basket.

Oliver and I arrived at the 5-a-side training pitch.

1v1 match-up rules (unofficial)

Without a goalkeeper, he dribbles past his opponent and shoots through the narrow pass.

They won by scoring 5 goals first.

"Can Oliver handle it?"

"He's at least a good player from the youth academy; he should be able to score one or two goals, right?"

Torres, Griezmann, Saul, Koke,

Several people agreed that

Lu Xiao is definitely stronger.

But Oliver has solid fundamentals, some talent, and defensive ability.

In a 1v1 situation, you shouldn't lose by too much.

However, 3 minutes later.

Oliver stood in the middle of the field looking bewildered, while Lu Xiao had already come to the sidelines with the football in his arms.

When the ball was handed to Torres, Torres didn't even show any signs of sweating!

A bloodless 5-0 victory!

A complete stomp!

Five attacks, five different ways of dribbling past opponents!

Oliver didn't even touch the ball!

On the other hand, when Oliver was on offense,

Lu Xiao's first interception was a precise steal, giving the ball no chance whatsoever!

This feels like a professional player bullying an elementary school student in a one-on-one situation.

They're not even on the same level!

Torres, Griezmann,

The two world-class strikers exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Prior to this, a transfer fee of 1.5 million was considered a significant overpayment for them.

It's purely for the purpose of competing for investment in the Chinese market.

Now it seems,

Every penny of 1.5 million euros seems to be worth it!

Lu Xiao's number 10 silhouette

On a bright, sunny summer day, the Atletico Madrid players felt a chill in the air.

At the same time, a surge of hope welled up in my heart.

Ice and Fire.
