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

"Lu, you came off the bench today and scored two goals. How would you rate your performance?"

"So-so, just average performance."

"Mr. Lu, this is Madrid TV. Why do you always score goals when you come off the bench? Is there a secret to it?"

Because I'm a cheater.

Lu Xiao muttered a curse to himself.

"Because I am good at observing the details of the game from the bench, I can see things very clearly from the sidelines when my vision is limited on the field."

As long as you think more about how to win and how to exploit your opponent's weaknesses to create opportunities,

Anyone can do that.

Upon hearing his words, the surrounding reporters all wore awkward yet polite smiles.

Can anyone do that?

"So, will you start against Manchester City in three days? Can Atletico Madrid beat Manchester City?"

"I will follow the coaching staff's arrangements for the specific lineup, but I hope to get more playing time."

Lu Xiao's answer was very official this time, which made Miss Hannah Moir, who was not far away, breathe a sigh of relief.

She was always worried that Lu Xiao's unrestrained remarks would cause controversy.

Each time, her PR team has to help Lu Xiao resolve public opinion crises.

"Whether we can beat Manchester City or not, of course we have a chance; our goal is the championship."

There's not much to say.

Atletico Madrid is currently the third-best team to win the title, although their odds are almost identical to Barcelona's.

Real Madrid has the highest odds.

Given the relatively weak competition in the upper half of the bracket, Real Madrid is highly likely to advance to the final.

The battle in the lower half of the bracket will undoubtedly be more intense, which is not favorable for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

As for teams like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain,

They were just unlucky to run into three teams from the most prosperous period of La Liga.

If you want to see La Liga decline, you'll probably have to wait another 10 years.

At that time, any Premier League team will be able to bully La Liga teams.

Real Madrid and the Greek team Olympiacos played a tough game, both of them sweating profusely.

Barcelona were thrashed 3-0 by Chelsea.

Arsenal thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0

Manchester City, whose strength has declined, easily defeated Villarreal 2-0.

Liverpool have fallen so low that they're getting slaughtered in the Premier League.

As a result, they were still able to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The former "Big Three" of the Spanish Super League are now like elderly people, easily bullied by strong young men.

……

Embracing victory, the entire Atlético Madrid squad boarded a plane a day later and flew to Manchester.

"The sky in Manchester is quite blue."

"What do you mean? Isn't the sky in Manchester red?"

"Please, it's already turned blue."

The plane flew over Manchester.

Griezmann and Saul saw that the weather outside the window was nice and started making jokes.

Thankfully, there were no Manchester United fans present, otherwise I would have really cried in front of them.

What happened to my former Premier League champions?

What's wrong with Manchester United?

It was thought that world-renowned manager Louis van Gaal could save Manchester United, but who knew that under his leadership, Manchester United accelerated its decline and couldn't be pulled back.

With investments approaching 1 million this summer, Van Gaal has earned the nickname "Van the Billionaire" on the Chinese internet.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless. Martial, who was signed for a high price, was quite amazing in the first few games.

As a result, their performance has been getting worse and worse lately.

On the contrary, it was the young player Rashford, who was promoted from the youth academy, who performed brilliantly and saved Van Gaal from being sacked.

Rashford has also earned the nickname "Rashford Master".

Thinking about what Rashford later went through, Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile.

Manchester United is like a black hole for its stars and coaches; no matter who goes in, it doesn't work, but once they come out, they always unleash amazing fighting power.

Ten years later, Liverpool manager Sloot led the team on a downward spiral.

Lu Xiao thought they could fire Slott.

Go and invite your fellow Dutchman, who is currently unemployed, to come out of retirement and save Liverpool.

That's right, it's that bald guy!

Lost in thought the whole way, Lu Xiao and his team checked into a five-star hotel in Manchester.

The next day, we went to the Etihad Stadium to get used to the field.

The pre-match preparations proceeded smoothly, and before we knew it, it was time for the Champions League match day.

"Hey Jude, don't make it bad!"

"Take a sad song and make it better~~~"

Early in the morning, Lu Xiao was awakened by singing outside the hotel.

It's Manchester City fans' favorite song, "Hey Jude".

Looking down through the window,

Many Manchester City fans wearing blue jerseys made a lot of noise outside the hotel, deliberately singing songs to disturb the Atletico Madrid players' sleep.

Clearly, they had already learned about Atlético Madrid's hotel information and came specifically to cause trouble for their rivals.

These fans were already drunk before 6 a.m.

I don't know where these football hooligans came from.

It is a specialty of England.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone, looking furious, stormed out of his room with his hair all messed up to call the police.

Manchester police clearly didn't take it seriously. They said on the phone that they would resolve the issue, but it took at least an hour for them to slowly arrive in their police cars and disperse the group of football hooligans.

Looking at his Atletico Madrid teammates, they were all unable to sleep and were completely distracted.

"Let's not let this affect your performance, shall we?"

Griezmann, who shared the same room, was quite worried about his teammate. His own eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept well.

"I hope so."

Lu Xiao couldn't sleep, so he drank a bottle of regular Red Bull to try and boost his physical and mental energy.

Then I went to the hotel gym to do some cardio.

After taking a shower, covered in sweat, Lu Xiao felt much better.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the rest of Atletico Madrid's teammates seemed a bit confused.

"Remember not to eat too much, there's a competition this evening."

"Go exercise after you eat!"

The coaching staff kept reminding the players in the restaurant, and they were a bit puzzled by the state of these young men.

Sure enough, all sorts of problems tend to arise whenever we play away games.

Lu Xiao had encountered this more than once or twice.

Previously, when we were in Bayer Leverkusen, opposing fans set off fireworks outside the hotel, disturbing the peace at three or four in the morning.

People who lack sportsmanship will use various methods to create difficulties for the visiting team.

As a professional athlete, you can't complain or blame others.

We can only try our best to overcome external troubles and adjust our own state as much as possible.

……

"Welcome to LeTV Sports. Today we bring you the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 15/16 UEFA Champions League."

Premier League powerhouse Manchester City will host La Liga challenger Atletico Madrid at the Etihad Stadium!

Lu Xiao!

Three days ago in La Liga, Lu Xiao came off the bench and scored twice, bringing his La Liga goal tally to 42...

"Good heavens!"

LeSports' wisest choice was to invite Zhan Jun to join them and also invite Coach Zhang to co-commentate on the Champions League.

As a result, many fans have televisions at home and can easily watch CCTV5.

They will still choose to watch the game online for Zhan Jun.

Of course, He Wei also has many fans who are waiting in front of the TV for the game to start.

Coach Zhang and Zhan Jun worked together very well, like a comedian playing the straight man, much like Yu Qian. I couldn't help but admire them.

No wonder he's the most popular superstar in China!

Lu Xiao is shining on the world stage, and Coach Zhang couldn't be happier.

The only regret is that he was snatched away by the Belgian Football Association when he was only 16 years old, and was unable to represent the Chinese national team.

Coach Zhang dared not imagine what it would be like if Lu Xiao could represent the national team.

Does that mean we can lead the team into the World Cup?

"De Bruyne joined Manchester City from Bayer Leverkusen this season and has performed brilliantly in the Premier League, currently topping the assist charts."

These two Belgian stars will engage in a fierce battle today, each representing their own team!

Zhan Jun's hands began to tremble slightly as he provided commentary.

The big battle that fans have been looking forward to for almost a month is about to begin!
