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

Atlético Madrid training ground

The parking lot was quite lively.

A group of young people hugged and greeted each other.

They teased each other like middle school students just starting school.

"Hey, Saul, your hairstyle is awful. Where did you get it cut?"

"Get lost! Jose, you're a bastard, look how fat you've gotten."

"No, right?"

"Your body fat is definitely too high. You're doomed. The big devil is going to punish you."

"Oops!"

The thought of head coach Diego Simeone's harsh methods...

Young Uruguayan defender José Jiménez looked flustered.

I let myself go a bit during summer vacation and gained a little weight.

Her whole face has become rounder.

Before the holiday, the coach repeatedly emphasized the importance of maintaining my physique, saying that I would definitely suffer if I didn't meet the standards.

"By the way, have you seen the new guy?"

"Lu? I've seen him."

"So, is he as difficult to get along with as the rumors say?"

"Yeah, I heard he has a pretty arrogant personality."

Atletico Madrid defenders Juanfran and Filipe Luis, midfielder Augusto, and others all gathered around.

The team is almost entirely composed of Hispanic and Latino players.

I really enjoy gossiping.

Lu Xiao is undoubtedly the hottest topic among the players.

"The rumors are a bit far-fetched; they're almost all made up by Marca. Lu himself is a good person."

"Really? I heard Oliver got into a fight with Lou and even got beaten up by him."

"Nonsense, we were just having a simple friendly match."

Oliver Torres was in a rather awkward situation.

Last time Oliver went all out, and Lu Xiao didn't even break a sweat.

Oliver was completely convinced.

But if word gets out, it's still embarrassing.

"Let's keep quiet for now. Lu will be here today, and everyone will understand once they see him in person."

Fernando Torres, Atlético Madrid legend

At the moment, Atletico Madrid's spiritual leader quickly dispersed a group of gossipy guys.

Just as they were preparing to rush to the restaurant to begin their first day of training,

With the roar of the engine

A Lykan Hypersport, the same model seen in "Fast & Furious 7," drove into the parking lot.

A graceful drift into the parking space.

Lu Xiao, carrying her gym bag, paused for a moment in surprise as she came downstairs.

He noticed that at least 10 people were staring at him.

"Hola! Guys!"

A bright, sunny smile, and a warm, generous greeting.

The Atlético Madrid players made a very good first impression!

They are completely different from the stereotypical image of East Asians as dull, gloomy, and introverted.

"Lu!! I've finally met you! I'm José Jiménez, and I'm a fan of yours!"

Young defender Jimenez was the first to rush up and shake hands with Lu Xiao.

The other Atletico Madrid players lowered their heads in embarrassment and held their foreheads.

Just a moment ago, it was Lu Xiao, who was behind me.

When they met him in person, they acted like obsessive fans.

"Lu, let me introduce you. This is José, and this is Diego Godín, our elder brother."

And this one, Oblak, our most reliable goalkeeper.

besides……"

At Torres's recommendation,

Lu Xiao got to know more than half of Atletico Madrid's key players briefly.

He also discovered it.

The other players on the team had different expressions.

He wasn't as enthusiastic as Jiménez.

Some people remained polite, while others simply gave them a cursory glance.

Some people were looking at Lu Xiao with hostility.

After all, he just joined.

Furthermore, last season, Lu Xiao led Bayer Leverkusen to eliminate Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16.

Many players have long hated Lu Xiao.

It's normal for hostility to arise and for there to be no new faces.

Trust and tacit understanding need to be cultivated gradually through long-term training and competition; they cannot be rushed.

The awkwardness of his early days at Bayer Leverkusen

He needs to start all over again with a new team.

The only good news,

Lu Xiao joined with the world's highest salary.

Having experienced the previous encounter,

Everyone knows how strong Lu Xiao is; he doesn't need to prove himself anymore.

A group of people were chatting in the parking lot.

Another Land Rover drove in.

A middle-aged man with a thuggish look and a fierce appearance.

Head coach Diego Simeone has arrived.

"They're all here, why don't you go in?"

"Oh? Lu, you're here too."

"coach."

"It's great to have you on board, Lue. Let's work together well in the new season."

Simone's laughter is quite hearty.

He also showed great respect to Lu Xiao.

An 18-year-old Chinese player should theoretically be at the bottom of the European football hierarchy.

But Lu Xiao won over Simeone with his past outstanding performances.

Not everyone can eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona in a row.

There are very few people in the world who could single-handedly challenge the two giants of La Liga at their peak.

Have breakfast in the cafeteria

After a simple acclimatization workout at the gym,

Once the entire first team has arrived...

Head coach Simeone called everyone to assemble in the locker room.

Lu Xiao sat in the center of the locker room, with his number 10 jersey behind him.

Atletico Madrid players couldn't help but glance at him.

"First of all, welcome to our new teammate, our new comrade-in-arms! Lu Xiao from the East—"

Clap clap clap!

There was thunderous applause.

Whether out of respect, affection, or hatred,

At least Lu Xiao is enough to draw the attention of the whole team.

"Torres, you can privately introduce Lu to everyone and help them get acquainted."

Today we'll get down to business.

I know you all must have indulged a lot during the holiday.

Therefore, I will not conduct the physical fitness test for now.

After running 20 laps to warm up,

Let's start with an intra-team scrimmage to see who among you adhered to professional ethics during the holiday.

I will divide the group into groups later.

remember,

The losing team didn't simply do push-ups.

Whoever loses, the entire team becomes the opponent's servants for a week, and can be ordered around as they please.

"Yay!!"

"Oh no!!"

Some are happy, some are sad.

If we lose, wouldn't we be unable to hold our heads high for the entire season?

Being a dog for your teammates is definitely the most humiliating thing you can do.

How could Simone even think of that!

Previously, intra-team matches were just a formality.

Now we truly have a reason to win!

In an instant, the entire team's eyes were focused on a few people.

Fernando Torres, Griezmann, Koke, Oblak... and Lu Xiao!

Who can lead the team to victory?

Everyone knows the truth.

Every time head coach Simeone calls out a name, the whole team tenses up.

The groups are now complete.

Looking at the lists of both sides,

Young Argentine winger Angel Correa was almost in tears.

Atletico Madrid's starting lineup

Torres, Griezmann, Koke, Gabi, Godin, Jimenez, Juanfran, Oblak...

All of these people are on Team 1!

The players on both teams are mostly substitutes.

For example, Correa himself is a "substitute surprise weapon".

Others like Oliver, Jackson, Luciano, and Matias are only mid-table in La Liga at best.

How do I play?

The strength is completely unbalanced!

"Coach, I protest!"

Argentine midfielder Mattias Kranevitter looked indignant as he took the bench.

"This grouping is unfair! With only one Asian player leading the team, how are we supposed to play?"

"Oh?"

Simone narrowed his eyes with an unfriendly expression.

Are you questioning me?

"No, no, I wouldn't dare. I just think it's a bit unreasonable."

What gives him the right...?

Seeing that the members of the other two teams were not very satisfied,

Simone simply smiled mysteriously.

"The coaching staff has made a decision, and you can only comply."

Lu, do you think there's a problem with the group assignments?

"No problem!"

Lu Xiao's tone was firm.

Even a fool could figure it out.

Simeone definitely wants to test his abilities and see if the world's most valuable player can lead the second team to compete with the main lineup.

I'd also like to give myself a little nudge, reminding 18-year-olds not to get too cocky.

Don't take your net worth too seriously.

And they wanted to show themselves the strength of Atlético Madrid's starting lineup.

His intentions are all too obvious, Simone.

However, Lu Xiao wasn't afraid at all.

Even with the support of the system, if they can't even beat Atletico Madrid's key players...

How can we talk about the goal of winning six titles?

"Very good, everyone hurry up and change your clothes to warm up!"

Half an hour later,

Let the competition begin!
