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

Ernesto Valverde could never have imagined it.

Since Lu Xiao came to La Liga,

Valverde is studying how to limit Lu Xiao.

Scouting reports indicate that Lu Xiao's strengths include high-speed dribbling breakthroughs, perfect ball control and escape from the penalty area, and powerful and accurate shots both inside and outside the penalty area.

Anyone who can combine these three elements is already considered a monster in the football world.

It's like a combination of Kaká, Rivaldo, and Adriano.

The greatest player in Brazilian history has been molded into a monster.

No wonder he was able to dominate in the Bundesliga, breaking goal records in both of his debut seasons.

They forcibly led an unknown Bayer Leverkusen to the Champions League final, winning the Bundesliga double.

Thanks to Lu Xiao,

De Bruyne, Son Heung-min, Firmino, Maguire, Van Dijk, and others have all attracted attention in European football, causing their market value to skyrocket.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Fortunately, even a football god like Lu Xiao has weaknesses.

The scouting report Valverde received clearly pointed out that

Due to insufficient muscle strength, Lu Xiao remains at a disadvantage in physical confrontations.

He struggles to make an impact against the close marking of tough defenders like Pepe and Yaya Touré.

For this,

Lu Xiao consciously avoided confrontation.

Utilize technology and initiate a breakout early to seize a favorable position.

So when competing against teams like the Bundesliga and La Liga, which aren't as overly aggressive,

Lu Xiao wasn't under much pressure.

As for hidden weaknesses,

Lu Xiao currently only has one entry.

"Their off-the-ball movement, or their awareness of team tactical cooperation, is relatively weak compared to top players."

Therefore, in high-level competitions,

Lu Xiao's highlights are more a reflection of his personal abilities.

Unable to lead teammates to create a threat from a tactical perspective.

Lu Xiao's previous collaborations with his teammates were mostly small-scale, possession-based plays.

When a teammate has the ball

Lu Xiao's positioning is often very rigid.

It is easy to predict.

In last season's Champions League knockout stage, in the three matches against Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid,

Leverkusen are in a very disadvantageous situation.

Lu Xiao was invisible on the field for more than half the time.

However, his highlights overshadowed these shortcomings.

Therefore, at the end of the scouting report,

Athletic Bilbao's analysts still concluded:

"Lu's strengths are enough to make up for his weaknesses, and his style of holding possession of the ball is enough to defeat most opponents."

He remains one of the three most dangerous players in the world, even more so than Ronaldo and Messi…

Ernesto Valverde pondered deeply over the scouting report.

He actually found inspiration in Mourinho's defensive tactics back then.

That's an upgraded version of the "Hack-a-Merry" tactic.

Instead of looking out for his teammates, Lu Xiao was constantly surrounded and physically interfered with by two or more players every time he had the ball.

Don't let Lu Xiao easily control the ball and get past them, don't let him shoot easily.

Whenever there is a movement to break free or shoot, the first thing to do is to make a physical contact.

If all else fails, resort to tactical fouls to disrupt the play.

The home team's refereeing was more lenient.

Athletic Bilbao can engage in reckless and brutal tackling.

Ernesto Valverde, later Barcelona manager,

That's quite impressive.

Mourinho was able to use this tactic to neutralize Messi back then.

Today, Valverde also used this tactic to freeze Lu Xiao for 20 minutes.

That's why Athletic Bilbao was able to completely dominate Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's substitutes were overwhelmed and had no one to support Lu Xiao, leaving him to fight alone for most of the time in the attacking third.

Just as Valverde was feeling smug and believed his tactics had succeeded.

Lu Xiao's [Thunder Beast Descends] caught him off guard!

"What's going on? This is allowed?"

Lu Xiao was clearly entangled and was about to be pushed to the ground.

In an instant, the defense became a mere formality!

How could Lu Xiao score a goal while being surrounded by three players?

"Hehe, hehe..."

Valverde leaned back in his chair, his lips twitching.

His beliefs crumbled.

……

"I originally wanted him to cooperate more with his teammates and lead them in the game."

"Who would have thought that he would rely solely on his own abilities?"

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was stunned.

The deeper purpose of having Lu Xiao lead the substitute players is to cultivate Lu Xiao's teamwork skills and leverage tactics to mobilize the entire team.

It's like a teacher posing a difficult geometry problem, hoping that students will use the newly learned knowledge to draw auxiliary lines and apply the formula step by step to solve it.

Unexpectedly, this student used brute force.

The correct result is obtained by directly and accurately visually estimating the length data.

Simeone was both amused and exasperated on the coaching bench.

"Diego, this is a good thing for Lu Xiao. He is already strong enough. He doesn't need to change his playing style. He is already good enough to lead the team to success."

Why bother?

"No, I know he has even more terrifying potential."

Perhaps they will develop into players we've never seen before.

Simeone's understanding of football is beyond imagination.

If Lu Xiao truly awakens his off-the-ball movement ability and further improves his passing skills...

That would be an unprecedented hexagonal monster in the world of football!

A football god with no weaknesses!

……

[Thunder Beast Descends] Violently Breaks Through the Door

The morale on the field has reversed dramatically.

Athletic Bilbao, fearing repercussions, dared not press forward further in their attack.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

Atletico Madrid were finally able to organize their attacks.

"I see, that's probably how the coach is..."

Lu Xiao on the field also realized something.

I gradually came to understand Simone's inexplicable tactical arrangements.

These substitute players around me are just not famous, but their actual abilities are all quite good, and their level is relatively average.

When you are being heavily targeted by your opponent

If you can use passing and off-the-ball movement to create opportunities and leverage the team's overall strength, you can indeed create chances.

Lu Xiao is used to playing with the ball.

I definitely don't feel comfortable without the ball.

"Who cares, let's win first."

I'll give my brothers the 3 points I promised!

Before the end of the first half,

Lu Xiao was closely marked by two players in front of the penalty area, and with his back to goal, he passed the ball to left winger Oliver Torres.

After Oliver Torres was thoroughly defeated by Lu Xiao in a 1v1 match,

They had long since submitted to him.

The message was relayed to the front immediately.

Lu Xiao moved into position, and the [Nagi Seishiro] support template was activated!

A perfect lobbed pass around the center-back's side.

At the same time, turn around and break through from the other side!

"Beautiful!!! Bergkamp's dance moves!!"

A tribute to Dennis Bergkamp, ​​the Ice Prince!

Lu Xiao's dazzling dribbling moves drew thunderous applause from the entire audience.

Received the ball at the edge of the penalty area and decisively volleyed it into the air.

boom! !

【Nagi Seishiro】Hardcore shooting skills,

Combined with [Hyuga Kojiro]'s aerial Thunder Beast Shot,

The football formed an unsolvable falling leaf arc, bypassing the goalkeeper's outstretched fingers, grazing the bottom edge of the crossbar and falling into the goal!

"OHHHHH——Luu Shaaaaaw——"

"Goooooooal!!"

"A magnificent Lucasian acrobatic performance!! A brace!! He breaches Atletico Madrid's goal once again!!"

"Watching him play football is simply an art form!"

After the commentary on conquering Germany,

Spanish national television commentator José Ángel has become a fan of Lu Xiao again.

0-2!

Leading the substitutes, Lu Xiao has already secured 3 points!

"That kid."

"It seems there's no need for us to participate anymore."

"What should we do? He's stolen all the limelight."

"Damn it!! I'll definitely make him treat me later!"

Atletico Madrid's substitutes

Torres, Griezmann, and Saul all expressed their feelings.

I thought it would be a tough away game.

When necessary, we still need to bring on these key players to turn the tide.

did not expect,

Lu Xiao single-handedly ended the battle.

It was as if Simone had built a stage specifically for Lu Xiao.

He stole the show and became the star of the San Mamés stadium.

72th minute of the second half,

Considering there is a Champions League match in four days,

Simeone substituted Griezmann for Lu Xiao, giving Lu Xiao more rest time.

When Lu Xiao left the field

The Bilbao home fans couldn't help but stand up and applaud their respectable opponent.

One match won over the passionate Basque fans.

This is something that even Messi and Ronaldo would find difficult to do.

"With 8 goals in 3 games, Atletico Madrid are currently leading La Liga with a perfect 3-0 record!"

Next up, Real Madrid and Barcelona will be trembling!

I have a feeling that Lu is not only the king of Wanda Metropolis,

He will dominate La Liga!
