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

"Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"My God!! Holy shit! Lu, you actually came!"

"OMG! I thought the news was a joke, we really signed Lue!"

When Arsenal began their training camp, Lu Xiao arrived at the Colney training ground in North London.

The whole team felt like they had seen a rock star, and everyone crowded around.

Lu Xiao was only 20 years old when June just ended.

At this point, any player of the same age in any club would at most be a young player in the U21 reserve team or a fringe player in the first team.

Occasionally, a few exceptional talents manage to secure a starting position in the first team.

Even Kylian Mbappé, who rose to fame at Monaco and had just joined Paris Saint-Germain,

He's not the number one player in Paris Saint-Germain either.

The real number one player in Paris is Neymar, who was signed for a record-breaking 2.2 million euros.

Lavezzi, Verratti, and others are also of a higher status than Mbappe.

As for Ronaldo at 20 and Messi at 20, they were not the absolute leaders in their respective teams.

Messi has not yet shaken off Ronaldinho's influence.

Cristiano Ronaldo was also firmly suppressed by big names like Van Nistelrooy, Giggs, and Scholes.

Lu Xiao, at the age of 20, is already a Ballon d'Or winner and a world-renowned top football superstar.

His legendary performance over the past few seasons is a height that most players can never reach in their entire careers.

In theory, jumping from the Bundesliga to La Liga, and then to the Premier League,

Lu Xiao should start from 0.

Gradually build up your teammates' goodwill and trust.

But judging from the performance of Arsenal players,

It seems there's no need to accumulate points anymore; you're already at max level from the start.

Aside from Özil, even Sanchez was happy about Lu Xiao's arrival.

Özil simply stood quietly on the outside, observing Lu Xiao with his signature sleepy, dead-fish eyes.

Lu Xiao exchanged a glance with him across the crowd, temporarily ignoring Özil.

"Hey Lu! Is your weekly salary really 40?"

"Lu, I absolutely love China! I even learned a Chinese phrase, listen to it... 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' (Wishing you prosperity)!"

"My God, Lou, why did you choose Arsenal?"

Lu Xiao felt like she was at a celebrity meet-and-greet.

I could only exchange a few words with each person in a hurry.

God knows why these Arsenal players are so enthusiastic towards me.

This also includes Giroud, with whom he has faced off multiple times in the European Championship.

Giroud had intended to pull Lu Xiao aside and say something,

Unfortunately, Wenger brought his coaching team to the locker room.

"I believe everyone has met Lu before, and I don't need to go into too much detail about his identity."

"Guys, I only have one thing to say."

Wenger's expression quickly turned serious.

The locker room fell silent instantly, everyone watching Wenger in quiet contemplation.

He managed Arsenal for 20 years.

Wenger already has considerable authority.

"The club spent a lot of money to sign Lukashenko this season, so our goal is definitely not as simple as just finishing in the top four."

Wenger smiled.

Wenger already knew about this Arsenal joke.

But none of the players below dared to laugh.

"That's right, our goal is difficult, but I believe that with everyone working together, we can definitely achieve it!"

What is the goal?

"champion!"

"champion!"

"champion!!"

Without Lu Xiao, Arsenal players might not be so confident.

But Lu Xiao's addition,

It gave everyone boundless courage and confidence!

"We, Arsenal, are invincible!"

……

"With Lu Xiao joining the team, Arsenal is not invincible. Their recent preseason friendlies have been worrying."

They were held to a draw by a Championship team, and then lost to a League One team.

Is it really true that Lu can't adapt to the pace of the Premier League?

How to resolve the issue of Lu Xiao and Özil coexisting as a dual-core player in the new season is probably Wenger's sweet and happy dilemma.

— Manchester Evening News

"In the preseason friendlies, Arsenal had 3 draws, 1 win, and 2 losses. Their summer signing, who cost a total of €1.8 million, seems to have lost his magic..."

—The Guardian

"Lu had already lost his magic last season. Perhaps the key player who led Atletico Madrid to the treble was really Griezmann?"

—The Sun

For Lu Xiao,

After joining Arsenal, the whole team, like the Premier League, suddenly switched to double speed.

Every day is filled with high-intensity training, competition, and drills.

In order to adapt to the latest football trends, Wenger required Arsenal to also adapt to high pressing and to have sufficient physical fitness.

The entire team endured a month of hellish torment.

Returning from grueling training

Arsenal will participate in a series of preseason friendlies.

The warm-up matches were held quietly only in England, with only one win in six games.

Lu Xiao only scored 3 goals in 6 games, and his performance was not as amazing as everyone expected.

As a result, the media has recently begun to question Lu Xiao's popularity again.

"I've said it before, the credit for Atlético Madrid's treble win belongs to Griezmann, and Lu is just a good-looking idol."

Sanchez, editor of the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo, has not forgotten about Lu Xiao.

Even if they leave La Liga for the Premier League.

While Barcelona and Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief, they also took the opportunity to join the trend of criticizing them on social media.

This has led some neutral fans to begin to have doubts.

"Is Lu really completely useless?"

Of course, this view is only held by a minority, and the Arsenal players did not take it seriously at all.

While eating in the cafeteria, they were still mocking these ignorant netizens.

"People online are stunned. Can't they see all of Lu's brilliant goals and plays?"

"Yes, anyone who has watched the game will not question Lu, unless they are all fake fans who don't watch the game."

"Lu, don't take it to heart. Who knows what kind of idiots are on the internet?"

Lu Xiao didn't comment, but his Arsenal teammates comforted him first.

The one who just spoke was defensive midfielder Ramsey, known as "The Grim Reaper".

Previously, every time Ramsey scored a goal, a social celebrity passed away.

This meme hasn't been used for a long time now.

Because Ramsey transformed from a simple defensive midfielder into a box-to-box all-around player, he participated in more attacks and scored more goals in Wenger's team.

Lu Xiao's arrival should, in theory, weaken Ramsey's position.

Ramsey should be aware of the crisis.

But he was very enthusiastic about Lu Xiao and even wanted to help Lu Xiao integrate into the team more quickly.

Later, in the Arsenal documentary,

Ramsey then revealed his secret.

"To be honest, I was initially worried that Lu's presence might turn me into a fringe player."

However, if I could become teammates with such a great genius and win a championship together,

I no longer care about being in the limelight.

As long as we win, and help the professor win the championship, that's all that matters.

"Yeah, Lue, I believe more people support you. Your jerseys have been selling like hotcakes lately."

"Starting defensive midfielder," Swiss international Granit Xhaka said with a smile.

He came to Arsenal wanting to achieve glory.

Clearly, Lu Xiao's ability greatly increases the likelihood of winning the championship.

Why doesn't Zaka welcome Lu Xiao?

Of the entire team, Özil's role is probably the only one that's somewhat awkward.

The Turk wasn't eating with his teammates at that moment; he was just sitting quietly on the edge, eating his own meal.

Lu Xiao could also sense Özil's complex feelings towards himself.

In recent warm-up matches, when the two players were on the field at the same time, it always felt like the attacking play was not smooth.

That problem will then be left to head coach Wenger.

Is it possible for the two to coexist?

Or should we abandon Özil and let Lu Xiao take on the role of the number 10 in the midfield and attack?

With the Premier League season fast approaching, Arsenal doesn't have much time left to make adjustments!
