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

Lu Xiao had lost count of how many times he had been surrounded by Spanish reporters.

Compared to Bundesliga interviews,

The interview in Spain felt like walking into a vegetable market.

The reporters spewed out words like machine guns, but Lu Xiao's everyday Spanish conversation was no problem.

However, when it comes to slightly more in-depth interview content,

We still need to focus our attention and listen carefully.

Some Spanish journalists also had accents, which made them even harder to understand when they spoke quickly.

It's exhausting to be interviewed.

"Dear Lu, Atletico Madrid successfully completed a comeback today, defeating Valencia 2-1."

Did you anticipate this outcome before the match? How would you evaluate your opponent's performance?

"Valencia is a very resilient and aggressive team."

The first half caused us a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, we seized the opportunity and won the game.

Otherwise, Barcelona and Real Madrid will be happy, but I can't let them have it easy."

Lu Xiao's occasional quirks of humor also made the Spanish journalists quite fond of this young Asian man.

"So, what do you think about people saying that Atletico Madrid can only win because of you, and everyone else is unimportant?"

Lu Xiao glanced at the reporter who asked the question.

He was holding a microphone from Catalan television.

They're obviously up to no good.

Just finished the game,

Lu Xiao's clothes were soaked through, and the sweat on her neck was very uncomfortable.

He had no interest in outsmarting these reporters.

"There's no such thing. My goal was thanks to the whole team."

Each teammate played their part.

"I was lucky to come off the bench and turn the game around."

Excessive humility is just showing off!

Lu Xiao stood there with his head held high, saying he was lucky, but which reporter believed him?

The fact is,

Lu Xiao's appearance can put tremendous pressure on the opponent, both tactically and psychologically.

Sometimes Lu Xiao only needs to stand on the sidelines and wait for a substitution.

The other person's legs had started to tremble.

Finally, after dealing with the noisy reporters,

Lu Xiao then returned to the locker room and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lu. It's all thanks to you today."

"Coach, as long as we win, that's all that matters."

Our opponents are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It would be such a shame to stumble in a competition like this.

For some reason, playing in La Liga is much more stressful than playing in the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga title race is between Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich, which offers more room for error.

Bayern Munich is not invincible in the Bundesliga; they occasionally slip up.

But La Liga seems to have a more rigid hierarchy.

Barcelona have yet to drop any points, while Real Madrid are also keeping a close score.

Anyone who slacks off during regular competitions,

If we make even a few mistakes, we might lose the championship.

Another week of two matches is coming up.

On October 31st, they will play away against Deportivo La Coruña;

On November 3, they will play an away game against Benfica in the Champions League group stage.

Two consecutive back-to-back away games,

Upon seeing the schedule, Atletico Madrid's players couldn't help but groan in despair, their joy of victory somewhat diminished.

"I feel so tired, I want to go on vacation to the beach."

"Then go ahead, I'll kick you out of your position."

"Why should I? If you're so capable, take it yourself!"

Saul and young winger Angel Correa bantered and teased each other.

Speaking of holidays,

Griezmann sighed again.

"Next summer, we probably won't have any vacation time again."

"Oh right, there's also the European Championship next year."

"Antoine, your French team is very strong, you might have a chance."

"That's right, we have a freak on our team..."

Speaking of that pervert,

Griezmann's eyes looked off.

"Who, and how perverted?"

"Is it Martial from Manchester United?"

"You probably haven't heard of his name. He's only 16 years old, and he's just as terrifying as Lu was back then."

"No way?"

After hearing what Griezmann said,

Lu Xiao already knew who it was.

Kylian Mbappé, a 16-year-old Monaco striker, has just joined Monaco's first team.

This young man has not yet made a name for himself, and not many people know about him.

His breakthrough match was the 2018 World Cup, two years later.

Logically speaking, Mbappe shouldn't be eligible to join the French national team at his age.

Is this another butterfly effect?

"What's going on? Is he 16?" Lu Xiao was also puzzled.

"Yes. I met this kid during the French national team's training camp not long ago."

"His physical condition is really good."

Griezmann's eyes were filled with envy.

Their freakish physical abilities and explosive acceleration left the entire French team speechless.

"By the way, this kid said he started doing extra training because you inspired him."

He's a fan of yours.

"Me, a football fan?"

Lu Xiao pointed to his nose, his lips twitching.

The future world number one in football

One of the few world-class superstars since the Messi-Ronaldo era.

Are they their own fans?

"Yeah, he also said he wanted me to help him get an autograph. I almost forgot about it. Lu, could you sign one for me later?"

"Alright."

It really was my own butterfly effect.

This catalyzed Mbappe's development, leading to his exceptional selection for the French national team at the age of 16.

Add to that the phenomenal Martial who just debuted, and guys like Giroud, Kanté, Griezmann, and Pogba,

Next year's European Championship will see host nation France as one of Belgium's biggest rivals.

Of course, the prediction was that Portugal would win the championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a hidden boss.

There might be a chance for Lu Xiao in Belgium.

Who told him to be "Cristiano Ronaldo's nemesis"?

"Winning a European Championship would be great too."

"Lu, what are you thinking about?"

"I think the European Championship title next year will belong to Belgium."

"Oh? Then we'll have to have a good fight!"

Griezmann raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a competitive smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Spain is the champion!!"

Saul couldn't help but interrupt.

"You should join the national team first before we talk about it."

"Damn it, Lu, I'll fight you to the death!"

Having his sore spot touched, Saul was on the verge of tears.

Cheerful laughter filled the locker room.

The European Championship next year is still a long way off.

For now, we're all close teammates, and we need to cope with the upcoming packed schedule.

……

In the 10th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Deportivo La Coruña 1-0 away from home.

Lu Xiao didn't score, but he attracted the attention of four players in the attacking third.

He passed the ball to Torres.

The former Atletico Madrid legend lived up to expectations, accurately striking the bottom corner to score the only goal of the match.

There was no time to celebrate.

Atletico Madrid are about to embark on another team-wide journey.

Head directly to Lisbon, the capital of neighboring Portugal.

Facing the Portuguese champions, Benfica, who are currently second in their Champions League group!

"If we can win this match, we'll be number one in the group!"

Currently in Group C of the Champions League

Atletico Madrid have 3 wins and 9 points, currently ranking first in the group.

Benfica is also very strong, only losing to Atletico Madrid, and successfully defeating Bayer Leverkusen and Astana.

With 6 points, they are currently in second place in the group.

Bayer Leverkusen has lost several key players, and their fighting strength is no longer comparable to that of last season.

Teams that reached the Champions League final last season

They may end up in the embarrassing situation of being eliminated in the group stage.

Unless Atletico Madrid wins this match, Bayer Leverkusen still has a chance.

"We can't afford to lose this match for Leverkusen!"

Portugal's home stadium, Benfica's home stadium, Estádio da Luz.

Lu Xiao started the match.

Standing in the center circle, he stepped on the ball, his disdainful gaze sweeping over his opponents!

Benfica's players seemed to be facing a formidable opponent for the first time, much like the Shaolin Kung Fu team encountering the devilish team for the first time.

I could only feel immense pressure emanating from Lu Xiao.

It loomed over us like a dark cloud!
