Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.
Chapter 479 Only he can help Arsenal win the title
Shocking! Lu Xiao scores in the opening 13 seconds of his Premier League debut, completing a hat-trick to secure a 3-0 victory over Leicester City!
Arsenal's triumphant return! Ballon d'Or winner shines! Premier League giants shake! Arsenal 3-0 Leicester City
The €1.8 million man scores a hat-trick in his debut match; Wenger says after the game: "There's a reason why he's so expensive."
If we're talking about who was happiest immediately after the match, it's definitely Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.
The old professor, wearing glasses, smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face.
When Arsène Wenger shook hands with Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare, he could barely contain his smile.
Craig Shakespeare was very upset.
After Lu Xiao miraculously opened the scoring just 13 seconds into the game...
Craig Shakespeare knew he was doomed.
He will become yet another name on Lu Xiao's "coach killer" list.
"Congratulations, you have acquired the best player in the world."
Craig Shakespeare was earnestly flattering him.
"Thank you. It was a great game."
Wenger was just being polite; he still had to brag about it at the press conference!
Of course, Wenger had one more thing to do before attending the post-match press conference.
In the noisy environment of the Emirates Stadium, he dialed the number of CEO Stan Kroenke.
"Mr. Kroenke, did you watch the game?"
"Take off that smile, you know I'm here!"
Stan Kroenke was very unhappy.
He was naturally happy that the team won, but Wenger was the one who was unhappy.
Knowing full well that he was watching the game live, asking that question on purpose was definitely a way of pressuring him.
At the beginning of the season, Kroenke promised that if Lue proved himself, he would naturally increase Lue's salary and give him a new contract.
However, this was just a delaying tactic to intercept Lu Xiao's statement.
Kroenke didn't believe Lu Xiao would agree to join Arsenal.
Having nothing to offer, what makes Lu Xiao think he can get here?
As it turned out, Lu Xiaozhen really came!
Damn it!
This feels like something like a low-income ordinary person who dreams of owning a Ferrari supercar.
One day, he actually won the lottery—a Ferrari!
Along with excitement, he also felt fear.
They simply cannot afford the enormous cost of maintaining their car!
Moreover, after buying the car, you won't be able to sell the Ferrari to someone else for at least one season!
Lu Xiao's arrival was prestigious, but the actual economic pressure was enormous!
Kroenke used most of the funds from North America to barely pay Lu Xiao's transfer fee.
The board of directors now has many complaints about him.
If Lu Xiao performs poorly, they can find an excuse to sell him during the winter transfer window.
As a result, Lu Xiao had an amazing start!
Wenger also demanded a new contract for Lu Xiao.
Kroenke was both happy and annoyed.
"That's a good thing, isn't it?"
Stan Kroenke tried to convince himself.
"Mr. Kroenke?"
"Mr. Wenger, don't rush things. I know Lou played exceptionally well today, and the team won the first game beautifully. But regarding the contract, we need to observe Lou's performance further."
Don't worry, if Lu can truly lead Arsenal to great heights, the board will definitely offer him a new contract; they need to build a dynasty around him.
Regardless, let's just make a promise first.
This is a passive skill for all bosses.
"I hope it's as you say, Mr. Kroenke. As you know, Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen both missed out on treasures because of short-sightedness; they missed their best chance to create a dynasty."
I'm sure you won't want to miss it.
Just as Wenger was about to hang up, a younger voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hi! Alsena!"
"Josh? Is there anything else you want to say?"
It turns out to be Josh Kroenke, Stan Kroenke's son, and also the "crown prince" of the Kroenke family.
Compared to Stan, Josh Kroenke is obviously easier to talk to, more open-minded, and has the relaxed air of a North American playboy.
"Don't worry about what my father says, we will definitely keep Lu here and let him play here for the rest of his life."
"That would be for the best... I won't say any more, I'm going to hold a press conference."
Wenger shook his head and hung up the phone.
Good bosses are rare these days. Most businessmen prioritize profit, and team performance and fans are not their primary concerns.
Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid... too many teams have dismantled their stellar squads and forced out their successful coaches in pursuit of short-term gains.
Wenger thought to himself, if even with Lu Xiao this season, he still couldn't achieve greatness,
I might as well just retire.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao gave Wenger a shot in the arm!
Wenger couldn't help but think of Henry in 03 after his unbeatable performance today!
No, Lou's existence is even more exaggerated than Henry's!
"Could it be that the unattainable goal of winning the Champions League is finally within reach?"
Wenger quickly shook his head to dispel the thought.
He's been afraid for so many years that he doesn't even dare to open a bottle of champagne.
This is only the first match.
……
In the second round of the Premier League, Stoke City defeated Arsenal 1-0.
The match had progressed to the 52nd minute of the second half, and the score remained 1-0!
Arsenal faced fierce resistance from Stoke City away from home!
"It seems that Arsenal, who beat Leicester City 3-0 in their first match, were unable to maintain their pressure today."
Wenger made adjustments to the lineup, with Lu Xiao and Özil both appearing in the attacking midfield position, forming a double attacking midfield.
However, the attacking organization was even more chaotic than in the first round, and it seems that Lu Xiao really cannot coexist with Özil.
Instead, the home team, Stoke City, scored, using their height advantage to head in a corner kick in the first half...
Stoke City, a well-known "header team" in the Premier League, has the tallest average height among the teams, and plays a typical English style of football.
Against Manchester City, they might be overwhelmed by City's precise short passing and find themselves completely disoriented.
But today Arsenal didn't put much pressure on them; their tight defense was enough to withstand Arsenal's attack.
Lu Xiao had tried his best, managing two shots in the first half, but both were blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area.
"Should we move Lu back a bit? He's too conspicuous around the penalty area and can't receive the ball at all."
The assistant coach on the sidelines tried to remind Wenger.
Wenger shook his head:
"No, let's wait and see. I trust Lu has his own judgment."
On the field, Wenger gave Lu Xiao absolute autonomy.
He can adjust his tactics at any time based on the situation on the field, which is faster than the head coach conveying information.
If Lu Xiao is as Wenger predicted, he might be able to adjust on his own.
This is the quality that Wenger values most, something even Özil can't possess.
If Lu Xiao is also unable to help, Wenger will have no choice but to temporarily remove Özil.
……
Meanwhile, on the field...
Lu Xiao felt that the battles near the penalty area were too intense, and he was using all his strength to fight his opponent.
We have to find a way to make some noise!
"Mesut!"
"What?"
"Move a little closer to the middle, I'll go to the back!"
"What?"
Lu Xiao didn't have time to explain and quickly moved to the defensive midfield position.
This made Özil's eyes widen.
Lu Xiao is theoretically a shadow forward, a number 10 player, so why should I give up the number 10 to him?
Why is he still playing as a number 6?
But there was no time to think it through. Özil didn't want to lose either, so he could only wait and see what Lu Xiao would do.
Soon, Arsenal launched an attack. After a series of passes between Lu Xiao and Xhaka, Lu Xiao surprisingly passed the ball to himself!
"What?"
Özil felt a little guilty; out of some selfish reasons, he hadn't unconditionally trusted Lu Xiao.
The other party actually trusts me!
Özil was relatively relaxed when he first received the ball. He took two steps forward to attract two defenders before turning and passing it back.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Xiao quickly inserted himself from the other side!
"Never mind!"
Özil gritted his teeth, cut back to his left foot to get past his opponent, and then extended his leg to intercept the ball.
At the same time, he spun an arc and sent it to Lu Xiao!
The ball flew over the heads of a Stoke City defender and headed towards the penalty area!
"Can he do it?"
The thought had barely formed when
The next second, Lu Xiao unleashed a powerful left-footed shot inside the penalty area!
Another backward foot landing in mid-air!
Difficult shooting moves are performed with ease by Lu Xiao!
boom--
The football burst through the goal like a cannonball!
"pretty!!"
Özil was convinced.
Perhaps this man really can help Arsenal win the title.
Something that neither he nor Sanchez could do.
Only he can do it.
