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

"Seriously? How come playing Leicester City is harder than playing Barcelona?"

At the end of January, shortly after Lu Xiao won the Ballon d'Or, La Liga faced a challenge from Barcelona.

Compared to last season's thrilling matches against Barcelona,

Playing against Barcelona this season has been rather dull.

Barcelona's performance, much like their performance in the Spanish Super Cup, was hesitant and timid.

They were completely suppressed by Lu Xiao.

The record of zero wins against Lu Xiao is like a nightmare haunting the Barcelona players.

Even though Atletico Madrid didn't perform that well, they still created many opportunities throughout the match.

Barcelona, ​​however, dared not attack, missing many good opportunities.

Lu Xiao capitalized on a set piece, curling a beautiful shot into the net.

Furthermore, in the second half, they combined with left winger Gaitán to launch a beautiful counter-attack.

He received a cutback pass from Gaitán inside the penalty area.

A hammer!

They ultimately defeated Barcelona 2-0 at home, making up for the disappointment of losing to Barcelona in the first half of the season due to injuries and absences.

After defeating Barcelona, ​​Lu Xiao believes that Atletico Madrid still has considerable fighting power if they play seriously.

After all, most of the players in the midfield and defense are the main lineup of the six-time champions.

However, facing the fast-paced impact of the Premier League...

Coupled with the teammates' disdain,

Atletico Madrid is at a significant disadvantage!

In the first half, they mostly tried to defend and didn't create any decent opportunities.

Leicester City 1-0 Atletico Madrid

They returned to the locker room with a temporary advantage.

"It feels like Atletico Madrid has lost its hunger for glory; their tackling isn't as aggressive as it was last season."

Coach Zhang spotted Atletico Madrid's problems.

In fact, this problem has existed all season.

This is a common problem faced by many teams that have won the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid was no exception.

"Leicester City made it to the Champions League for the first time, and their performance was unexpected. They played well in the group stage and made Atletico Madrid very uncomfortable after reaching the quarterfinals."

"It all depends on Luka's performance in the second half! Can Luka, the god himself, continue his miracle today?"

Zhan Jun could only manage a wry smile.

Are we already expecting a miracle from Lu Xiao when it's only the Champions League quarterfinals?

What should we do when facing strong enemies in the future?

This season, Real Madrid has shaken off their slump and is dominating La Liga, currently leading Barcelona by 7 points and holding a commanding lead in the league.

Furthermore, they achieved a commendable 15 points in the Champions League group stage and thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 8-0 in the round of 16.

They just won 4-0 against Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.

That's terrifyingly strong!

Zhan Jun is a little worried. If the current Atletico Madrid were to face this undefeated Real Madrid team,

Even if Lu Xiao is a genius, he might not be able to save Atletico Madrid.

Soon, Zhan Jun realized that his worries were unnecessary.

In different senses.

Leicester City's intense pressing made Atletico Madrid uncomfortable, leading to numerous mishaps and frequent interruptions in the second half.

"A foul by Leicester City, Ndidi receives a yellow card."

"Despite losing Kanté, Ndidi's defensive aggression was very strong. Today, he repeatedly thwarted Atlético Madrid players' passes to Lu Xiao, effectively limiting Lu Xiao's teammates..."

A vicious tackle forced Thiago Mendes, the only available defensive midfielder, to leave the field injured.

Atletico Madrid, already plagued by injuries, suffered an even greater blow.

Head coach Simeone is extremely worried.

Quickly bring on the substitute defensive midfielder, Ghanaian midfielder Partey.

"The clock has reached 77 minutes, and time is running out for Atletico Madrid. It all depends on whether Lu Xiao can..."

Zhan Jun was still saying that Atletico Madrid had already taken a quick free kick from the center circle!

Gaitan broke through one player on the left wing and made a wide diagonal pass to the right wing!

Angel Correa received the ball and intended to break through, causing Leicester City left-back Fuchs to take a few steps back.

Who would have thought that Angel Correa would suddenly make a cross pass!

The ball is passed to a wide-open space just outside the penalty area!

"Was the pass misplaced?"

While Zhan Jun was still wondering, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness!

"Lu Xiao!!! God Lu caught it!!!"

Spatial perception is proving its power once again!!

Lu Xiao anticipated this and saw the location of the "puzzle piece".

He rushed forward and took a sharp step with the ball.

The right toe reaches its maximum distance to complete a "cow tail" pose!!

Get past center-back Huth as quickly as possible!!

"Fuck!!"

The tall center-back Huth turned around very slowly. By the time he turned around and saw Lu Xiao, he had already been two body lengths ahead!

"Lu Shen!!! Smash the door!!!"

Lu Xiao, inside the penalty area, did not hesitate at all!

Go for it!

A fierce tiger!!!

boom--

Filled with resentment at falling behind and a twisted desire for victory!

Lu Xiao's shot was incredibly penetrating!

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel at this moment longs to inherit the abilities of his father, Peter Schmeichel.

However, he was slightly inferior to Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper, Schmeichel.

The football pierced the goal with tremendous force!

"Goal! Lukaku is on fire! Atletico Madrid has equalized from behind!"

"1-1!!!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed in admiration!

We really have to wait and see if Lu Xiao can create a miracle!

When the rest of Atletico Madrid can't be relied upon, only Lu Xiao can still perform consistently!

1-1, 2-1 on aggregate.

There is also an away goal, which means that

As long as Atletico Madrid holds on to their lead...

Even if Leicester City equalizes the aggregate score, they will still be eliminated by Atletico Madrid!

Head coach Simeone quickly made a substitution.

Angel Correa was replaced by substitute center-back Savic.

Form the ultimate 5-4-1 ironclad defense!

Leicester City excels at counter-attacking.

Tackling tough challenges is not their forte.

Atletico Madrid's defensive strength is theoretically enough to guarantee the elimination of their opponents!

"It's safe!!"

Simeone secretly raised his arms in celebration, while also feeling fortunate that Lu Xiao was still on the team.

Otherwise, Atletico Madrid would be finished.

After the substitution, Atletico Madrid's defense proved to be rock-solid, giving Leicester City few opportunities.

Leicester City surrounded the penalty area, unable to create a crisis for a long time.

"Mahrez!! Attempting a breakthrough!! His teammate is calling for the ball... but he doesn't get it!! He takes a shot himself!!"

"The shot hit the side netting; it was too difficult to get a shot off."

"...It's Leicester City attacking again, this time on the right flank, Albrighton, and they're moving very fast!!"

"Caught between Lu Xiao and Saul, we had no choice but to pass back."

"Leicester City lacks the ability to break down a tight defense."

After all, in the Premier League, Leicester City plays a counter-attacking style; nobody uses a tight defense against them.

Against a grassroots Premier League team, a tight defense is somewhat of a disadvantage.

But Simeone only needs to advance; who cares if it looks good or not?

"However... Atletico Madrid relies too much on defense; Lu Xiao is even providing cover in the penalty area..."

Coach Zhang was a little worried because Lu Xiao was spending more time in the backcourt due to tactical requirements.

Without anyone threatening the frontcourt, opponents are bound to act with impunity.

Sure enough, karma has come back to bite us!

In the 87th minute of the match, Leicester City, disregarding everything else, frantically launched long balls into the penalty area.

Jimenez had positioned himself and was preparing to jump for the header.

As a result, during the aerial confrontation with Shinji Okazaki, he misjudged the situation and went over the bar!

"Ouch! This ball!!"

As the ball unexpectedly flew towards the far post, Vardy gently poked it in from close range!

"Goal! Vardy!!!"

"Leicester City are leading 2-1 at home, making the aggregate score 2-2!!"

"Although they are still trailing by an away goal, Leicester City's morale has clearly improved."

There are about 5 minutes left in the game, including stoppage time.

Atletico Madrid's Champions League qualification hopes have been reignited!

"hiss--"

Lu Xiao suddenly felt a blackout.

I immediately had a bad feeling.
