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

"Lu Xiao!! Stand on the sidelines and replace Angel Correa!"

"Look how excited Atletico Madrid fans are!"

Zhan Jun was extremely excited.

His tone regained its former enthusiasm.

Atletico Madrid, the reigning Champions League champions, have been pushed to this point by the relatively insignificant Kashima Antlers.

Kashima Antlers led Atletico Madrid 1-0, a lead that lasted until the 80th minute.

The fans in the home stands are going crazy, they can't wait to pop some champagne and celebrate.

Lu Xiao's injury and absence allow Kashima Antlers to pull off a major upset, defeating the Champions League winners to win the Club World Cup!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Atletico Madrid will become the most humiliating team of 2016.

The more glorious the first half of the year, the more miserable the second half.

Fans from other clubs will gang up on them and beat them while they're down.

However, in this moment of despair

The appearance of that man on the sidelines was even more reassuring than Captain America's appearance in Avengers: Infinity War!

"Lu Xiao! Coming on as a substitute!"

"It's said he'll need more than four months to recover, but in this critical moment, Lu Xiao had no choice but to play despite his injury!"

"Taking on a mission in a time of crisis!"

Zhan Jun was a little worried for Lu Xiao.

But Lu Xiao had already rushed into the arena with a determined look in his eyes.

In a flash,

The entire venue for the Club World Cup final—Yokohama International Stadium—was completely silent, with nearly 6 people present.

Only the thousands of Atlético Madrid fans and Chinese fans in the away stands were excited and restless!

"They were scared!"

"Life's in a panic!"

"God Lu, ahhhhh!"

"Holy crap, Lu Shen really went for it!"

Before the match, many rumors were flying around, with some saying Lu Xiao would play and others saying he couldn't play because his injury hadn't fully recovered.

The truth and the falsehood are mixed together.

Fans are unsure whether Lu Xiao will be able to make the appearance.

If he hasn't played after 80 minutes, I'm afraid he's out of the running.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shen still showed up!

It's even more reassuring than Ultraman transforming!

"Lu Xiao comes on as a substitute, going directly to the forward position..."

"It is said that his knee injury has recovered, and it seems that there should be no problem."

Zhan Jun was still discussing Lu Xiao's injury with Coach Zhang.

Atletico Madrid have launched an attack from their own half.

Goalkeeper Oblak throws the ball to Koke in front of him.

After a quiet game, Kirk felt much more at ease seeing that the team had found its leader.

He dribbled past the defender, feigning a pass to the right wing.

But then, out of the blue, a long pass was launched straight into the attacking third!

"Lu!! You taught me this!"

Lu Xiao awakened David Beckham's muscle memory and coached Kirk for a period of time at the training ground.

Kirk practiced diligently and gradually mastered Beckham's long passing technique!

Faced with a desperate situation, Kirk couldn't care less about anything else and launched an ultra-long-range guided missile straight at the restricted area!

Gaku Shibasaki, the number 10 core player of Kashima Antlers, a member of the Emperor's Cup and J-League champions, immediately realized that something was wrong!

His pupils dilated sharply, and he immediately shouted a warning to the backstage area.

"Ueda!!気をつけて! (Be careful, it's dangerous!!)"

However, center-back Naomichi Ueda was still not on guard.

Perhaps his smooth performance in the first 80 minutes made him a little complacent and underestimate Lu Xiao.

What can a Chinese man with a knee injury do...?

Nani?

How could this be repaired?!

The moment Naomichi Ueda turned his head, a red and white figure had already appeared in mid-air!

His eyes seemed to burn with eerie blue flames as he executed a graceful bicycle kick above his head!

"Masaki? (Real or false?)"

Naomichi Ueda stood there like a background character in an anime, his mouth agape, eyes wide open, muttering to himself.

The Chinese people in mid-air are simply divine!

boom--

The merciless barb goes straight for the dead end!

Veteran goalkeeper Keisuke Sogabe had absolutely no reaction!

"Goal! Lu Shen is the god!!"

"Do you remember the 'surprise substitute' from Bayer Leverkusen on the Rhine?"

"Lu Shen's incredible record of scoring every time he comes off the bench continues!!"

"Just 30 seconds after coming on as a substitute, Lu Xiao has helped Atletico Madrid equalize!"

Zhan Jun's voice became hoarse from shouting, but he didn't care!

The Club World Cup, which was originally dull and uninteresting, inexplicably became exciting from the moment Lu Xiao came on as a substitute!

"You can always trust Lu Shen!"

"Hehehe! Lu Xiao, that was a beautiful shot! You played really well!"

Coach Zhang smacked his lips and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Just how good was that shot?

I wish I could enjoy it repeatedly with just a couple of ounces of baijiu!

"Beautiful, so beautiful!!"

Lu Xiao's goal was both entertaining and crucial!

Atletico Madrid, who were initially behind, were greatly encouraged after Lu Xiao equalized!

Everyone gathered around Lu Xiao to celebrate!

"Hurry, there's still time!!"

With the substitution and the time spent celebrating, the match has already reached 85 minutes.

Atletico Madrid needs to score one more goal.

Otherwise, it's still not safe.

"Gooooooooooooal——"

"Lu Xiao!!! The soul of Atletico Madrid!! The honor of Spanish football needs a Chinese to save it!"

Spanish commentator José Ángel also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Atletico Madrid really loses to a smaller team today...

When Atletico Madrid returns to Spain, they will definitely be subjected to a barrage of criticism and condemnation from the media.

That would be adding insult to injury for Atletico Madrid, completely ruining their season.

Thankfully, they had Lu Xiao!

Thankfully, Lu Xiao recovered in time!

……

The game continued, and the final five minutes ticked by.

It's clear that Kashima Antlers, playing on their home turf in Yokohama, are starting to panic, fearing that Atletico Madrid might launch another surprise attack and score.

Kashima Antlers opted for a tight, defensive strategy, hoping to force overtime.

If it goes into overtime

With Atletico Madrid riddled with injuries, they have no substitutes left, and Kashima Antlers can wear them down.

The Club World Cup champion is still a champion!

The final moments of the Club World Cup final,

It turned into a half-game offensive and defensive drill.

Every time Lu Xiao makes a move, he will be surrounded by more than four opponents.

Unfortunately, his teammates lacked finishing ability.

Gaitan, Gameiro, Koke, Saul, and others were all in terrible shooting form today.

Only Lu Xiao can be counted on.

This made it very easy for Kashima Antlers to defend.

Simeone was forced to make a final substitution, bringing on Italian substitute striker Cerci to draw attention in the penalty area.

Let Lu Xiao drop back into midfield more often to receive the ball, so he can have more opportunities to hold the ball.

However, Lu Xiao was far from the goal and thus lost some of his threat.

Atletico Madrid is struggling to manage both ends of the pitch.

We can only hope that Lu Xiao can play both father and mother roles, relying purely on his own abilities.

"This is the coach's instruction. Please, Lu."

"No problem!"

Facing Cerci's tactical instructions, Lu Xiao was under a lot of pressure, but he still maintained a nonchalant and carefree smile, giving his teammates a thumbs up.

"Time has entered stoppage time, and Kashima Antlers are not letting their guard down at all."

"Because the whole world knows that Lu Xiao is most terrifying during stoppage time."

There are only 3 minutes of stoppage time!

The referee even kept checking his watch, seemingly intending to stop the game at any moment.

Lu Xiao became increasingly anxious.

I gritted my teeth and decided to dribble past them myself!

"hiss--"

The lingering pain in his knees didn't stop Lu Xiao.

He swayed his body dramatically, spiking through the opponent's legs with a long-range spike, and changed direction to get past them!

My left knee was in so much pain I almost broke out in a sweat!

But it worked very well!

Lu Xiao continued with his left foot's "bull tail" kick, getting past two players in a row!

The 【Bee Joy Return】template is fully unleashed!

"Now!! Puzzle!!!"

Marseille dribbled past the third player, and Lu Xiao was already about 23 meters in front of the penalty area!

A fierce tiger!!

[Spatial Awareness] Capturing a fleeting window of opportunity!

This might be the only chance in the entire game!

boom--

If this ball doesn't go in, Atletico Madrid's extra time will likely be very difficult.

Lu Xiao wasn't actually very confident either.

Tiger Shot isn't 100% accurate!

who cares!

Take a gamble!

"Lu Xiao, kick him yourself!!!"

This long-range shot captivated the hearts of football fans worldwide!

All eyes followed the cannonball as it was fired, turning towards the goal!

whoosh-

Swah——

The crisp sound of swishing the net!

Immediately following this was a volcanic eruption of cheers from the away team's stands!

"A world-class goal!!! A steal!!"

"Lu Xiao came on as a substitute and scored twice in less than 10 minutes!! A decisive goal!!"

"The Club World Cup is ours!!"

"Let's all shout together, Atlético Madrid – the champions!!"

"Lu Xiao!!! Six-time champion!"

Regarding the 2016 Club World Cup,

Let this moment be frozen in time forever!

Lu Xiao was surrounded by the entire Atletico Madrid team.

She was smiling exceptionally brightly!

"Six-time champion—I've got it!"
