Rewind 30 minutes.

The moment Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg blew his whistle,

The atmosphere at the Meazza reached its peak.

At the same time, Ronaldo flicked the ball at his feet, and Benzema turned and passed it back to Modric.

"CCTV! CCTV!"

"Dear viewers, you are watching the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League Final!"

We witnessed another Madrid derby in the history of the Champions League final at the San Siro Stadium in Milan!

The team wearing red and white striped shirts is Atlético Madrid, led by Lu Xiao!

Wearing the blue away kit is Real Madrid, the nine-time Champions League champions!

"Hey!! Look at this ball first, it's Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"

Before He Wei could even begin his remarks, Cristiano Ronaldo's powerful shot ignited the tension in this Champions League final.

Oblak hurriedly leaped into the air, barely managing to deflect the long-range shot out of bounds.

Just 13 seconds into the game, Real Madrid launched an attack and won the first corner kick of the match.

hiss--

He Wei and Xu Yang exchanged a glance. Real Madrid is no pushover today!

Isn't that a bit too sharp?

Zhan Jun was also a little nervous.

"Thomas Partey was a fraction too slow in his block, allowing Ronaldo to unleash a powerful long-range shot!"

Facing world-class players like Modric, Toni Kroos, and Cristiano Ronaldo,

Thomas Partey is clearly not enough!

"As expected, the absence of players like Koke and Gabi has had a significant impact on Atletico Madrid's defense."

"That's right, Kirk and Gabby are experienced and have great chemistry with the team."

With such short-term personnel changes, Atletico Madrid's defense will struggle to function effectively in a timely manner.

Coach Zhang saw it more clearly.

Modric's clever diagonal pass just now hit the gap in the formation perfectly.

The problem lies with Atletico Madrid's lack of teamwork.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in top form today, and his first shot on goal was enough to demonstrate his desire for the championship.

Having been suppressed by Lu Xiao for so long

Given Ronaldo's personality, could he tolerate this?

I can't stand even a little bit!

Toni Kroos takes the corner kick, and Cristiano Ronaldo is already lurking at the penalty spot.

He suddenly sprinted diagonally, then abruptly changed direction, instantly shaking off defender Stefan.

Then it pulled up sharply!

He slammed the ball into the goal with a header, like a dunk!

"Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"

At that moment, Atletico Madrid fans' hearts nearly skipped a beat.

Lu Xiao himself gasped in shock.

clang--

The football hit the crossbar and bounced out of bounds.

Before Atletico Madrid fans could even relax, the referee blew his whistle, and it was time for the second corner kick!

Goalkeeper Oblak touched the ball with his fingertips! It was a brilliant save!

"Seriously? The match is this exciting in less than a minute?"

Within the first minute, the opponent had two corner kicks, and the team's goal was under great threat twice.

Lu Xiao was completely numb.

It's like someone you've been bullying for a whole season suddenly retaliating; if you're not careful, you can easily get punched.

boom!

The corner kick is taken, this time it's Pepe the Monk!

Pepe's header!!! Just wide—

"Real Madrid had three very close calls with their first three shots on goal!"

Atletico Madrid supporters finally breathed a sigh of relief when goalkeeper Oblak began to place the ball in preparation for a goal kick.

Otherwise, Real Madrid's blistering opening attack could easily suffocate anyone.

That's terrifying!

"Is this Real Madrid?"

"That's pretty strong!"

"It feels like Real Madrid in the Champions League is a completely different team from the team in La Liga."

"They seem to really have the Champions League gene."

I almost peed myself.

Many Atletico Madrid fans touched their backs and found they were already sweating profusely.

It was thought that Atletico Madrid could launch a counterattack, which would make Real Madrid a little nervous.

As a result, Real Madrid continued their siege!

"Cristiano Ronaldo!!! A great attempt."

"This time it's Bale, a raw kill on the right wing!! He's past, so fast!!"

"Cut back, cross with your left foot!"

"Benzema!!!"

Within the first 10 minutes, Real Madrid had already taken 7 shots!

Three shots hit the target area!

Oblak made three saves at the start of the game, but he wasn't happy at all.

"What the hell?! Keep them at bay!!!"

But Oblak regretted it as soon as he shouted it out. The man in front of him wasn't the reliable captain Godin, nor the ironclad midfield defense of Gabe and Kirk.

They were all a bunch of 20-year-old lads.

Let's not get any more nervous, shall we?

In the commentary booth, Coach Zhang Lu looked quite helpless.

"It's clear that Atletico Madrid's lack of strength in the midfield and defense is affecting their attack."

"They have a hard time effectively intercepting Real Madrid's passes, and they can't get the ball out of the box. They can only rely on long balls to find Lu Xiao and Griezmann."

Clearly, Real Madrid was prepared for this.

Carvajal and Ramos stared at Griezmann.

Pepe and Casemiro limited Lu Xiao.

They are all world-class defensive players who frequently engage in physical confrontations.

Lu Xiao and Griezmann were struggling to gain possession of the ball due to the tall and strong defenders.

In addition, the referee was a Premier League referee.

Having grown accustomed to rough defense,

Real Madrid's level of collisions was relatively civilized and did not constitute a foul.

Therefore, Real Madrid used their bodies even more recklessly.

In high-level competitions, even the slightest difference will be magnified infinitely.

Therefore, Real Madrid has exploited Lu Xiao's weakness in physical confrontation.

"If Lu Xiao's strength hadn't increased significantly in the past six months, it would have been difficult for him to stand out in such a high-level competition compared to the Lu Xiao of the previous two seasons."

Real Madrid's defense wasn't this resolute before, and their squad wasn't at full strength.

Today, Lu Xiao truly witnessed the level of intensity worthy of a Champions League champion!

Moreover, it was a three-peat in the Champions League in the original timeline!

The true Demon King!

Lu Xiao was well-prepared for this, having already prepared today's template before the start of the event.

【Jie Shi Yi】's spatial perception ability is still the most valuable skill, and it can play an even more important role in the high-level and ever-changing arena.

Comparatively speaking, [Bee Joy Return]'s dribbling ability is more of an added bonus.

In the secondary equipment slot, Lu Xiao spent a long time choosing before finally selecting the optimal solution.

【Ma Lang Zhaoying】An unfamiliar character.

I haven't read the manga or watched the anime, so I don't know who this person is.

But that doesn't prevent Lu Xiao from understanding his abilities.

After testing him in matches and training, Lu Xiao roughly determined that he was a typical "center forward"!

They are strong and powerful, with the ability to get into position and hold the ball, making them suitable for heading, positioning themselves, protecting the ball with their feet, and shooting ability.

Combined with the muscle memory fused with [Cannavaro],

Lu Xiao can at least hold his own against world-class opponents like Pepe and Casemiro.

You must win at least one or two rounds out of ten; otherwise, you have no chance of winning at all.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiao's worst fears came true.

Before the attacking third finds an opportunity,

The fire started in the backfield.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Real Madrid launched a seemingly chaotic attack, with Modric making a diagonal pass into the penalty area.

Benzema headed the ball across to the edge of the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo receives the ball and unleashes a powerful shot!

"Goal! Ronaldo's long-range shot finds the net!!!"

"Real Madrid scored first in the 22nd minute of the first half!"

"1 to 0!"

Zhan Jun was stunned, but still used his most passionate voice to commentate on this wonderful goal.

Undeniably, Benzema's choice was excellent, and Ronaldo's shot was perfect.

A powerful long-range shot blasted straight into the blind spot.

Oblak has done his best.

After scoring, Ronaldo was finally able to hold his head high in front of Lu Xiao.

He leaped high from the sidelines—

"Siu~~~~~~"

Real Madrid fans are truly celebrating like it's Chinese New Year right now.

No one expected that they were celebrating a little too soon...

Because there's even more exciting stuff to come!

In the first half, less than 10 minutes of the 30-minute match...

Cristiano Ronaldo almost lost the ball while doing a stepover on the left, but quickly recovered and passed it to Modric on the right.

Everyone was watching Ronaldo make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, Modric's ability to detect enemy aircraft was top-notch!

"Modric!!! A through ball down the right flank!!"

"Great shot!!" Coach Zhang exclaimed in amazement!

The football was like a precisely calculated conclusion; the surgical pass transformed into a sharp blade, tearing apart Atletico Madrid's defense!

The young defense, barely in their early twenties, still paid the price for their lack of experience!

Gareth Bale, the Welsh superstar who came from Tottenham Hotspur, used his absolute speed to outpace his opponents.

Shoot directly at the goal with your left foot!

A beautiful arc bypassed the goalkeeper's fingers!

"Goooooooal!!! Gareth Bell—"

Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor is excited!

The Welsh star has scored!

He's British too!

Rounding up, English football has won!

2-0!

"Another goal! Two goals conceded in 10 minutes!!"

Real Madrid leads 2-0!

Before Zhan Jun could even manage a wry smile,

The live replay of the goal has just ended, and Real Madrid has already intercepted the ball again in the attacking third!

"Benzema!!"

Because Real Madrid's high press was very tight, Atletico Madrid couldn't get up and were forced to pass the ball back.

The ball was passed back to the goalkeeper, and Benzema suddenly pressed forward!

This led to goalkeeper Oblak making a hasty short pass.

Defender Stefan was about to receive the ball when suddenly a figure rushed up!

"Modric!!!"

Modric made a quick move to intercept, successfully winning the ball 30 meters from the penalty area!

He calmly dribbled into the penalty area, maintained possession despite being surrounded by four players, and passed the ball to the right side at the last moment!

It's chaos, utter chaos!

Cristiano Ronaldo was completely unmarked!

Are you kidding me?

The most dangerous person in Real Madrid is nobody by his side.

Cristiano Ronaldo made it look like he was practicing shooting on the training ground, easily pushing the ball into the net!

"3-0!!!"

"Two goals conceded in two minutes!!"

"Atletico Madrid are down by 3 goals after only 30 minutes of the first half!!"

For Zhan Jun and countless fans, there are only two words in their hearts.

Sent...

?

The director's close-up shot was focused on Lu Xiao on the field. The young Asian boy wearing the captain's armband looked very immature, like a male college freshman or a boy band idol.

But his resolute eyes still held a glimmer of hope.

He Wei couldn't help but sigh:

"If Atletico Madrid can pull themselves back from the brink and fight their way out of this desperate situation..."

"He must be the one leading the charge!"

Will Lu Xiao be able to continue his amazing feats this time?

Even Lu Xiao's most supportive fans can't say for sure.
