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

Lu Xiao never expected this.

I've already won the Champions League, is it really that hard to play in the European Championship?

Look at Belgium's squad; they're definitely among the top teams in Europe.

The substitutes also include Nainggolan, Carrasco, Mertens, and CTMD Benteke.

So many elite soldiers and generals

They couldn't even beat Sweden, led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic?

To be fair, Sweden is really impressive.

Their defense is solid enough, and their offense relies on Ibrahimovic.

First half,

Lu Xiao was tackled in front of the penalty area, and his free kick, a beautiful curling shot, helped Belgium open the scoring.

Leading Sweden 1-0.

Logically speaking, Belgium should have secured their place, and Lu Xiao's first goal in the European Championship was perfectly legitimate.

Belgium isn't in a rush; they can take their time and they're sure to win this match.

Unfortunately, the Belgian team's teamwork was always awkward.

Hazard, Lu Xiao, and De Bruyne all need a certain amount of possession of the ball.

This resulted in a lack of attacking prowess in the frontcourt.

In contrast, Ibrahimovic started to shine in the second half.

In the 56th minute, a powerful shot from outside the penalty area...

1-1!

Dafengxian forcefully equalized the score!

Just five minutes later, in the 61st minute of the match, it was Ibrahimovic again.

Taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, he volleyed a scorpion kick into the box!

1-2!

A second time!

After scoring, Ibrahimovic even went to Lu Xiao to show off.

"Lu, how was that shot?"

"Get out of here."

Lu Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

If it were anyone else, Ibrahimovic would definitely get angry.

But facing Lu Xiao

Ibrahimovic, who looked down on everyone, was deeply impressed, but just chuckled and ran away.

Sweden held on until the 88th minute, maintaining a score of 1-2.

This also frustrated CCTV5 commentator Liu Jiayuan.

"Time is running out for the Belgian team. The Red Devils, who were highly anticipated by everyone, unexpectedly suffered a setback in their first match of the European Championship."

Lu Xiao, Hazard, and De Bruyne, a world-class attacking trio, failed to unleash their full potential.

After Lukaku was substituted, Benteke also wasted several passes from Lukaku and De Bruyne.

The guest next to him, Xu Yang, was quite outspoken:

"Lu Xiao might as well stop passing to others and just run into position and shoot himself."

They even managed to score 5 goals in the Champions League final to complete a stunning comeback.

This 1-2 scoreline is hardly a big deal.

With stoppage time approaching,

Swedish fans at the stadium had already started celebrating.

Ibrahimovic, however, had a serious expression.

"Don't let your guard down!! Keep a close eye on him!!"

Ibrahimovic was thrilled by the man's terror; even if he underestimated heroes from all over the world, he would never dare to underestimate this Asian man!

Belgium coach Wilmots simply instructed Lu Xiao to move forward.

"Lu!! Push it up! Push it up!!"

During the 3 minutes of stoppage time

Belgium changed their formation to 4-4-2.

Lu Xiao and Benteke formed a two-striker partnership.

Benteke is responsible for winning aerial duels in the attacking third, forming a bridgehead.

The goal is in Lu Xiao's hands!

This is the only option left.

Unexpectedly, this opened up a way for the Belgian team to attack.

"Belgium stopped focusing on ground penetration in the final moments of stoppage time and started frequently lobbing the ball into the penalty area."

"Hazard...didn't attempt a breakthrough, leaving the ball to De Bruyne on the right."

"De Bruyne moved to the wing...and suddenly crossed the ball!!!"

A very strange, curved shot, catching the defender off guard and heading straight for the far post.

The Swedish defense was initially focused on Lu Xiao's position.

It was discovered that Lu Xiao was only at the edge of the penalty area.

So no one was alert, and defender Olsson was still leisurely watching the ball contest for the header.

Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared!

Like Hinata, the protagonist of "Haikyuu!!", he appears in front of you with terrifying jumping power!

"Lu Xiao!!!"

and many more?

Lu Xiao wants a header?

It wasn't just the Swedish defenders who were bewildered.

Even Belgium's head coach Wilmots and all the fans were stunned.

When did Lu Xiao head the ball past the goalkeeper?

No one was prepared for this.

"I was originally planning to keep this as a trump card, but sorry, I'm laying my cards on the table."

"I can head the ball!"

Combining [Jie Shi Yi]'s "spatial perception",

[Ma Lang Zhaoying] Positioning of the all-around striker

And Cannavaro's heading ability,

Lu Xiao's powerful lion-like headbutt sent a penetrating straight shot through the air!

They blasted open the Swedish gates on the spot!

"Goal!!"

"Gooooooooal!!!"

Commentators from various countries couldn't help but cheer!

The fans erupted in cheers!

"Lu Xiao—"

"Holy crap, Lu Shen!"

"He can even head the ball!"

"They didn't even force him to head the ball in the Champions League final!"

"Wow, Lu Shen is amazing!!"

For the first time, people discovered how powerful and imposing Lu Xiao's headers were!

"Lu Xiao! Scores a second goal!"

"When Belgium was in crisis, Lu Xiao's powerful header secured a dramatic equalizer!!"

Liu Jiayuan was also very excited.

He had no interest in Belgium's results.

But like most fans,

I hope to see Lu Xiao go even further.

As the only Chinese player in the European Championship

Belgium is undoubtedly the "home team" for many fans.

……

"pity."

The match ended with the score tied at 2-2.

Belgium only managed 1 point in their first European Championship match and are currently tied for 2nd and 3rd place in their group with Sweden.

Italy is the top team in the group.

They defeated Ireland 2-0 in their first match.

This means that Belgium would have to beat Italy in their next match to have any hope of advancing from the group stage.

Otherwise, if they draw or lose to Italy,

If Sweden defeats the weakest team, Ireland,

Italy and Sweden will advance from the group stage.

The star-studded Belgian team is about to be eliminated in the group stage.

"That's too tragic."

Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I thought I was going on vacation to participate in the European Cup.

With two star players like Hazard and De Bruyne in the team, I can just relax and play casually.

Unexpectedly, Belgium is not at its strongest point right now.

After several personnel changes, there was little understanding or rapport among the members.

Their level of teamwork is incomparable to that of Atlético Madrid.

If my teammate were replaced by Atletico Madrid...

Lu Xiao is confident of completing a 3-2 comeback.

Unfortunately, in the end, they could only make peace with Ibrahimovic.

"Beautiful play, especially the final header."

Although Ibuki's personality is criticized and many people dislike him.

Lu Xiao, however, felt that he was quite genuine.

After the game, he came over with a smile to shake hands and exchange jerseys.

"Exchange jerseys?"

"Yes, I, Zlatan, acknowledge you. You're really amazing."

Lu Xiao looked annoyed, but still exchanged jerseys with Ibrahimovic.

Another match-worn jersey will be added to the jersey collection cabinet in his mansion.

So far,

He has already collected jerseys from many world-class stars, including Ronaldinho, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Robben, Ribery, and Modric.

The value of just the contents of her wardrobe alone is a considerable sum.

But none of that matters.

A 2-2 draw against Sweden.

The next match has become a true life-or-death battle!

Belgium vs. Italy!

The highlight of Group H in the European Championship!
