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

Wanda Metropolitan Stadium.

Messi's last visit here was not a pleasant experience.

My experience of meeting Lu Xiao last time was not pleasant either.

These are all nightmares for Messi.

What pained him most was...

Before the match, Lu Xiao came up to greet everyone.

Hey, Leo.

"Hey."

The two were rivals, but not truly mortal enemies with deep-seated hatred.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man,

Lu Xiao greeted him warmly, and Messi, feeling embarrassed, could only awkwardly give Lu Xiao a high-five.

"How are the preparations going?"

"It's alright."

Lu Xiao actually greeted him like an ordinary friend?

WTF? !

Are you here to laugh at me?

Messi couldn't help but glance at the Asian man.

However, Lu Xiao's eyes showed no signs of mockery, sarcasm, or contempt.

This guy's eyes are as clear as ever.

Indeed, i-people are quite fun.

Even someone as strong as Messi, the Ballon d'Or winner, six-time Champions League winner, and former world number one,

He still appeared very unnatural when facing himself.

Messi is now growing a beard, showing signs of age and maturity.

However, there is a certain gap between this "kingly aura" and the one I remember from the 2022 World Cup.

Standing next to him, I felt no pressure at all.

Of course, this takes into account the news surrounding Messi's later trip to Hong Kong.

Regardless of whether it's a problem between Messi's agency and the domestic organizers, judging solely by Messi's performance...

Lu Xiao didn't need to be overly enthusiastic in pursuing her.

I just gave a simple greeting.

Lu Xiao turned and left as if he were a stranger.

Messi felt a sense of relief at first, but then he still felt something was off.

As a Golden Globe winner and the world's number one, how could he have no weight in the eyes of this Asian?

Lu Xiao himself didn't expect it.

An unintentional act has already shaken the resolve of this world-class superstar.

Losing so many games won't break us, but we might not be that far from breaking down either.

……

"Less than a week ago, the two sides just decided a match in La Liga."

"Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-0 at Camp Nou, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga and taking the initiative in the title race."

"Barcelona's La Liga title is now further away, and they'll face a tough league opponent in the Champions League semi-finals..."

CCTV5 commentator He Wei has arrived in Madrid today.

Sitting in the media section of the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, I was joined by Coach Gong Lei to commentate on this important Champions League semi-final!

He Wei was extremely excited.

He has visited Spain many times and has given live commentary on many occasions.

But this was the first time He Wei had ever been so close to Lu Xiao!

It's rare to have a player of Chinese descent standing at the top of the world.

As Chinese people, as descendants of Yan and Huang,

How could I not be excited?

He Wei was joking with Coach Gong just now, and he was still saying:

"It's hard to imagine what our football would be like without Lu Xiao, without a Chinese player stepping up..."

The Chinese national football team experienced its darkest moment: a humiliating 1-5 defeat to Thailand.

With Evergrande winning the Asian Cup twice and enjoying immense success, Chinese football seems to be showing signs of resurgence...

but!

Those familiar with the football world know that this is just the final frenzy.

It's rumored that the Chinese national football team is going to sign Marcello Lippi, a world-renowned coach, but no one expects him to be able to save the team.

Therefore, everyone can only find a sense of accomplishment from Lu Xiao.

If you don't even have this much sense of accomplishment,

This is truly hopeless.

Coach Gong Lei seems to have a more relaxed attitude towards it.

"It will probably be difficult to get started in the next few years, or even the next 10 years."

But I believe that Lu Xiao's example is very powerful, and some children will start to like him now and try to get involved in football.

More and more people will dedicate themselves to football.

Perhaps one day in the future, when the environment is clear, we will truly be able to await the dawn.

He Wei covered his face and shook his head.

"I'm not that confident."

After chatting idly for a while, He Wei heard a reminder from the director through his in-ear monitor.

The game is about to end, and the live stream signal needs to be switched to the live location.

The two instantly switched back to work mode and began commentating on the Champions League semi-final!

"Kick Barcelona, ​​kick Barcelona, ​​kick Bayern Munich—"

"My factory has collapsed—"

Countless fans across the country listened to the familiar melody and, amidst their tense and excited feelings, saw Lu Xiao's face on television.

Lu Xiao, Messi

Two world-class players led their respective teams onto the field.

Two teams that are very familiar with each other are about to engage in a fierce battle that will determine their fate.

Pre-match handshakes, group photos, coin toss, team pep talks, introduction of the starting lineup...

These routine procedures were completed quickly.

The starting lineup was exactly the same as the previous match, with no surprises.

Fortunately, neither side had any suspensions or injuries.

Everyone can use their strongest starting lineup to face off.

Even if a team loses the game, the losing side has no excuses.

Messi leads MSN and a top-class midfield.

Facing a top-tier European attacking line comprised of Lu Xiao, Torres, and Griezmann, a mix of veterans and newcomers.

beep—

As the whistle blew, tensions rose between the two sides, and a fight was about to break out at any moment!

……

"Lu Xiao, oh? He was very active today! Beautiful!! He had a series of one-two passes with Koke in midfield!"

"Long pass to the right wing!!!"

"Saul!!! Inverted triangle!"

"Torres—"

"Ter Stegen makes the save!"

"Barcelona launches a quick counter-attack, Busquets passes to Rakitic, Rakitic lobs the ball to Messi!"

"Messi retreated... beautiful!! A deft backheel flick—"

"Suarez!! Shot!!"

"Oblak—"

When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with intense hatred!

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona started the game at a fast pace from the very first minute.

Barcelona, ​​who were originally unmatched in ball control, became completely enraged and stopped playing at a slow pace from the start of the game.

Instead, they joined forces with Atletico Madrid to launch a fast-paced counter-attacking attack.

The match was almost identical to that in the Premier League, with possession being lost back and forth and attacks coming back and forth.

Even with a score of 0-0, neutral fans found it incredibly exciting!

Not to mention the fans of both sides!

Everyone's heart rate skyrocketed!

"Lu Xiao!!! Beautiful!!! Great catch and turn!"

Lu Xiao's off-the-ball movement has improved so quickly!

The team's flexible forward runs rendered Barcelona's previously solid defense ineffective!

If Lu Xiao is restricted, he will create threats by protecting and controlling the ball;

By limiting his teammates, Lu Xiao can also use his positioning to create opportunities!

Barcelona were at a loss for how to defend!

Is it a person?

How exactly do we prevent it?

"With 25 minutes into the first half, both sides created several chances."

"Barcelona's attacking trident, the MSN combination is very active, and Suarez almost scored again just now..."

"Now it's Atletico Madrid's turn to counter-attack!! It's Lu Xiao again!! Great goal!"

"Koke lobs the ball over Lu Xiao, who controls it and then dribbles past him!!"

A masterful instep pass, utilizing muscle memory to generate power – [Nagi Seishiro]

Lu Xiao skillfully dribbled past Rakitic with a combination of attacks and slashes.

Suddenly, Bang Bang launched a long pass!

"Torres!!! A powerful volley!!"

"Goal! Atletico Madrid breaks the deadlock in the 26th minute of the first half!"

"Lu Xiao's free kick, a precise long pass from the right flank caught Barcelona off guard! Assist to Torres!"

"1 to 0!"

The scene was electric.

He Wei, sitting in the media section, felt the table and chairs trembling!

With such a grand scale, that's the charm of Lu Xiao!

This is the king of Wanda Metropolitano Stadium!

Watching Lu Xiao and Torres on the field, the former "El Niño" and the current "King" celebrating together,

Atletico Madrid fans were almost in tears.

This is the legacy of Atlético Madrid!

He Wei launched into a long, emotional commentary on the brilliant goal that had just occurred, watching the replay on the screen.

To explain exactly how amazing Lu Xiao's long pass was, we need to break it down and explain it to the fans in detail.

While I was chatting with Coach Gong Lei, an even louder cheer suddenly erupted around us!

He Wei then looked up at the arena!

"What? Another goal is coming!"

Barcelona, ​​who had conceded a goal, kicked off first, but how did it turn into Atletico Madrid's attack?

They have advanced to the edge of the penalty area.

On the left, Griezmann suddenly dribbled past him on a bicycle.

The inverted triangle pass creates space in the penalty area.

Lu Xiao suddenly thrust in like a ghost!

Flying through the air like the Bundesliga logo, a double-kick in mid-air launches the ball into the net!

Two goals in one minute!!

Holy crap!!

He Wei couldn't help but swear!

What happened?

This is the Champions League semi-final, and Barcelona has given it their all!

Atletico Madrid launched a devastating attack, seemingly effortlessly cutting through the defenses!

2-0!

After 27 minutes in the first half, Barcelona were two goals ahead!

Lu Xiao contributed one assist and one goal.

Jump into the air, raise your arms, and shout!

this moment,

He was the only one shining in the entire stadium!
