Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.
Chapter 378 Manchester City's Desperate Counterattack
"OHHHHH——"
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm round of applause to the hero who just scored!"
"Atletico Madrid scores! Goal scorer, number 10—"
"Luuuuuuu Shaaaaww!!!"
The DJ at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was a Latino man with a rather rough and enthusiastic voice, who led nearly 6 fans in chanting Lu Xiao's name in unison.
Meanwhile, Lu Xiao's domineering celebration on the field made the fans even more enthusiastic.
The entire stadium is like an erupting volcano!
Dried bamboo shoots wrapped up!
Looking at the scene before him, Kevin De Bruyne let out a long breath and unconsciously clenched his fists.
The scoreboard displayed a glaring 1-0.
Even more glaring is the small print in parentheses: 4-2!
Atletico Madrid are leading Manchester City 4-2 on aggregate, and if they don't work harder, they will be eliminated.
David Silva, the organization's core leader, was a bit bewildered and didn't know what to do.
Only the flame in Aguero's eyes had not yet disappeared.
"Ah Kun".
"Kevin?"
"Later, try inserting yourself between number 24 and number 20."
"clear."
Aguero didn't question De Bruyne; he knew very well how much energy this shy Belgian possessed.
Atletico Madrid's center-back number 24, Jiménez, lacks experience and is a bit rash.
Juanfran, the right-back number 20, likes to push forward.
There are certain opportunities between the center-backs and full-backs!
If De Bruyne's passes are accurate enough, he can indeed exploit the few gaps in the ironclad defense!
Most teams find it difficult to capitalize on fleeting opportunities.
De Bruyne can definitely do it!
……
"Atletico Madrid, who were in the lead, gradually took control of the ball and did not completely rely on counter-attacks, but instead tried to control the ball and delay the game as much as possible."
Coach Xu Yang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
After a season of adjustment, Atletico Madrid is now at its full strength!
While maintaining a solid defense, they also possess the ability to control the ball and advance in positional attacks.
The arsenal doesn't only have the weapon of defense and counter-attack.
Under strict discipline, the team has become more comprehensive in both offense and defense.
That's why Atletico Madrid is one of the favorites to win the Champions League.
"Lu Xiao's addition this year has given Atletico Madrid more opportunities to advance with the ball. The goal just now was an opportunity that Lu Xiao created through his creativity."
Atletico Madrid lead 4-2 on aggregate and have three away goals.
This means that Manchester City needs to score at least 3 goals to win, and if they score 2 goals and the score is 4-4, Atletico Madrid will still win.
Scoring three goals against Atletico Madrid is no easy feat.
"So far this season, Atletico Madrid has conceded a maximum of 2 goals against any team, and no team has allowed them to concede more than 3 goals."
Most of their matches resulted in either a clean sheet or conceding only one goal; Atletico Madrid's defense is truly top-notch.
Manchester City seemed busy in the attacking third, but struggled to create any truly good chances.
Time was slowly ticking away as Atletico Madrid managed to drag it out, second by second.
Manchester City fans were getting impatient, and the away stands were deathly silent.
In Manchester, pubs of all sizes were packed with fans holding beers.
However, it would be startling if someone pushed the door open and entered.
So many people and yet no one made a sound!
Everyone's expressions were quite desperate.
"It's in the bag! Today's in the bag!"
Saul was very excited on the field.
He kept raising his hand to interact with the fans, while excitedly asking for the ball, wanting to perform.
"Lu, give it to me! I want him!!"
Lu Xiao glanced at Saul, ignored him, turned around and shook off Fernandinho's challenge, then steadily passed the ball to Griezmann.
Saul is with Yaya Toure next to him; if he tries to pass the message over, it will definitely be interrupted.
Even with a 4-2 lead, Lu Xiao still dared not let his guard down.
How many teams in history have been overturned after leading by 3 goals?
Some teams have even been overturned by 3 goals in the Champions League final!
"Wait, something's not right."
Lu Xiao increasingly noticed Manchester City's composure, especially De Bruyne's control of the ball.
He showed no sign of panic, handling each pass and dribble with unhurried ease, as if Manchester City were not the team behind.
"Bro, what are you planning to do?"
As the ball went out of bounds, Lu Xiao couldn't resist leaning over to trash talk and distract the ball.
"It's nothing, stop fooling around."
De Bruyne was extremely frustrated.
He knew very well that Lu Xiao's most annoying trait was that he would occasionally use mental attacks to drive his opponents crazy.
Not only can he communicate seamlessly with players from the same league, but he can also communicate with players from different countries in multiple languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
It has covered almost the entire majority of players in European football.
It's fine if Lu Xiao is my teammate, but if he's my opponent, I really want to kill him on the spot!
No wonder so many people like to shove Lu Xiao.
They were all forced into a corner.
"Want to go big? Let me tell you, don't bother struggling."
"Fuck off!! You little brat..."
De Bruyne was under immense pressure and was just about to unleash his attack when Lu Xiao suddenly rushed forward to contest the ball.
It feels like your deskmate in class always talking to you.
When it was time for me to respond, the other person fell silent, and that's exactly when the teacher noticed.
hateful!!
De Bruyne was on the verge of losing his temper and quickly took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger.
Now is not the time to be angry.
The more behind we are, the more calm we must remain!
Find that opportunity, wait until the time is right... Be patient, be patient...
Now!!
Ten minutes later, with the first half about to end, De Bruyne spotted an opportunity!
Juanfran made a forward run, Yaya Toure intercepted the ball and passed it straight to David Silva!
Silva dribbled forward suddenly, but was marked by Godin.
Meanwhile, left winger Navas made a run down the flank, drawing Jimenez's defensive cover and creating an opening in the middle!
"Chance!"
Silva, also a high-level player, immediately turned and withstood Godin's challenge, passing the ball back to De Bruyne on the right!
Before receiving the ball, De Bruyne had already observed the situation on the field, and without stopping the ball, he lobbed a curved ball to the edge of the penalty area!
"Is it possible?"
De Bruyne's heart was in his throat, but he quickly felt relieved and put the money in his pocket!
done!
Aguero appeared in the perfect position at just the right time! The timing was perfect!
His solid fundamentals and top-notch talent allowed him to gently control the ball in the penalty area, shake off the defenders without slowing down, and unleash a powerful shot that pierced the net!
"Aguero—Goal!!"
"Manchester City equalize just before halftime! 4-3 on aggregate!"
"The outcome of the match remains uncertain!"
Even He Wei couldn't help but praise the shot.
Whether it was Silva's handling, Navas's runs and support, or De Bruyne's exquisite pass,
The whole team played at a high level!
Aguero's finishing move truly showcased his world-class striker abilities!
Manchester City, in top form, is more than qualified to be Atletico Madrid's rival!
High-level matches are definitely more exciting!
"Brilliant!"
Seeing this goal, Lu Xiao couldn't help but admire it.
De Bruyne truly deserves his title as the future world's best midfielder; he seized every 0.5-second window of opportunity.
The ball was passed crisply and precisely.
"Hey, System! If you don't come out soon, things are going to go wrong!"
Lu Xiao already felt a sense of crisis.
If Manchester City continues to play like this, it's really hard to say who will win!
Atletico Madrid's two center-backs, Jimenez and Godin, had just finished their league matches three days prior.
They are physically exhausted, and they will definitely be overwhelmed by Manchester City's desperate counterattack in the second half.
When facing a Manchester City team like this, any weakness will be magnified many times over.
System, stop upgrading!
Let me use my special abilities to get through this difficult time first...
and many more!
This familiar feeling!
In the moment of crisis, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a strong urge.
Is the long upgrade finally coming to an end?
