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

"Welcome to LeSports, viewers. This is a live commentary by Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun."

"Today is the highlight everyone has been eagerly anticipating!"

"Leicester City, the Premier League champions who created a miracle last season! They host last season's La Liga champions, the reigning Champions League champions, and the sextuple winners – Atletico Madrid!"

"Both sides have some things in common. Both sides saw important players leave during the summer transfer window."

"For Atletico Madrid, the departures of Griezmann and Torres, coupled with a large number of injuries to the team, have dealt a major blow to Atletico Madrid."

"Premier League champions Leicester City also have key defender Kanté transferred to Chelsea."

Fortunately, Leicester City's midfield maestro Riyad Mahrez stayed with the team, and with striker Jamie Vardy on the front line, the team maintained its fighting spirit and made it to the Champions League quarterfinals!

"Atletico Madrid also has Lu Xiao, who just won the Ballon d'Or, the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in football history!"

"The two sides played to a 1-0 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, where Atletico Madrid held a slight advantage. Today, they cannot afford to be complacent at the King Power Stadium!"

Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides...

As Atletico Madrid's captain, Lu Xiao clearly felt the aggression of their opponents, Leicester City.

As a grassroots team in the Premier League, they have frequently faced strong teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

And last season they fought their way out of a bloodbath and achieved the Leicester City miracle.

Everyone in Fox City had eyes that gleamed with a wild, predatory light.

Just like Atletico Madrid last season!

Unfortunately, after Atletico Madrid's sextuple,

Lu Xiao could no longer see the beastly glint in his teammates' eyes.

Each of them has received countless accolades and has been featured in comprehensive and thorough media coverage.

Each person's net worth has increased by at least 2000 million euros.

It's like the saying, "The dragon slayer will eventually become the dragon."

Atletico Madrid is no longer the Atletico Madrid of last season.

In contrast, Leicester City,

When the two teams exchanged team flags and guessed a coin,

Lu Xiao and team captain Wes Morgan shook hands for the second time.

You could clearly feel Wes Morgan's fighting spirit; the veins on his muscular arms were bulging.

The imposing center-back, over 190cm tall, posed a significant threat to Lu Xiao.

"Lu, I hope it's a great game today."

"I hope so."

Lu Xiao lost the coin toss again, and Leicester City won the kickoff.

Wes Morgan grinned maliciously and turned back into the ranks.

The match is tense!

……

Beep!

Sure enough, from the very first moment the whistle blew,

Lu Xiao experienced firsthand the brutality of grassroots Premier League teams!

Ndidi, carrying the ball, collided directly with Saul and was penalized for a foul less than 7 seconds into the game.

Lu Xiao thought he could gain possession of the ball and launch an attack.

As a result, a short free kick was taken.

Kirk is preparing to launch a counterattack.

Defensive midfielder Drinkwater, a former Manchester United youth academy graduate, made a vicious sliding tackle, bringing Cork and the ball to the ground!

Because Drinking Water Guy tackled the ball first, it wasn't a foul!

Leicester City continue their attack!

"Vardy!!! Mahrez crosses from the left, Vardy heads the ball in front of the goal, but it goes just wide of the post!"

"Just one minute into the first half, Leicester City threatened Atletico Madrid's penalty area!"

hiss--

Zhan Jun immediately sensed something was wrong.

In the first leg, Atletico Madrid won 1-0 against Leicester City. The opponent played relatively restrainedly, and Atletico Madrid was able to take the initiative to some extent.

Leicester City thrived back at the familiar King Power Stadium.

Dominating the pace of the Premier League from the very beginning!

The transition between offense and defense is incredibly fast!

The pace is incredible!!

"Vardy!! Turn around and press! Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater... Koke is surrounded! Pass to Lu Xiao!!"

"Foul!! Ndidi fouled by turning around and pulling someone!!"

"The referee only awarded a free kick in the center circle and did not issue a card."

"But it's clear that Leicester City's defense was very determined today, and they were paying close attention to Lu Xiao."

If Lu Xiao is allowed to dribble the ball for even one more second, it means the defense will be breached.

Leicester City simply brought Lu Xiao down before he could even receive the ball!

Atletico Madrid are clearly not used to such rough fouls.

The kicking became rather chaotic for a moment.

The artillery shells were not being delivered to Lu Xiao from the rear.

On the contrary, their own rear was frequently threatened.

Lu Xiao had to drop back from the forward position to stabilize Atletico Madrid's defense.

"Wow! Lu Xiao's back! Leicester City is putting a lot of pressure on us!"

Coach Zhang kept sighing with emotion.

"Their attack wasn't complicated; they just attacked from behind, using Shinji Okazaki as a pivot and letting Vardy make the charge."

At least for now, they've done a fantastic job; Atletico Madrid is in disarray.

It should now be a 4-5-1 formation.

Lu Xiao returned to midfield, forming a midfield five with Koke, Saul, Gaitan, and Thiago Mendes to stabilize the formation.

Only Angel Correa was at the forefront.

"Lu Xiao's recovery efforts have been excellent. During this period, Atletico Madrid has gradually withstood Leicester City's attacks and created some counter-attacking opportunities!"

"Lu Xiao—Beautiful!! A long pass directly to the attacking third!"

"Angel Correa!!!"

Lu Xiao [Beckham] used muscle memory to deliver a long pass, a precise pass down to the millimeter, accurately finding the top of Angel Correa's head.

Unfortunately, Correa was too nervous and his volley was not executed well, the ball went slightly over the crossbar!

"Oh dear, it's not going in!!"

Wasting opportunities will have consequences.

Atletico Madrid had just launched a full-scale attack, but now they have to retreat to defend.

The others were still caught up in the previous attack and didn't expect Leicester City to launch a quick counterattack!

"So fast!! Leicester City's counter-attack!"

"Mahrez!! He's dribbled past two defenders in the attacking third!!"

With his left foot, he suddenly pulled Mahrez to the right wing, completely absorbed in dribbling past him and showing no desire to pass the ball.

But he's unique, and his uniqueness is quite sophisticated.

He dribbled past two Atletico Madrid players in quick succession, creating an opening!

"It's in!! Mahrez curls a left-footed shot—"

clang--

The ball hit the post, giving Atletico Madrid fans a slight sigh of relief.

However, before they could even feel relieved,

A figure has already appeared at the landing point!

"Back post!! Vardy!!!"

boom--

A clean and decisive diving header!

The football went straight into the net!

"Goal! Vardy!!"

Zhan Jun lamented, but Vardy's goal was beautiful!!

"Jamie Vardy!!"

"A magnificent goal!!! Leicester City take the lead at home!!"

Sky Sports receiver Martin Taylor is excited!

These are their England players!!

Jamie Vardy, a 29-year-old grassroots striker, is a late bloomer!

Today I finally shone on the Champions League stage!
