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

Chapter 485 Who can stop that Chinese player?

The 2017 National Day Golden Week.

While people across the country are visiting major scenic spots where there are huge crowds of people, the situation is very different.

Lu Xiao spends most of his time resting in his newly purchased £2000 million mansion in North London.

每天清晨6点起床，洗漱完雷打不动在跑步机完成每日30分钟HIIT有氧跑步，配速从6-8提升至15-18冲刺，再慢下来之后，循环8-10组。

Just then, a private therapist arrived at her door to massage and relax Lu Xiao's muscles.

This was followed by 45 minutes of strength training, conducted in groups according to a plan tailored by the club's physical trainer and team doctor.

General strength training modules + weighted high knees + standing lateral raises + short-range lateral squats + core crunches with twists, etc...

"Now that you've grown taller and your muscles have strengthened, you may not be as agile as before, but I hope that through these plans you can maintain your agility as much as possible."

These are Wenger's exact words.

Wenger certainly knew that players over 180cm are less agile than shorter players.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo's later "muscular" form had almost no flexibility whatsoever.

Their playing style mostly relies on explosive power to create distance and poaching goals in the penalty area.

If Lu Xiao also becomes this type of striker...

He is undoubtedly a world-class superstar.

But it's a bit of a shame to lose his signature flamboyant playing style and dreamlike footwork.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao relied on the power of the cheat code to integrate the muscle memory of multiple S-level players.

Despite his height of 185 cm, he still maintains the agility of Messi, allowing him to outmaneuver opponents on the field.

No wonder many opposing head coaches have marveled at Lu Xiao's phenomenal performance.

For example, Guardiola.

His exact words were:

"Lu is the most special player in the world. His physique and playing style are very unconventional. He is versatile in all aspects and can push the limits of football."

He can only be described as an exceptionally rare genius.

Lu Xiao could only say the following:

Guardiola, you have a great eye for talent!

After his daily workout, Lu Xiao either practices his ball control on the 5-a-side soccer field in the backyard of his mansion, or...

Or he could spend an afternoon reading in the study's recliner.

During his two years at Atlético Madrid, the club had already helped Lu Xiao apply to the European University of Madrid.

Although I'm usually busy with matches and training at the club,

Lu Xiao still managed to complete her credits using some of her spare time.

In addition, his special status allowed the school to help Lu Xiao complete his studies ahead of schedule and successfully award him a graduation certificate and a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports and Health Sciences.

In the world of football, where academic qualifications are not widely available, and among a group of uneducated Black athletes...

Lu Xiao is considered to be among those with relatively high educational qualifications.

Even if it's just a bachelor's degree obtained by chance, at least you still have a degree.

After arriving in England, Lu Xiao had the idea of pursuing a master's degree.

Who says athletes can't pursue graduate studies?

Compared to Lu Xiao's leisurely holiday spent reading and exercising,

The other players have had a much tougher time.

The Golden Week holiday is an international match day, and Arsenal has no training or match schedules, as most of their national team players are away playing abroad.

The 2018 World Cup qualifiers are in full swing.

Belgium is currently top of Group H in the European zone and faces no pressure to advance.

Therefore, the Belgian coaching team considered using the players for training and evaluation.

Lu Xiao was not drafted this time, allowing him to get plenty of rest.

De Bruyne, Hazard, and others all played.

October 8th, Belgium vs. Pochettino,

Lu Xiao watched the entire event on television.

4-3!

Belgium narrowly won by one goal, with Pochettino striker Ibisevic scoring a hat-trick.

Several counter-attacks nearly caused Belgium's defense to collapse.

So much so that immediately after the match, De Bruyne called to complain.

"Lu, we're having a tough time..."

"I saw it, they played really badly."

Lu Xiao muttered to himself.

European Red Devils?

I think it's more like a European version of the Chinese team.

The attacking third was a complete mess, the defense was riddled with holes, and the players were playing their own game.

Thanks to Hazard's natural talent, who won two penalties in the attacking third, they narrowly defeated Bochum and maintained their top spot in the group.

"If you continue playing like this, it will be very difficult for you to beat us in the next game."

"No, Manchester City is different from the national team. Arsenal won't win that easily!"

"There's no need for this nonsense, see you on the field."

Lu Xiao's words may have provoked De Bruyne.

10 month 11 day,

Belgium thrashed Cyprus 4-0, with De Bruyne contributing two goals and two assists and being named MVP of the match.

He truly displayed the ability of a world-class midfielder.

They had already achieved the dominance they would have had during their peak years on the field.

De Bruyne didn't say anything after the match, he just sent a short message.

Kevin: [And now?]

Lu Xiao just smiled and didn't reply.

This kid looks pretty cocky; he needs to be taught a lesson in the Premier League.

……

On October 14th, the international break ended and the Premier League resumed!

Arsenal defeated Watford 2-1 away from home.

Lu Xiao started the game, having rested and recuperated during the holiday, and scored twice to help the team secure 3 points away from home.

A simple change of direction, a cut inside, and a long-range shot in the first half opened the scoring for Watford.

But Watford quickly countered and equalized.

The FIFA virus has made Arsenal's defense a bit lax, which is evident.

The teammates were exhausted from their long journey.

Lu Xiao can only try harder.

Therefore, in the second half, they controlled the entire central axis from front to back.

Post-match statistics and trending events chart.

Lu Xiao's energy was red both in the front and backcourt, showing how intense his running was.

In the 72th minute,

After two consecutive shots missed,

With his third shot, Lu Xiao unleashed the immense power of his "Tiger Shot" inside the penalty area, creating a miracle and breaking through Watford's defensive wall.

2-1!

Watford manager Marco Silva could only manage a wry smile at the post-match press conference.

"I thought we could get a point at home. We played very well for most of the time and defended against Arsenal's many attacks."

But the other side has Lu.

Sometimes, individual heroism can indeed turn the tide and prevail.

This loss wasn't unjustified; there's really no way to deal with a player of Lu's caliber.

Marco Silva has admitted defeat.

He also knew that the team's performance this season had been mediocre, and the loss to Lu Xiao was the trigger.

I'm afraid I'll soon be featured in Lu Xiao's infamous "Death Note" and become yet another coach to be dismissed.

……

October 18, Champions League group stage.

Arsenal did not field their strongest lineup in preparation for the upcoming Premier League match.

Lu Xiao sat in front of the television in the mansion and watched the entire event.

Arsenal, fielding a reserve squad, thrashed Maribor, a small Eastern European club from Slovenia, 5-0 away from home.

It's just killing a mosquito.

There's no need to send in a nuclear weapon like Lu Xiao.

On October 21st, in the 9th round of the Premier League,

In back-to-back away games, Arsenal will visit Goodison Park to face Everton, the "Toffees".

2-5!

The home team is in front, and the away team is behind.

Everton, playing at home, did pose a certain threat to Arsenal.

Arsenal fans are thankful that they have a key player like Lu Xiao in the team.

When Everton launched two counter-attacks in the first half

With a 2-0 lead, Arsenal showed no signs of panic.

Instead, they launched a fierce and relentless retaliation!

In the second half, Lu Xiao launched the first counter-attack with a long pass from the backfield!

With precision-guided transmission exceeding 50 meters, Beckham's muscle memory came into play.

Giroud scores with a header inside the penalty area!

Five minutes later, Lu Xiao dribbled the ball into the attacking third and was tripped by an Everton midfielder, earning a free kick from 27 meters out.

It's David Beckham's muscle memory again, his signature scimitar strike is deadly!

A direct free kick is scored!

2-2, the score is tied!

Everton are scared and plan to defend their ground with a tight defensive strategy to secure a point.

But how could Lu Xiao let them have their way?

Even if Lu Xiao agrees, how could the souls of characters like Ronaldinho, Jie Shiyi, and Hyuga Kojiro, which are fused deep within his soul, possibly agree?

A quick dribble past two defenders with a crossover dribble and a chip shot just outside the penalty area, allowing him to break free and enter the box.

A powerful shot put them ahead!

2-3!

In the 69th minute, Lu Xiao's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

Sanchez took the corner kick.

Giroud jumps to set a screen at the near post.

This resulted in Lu Xiao being left unmarked near the penalty spot!

A brilliant side-volley shot found the back of the net!

2-4! Hat trick!

Just one minute later,

Arsenal intercepted the ball in the attacking third.

Lu Xiao's diagonal pass passes to the rib area.

Sanchez made a run down the left and unleashed a low, low shot that found the back of the net!
