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

Chapter 345 Cristiano Ronaldo's One Lifetime Rival

There's a concept in economics called the law of diminishing marginal utility.

It was the first time I was alone with the goddess I had a crush on for so long, and I blushed for ages just trying to say a few words.

If we could just hold hands, my heart rate would probably spike to over 150.

If I could even kiss her on the lips, I'd feel completely dizzy.

Until he officially got together with his goddess, they gradually started living together and spending every day together.

The initial excitement will gradually weaken, requiring more novelty and stronger stimulation.

Otherwise, even the most beautiful goddess will become just so-so after a while.

The economic explanation is that as consumers increase their consumption of a certain good, the incremental utility (satisfaction) they derive from that good gradually decreases.

This concept makes sense in many fields.

Lu Xiao still remembers his first match against Bayern Munich when he first joined the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich, the absolute Bundesliga champions and treble winners of the 2012/13 season, exuded immense pressure.

Lu Xiao stood in the player tunnel, radiating excitement and exhilaration from the inside out!

That's Bayern Munich, a world-class powerhouse!

Me, a 16-year-old Bundesliga newcomer, playing against Bayern Munich!

This is even more exciting than ending Chu Nan's career for the first time!!

Although Lu Xiao hasn't experienced it yet, he's still Xiao Chunan.

After encountering Bayern Munich more often and gradually losing its allure, Lu Xiao no longer felt any emotional turmoil when facing them again.

I almost felt nauseous after seeing Bayern Munich three times a week.

At that time, only the Champions League could excite Lu Xiao, and only Real Madrid and Barcelona could motivate him.

Today,

The 2015/16 Copa del Rey semi-finals have begun!

The opponent is Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's entire squad was ready and lined up in the player tunnel, with Real Madrid's star-studded lineup standing nearby.

Lu Xiao could see superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, and Modric just by turning his head.

His gaze was no different from that of an old monk in deep meditation.

"Ah... it's Real Madrid again."

"Damn it! What's with that look? Getting impatient, huh?"

Before the match, Cristiano Ronaldo spent two hours styling his hair in the locker room, as usual, making it slick and shiny.

The bangs even mimicked Superman's hairstyle, with a slightly curled strand.

As Ronaldo stood confidently in the tunnel, accepting close-up shots from the cameras while pretending to be nonchalant, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

I happened to turn my head and catch a glimpse of Lu Xiao's eyes.

Cristiano Ronaldo immediately became upset.

What does this kid mean?

You're rolling your eyes, aren't you? I saw it, you rolled your eyes! Ugh!

Is that all the hatred you have for someone?

In fact, none of the people present hated Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lu Xiao felt absolutely no emotion; he simply didn't feel any excitement. Playing against Real Madrid and Barcelona was just like going to work.

Even if the system is upgraded today and the template equipment is banned.

"We can see that Lu Xiao is also eager to try today. He performed brilliantly in the last league match, coming on as a substitute to help Atletico Madrid defeat Sevilla 3-0."

"In this Copa del Rey semi-final, one team will lose its chance to win the treble."

"Will Atletico Madrid gain the upper hand, or will Real Madrid exact revenge? Let's get into today's match..."

The Madrid derby was broadcast on Spain's national free-to-air channel.

Free channels typically only broadcast important matches.

There is no game more important than this one.

Unfortunately, on the other side of the world, fans are still desperately searching for a broadcast signal.

On Baidu's "Lu Xiao Bar," many netizens posted online seeking help.

"Please, kind soul, provide a link!"

Where can I watch the Copa del Rey live?

"Does LeTV have the rights to the King's Cup? I want to watch Lu Shen!"

To watch the Copa del Rey, please log in to xxxxx.

"Don't believe what's on the top, it's a porn site."

These are all new fans; as for the veteran fans, they've already logged onto the live stream to find the links.

However, in recent years, as the internet has become more regulated and copyright awareness has gradually increased, unauthorized overseas links have also been banned by Zhibo8.

Only text-based live stream content can be viewed.

Unless you're a fan who's been watching football for over 10 years, you wouldn't know to use a VPN to find live stream links for Spanish or Sky Sports.

Why don't domestic platforms buy copyrights?

"If we actually buy the rights, you won't be happy. We'll make you subscribe, but it'll cost tens of dollars a month and you won't be able to watch many games."

"A season pass probably costs two or three hundred yuan; it's really not easy to watch a game."

It really goes to a lot for domestic fans just to watch a game.

Enduring the latency of the external network and the constant consumption of bandwidth by the accelerator,

They finally saw Lu Xiao's handsome face.

The machine-gun-like Spanish commentary was nagging in my ears.

……

"It's clear that both sides are taking today's Madrid derby very seriously. Now that we've reached the semi-finals, neither team is going to give up easily."

They're just one step away from winning the Copa del Rey.

Atletico Madrid fielded their full-strength lineup.

Goalkeeper: Oblak;

Defenders: Juanfran, Godin, Jimenez, Filipe Luis;

Midfielders: Saul, Koke, Gabi, Griezmann;

Forwards: Lu Xiao, Torres;

"Real Madrid is also fielding its strongest lineup. This is Zidane's first match against a strong team since taking over. Let's see if he can lead Real Madrid back to its dominant position."

"Goalkeeper, Navas."

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo;

Midfielders: Casemiro, Modric, Toni Kroos;

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo...

"The referee's whistle blows, and the 2015/16 Copa del Rey semi-final officially begins!"

Just as Simeone predicted before the match,

Real Madrid did not initially display enough aggression.

They were clearly wary of Atletico Madrid's counterattack and dared not commit their forces rashly.

Marcelo, who always sees himself as a left winger, didn't even cross the halfway line, which shows how cautious Real Madrid is.

"This kid's discipline is that good?"

Lu Xiao was a little surprised.

He also planned to exploit the gaps behind Marcelo to create a penalty threat, but it seems he won't find an opportunity for the time being.

However, Lu Xiao was not in a hurry.

Atletico Madrid and their arch-rivals Real Madrid have faced each other many times, so they know each other inside and out.

With their teammates forming an impenetrable defense, the BBC trio had few good options. Real Madrid should be the ones getting anxious.

Lu Xiao guessed correctly.

The most anxious person in the entire stadium right now is clearly Cristiano Ronaldo.

Every time Real Madrid gained possession, before Modric could even make any moves, Ronaldo would already be raising his hand to call for the ball.

"Vamos!!"

"Here, here!! Pass it on!!"

Pass it over there, Ronaldo could easily waste a shot and send it into the stands.

If you don't pass the ball, Ronaldo will definitely scold you after the game. What's the meaning of not passing the ball to your big brother? Is that reasonable?

"For God's sake! It really is..." Modric was speechless.

He flicked the ball to the left to evade Koke's interception, reached out to block the challenge, and passed the ball to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo didn't even make any forward runs; he just stood there waiting for the ball to come to him. Does he really think he's the boss?

Lu Xiao was desperately chasing back when he saw Ronaldo slow down after receiving the ball and turn to intercept Modric and Toni Kroos.

However, Ronaldo attempted to break through from the left side, his upper body remaining upright, with only his feet wobbling.

Juanfran was speechless.

You don't need to move your upper body; I'll just keep an eye on your shoulders.

As expected, Juanfran's defensive retreat left Ronaldo with no openings.

"Wow, this guy is amazing!!" Ronaldo was shocked. Could Atletico Madrid's full-back really stop him?

hateful!!

Ignoring Benzema's call for the ball on the right, Ronaldo flicked the ball with his heel to change direction and decisively cut inside!

His explosive power allowed him to finally shake off Juanfran's defense.

A powerful shot slammed straight into the goal!

"Holy crap..."

Lu Xiao was a little nervous.

Ronaldo's shot was all bark and no bite; it looked impressive, but it actually flew over the crossbar and into the stands.

"Harmful--"

Cristiano Ronaldo, as always, has a great presence in front of the camera.

When the camera finally zoomed in on him, he made a stiff expression of regret, put his hands on his hips, shook his head and chuckled, then gave Modric a thumbs up for passing the ball, pretending to be the leader of the team.

He's got a whole repertoire of little tricks up his sleeve, it seems like the whole world is watching him.

In fact, Oblak had already quickly taken the goal kick.

A long ball finds the midfield!

Lu Xiao jumped and, taking advantage of his height, temporarily surpassed Modric, heading the ball back to Griezmann.

"A great opportunity!!"

The instant it lands, it turns around and surges forward at high speed!

It lacks the monster intuition of [Bee Joy Return], and also has no positioning skills.

I rely entirely on my accumulated experience and judgment on the field!

After receiving the ball, Griezmann quickly dribbled to the edge of the penalty area and attempted to dribble past Carvajal and Casemiro, who were double-teaming him.

I can't find any good opportunities.

"As expected of Real Madrid."

The defense is very tight.

Griezmann didn't dare to be careless, so he stopped the ball, turned around, and dribbled back, with Carvajal pressing behind him.

Casemiro blocked the angle in the middle.

Gareth Bale tracked back in time, blocking the path to the left-back.

Griezmann was suddenly surrounded, and his pockets were about to be squeezed.

Fortunately, he and Lu Xiao had good chemistry.

Losing sight of him, he made a blind prediction and sent a ball through his legs from under Casemiro!

"Lu, if it were you, you could definitely..."

The wind whistled, and afterimages flickered by!

Lu Xiao appeared behind Casemiro, slightly letting the ball pass him, and used his body to block Toni Kroos's challenge.

He used his left foot to guide the ball backward and attempted to turn.

"Don't even think about it!"

Toni Kroos is also an old rival of Lu Xiao. He defended against Lu Xiao during his time at Bayern Munich, moving ahead to block Lu Xiao's Marseille turn.

We must be extremely vigilant in dealing with Lu Xiao!

"Good timing!!"

Lu Xiao felt a chill run down her spine, realizing how much Tony, the hairdresser, valued her!

The opponent anticipated your prediction!

If you have the 【FengLeHui】 template,

Lu Xiao will definitely hand everything over to "Monster" and try to continue dribbling and breaking through laterally using "Monster Dribbling".

If it's the [Nagi Seishiro] template,

Lu Xiao would try to stop the ball, lift it up, juggle it to create a suitable angle, and then volley it directly.

If it's the [Hyuga Kojiro] template,

Lu Xiao just took a long-range shot.

But none of these templates are available.

In a split second, a decision must be made!

Relying solely on self-awareness is no longer enough.

In high-level football matches, instinct is everything!

If it's a "Bee Joy Return" (蜂乐回), what does it look like with the ball?

Without templates,

Can I really break through a world-class defense?

Who cares!!

There was absolutely no room for thought or worry!

Lu Xiao's body moved faster than his mind!

"Tony Cross and Casemiro are double-teaming him, Lue—"

The commentators were all worried about the moment Lu Xiao would be dispossessed.

Lu Xiao made a move!

As Lu Xiao completed half of his Marseille turn and turned around using his left foot as a pivot, his body twisted 360 degrees, and his right foot suddenly slashed the ball from right to left!

In a flash, a "fried ball" was formed, and the soccer ball, which had been flicked by the right foot, bounced off the left foot.

He blurred into a blur, flashing past between Casemiro and Tony Cross!

"OHHHH—Cruyff turn!! Lu's performance!!!"

"Breakthrough successful!! Facing the defense head-on!!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

The entire Calderon Stadium crowd stood up to watch Lu Xiao's dance on the green!

Although it's not that fancy, it's quite practical!

Ramos arrived a beat too late; Lu Xiao feigned a breakthrough by shifting his shoulder to the left.

He paused for a moment, then quickly surged forward, pulling the ball to the right to dodge.

A change in rhythm to shake off Ramos

Create a shooting angle at the edge of the penalty area.

His right foot lashed out at the ball like a whip!
