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

"Holy crap, it actually exists!"

After scoring, Lu Xiao's first reaction was surprise!

In fact, even with the equipment template, the [Aerial Thunder Beast Shot] cannot guarantee a 100% goal rate.

The shot only slows down the flow of time and grants a super armor effect.

Unaffected by opponents, and with better control over the point of contact with the ball, ensuring that the shooting environment is the same as when there is no interference on the training field.

On the training field, any professional player can achieve a high goal-scoring rate.

To be able to achieve this in a fiercely competitive arena, what seems like an ordinary skill is actually quite extraordinary.

Without the template's support, it's impossible to guarantee a perfect shot by slowing down the flow of time.

Lu Xiao couldn't guarantee the ball would go in; he was at most 6% sure.

I never expected Joe Hart to actually fit the character!

When faced with a world-class goal, you're guaranteed to concede a goal!

Looking at Joe Hart's bewildered face, Lu Xiao initially felt a little sorry for him.

But he was quickly overwhelmed by the excitement of scoring, and he hugged Griezmann, who had passed the ball, to celebrate. He then ran to the away stands to celebrate the goal with the ecstatic fans.

As for Joe Hart,

He may be haunted by inner demons from this point on, until he is tormented to the point of collapse, fades out of the starting goalkeeper position at Manchester City, and eventually has no club to play for.

But so what?

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

Lu Xiao aims to lead Atletico Madrid to the Champions League title.

No one can stop the road to victory!

Even his good friend De Bruyne is not an option!

"Sorry, Joe Hart. Sorry, Kevin. I'm going to win this series."

……

"Manchester City have been playing cautiously lately; Lu Xiao's stunning goal just now has made them hesitant to attack."

"Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, David Silva... then back to Kompany, back to goalkeeper Joe Hart... then on the wing, Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Kompany, Joe Hart..."

The ball was passed around the midfield and backfield, eventually returning to Kompany's feet.

Atletico Madrid did not press high up the pitch, with all three lines neatly blocking their own half.

Like the three walls of Maria, Rose, and Sheena, they kept the giants outside.

Time passed slowly, and the first half was about to end.

Lu Xiao, however, discovered an opportunity!

Joe Hart was a little unwilling!

Because he just scored a world-class goal, Joe Hart has been playing extremely hard lately!

Manchester City's midfield and defense established stable possession and passing, with goalkeeper Joe Hart naturally included in the passing system.

His position near the edge of the penalty area provided an additional and reliable passing option, helping Manchester City maintain possession effectively.

Manchester City's possession once reached 73%, reducing Atletico Madrid's possession.

David Silva and Yaya Toure, the two midfield maestros of Manchester City, have begun to try to close the gap.

De Bruyne is also secretly preparing, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Joe Hart's position also gradually moved out of the penalty area.

Manchester City's overall forward press compressed Atletico Madrid into their own 30-meter zone.

"Saul!"

"Antoine!"

Lu Xiao quickly called out the names of his two teammates.

Griezmann on the left, Saul on the right, the three quickly exchanged glances and instantly communicated their opinions.

Immediately afterwards, Griezmann gave a thumbs-up, indicating that he already knew.

Saul moved closer to Lu Xiao's position at the same time.

This is the tacit understanding that the three have developed over half a season. No need for many words, a single glance is enough to understand each other's meaning.

"Atletico Madrid has been under a lot of pressure lately. Manchester City has been trying to press their goal, and they don't want to go back to the dressing room with a draw at home."

"Aguero is constantly making runs and infiltrations in the penalty area."

"Great, De Bruyne!! That was an imaginative play!! Too bad Godin intercepted it in time!"

hiss--

Aguero made a diagonal run, intending to rush into the open space behind Godin.

De Bruyne immediately delivered a curling shot!

A low pass perfectly bypassed left-back Filipe Luis! Heading straight for the half-space!

Aguero was about to make a diagonal cut into the box.

At the crucial moment, Godin's perfect positioning blocked the passing lane, and he reached out to intercept the ball!

"Godin! A crucial interception!"

Zhan Jun slapped his thigh!

Veteran Godin's impact was so obvious! No wonder he's Uruguay's starting center-back!

In reality, Godin was also sweating profusely!

In countless training sessions before the match, Lu Xiao consciously used De Bruyne's passing strategy.

At the beginning, the defense was under great pressure. Every time Lu Xiao passed the ball, although his technique was not perfect, his timing and route were always unexpected!

Leveraging his familiarity with De Bruyne, Lu Xiao achieved a similar effect to De Bruyne.

Through repeated drills, Godin grasped De Bruyne's thought process.

At a crucial moment, he had a flash of inspiration and made a diagonal run to intercept the ball!

Before the Manchester City players could react, they all rushed towards Godin.

At the same time, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho instinctively lunged towards Atletico Madrid's midfield pivot.

Both Koke and Gabi, the two defensive midfielders, were tightly marked.

Godin either clears the ball with a long kick or passes it to the two full-backs, greatly reducing the counter-attacking threat.

Of course, this is just a standard method.

Godin was spoiled by Lu Xiao, and his first reaction was to handle the situation unconventionally!

He chose the riskiest approach: a low, curved long pass aimed directly at Lu Xiao's position in the center circle!

"Give it directly to Lu Xiao!!"

Lu Xiao quickly retreated and secured a position in front of left-back Clichy.

"Left side? Right side?"

Former Arsenal left-back Clichy's brain has gone blank; all he can think about is how to defend against Lu Xiao's breakthroughs.

In his eyes, Lu Xiao's breakthrough posed the greatest threat.

He gripped Lu Xiao's jersey tightly with both hands, almost tearing the jersey out of shape.

Even if Lu Xiao makes flashy moves to break through, Klichy is confident he can foul Lu Xiao to keep him in the game.

However, at the crucial moment

Lu Xiao actually flicked his foot backward with the outside of his foot!

"Wait, pass the ball?"

This was completely unexpected by Krish!

With both defensive midfielders focused on marking Atletico Madrid's two defensive midfielders, the gap between the center-backs and midfielders is temporarily unmarked.

With his back to the wall and no vision, who should Lu Xiao pass to? Should he just pass it randomly?

The next second, the sound of hurried footsteps behind Chris made his heart tighten!

"Saul!!! Beautiful!!!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Xiao deftly flicked the ball with the outside of his foot, just as Saul made a diagonal run and received it in the middle!

The moment Krish's attention was drawn, Lu Xiao took the opportunity to turn around and break free, rushing down the sideline!

Saul turned to the left and moved in with Griezmann.

Manchester City's attention was quickly drawn to Griezmann's forward run.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart didn't immediately return to the goal, but instead tried to move to the right to prevent Griezmann from having a one-on-one opportunity and to intercept the pass immediately.

From a conventional perspective, Griezmann is undoubtedly the primary threat target.

Saul raised his foot to pass, but Clichy abandoned Lu Xiao and sprinted towards Saul, joining forces with the pressing center-back Otamendi to double-team him!

"Saul!!"

With the world's attention focused on Saul and Griezmann

Unexpectedly, Saul suddenly stopped, dodged Otamendi, and went for the steal.

A diagonal shot was delivered with the outside of the right foot!

"Beautiful, move it to the right!!"

"Lu Xiao!!!"

Lu Xiao receives the ball on the right wing!

We have a chance to drive straight in!

"Oops!"

Kompany immediately moved to this side, while the busy Krishnamurti suddenly stopped and changed direction, running back to tackle Lu Xiao.

After all, he was a former Arsenal starting left-back and a top-class full-back in the Premier League.

The sliding tackle was very tricky and was able to block Lu Xiao's dribbling route in time.

At worst, it could force Lu Xiao to stop abruptly and break free, thus slowing down the advance.

But at that very moment!

To everyone's surprise, Lu Xiao didn't continue to accelerate and dribble, but suddenly took a shot!

A shot that came out of nowhere from the sideline!

Fierce Tiger!

boom--

"What?"

Joe Hart's pupils contracted sharply, and before he could run back to the door, a blur flashed past his eyes!

The football, carrying immense momentum, hurtles into the net!

"this……"

"hiss--"

Zhan Jun took a deep breath and exploded instantly!

"Goal! Lukaku scores another world-class goal!!"

"A sudden burst of energy from the wing! A long-range shot from over 36 meters finds the back of the net!!"

"A second time!"

"Just before halftime, Atletico Madrid took the lead! They now lead Manchester City 2-1 away from home!"

"Another crucial battle, another Champions League knockout stage, and Lukaku is starting to unleash his power again!"

"After falling behind early on, Lukaku single-handedly turned the tide, helping Atletico Madrid successfully take the lead!"

Amidst the jubilation of Atletico Madrid fans,

Not far away, Manchester City player Kevin De Bruyne looked troubled.

"Lu, is this the lesson you've learned?"

There were no fancy tricks involved in what just happened.

More importantly, it's the excellent teamwork between Atletico Madrid's front three.

And Lu Xiao's keen insight into the game.

I thought it would be a match based on skill, but you ended up using your brain!

"I won't give up easily, Lu. You said I'd be the world's best midfielder in the future..."

"So, I'm going to prove it!"

As the Manchester City players looked on blankly...

On the field, only De Bruyne's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
