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

Bayern Munich training ground.

"hurry up!"

"Send it over!!"

"Here, here!!"

beep—

The piercing whistle blew, and the Bayern Munich players couldn't help but shudder.

The thought of being berated by the bald Guardiola...

The expressions on the faces of these world-class stars on the training field were just like those of elementary school students about to be called on in class.

His whole body was tense, and his face was filled with panic.

In front of the media, Guardiola is a refined and technically skilled manager.

In the locker room, this guy is a real monster!

He's a tyrant!

Sure enough, Guardiola stormed into the training field in a huff and went straight to the tall striker Mandzukic.

"Mario!! What were you doing just now?"

"I didn't do anything," Mandzukic said, bewildered.

"Look me in the eyes and answer me, what were you doing just now?"

Guardiola wouldn't let it go, his nose practically touching Mandzukic's face.

"I...I just felt the opportunity was good and wanted to give it a shot."

"Is that so? Is it just your feeling?"

Guardiola chuckled twice and turned to look at the other players.

Anyone who makes eye contact with Guardiola can't help but look down and avoid his gaze.

"Did you guys think that shooting opportunity was good?"

"..."

"say!"

"No, not really."

It was Captain Ram who took the initiative to step forward.

Just now, Mandzukic, under pressure from defender Van Buyten, forced a shot with his left foot. The shot was alright, just a little off target.

"If we are behind in the Champions League final, we only need one goal to equalize in the last minute."

Did your choice this time result in missing a goal?

No!! What we missed was the championship!! Do you understand?!

champion!!"

Mandzukic was a little embarrassed after being repeatedly given a "hairdressing" treatment by Guardiola.

He's a fairly well-known player, and even the veteran coach Heynckes never yelled at him like that.

"There's nothing wrong with giving it a try."

Mandzukic muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Guardiola's eyes became even more terrifying.

They greeted him directly in Spanish.

"Trying to shoot is better than wasting time passing the ball around outside..."

Mandzukic went all out.

The striker found a shooting angle in the penalty area, so why not shoot?

"Okay, okay, so that's your understanding of football, right?"

Guardiola's gaze sharpened as he pointed to Thomas Müller on his right.

"Did you notice your teammates when you shot?! Did you observe them before shooting?!"

"Well……"

Mandzukic just shot on impulse; he genuinely didn't realize it.

Looking back, Thomas Müller was in a better position and could have easily passed the ball to him.

"But……"

"Still trying to argue?"

Guardiola turned and scanned the entire Bayern Munich squad.

"Remember! Always observe before making a decision! Observe in advance! Observe in advance, damn it!"

"Pay attention to your teammates' positions! Passing the ball is always faster than the player! Teammates in better positions can do so much more!"

"We're a team! A championship team! Not some random guys on a pickup basketball court!!"

Guardiola shouted at him in his Catalan-accented English.

The word "fucking" appeared more than once in just a few sentences, indicating a very high level of toxicity.

"Let's do it again!! Continue practicing for another 45 minutes!"

"what?"

The Bayern Munich players were stunned.

The next opponent isn't Dortmund, nor is it Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, or Chelsea...

The next opponent is just Bayer Leverkusen.

An opponent you could beat with your eyes closed.

In recent years, beating Bayer Leverkusen twice has become commonplace for them; Bayern players are used to it.

Guardiola is perhaps being overly cautious.

But only Guardiola knew that Leverkusen was not an easy opponent.

After watching the recent matches, Guardiola had a bad feeling.

It's not that Guardiola is afraid of that 16-year-old Chinese prodigy; world-renowned coach Pep Guardiola has no reason to be afraid.

He was just worried that if the team underestimated their opponents, or if their lead wasn't big enough, they might actually be overturned.

This season, Guardiola joined the team with the aura of a "six-time champion".

Bayern Munich has already won the treble, which is a great success.

I must become more successful!

I must lead them to defend their triple crown and then lead them to win their sixth crown again.

With multiple competitions to fight, Bayern Munich cannot devote too much energy to the league and needs to focus on defending their Champions League title.

In the league, you need to have a large enough lead.

In the next round, Leverkusen's only goal is to get 3 points!

Bayern Munich cannot afford any other result, with three points at home!

The players on the field haven't yet grasped his passing and control philosophy, and none of them understand the pressure he's under.

Guardiola felt that the task ahead was arduous and far-reaching.

When he left Barcelona for Bayern Munich, wasn't it to prove that he could build a dynasty even without the Barcelona system?

Can they really do it with this group of Bayern players?

Guardiola didn't know the answer.

……

"Munich! Munich! Munich!"

On the bus to Munich, the Leverkusen players were quite excited.

Every professional player enjoys playing against strong teams.

Even if we get thrashed, even if Bayern Munich defeats us by a large margin, it doesn't matter.

As long as you can deliver a standout performance in the game, your market value will increase accordingly.

What if I accidentally lead my team to victory against Bayern?

Next season, they can let their agents offer the club a big contract.

Don't worry about the club not asking for a price.

Daring to be stingy? I'm leaving!

A star player who leads his team to victory against Bayern Munich will never have trouble finding a team.

He might just be poached by Bayern Munich, just like Mario Götze, and then Lewandowski.

Lu Xiao, who always enjoys joking around with everyone,

It was much quieter today.

He simply watched the bus travel along the road it had come from.

I arrived in Leverkusen in the same Volkswagen that the scouts had driven, along the same highway.

I didn't expect to go back so soon... as an opponent!

[After the match, are you staying for the day?]

I'll ask the coach later; if we win, we get a vacation; if we lose, we have to go back to training.

Okay, no problem, we can come see you when we have time.

On WeChat, Lu Yongping, the father, was very happy to learn that his son had returned to Munich.

Their Chinese restaurant in downtown Munich is thriving, and they're so busy every day that they simply don't have time to go to Leverkusen to see their children.

They only broadcast it on television when Leverkusen plays.

This puzzled the local diners in Munich.

Why watch Leverkusen matches every day?

This time, it was difficult for the two to go to the stadium to cheer for Lu Xiao, so they could only watch Lu Xiao's game in the restaurant.

[Keep it up, you can definitely win!]

Let's hope so...

Lu Xiao wasn't actually sure either.

He was confident that he could create some opportunities using the system once he came on.

However, it is difficult for one person's strength to change a large gap in strength.

If the team's midfield and defense are at a disadvantage overall, and you can't receive the ball in front, you still won't have a chance to shoot.

We'll have to see how things go on the field.

The good news is that the team has already finalized its starting lineup before departure!

Lu Xiao in such an important match,

Another starting appearance!
