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

"If we want to deal with this Asian, we have to fight!"

"Give him a good beating! Let him experience the cruelty of the Bundesliga! Let him understand that kids shouldn't come to the Bundesliga too early!"

When Lu Xiao's volley hit the goalpost, it was a spectacular display of skill.

The crisp sound also startled the players of Hannover 96.

How could Bayer Leverkusen dare to start in the Bundesliga at the age of 16?!

Since that's the case, then I'll have to show you how powerful the Bundesliga is!

Salif Sané, a burly black man from the French Plain White Banner, stared menacingly at Lu Xiao's retreating figure. (Hanova 96 center-back)

His mind kept replaying the coach's repeated instructions before the game.

Shove him!

Hit him!

Use your body and strength to bully him to your heart's content!

Otherwise, if an Asian child were to poop on your head, wouldn't a Bundesliga defender have any dignity left?

……

Lu Xiao suddenly noticed that the Hannover players were looking at him with hostility.

The pressure on the frontcourt is mounting!

Whenever Lu Xiao had a chance to get the ball, he would immediately be physically fouled by the opposing defenders and defensive midfielders.

The referee's whistle kept blowing.

However, the Hannover players were very cunning, making no obvious fouls, and the fouls occurred quite far from the penalty area.

They'll only get a few warnings at most, and won't be able to take the cards.

Hannover temporarily used this physical approach to stifle Leverkusen's attacking rhythm.

Freeze Lu Xiao's position.

Leverkusen's attacking threat level has been greatly reduced.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Lu Xiao was just about to control the ball at the edge of the penalty area...

The sudden surge of immense power from behind caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground!

beep—

The referee's shrill whistle blew, pointing to the location of the foul.

"Warning! No unnecessary hand movements!"

"Referee, it was purely accidental. I was just trying to get a position, who knew he was so light."

"This... watch your moves next time! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"

The referee still wanted to protect technically skilled players like Lu Xiao.

He's already at a disadvantage starting in the Bundesliga; if the officiating is any more lenient, then physically weak players might as well not play at all.

A few years ago, the Bundesliga, like the Premier League, emphasized physicality and strength.

With the rise of the Barcelona dynasty, technical football became popular throughout Europe, and Guardiola took over Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga has also begun to emphasize technical football, passing and possession, and tactics, downplaying physicality and strength for the sake of entertainment.

The enforcement standards are relatively strict compared to the English Premier League.

Lu Xiao was completely disoriented after the collision.

The black man behind him used dirty tricks; when he bumped into him, he deliberately elbowed him!

Lu Xiao, at such a young age, has to experience what kidney pain feels like ahead of time.

"Are you alright, Lu?"

Captain Rolfes quickly checked on Lu Xiao's condition. Fortunately, there was no tackle or challenge, so it should just be a minor injury.

"It's alright, that person... never mind."

Lu Xiao wanted the captain to help him report the opponent's dirty tricks to the referee.

Thinking about it, it seems pointless.

The referee's decision has already taken effect, and it's impossible to issue additional cards for such underhanded tactics.

Often, when players encounter dirty plays, they can only suffer in silence.

A hot-tempered young player might directly confront the opponent or even retaliate with a foul.

He's very spirited, but it doesn't help the game at all.

Lu Xiao only hopes that he can win this crucial match and secure 3 points to solidify his position within the team.

There is no better way to retaliate than with a goal and a victory.

Originally, the rage value was only 26%.

I was just assaulted repeatedly, and my anger level has skyrocketed!

Lu Xiao smiled instead, clenched his fist and went into the penalty area to prepare for the upcoming free kick attack.

For now, Son Heung-min is the only free-kick taker on the team.

At this moment, the rather inexperienced Korean guy put the ball on the ground, stepped back a distance, and frowned.

Only about 22 meters away, too close to the goal.

It flew in an arc over the wall of people, with no time to fall.

If they attack in the other direction, it will be difficult to get past the goalkeeper.

To ensure offensive efficiency, Son Heung-min had no choice but to try passing to his teammates, glancing around the room.

He spotted Lu Xiao in the penalty area; he was well-positioned with only one center-back defending him.

Let's just kick him.

beep—

"Son Heung-min, the young South Korean international, takes the free kick... run-up, shot—"

"Huh? No shot, just a quick pass into the penalty area!"

"Lu Xiao!"

Lu Xiao was jostling for position with Salif Sané, the French defender who had just ambushed him.

Generally, a free kick is either lobbed into the penalty area or taken by the player themselves.

The balls will all land near the penalty area.

Lu Xiao was positioned closer to the edge of the penalty area, and Salif Sané was desperately trying to keep his distance to prevent Lu Xiao from getting in.

Seeing that Son Heung-min unexpectedly chose to pass the ball,

Salif Sane then attempted to ram Lu Xiao with his shoulder.

They are hesitant to commit obvious fouls in the penalty area, as such minor actions are almost never penalized.

"Get out of here! Huh?"

Salif Sané felt like he was hitting cotton, as his opponent had retreated early to receive the ball, thus dissipating most of the force!

Lu Xiao was instead pushed forward two steps.

Rage level: 95%

The moment he received the ball, Lu Xiao flicked it up with his toes, using the footwork he usually practiced for juggling, relaxing his ankle as he juggled the ball while backing away.

Eh?

"This... Lu Xiao, actively seeking out confrontations with the defenders!"

With too many players in the penalty area, Lu Xiao didn't choose to create space and rush into a shot.

He did not send a message back to his teammates, thus delaying the battle.

Without a reasonable passing route, Lu Xiao really didn't have any good options.

But what's going on here?

Zhan Jun watched as Lu Xiao's movements resembled a post-up move in basketball!

Does he actually want to engage in a physical battle with his opponent?

"Well done!"

Salif Sané's face lit up with joy, his black face revealing his white teeth, and he tugged at Lu Xiao's jersey, intending to force him out of the penalty area.

But just as he bumped into the other person,

The Asian man, however, deftly used his strength to complete the turn! Like a slippery ball, he swerved past him!

"Oops!"

Even if Salif Sane was incredibly stupid, he would realize he'd been tricked.

Looking down, I realized the ball at my feet had vanished!

It's clearer from an outsider's perspective.

Zhan Jun watched as Lu Xiao juggled the ball twice in a row, then unexpectedly flicked it through Lu Xiao's legs with his heel, using the opponent's momentum to complete the turn!

A skillful dribble past the defender on the edge of the penalty area!

"This is possible?! He managed to break through!"

Rage level: 100%

Lu Xiao, who had just turned around, didn't even look up to check the goal.

He decisively curled a shot!

Unlock the maximum potential of the S-level template in a short time, maximizing shooting skills!

Lu Xiao's curling shot perfectly bypassed the defender in front of him, grazing the corner where the post and crossbar meet, and pierced the goal!

Hanover goalkeeper Zieler made no move.

He turned his head blankly to look at the perfect curveball!

"The thief's ball is here!!! Lu Xiao!!!"

"30 minutes into the first half! The young Chinese player opens the scoring!!"

"This amazing young man has scored in five consecutive games! He's unstoppable!"

"Bayer Leverkusen takes a 1-0 lead!"
