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

Bernabéu.

The second leg of the Spanish Copa del Rey semi-final.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid returned to their home ground with great momentum, especially their star player Cristiano Ronaldo, who was extremely aggressive today.

Upon seeing Lu Xiao in the passageway, he couldn't help but walk up to her.

In the past, when threatening Messi, Ronaldo could use his height advantage to apply pressure and find a sense of superiority.

But Lu Xiao was about the same height as him, so he had no advantage whatsoever.

In Lu Xiao's eyes, this guy was like a simpleton, rushing straight up and then... getting stuck in an awkward situation.

Just as I was about to say something to break the awkward silence,

Unexpectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo secretly stood on his tiptoes, trying to artificially create a height difference!

He seemed to be putting on an act on the surface, but was actually secretly plotting something, as if he thought Lu Xiao hadn't discovered him...

Lu Xiao almost lost his composure.

Are you a primary school student? How childish!

"Just say what you want to say, the competition is about to start."

"..." Cristiano Ronaldo paused.

The momentum they had painstakingly built up was easily shattered, leaving them feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The trash talk, which had been brewing for so long, would lose its offensive power if it lost its initial momentum, but he couldn't just stand there awkwardly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it fiercely:

"Today is my home turf, and this time, I won't..."

"Yes, yes, I won't lose to you again. Can you move aside now? Get ready to go on stage."

Lu Xiao anticipated Ronaldo's prediction and walked straight away from him.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood there stunned for half a second, almost turning red with anger.

Damn it!!! This guy!!!

"Cristiano, what's wrong? Did you threaten him too much?"

Marcelo leaned closer with a mischievous grin.

Cristiano Ronaldo almost took his anger out on Marcelo, but thankfully he controlled his temper:

"That's right, he was so scared that he ran away."

"As expected of you! Only you can suppress that Asian."

"..."

Marcelo was flattering him, but why couldn't Ronaldo be happy?

"Go, go, go, get in line."

Cristiano Ronaldo kicked Marcelo, leaving Marcelo completely bewildered, like Louis XVI.

What exactly did I do to offend my brother?

……

Let's leave aside the pre-match group photos and handshakes for now.

The tension was palpable from the very first minute after the whistle blew.

If both sides were still somewhat wary of their opponent's strength in the first round, they acted quite cautiously.

In the next round, let's just roll up our sleeves, grab our weapons, and get right to it!

Atletico Madrid won possession, and after the kickoff, Lu Xiao passed the ball back to defensive midfielder Gabi.

Logically, Gabi could have stabilized the pace, controlled the ball for a second or two, and passed it forward when there was an opportunity, or passed it back when there wasn't.

But it was that one second of pause that...

Benzema on the other side accelerated forward and slid in to bring down both him and the ball!

This is just the beginning, and less than 5 seconds of the game have passed!

beep—

The referee blew a short whistle and rushed over to check the situation.

Since it was an opening foul, Benzema did not make any unnecessary movements, such as lifting his shoe sole or tripping the opponent.

The referee simply awarded a free kick in the backfield without even issuing a warning.

"Damn it! You son of a bitch..."

Saul was about to start an argument when Torres grabbed him.

Strength needs to be put into the game, not into pointless arguments.

Benzema seemingly helped Gabi up in a friendly manner, but glancing behind him, he saw the entire Atletico Madrid squad glaring at him fiercely.

This sent a chill down the spine of the French striker; he felt he was about to face retribution.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Real Madrid launched an attack into the attacking third.

Ronaldo couldn't get through on the left, so he passed the ball across to the middle.

Benzema dropped back to receive the pass, while Ronaldo and Bale simultaneously surged forward from the flanks, and Modric and Kroos rushed up from the back to support him.

Marcelo and Carvajal quickly overlapped on the wing.

Benzema has at least five points where he can pass, and each of them is a huge threat.

Just as he was shielding the ball from Gabi and about to pass it to Bale, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and tackled Benzema and the ball to the ground!

Saul tackled the ball and got up without looking back.

"That kid got away with it."

Lu Xiao shook his head and sighed.

But that's the fighting spirit of Atlético Madrid; when teammates are bullied, no one will back down.

If there's a grudge, it'll be settled on the spot!

The nearly 8 people in the Bernabéu stadium gave a deafening, overwhelming chorus of boos.

Booed by 8 people, Saul acted like a rock star, putting his hands on his ears.

Regardless of what Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid think, the referee is having a bit of a headache.

He was trying to pull out his cards, but Saul is too arrogant!

But if a card is given directly, Benzema's tackle was even more outrageous than Saul's, and the difference in refereeing standards between the two sides could lead to complaints.

The referee was fair and impartial; he only gave a verbal warning and did not draw a card.

The Real Madrid players were very dissatisfied and wanted to argue with the referee, but were glared at and turned away.

There was nothing else they could do but vent their anger on Atlético Madrid.

The two sides immediately engaged in the "Battle of Verdun" in midfield, with large areas from their respective penalty areas to the center line turning into a meat grinder, with players falling over and the game falling apart in an instant.

"This is the Madrid derby! The two sides truly are mortal enemies."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think this was some kind of unrestricted fighting game..."

If football had the one-on-one rules of ice hockey, at least one player would be dead on the field today.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the referee could no longer resist and started dealing cards.

"Ohhhhhh—Saul!! He tackled Ronaldo to the ground, and the referee promptly pulled out a yellow card!"

"Only half an hour into the first half, two players from each side have received yellow cards."

Atletico Madrid left-back Filipe Luis and right winger Saul received cards;

Real Madrid right-back Carvajal and right winger Gareth Bale received cards.

As expected, Atletico Madrid intensified their attack down the left flank, seizing upon their opponent's weaknesses to launch a fierce counterattack!

The reason why Carvajal and Gareth Bale both received yellow cards for Real Madrid was because the pressure on the right side was too great.

Lu Xiao frequently visited Atletico Madrid's left flank today.

"Lu, strengthen your connection with Antoine today. We'll focus on breaking through one side and test their resilience."

This was head coach Simeone's strategy before the match.

Just like the tactics Ancelotti used to manage Real Madrid years later, they launched a fierce attack on Vinicius' side, with Rodrygo, Benzema, Modric and others relentlessly attacking that side.

This is no longer an open strategy; it's pure brute force overpowering all techniques!

I'm asking you, are you going to defend against it or not!

If you focus on protecting this side, Ronaldo's possession will decrease, increasing the pressure on Bale and Carvajal.

If we don't deploy heavy troops for defense

Lu Xiao's combination play with Griezmann and Torres on the left flank is enough to break through Real Madrid's defenses.

Carvajal is already Real Madrid's most reliable player.

The most domineering aspect of this tactic, however, is that...

The stronger your defender is, the bigger the gap will be on that side once you break him down!

"One more wave!"

"no problem!"

Lu Xiao and Griezmann have been battling for more than half a year, and they no longer need complicated communication; a single glance is enough!

The game restarts, and the ball is awarded to Lu Xiao from the throw-in.

Lu Xiao subconsciously utilized the muscle memory developed from Nagi Seishiro's maxed-out ball control.

He gently nudged the ball with his chest, dodged Modric's charge forward, flicked the ball over his head with his toes, and turned to block Modric's position.

There's nothing we can do about it; Modric is good at everything, except he's too short.

Lu Xiao can easily outmaneuver this kind of high-altitude ball!

Even with [Nagi Seishiro]'s maxed-out ball control ability, Lu Xiao can currently only utilize 70% of it.

That's enough!

"Beautiful!! Lu Xiao's lobbed pass to get past two players!! Again!! A nutmeg past two!!"

Real Madrid deployed a large force, with the "ceremony three midfielders" clustered together to defend Lu Xiao.

Logically speaking, it should be a sure thing.

But Lu Xiao did it!

No, just because it's not off doesn't mean it's on!

Due to a system upgrade, Lu Xiao did not equip any templates today.

But this also means that long-term muscle memory can simultaneously unleash the abilities of [Nagi Seishiro] and [Hive Raku]!

Now you don't have to worry about which template to use anymore.

After I've used them, they're all mine!

Lu Xiao then realized more clearly that

My biggest bug isn't the system, but the muscle memory that the system has cultivated over a long period of time!

This is a natural SSS-level talent that is even more monstrous than any S-level template!

He chipped the ball over Modric, then shifted his shoulder to the right to change direction, while simultaneously flicking the ball through Casemiro's legs with his right foot!

The change in rhythm caught Casemiro off guard for a moment, allowing Lu Xiao to continue dribbling past him!

"Oh shit!!"

Casemiro's physical strength was too great; he almost pushed Lu Xiao out of bounds.

Lu Xiao's physical strength is still slightly inferior to that of a world-class muscular waist.

However, he turned the tables on him, pretending to lose his balance and go astray, then suddenly delivered two punches (not really)...

Suddenly, he stretched out his foot, flicked the ball with his heel, changed direction again, and simultaneously nutmegged Tony Kroos while making a U-turn to receive the ball beside him.

He dribbled past three players on the sideline!

The abilities of [Nagi Seishiro] and [Hive Raku] were fused together and smoothly utilized by Lu Xiao!

A huge hole suddenly appeared in Real Madrid's backfield!

For the first time, Zinedine Zidane, the usually calm and smiling manager, showed a look of panic!

He stared intently at the field in disbelief!

Seeing Carvajal hesitate and dare not foul, Lu Xiao sent a stylish arc with the outside of his right foot, aiming straight for the ribs.

He made a diagonal run towards the top of the penalty area.

Griezmann easily bypassed Carvajal, then dribbled past Ramos's defensive zone with a feint, and cut inside!

Navas, Ramos, and even Varane's attention was drawn to Griezmann and Torres.

crucial moment,

Griezmann displayed his football intelligence perfectly, feigning a pass-shot before suddenly stopping and delivering a cutback pass!

The most dangerous figure has already rushed into the restricted area!

A powerful shot fired when no one was watching!

Fierce Tiger!

boom--

Accompanied by the roar of tigers and the cry of dragons,

The football slammed into the net!

In a fleeting moment, the vast Bernabéu Stadium, a world-class venue capable of holding over 8 people,

Lu Xiao's goal turned the place into a library!
