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

"Holy crap!! That was a great shot!!"

In the small but cozy living room of the rented apartment,

Xiao Yue, with her hair tied in a bun, raised her arms and cheered sweetly.

This left Li Xin speechless.

Is this still the same gentle, sweet-voiced, adorable girlfriend?

He's a completely different person the moment he sees the ball.

Despite not being interested in football, he gets excited every time he watches Lu Shen's games, even more so than he does himself.

Seeing Lu Shen's abs, Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he almost got jealous.

But that's God Lu after all, so it's understandable.

10 minutes ago.

The score was 0-0, and 32 minutes into the game, neither side had scored.

"It's clear that although both sides have very sharp attacks, they are currently the two highest-scoring teams in the Premier League."

But this is a battle worth 6 points.

Both the home team Manchester City and the away team Arsenal were very restrained and focused more on defense.

Can you believe that Guardiola's Manchester City was forced to play a defensive counter-attacking game?

Arsenal's high pressing in the attacking third made it difficult for Manchester City to organize passes easily, and also prevented Manchester City from pushing their formation too far forward.

Manchester City opted to temporarily solidify their defense while pressing Arsenal's other players with all three lines to prevent Lu Xiao from receiving any ammunition.

Özil can take the ball freely, but Lu Xiao can't touch it.

Therefore, Arsenal will temporarily rely on Lu Xiao to draw the enemy's attention, while Özil will be in charge of organizing the attack.

Despite providing several opportunities to both sides, Özil was unable to break through Manchester City's defense.

Instead, Manchester City launched a counter-attack and almost scored.

"It's clear that Arsenal's three-man defense isn't providing enough protection for the gaps in the flanks."

If the two wing-backs can't get back, it will be difficult for the three center-backs alone to stop Manchester City's fast attacks.

Coach Zhang astutely pointed out Arsenal's defensive problems.

Arsenal, who had a dream start to the season with 10 consecutive wins, are not invincible; their defense still has significant problems.

It's just that we haven't encountered any strong teams yet; it's easy to run into problems when we do.

Sure enough, just one minute later, Arsenal's attack failed, and Lu Xiao desperately shook off Fernandinho's entanglement, about to move forward.

If Özil were bolder, he could send a lobbed pass to the edge of the penalty area.

Lu Xiao is confident of creating a goal.

However, Özil not only lacked confidence in his own footwork, but also dared not gamble on whether Lu Xiao could get the ball.

He hesitated and didn't pass, and the only gap was instantly filled.

Soon, Özil was also caught in a pincer movement by De Bruyne and Kyle Walker.

De Bruyne, who was active for 30 minutes, didn't seem like a typical playmaker midfielder; he was giving it his all today, doing all the dirty and hard work.

He grabbed Özil's clothes and poked the ball away with his foot!

"Hey!! That's a foul!!"

Özil shrugged, but referee Atkinson ignored him.

"Get back on defense! Get back on defense!!"

Lu Xiao had already started driving back ahead of time.

Today's referee is Kenny Atkinson, a renowned Premier League referee and one of the "Fantastic Four" infamous in Europe.

They didn't see the obvious foul of pulling someone down, and Manchester City's counter-attack had already crossed the halfway line.

"Now!!"

De Bruyne intercepted the ball and made a forward run, Kyle Walker played a through ball to him.

De Bruyne, who had been observing the opponent's movements, launched a wide-ranging pass without stopping the ball.

Ramsey's attempt to grab the ball resulted in him missing his target!

"Oh no!! This kid!"

Lu Xiao has witnessed many midfield masters, and he himself has mastered Beckham's footwork.

I'm still amazed by the pass from my good friend De Bruyne.

The football traced a beautiful arc, precisely dropping from the right side of the field to the left.

A slightly dark-skinned striker made a high-speed run down the left flank.

wing-back Bellerin was still 800 miles behind, chasing after them, and there was no way he could catch up!

Koscielny gritted his teeth and went forward to try to intercept.

But Sané suddenly changed the pace and outmaneuvered him!

"Sané!! He overtook us on the left wing!! He's past us!!!"

Zhan Jun sensed something was wrong, and his heart rate rose.

Sané had already rushed into the penalty area and swung his foot to strike the ball.

"Cech!!! He reacted so quickly!!"

Cech, wearing a tank helmet, quickly got to the ground and blocked the ball.

Before Arsenal fans could even celebrate, a figure had already bypassed Mustafi and poked the ball with his foot.

"Aguero!!! That's a steal!!!"

"Manchester City's quick counter-attack paid off! Aguero tapped in the rebound!"

"Manchester City open the scoring 1-0 in the 37th minute of the first half!!"

Who would have thought that Guardiola would abandon possession-based football and instead opt for fast counter-attacks?

Sané, the winger who had been somewhat marginalized, has surprisingly become the main attacker today!

On the left side, they used their speed advantage to exploit the gaps in the three-defender system.

Aguero and Bernardo Silva both made runs from close range.

The attacking tactics are very simple, simpler than Guardiola's previous tactics, but they work!

"Shit!!"

Wenger cursed in English in anger, then looked curiously at Guardiola on the other side.

Before the match, a bunch of defensive counter-attacking tactics were arranged, including how to break Guardiola's passing and possession style and how to win the ball and disrupt passing in the backfield.

In the end, it was all for naught.

Wenger understood that Guardiola had been terrified of Lu Xiao in the past few years.

They have gradually given up their obsession with passing and possession.

I learned to be flexible.

As the weather gets colder, the elderly Wenger has already put on a slightly thicker training sweatshirt.

Guardiola, still dressed in a suit and tie, excitedly sprinted 20 meters to celebrate.

De Bruyne, who had been holding back his energy, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He glanced at Lu Xiao from afar and gave him a meaningful look, then turned and ran off to celebrate with his teammate Aguero, who had scored the goal.

"What does he mean?"

Big Gillu was a little annoyed and patted Lu Xiao on the shoulder.

"This guy is showing off."

"You two have a really good relationship."

The power of the "Belgian Twins" was something Giroud experienced firsthand at last year's European Championship, in the semi-final that eliminated France.

Giroud still remembers it vividly.

It's a good thing Lu Xiao didn't go to Manchester City, otherwise what chance would other teams have of winning the championship?

"What do we do now?"

Captain Koscielny and Vice-Captain Ramsey approached.

Both captains looked at Lu Xiao at the same time, as if Lu Xiao was the only real captain in the entire arena.

"Sorry, I hesitated just now."

Özil was even planning to apologize.

"Let's forget the past and think about how to turn things around."

"I'll give you possession of the ball, and I'll try to feed you more..."

Özil had just made the suggestion when Lu Xiao interrupted him.

"No, Mesut."

Lu Xiao looked at Özil calmly, his eyes showing no emotion.

Regardless of his character, regardless of how many fans in China like him or how many fans dislike him,

Lu Xiao had no feelings for him and simply regarded him as a colleague.

Since Wenger has put him on the field, everyone needs to work together to win.

Guardiola deployed a large number of defenders to defend himself, while leaving Özil open was also a strategy.

Why not make good use of the combined insight of [Jie Shiyi] and [Shi Shilin], transform into "Inzaghi of the Field", and try to break the deadlock with off-the-ball movement?

Özil has possession of the ball, and Arsenal won't be able to split their forces to surround him anytime soon.

He can calmly pass the ball.

Giroud was drawing the attention of the defenders up front.

Lu Xiao has ample room to maneuver, and any place could become the most threatening!

"Really?"

Özil was stunned; Lu Xiao had actually given up possession of the ball.

How could he trust me so much?

In comparison, Özil's own petty thoughts seem small-minded, and the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

Is this the kind of vision that the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history possesses?

"OK."

Özil was not a talkative person, but since Lu Xiao asked him to continue organizing, he did not refuse and nodded seriously.

Lu Xiao gave a few more brief instructions and quickly returned to his position to prepare for the kickoff.

"Arsenal's first-half goal was a big blow. Manchester City have never been overturned after taking the lead at home in the last two seasons."

Once they score, they can maintain control of the game with their powerful pressure, leaving their opponents feeling hopeless.

Zhan Jun's concerns are not unfounded.

Manchester City quickly adopted a high-pressing strategy, forcing Arsenal to launch long balls.

They then resumed their usual ball control approach, steadily applying pressure on Arsenal's penalty area.

"Wait, wait a little longer."

Arsenal looks to be in dire straits, and could concede a second goal at any moment.

Commentators and fans from various countries are all worried for Arsenal.

The only players on the field remained calm, showing no signs of anxiety, and occasionally glancing at Lu Xiao for his signals.

"Wait a little longer... now is the time!!"

When Lu Xiao saw that Manchester City was not content to remain idle and wanted to extend their lead before the end of the first half, he realized that Manchester City was not content to remain idle.

Almost everyone had pushed past the halfway line, leaving a huge gap in the back.

Lu Xiao knew that his opportunity had arrived!

He suddenly started his run, heading straight for defensive midfielder Fernandinho, but Fernandinho was not in possession of the ball.

De Bruyne controlled the ball and then passed it to David Silva.

I thought Silva would, as usual, hold onto the ball and pass it to the wing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't hold on today and stumbled when Xhaka's strong body rammed into him!

"David Silva is getting old!! Xhaka steals the ball!!"

"Arsenal have a counter-attack opportunity!!"

Everyone from Manchester City immediately rushed towards Lu Xiao to prevent the most dangerous player from getting the ball.

Özil is completely open on the left!

Xhaka passed the ball directly to Özil.

Özil received the ball but didn't pass it; he dribbled alone towards the Manchester City penalty area.

"Where are you all?! Defend!"

Manchester City didn't dare to be complacent, with a group of players still surrounding Lu Xiao, while only De Bruyne and Kyle Walker double-teamed Özil.

It seems that Özil has run out of ways to break through, and he's not a player known for his speed.

"Özil, things aren't going to get much better..."

Before Zhan Jun could even feel regret,

Özil suddenly kicked the ball, creating a clever arc!

"Girl?"

Everyone at Manchester City immediately thought of Giroud, as he was the only threatening player in the penalty area.

The next second, the football spun in the air and flew towards an empty spot at the far post of the penalty area.

The Manchester City players were still in a daze.

De Bruyne was horrified!

"This is bad!!"

Sure enough, Lu Xiao, who was originally surrounded by the crowd, suddenly appeared at the landing point!

Ghostly, elusive movement.

It made everyone in Manchester City's heart stop!

"God Lu!!!"

Amidst Zhan Jun's excited roar, Lu Xiao did not stop the ball.

A powerful shot with his left foot!

Robin van Persie template!

Template for 【Tsubasa Ozora】!

A powerful volley shot!

boom--

The football, like a shooting star, crashes fiercely into the net!

The impactful goal ignited passion worldwide!

"Goooooooal!!!"

"Lu Shen!! A world-class goal!!!"

"In the 42nd minute of the first half, less than five minutes after conceding a goal, Lu Xiao volleyed home to equalize the score!!"
