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

"Hola, Amigo!"

"Hey, Lu!"

Coincidentally.

Beijing Daxing International Airport, baggage waiting area.

The two groups collided without warning.

The entire Barcelona team departed from Barcelona and arrived in the capital on a flight with a similar departure time.

And that's how they bumped into each other.

Lu Xiao spotted Messi in the crowd at first glance. The two made eye contact for a moment, and Messi looked away first, turning to talk to his teammates.

Griezmann felt like he was meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

He approached the Atletico Madrid players with a cheerful expression and struck up a conversation.

Halfway there, Griezmann realized something was wrong; he had become a rogue ninja!

But it would be strange to turn back now.

Griezmann was immediately embarrassed.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao, being a good Samaritan, went up first, avoiding an embarrassing situation for Griezmann.

"have not seen you for a long time."

"Not long, I suppose."

"Hehehe..." Griezmann chuckled.

His gaze passed over Lu Xiao's shoulder and glanced at his former teammate not far away.

Seeing that Saul, Juanfran, Jiménez and others looked a little off, Griezmann felt quite uncomfortable and sighed inwardly.

However, Gabi, Kirk, Godin, Oblak, and others were fine, smiling and waving to Griezmann from afar.

"Do they really hate me?"

"Would you believe me if I said I don't hate you?"

"..."

"Stop joking. Anyway, this is your choice, and whatever happens, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

"That's right, I've made up my mind to leave the team."

"How's your preparation for the match going? Are you confident?"

"Of course, this time I'm afraid I'll shatter your dream of winning six titles, and I'll also embarrass you in your own country..."

Griezmann smiled slightly.

It's clear that the Barcelona team is well-prepared.

Recently, media outlets such as Mundo Deportivo and AS have also reported that...

Griezmann integrated quickly and developed a certain understanding with Messi and Suarez. He performed very well in the first few preseason friendlies for Barcelona.

Enrique has been in charge of Barcelona for two seasons since 2014.

This is his third season, and he has learned enough from the failures of the previous two seasons.

Lu Xiao had no doubt that Enrique would make an evolution similar to that of PSG, the 2025 Champions League winners, ahead of time due to the changes in the timeline.

If we can combine Barcelona's traditional passing and possession, high-pressing system with some new and trendy tactics.

Perhaps Barcelona can truly experience a second spring.

"I understand, so I'm looking forward to a great match."

"Me too."

Griezmann didn't say much and turned back to the team.

Suarez was the first to approach.

"Antoine, what did the Asian say? Was he threatening you?"

"No, on the contrary, I issued a challenge."

"Oh? Not bad! We should tell them that Barcelona isn't the Barcelona of last season!"

Two days before the match, Suarez was already gearing up.

After a year of losses, he yearned for revenge!

As for Messi, he remained silent and observed everything.

But the gleam in Messi's eyes doesn't lie.

He believed this time would definitely be different!

……

"Hey bro, want a ticket?"

"How much."

"8,800".

"It's so expensive, why don't they just rob us!"

"Don't waste my time if you don't want to watch it; other people want to watch it too."

"etc!"

The entrance to the Bird's Nest Stadium was packed with people.

A scalper mingling in the crowd was negotiating a price with a male student who looked like a college student.

The match between Lukashen and Barcelona

Online invoices sold out in 1 second!

If you're even a fraction of a second too slow, you won't be able to grab one!

Many people complained in the comments section of Lu Xiao's Weibo that the competition tickets were even harder to get than Jay Chou's concert tickets.

There's no way around it, even if the Bird's Nest stadium has enough seats.

Even so, the sheer size of the domestic population is a major obstacle.

Football has been the hottest sport in the last two years, and Lu Xiao is the most popular superstar. It's no wonder that it's so hard to get tickets.

Fortunately, the college student came from a well-off family, so he quickly took out his phone and sent a message to his family asking them to make some rice.

With a determined effort, I bought the ticket, which had been sold for an extra 8800 yuan.

"It's worth it to see God Lu even once!"

On the day of the match,

The area around the Bird's Nest Stadium has been controlled by traffic police, and massive crowds are converging here from all over the country.

Even if they can't get into the stadium to watch the game, many people still gather outside the stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lu Xiao.

Those who managed to snag tickets are all high-class individuals.

A large group of people were queuing at the ticket gate, sweltering in the heat.

They didn't complain at all, their faces revealing the superiority complex of the upper class.

……

"Lu, don't you have a professional football stadium?"

"this……"

Saul's question put Lu Xiao in an awkward position.

Just now, the entire Atletico Madrid team went out to warm up and get a feel for the pitch and the depth and width of the field.

The result was that the Bird's Nest's low-quality turf was truly disappointing.

In addition, the Bird's Nest is a comprehensive stadium, and there is a wide track and field track around the football field.

This resulted in a large distance between the players and the stands.

Atletico Madrid players, accustomed to professional stadiums, found the spaciousness quite unsettling.

There's nothing we can do about it; football is simply not valued in the country.

Many cities have started building professional football stadiums because of the football craze in the last two years.

In the past, having a place to play football was already a blessing.

With the nation's focus on infrastructure and economic development, who cares about the quality of the stadium?

Football is a complete "balancer of national destiny".

"Lu had already given us feedback on this issue before."

Simone then chimed in to join the conversation.

"So our strategy today was fine: minimize ground passing and play more high balls and balls behind the defense."

"It's a disadvantage for us compared to Barcelona, ​​but an advantage for us."

Simeone is full of confidence.

Barcelona's passing and possession style is difficult to operate effectively on poor pitches.

In addition, the entire audience supported Lu Xiao.

The Bird's Nest is essentially Atlético Madrid's home stadium.

"The advantage is in my hands!"

Simeone was unaware that Barcelona coach Luis Enrique was also discussing the matter in the next dressing room.

"Atletico Madrid must have thought that the poor quality of the pitch would be a disadvantage for our passing and possession."

Upon hearing this, the Barcelona players smiled wryly.

Enrique looked relaxed.

"Over the past two months, I believe everyone has become basically familiar with the new tactics."

"How about we give them a huge surprise when we come on stage later?"

……

The CCTV5 broadcast team was already prepared at the Bird's Nest.

He Wei and Xu Yang were already waiting in the media section, 30 minutes before the live broadcast began.

CCTV5 Sports Channel has specially set aside prime time at 19:30 PM.

This match is reserved specifically for this crucial game in the Spanish Super Cup.

With two weeks' notice, many fans were already waiting in front of their TVs.

Back when the Italian Super Cup was held at the Bird's Nest, matches between Lazio and Inter Milan attracted a lot of fans.

The level of excitement surrounding today's match is completely different from what it was yesterday.

It's as important as a Champions League or World Cup match!

"Coach Xu, do you think Lu Xiao can successfully join the six-time champions?"

"I think it's difficult."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Coach Xu Yang paused, then frowned slightly.

"Although he has escaped unscathed before, I really think Atletico Madrid's chances of winning are slim this time."

Perhaps most people are destined to be imperfect, even Lu Xiao.

A single-match elimination champion,

In addition, Atletico Madrid lost players,

And rumors of Barcelona's new tactics...

I've said this many times: Lu Xiao's chances of survival are slim.

But this time it might be for real.
