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

"Coach Zhang, do you think Atletico Madrid still has a chance to equalize?"

"How should Lu Xiao play when he's effectively neutralized on the field?"

Time was ticking away, minute by minute.

Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona

Time is running out for Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona's tight defensive formation, high-pressing tactics, and 79% possession rate...

Take firm control of the situation.

Lu Xiao barely had any chance to get the ball.

Even when they have the ball, they face outrageous targeting.

He Wei is already starting to worry about Atletico Madrid.

If they fail to win this match and Barcelona widens the gap, it will be disastrous.

It will be much more difficult to catch up after that.

Given Barcelona's form this season,

They almost never drop points against weaker teams; their consistency is so good it's almost despair-inducing.

Judging from the previous game,

Atletico Madrid are finding it difficult to get any opportunities.

The fans were obviously very anxious, so they had to ask guest coach Zhang to say a few words to comfort them from a tactical perspective.

It's the middle of the night, and it's not easy for everyone to stay up so late to watch the game.

"Um... this..."

Old Zhang was speechless for a moment.

He's getting older and often does Champions League commentary.

I also have to travel back and forth between LeEco, Sina, and CCTV.

The old man's mind was a little foggy in the middle of the night.

"The main problem is that Atletico Madrid is currently unable to break through Barcelona's high defensive blockade."

Atletico Madrid's most effective counter-attacking style is currently not working.

Previously, the team relied more on Lu Xiao's individual performance.

But Barcelona's positioning was too dense, and their coordination was excellent.

The midfield and forward lines should press high on ball handlers like Kirk and Gabby.

Cut off all contact with Lu Xiao immediately.

If the ball is passed to the attacking third...

They were able to form a tight encirclement around Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao is a typical ball-handling player; he needs the ball at his feet to make plays.

Previous matches against Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao

More and more teams have thoroughly studied Lu Xiao's characteristics.

Barcelona did absolutely nothing wrong today.

At this point, Barcelona needs someone who is better at off-the-ball movement to disrupt the attacking third.

Atletico Madrid's substitutes also include Correa, Luciano, Carrasco...

"They might be of some use up there."

Although I don't want to admit it,

But Coach Zhang's meaning is already very clear.

Atletico Madrid might be able to create some opportunities by making substitutions.

Lu Xiao has distinctive characteristics.

Barcelona has figured it out.

He's not a player who excels at off-the-ball movement, and he doesn't have a clear advantage in physical confrontations.

It's really easy for them to be contained by Barcelona's midfield and defense.

In the past, we mainly relied on the system's template capabilities to handle these issues.

Without the template today, it seems that Lu Xiao's weaknesses have been fully exposed.

In the footage, Lu Xiao played very hard.

It does look quite difficult.

Even Atlético Madrid assistant coach Jesus couldn't bear to watch.

"Why don't we let Lu rest for a while? He's already done his best."

Simone remained silent.

He just crossed his arms.

His gaze was stern, fixed intently on the field.

"The match has reached the 85th minute, and the score is still 1-2, with Atletico Madrid temporarily trailing."

"Oh? We see Oliver Torres and Correa are getting ready to come on."

"Is Lu Xiao really going to be replaced?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, Lu Xiao was targeted terribly today.

Barcelona committed numerous fouls without receiving any cards.

The referees were also showing favoritism, both overtly and covertly.

Whether it's to protect Lu Xiao's mental state or his physical health, he needs to take a break.

"No!!"

"Don't switch to my Lu Shen!"

"As long as Lu Shen is on the field, miracles will always happen!"

A fan familiar with Bayer Leverkusen, having followed them since Lu Xiao's debut.

People are wailing online.

I wanted to rush up to Simone's face and stop him.

Everyone knows that

If only one player remains on the field who can change the course of the battle...

If only one person on the field can turn the tide...

That must be Lu Xiao!

No matter how disadvantaged he may seem now, Lu Xiao has never disappointed his fans.

Barcelona fans, on the other hand, were very happy.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has already started to smile.

As long as this Asian player is substituted.

Barcelona is definitely going to win today!

Just when everyone was starting to despair and thought Lu Xiao was about to be replaced,

The fourth official raised a light sign!

"Gabi (number 14), Torres (number 9) off the field!"

"Oliver (number 28) and Angel Correa (number 16) come on as substitutes!"

Lu Xiao was not substituted!

Head coach Simeone was still wearing his signature black suit, arms crossed, watching the field.

"Lu, I believe you can do it!"

He Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that as long as God Lu was there, there was hope.

"It looks like the Atlético Madrid coaching staff is going to intensify their attack."

The defensive midfielder Gabi was substituted to replace the exhausted veteran Torres.

Bring on two energetic wing attackers!

Saul moved to the mid lane, partnering with Kirk.

Lu Xiao and Griezmann form a formidable attacking partnership!

Standing on the sidelines, Lu Xiao also thought he was going to be substituted.

He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Coach Simone.

Simone nodded.

It seems the call to attack has been sounded!

Atletico Madrid

Army attack!

……

The addition of Correa and Oliver

This significantly increases Atletico Madrid's attacking threat on the flanks!

The two fresh players are full of energy, and dribbling and speed are their weapons.

For a time, Barcelona's full-backs Alves and Alba were in a very difficult position, with the pressure increasing dramatically.

However, they are, after all, wingers.

Unable to directly threaten the goal.

We still need Griezmann and Lu Xiao to deliver the final blow.

Griezmann is almost too exhausted to run anymore.

He struggled to keep going on the field.

Lu Xiao continued to run tirelessly between the forwards and defenders, sparing no effort in his runs.

Even without the talent for off-the-ball movement,

Lu Xiao can also make up for it with his willpower and physical strength!

"Brother, is it really necessary to risk your life?"

Griezmann watched Lu Xiao's clumsy but tenacious running and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Damn it, I'll risk it! I'll definitely create an opportunity for you!"

86 minutes, 87 minutes, 88 minutes...

The referee team on the sidelines is already calculating the duration of stoppage time.

Barcelona also tightened their attack.

Unable to sustain the physical demands of high-pressing tactics, they try to keep all three lines tightly packed in the midfield and backfield.

Atletico Madrid only had one last chance to launch a siege.

"Barcelona played too solidly, and their tight defense cut off Atletico Madrid's counter-attack space."

"The two wingers who just came on were contained by Barcelona's defensive formation."

He Wei and Coach Zhang exchanged a glance.

They didn't know how to win.

In the media section,

The CCTV crew is still filming footage of the competition.

The camera focused more on Lu Xiao.

Wang Tao, the head of the production team and director, already felt that it was hopeless.

"Later, we'll use Plan A to record some fans' expressions and film some shots of Luka Doncic."

"Little Ma, could you help me think of a way to create an atmosphere of regret or sadness?"

"Brother Wang, it's not over yet, is it? I feel like there's still a chance..."

Ma Fanshu's words were rudely interrupted by Wang Tao.

"What chance? It's hopeless."

Wang Tao shook his head.

For some reason, Barcelona is really having a strange season.

"Hey? Look!! This ball!"

Just when everyone was in despair,

The fans in the stands were almost in tears.

Ma Fanshu suddenly pointed excitedly to the stadium.

It turned out to be an attack by Atletico Madrid.

Angel Correa broke through from the left!

He dribbled past Alves and passed the ball in a cutback pass to Griezmann.

Griezmann was almost exhausted, but he still used his last bit of strength...

Turn around and pass the ball horizontally to the back post.

Mascherano, Pique, Alba, Rakitic,

The four of them were on edge.

They rushed towards Lu Xiao almost simultaneously.

They never let their guard down around this young Asian man!

"They're here!!"

At the critical moment,

Lu Xiao showed absolutely no emotion, remaining extremely calm.

The movements of everyone around me, and the trajectory of the football, formed a clear pattern in my eyes!

Everything is within the calculations!

Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

Completely surrender control of the body to instinct.

come on!

Whatever it is!

Facing what could be the last chance,

Lu Xiao made a move!

With his back to the goal, he took a step forward to the right, his right foot making the first contact with the ball, his toes slightly flicking up to bypass Pique's interception.

At the same time, gently juggle the ball with your knees.

Bypass Rakitic's interception,

Turn and volley!

"Oops!!"

Mascherano and Alba immediately formed a double interception!

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen is fully prepared near the post!

We definitely can't let Lu Xiao score that goal so easily!

"Lu Xiao—Volley Shot!!"

Even the cameras were following Lu Xiao's movements, ready to capture the moment of his volley.

In the blink of an eye,

Lu Xiao exerted full force, swung his leg, and completed the volley shot.

The camera missed its target!

The defender's flying tackle and the goalkeeper's save both missed!

Where's the ball?

Holy crap? A feint!

The camera then focused on Lu Xiao, and the Barcelona players were completely desperate!

Lu Xiao managed to stick the ball to his ankle just as he was about to shoot.

The flower arrangement foot is hooked back from the back and lifted up.

The second time he fooled Pique,

Create a perfect shooting angle!

"That's my shot, you idiot!"

boom--

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Lu Xiao raised his left foot, which was the opposite of his natural foot.

It hits the ball!

Whoosh—

A blur of motion as he hurtled into the top corner of the goal!

The entire room fell silent!

It exploded instantly after half a second!

"Gooooooooal——"

"Lu~~~~~Lu~~~~~"

"Got it!! Beautiful!!"

"Lu Xiao!! Lu Xiao!! The match has just entered stoppage time, and they've successfully tied the game!"

"2 to 2!!"

"Atletico Madrid hasn't given up, and Lu Xiao hasn't given up!"
