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

Saint-Denis, north of Paris.

Stade de France, home stadium of the French national team.

At least half of the people present were French.

Today, 2 of the top European stadiums, which can hold more than 81000 people, were allocated to Belgian fans, 2 to Portuguese fans, and nearly 4 to neutral fans.

Logically, after the French team's crushing defeat in the semi-finals, the French people are usually heartbroken and won't watch the game anymore.

The France vs. Belgium semi-final was just too exciting.

The incredible comeback from 4-3, a back-and-forth battle of extreme offense, thrilled the whole world!

For the first time, the French, who have always considered themselves the leaders of Europe, have shown respect for the Belgian team.

Specifically, I admire that prodigy who scored 11 goals in 6 games.

19-year-old Chinese prodigy Lu Xiao!

As a result, the French had a unique advantage in securing tickets, with many local fans sitting in the stands to support Lu Xiao.

"Now that you've eliminated France, then please win the championship, Chinese!"

These are the original words of French national team defensive midfielder Matuidi, which received over 10 likes and retweets on Twitter.

This also represents the sentiments of many fans.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has many passionate fans and sports enthusiasts around the world.

The online feud between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lu Xiao's fans had already escalated before the final.

Today I finally have a chance to settle things with them!

"Are you nervous, Lao He?"

"That's true to some extent."

"You're a commentator for a major tournament, and you weren't nervous during the World Cup finals, so what are you nervous about now?"

"Lu Xiao is here today."

In the media section of the Stade de France,

He Wei and his longtime partner Xu Yang exchanged a smile.

The two were the official commentators for the CCTV5 finals.

Since Duan Xuan "retired," He Wei has long been the top football commentator on CCTV.

Meanwhile, LeSports also launched a massive promotional campaign on online platforms.

Before the match even started, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu had already been chatting in the live broadcast room for half an hour, with the number of viewers once exceeding 5000 million and continuing to rise.

"Good heavens! So many people!"

"There's no way around it, it's just the charm of Lu Shen!"

Zhan Jun was also a little nervous.

But mostly I'm excited!

Who would have thought that a Chinese person could stand on the stage of the European Cup final and shine on the world stage!

Two years later, if possible,

Will he also be standing on the World Cup stage?

When the Chinese national football team fails to help 14 billion Chinese people make up for years of disappointment in the World Cup,

Perhaps the only light in the darkness

It's the young people on the screen!

"30 seconds left, get ready to go in. Go, you two!"

"Okay!"

The director announced through the in-ear monitor that Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were ready!

Even though they weren't physically present, their hearts were already at the Stade de France, thousands of miles away, in the players' tunnel!

……

Lu Xiao and Ronaldo did not exchange any words, not even eye contact.

The Belgian team and the Portuguese team are like soldiers going to the battlefield!

There are no emotions involved, just a fight to the death!

The referee was a familiar face.

Clattenburg, the referee for the Champions League final and a renowned Premier League referee.

"Come on, guys! Let's move!"

"Let's go! It's time to go on stage!"

Under the guidance of Clattenburg and the referee team

As the starting players from both sides of the final walked out of the tunnel with their ball boys, amidst the frenzied cheers of 8 people, Lu Xiao and Cristiano Ronaldo almost walked side by side past the European Championship trophy!

Lu Xiao glanced at the trophy that was so close to him and almost wanted to sneak a touch, but he resisted the urge!

Since we're going to try our luck with the trophy,

Let's wait until we win the championship!

"...We noticed that the Belgian team made slight changes to their formation based on the semi-final performance."

从4-2-3-1变成了4-3-3，张指导你怎幺看？」

"Hehehe."

Coach Zhang Lu's favorite thing to do is study tactics and formations, which he introduces in a slightly leisurely tone.

Anyway, the players from both sides just shook hands and were spreading out their formations to prepare, so there was plenty of time.

「其实4-3-3和4-2-3-1差不多，唯一的区别就是卢潇的位置。

Previously, Lu Xiao was more like a traditional attacking midfielder, always operating in front of the penalty area.

However, this sacrifices some defensive stability.

As everyone knows, Lu Xiao's defensive ability has been proven in this tournament, and he is gradually becoming an all-around midfielder.

So today's tactics were somewhat similar to Lu Xiao's time at Atletico Madrid, with the attacking midfielder positioned deep...

"That's right! Lu Xiao is still evolving; he has more of a B2B tendency."

He can play a significant role on both offense and defense, and forms the sole midfield core of the Belgian team!

Zhan Jun added further.

During his time at Atletico Madrid, with key midfielders like Koke and Gabi, Lu Xiao could confidently fight his way up the pitch.

However, Belgium's defensive midfield is too weak, lacking a true pivot in both attack and defense.

Lu Xiao was undoubtedly the only true core player in the entire game.

De Bruyne, Hazard?

They were more like co-pilots, assisting Lu Xiao in his attack.

……

at the same time,

Lu Xiao also became the youngest captain in the European Championship final, exchanging team flags with Portugal's captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

The final handshake before the match.

It was only at this point that Ronaldo couldn't help but utter some harsh words.

"This time, I will take my revenge."

Lu Xiao was almost exasperated. "No way, bro, every time you say that, you sound just like the Big Bad Wolf."

In my eyes, Cristiano Ronaldo is like an old general covered in flags.

"Come on, I hope it's a great match."

Lu Xiao deliberately said something in Portuguese, which he had only recently learned.

This completely baffled Ronaldo.

I initially thought it was a strong declaration of war.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao's magnanimous approach easily resolved the situation, clearly demonstrating his superior skill!

Even before the whistle blew,

Lu Xiao has already gained a slight advantage in terms of mindset!

"Damn it!! That kid!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo may be angry, but he really admires Lu Xiao.

"Calm down, Ronaldo, calm down!"

Ronaldo returned to his own half and took several deep breaths to calm his anger; he finally regained his composure.

Good news, Lu Xiao is great in every way, but his luck is just incredibly bad.

He always loses the right to start by flipping a coin!

From the very first second of the match, the initiative was in Portugal's hands!

Cristiano Ronaldo had a sudden inspiration and thought of the blitzkrieg tactics that Lu Xiao led Bayer Leverkusen to use back then!

"How about..."

As captain, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly rallied the Portuguese team for a final pre-match pep talk.

"Guys!! Shall we take a gamble at the start?!"

"???"

The Portuguese players looked at each other, feeling a little flustered by Ronaldo's excited face.

But since Ronaldo, the leader, has spoken, who can resist?

"Portugal!!"

"Invincible!!!"

The two sides lined up, Clattenburg with a whistle in his mouth, checking the time on his watch.

At the Stade de France, 8 people counted down together with an overwhelming roar!

Beep!

The game officially begins!

"I am the only protagonist in the final!"

Despite repeated defeats, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes still shine with an indomitable spirit!

Move the football at your feet,

The battle is on!
