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

English League Cup, Round 4.

Arsenal vs Norwich

With the score tied 1-1 and the time running out in the 88th minute, it was almost the end of the 90 minutes, so the game went straight to penalties.

Arsenal players are still a bit panicked.

The first-team regulars are busy competing in both the Champions League and the Premier League.

The League Cup needs to be handled by the reserve and rotation squad.

Therefore, at the age of 16, Bukayo Saka successfully made his first-team debut as a substitute for Arsenal.

The competition has entered a heated phase.

Norwich adopted a defensive formation, and Arsenal's attacks from the outside were ineffective.

The team has already been forced to make three substitutions, and it's not even 2020 yet, so there are only three slots available for now.

Moreover, Lu Xiao himself wasn't even on the roster, and the team can't rely on him to be the savior for every game.

Today I have to face it all by myself.

As a 16-year-old, Saka doesn't have many offensive tasks for the time being. He spends most of his time on the right side, leaving the left side to Sanchez, who just came on, to attack.

Sanchez has been playing continuously recently, and his physical condition is limited. He has not yet found a solution.

Saka was already lost in thought, recalling the English media's assessment of him.

"His playing style is very simple, even a bit mediocre. He relies entirely on his physical attributes and rhythm changes to beat opponents."

He doesn't seem to have much talent, and I doubt he'll be able to establish himself in Arsenal's first team.

I thought I would be able to become teammates with my idol Lu Xiao and fight side by side on the field.

Lu Xiao's story of debuting at Bayer Leverkusen at the age of 16

He is already well-known to the vast majority of young players in Europe.

Everyone who faces adversity hopes to become famous overnight, just like Lu Xiao.

"Lu, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?"

With stoppage time approaching and Arsenal unable to break the deadlock, they risked elimination in a penalty shootout.

In desperation, Saka had no choice but to ask the god Lu Xiao for help.

He carefully recalled Lu Xiao's actions during the match and on the training field.

Try to imitate Lu Xiao's unpredictable movement.

"Bukayo, remember, broaden your vision on the field, observe everyone's positioning when you have time, and stay calm! Try to understand their thinking..."

"Playing football is all about running. No matter how tired you are, grit your teeth and keep running, Bukayo!"

Lu Xiao's words still echoed in my ears.

Sarah's legs felt like lead, but he gritted his teeth and darted left and right, seemingly doing some meaningless running.

Norwich's defenders were so annoyed by him that they almost didn't want to talk to Saka anymore.

Arsenal's Sanchez poses a greater threat on the left flank, so the defensive focus is almost entirely on the other side.

"Stop him!!"

"Focus! Focus!"

"Here!! Fill in the gap!!"

"Pass the ball!! To me!!"

The chaotic shouts and cheers on the field rose and fell.

If it were any other young player, they would have been lost in the crowd and wouldn't know what to do.

Following Lu Xiao's advice, Saka took a deep breath and tried to calm down, and instead found an opening in his opponent's right side.

But he didn't dare raise his hand to reveal his intentions, so he could only silently move around and try to wait for an opportunity.

Can Sanchez pass the ball?

If it were Lu, he would definitely be wearing it...

Just as Saka was thinking this, Sanchez, the big man on the other side, did a bicycle kick and broke into the penalty area, making Norwich's formation tense.

Suddenly, a wide-ranging pass was made, and the ball was quickly moved from the left to the right!

"They're here!!"

Saka just started his run and received the ball near the sideline.

Suddenly, the fancy ball-stopping technique that Lu Xiao had demonstrated flashed through my mind.

With a gentle lift of the right foot, the outside of the foot deftly taps the ball over the top!

The person cuts forward at high speed from the left!

In the blink of an eye, he dribbled past the defender and completed the breakthrough!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

Saka felt his whole body trembling, but he tried his best to remain calm and dribbled the ball in as Lu Xiao had taught him.

"Just like in training!"

Regular extra training has greatly improved Saka's ball control.

He skillfully dribbled past the opposing defender, changed direction, and shot directly with his left foot!

"Brillant!!"

Wenger's eyes lit up.

The one-on-one tutoring is working well; he instructed Lu Xiao to give Saka more guidance.

The breakthrough and forward run strategy, as well as the details of the technical movements, were indeed reminiscent of Lu Xiao!

The football arced beautifully, curling into the far corner from a tight angle!

"Gooooooal!!!"

"Saka!!!"

I scored?

Saka's mind went blank, and a strong sense of excitement filled his entire body.

He instinctively rushed towards his own coach's bench.

"Not bad, young man, you know how to be grateful to your master."

Wenger thought Saka had come to celebrate with him and was ready to open his arms to welcome Saka.

Unexpectedly, the young black man excitedly rushed past him and ran towards the stands behind him.

It turned out that Lu Xiao happened to be in the stands. Saka jumped onto the GG sign and excitedly high-fived Lu Xiao in celebration.

"Lu, did you see that? I did it!!"

"Well done, bro!"

After arriving at Arsenal, Lu Xiao maintained his previous unwavering habits.

I'm practicing extra every day.

Saka, Xhaka, Sanchez, Welbeck, Giroud... many Arsenal stars responded to the call and joined in the extra training.

While Saka may not possess the same level of natural talent as rising stars like Mount, Foden, and Mbappe,

But Lu Xiao saw all his efforts.

With his help, it seems like we really have a chance to succeed on multiple fronts this season!

2-1 win against Norwich in the League Cup

This means there are only four matches left: the quarterfinals, the two-legged semifinals, and the final.

If they can win a championship early next year, it will at least greatly boost morale and prevent Arsenal from collapsing in the spring.

It seems that my extra daily training sessions with Saka over the past few months have paid off.

Lu Xiao really went to great lengths for this lousy team.

"I'm only 20 years old..."

……

Arsenal's 2-1 League Cup victory over Norwich keeps the team's morale at its peak.

In the 14th round of the Premier League, before the big match against Manchester United, Arsenal played away against Huddersfield Town, a newly promoted team.

Lu Xiao started the match.

90 minutes later...

"Beautiful!!! Another goal!! Lu Shen, a free kick with a perfect curling shot goes in!! A brace!!"

"14 rounds of matches, 29 goals! Maintaining an astonishing efficiency of over 2 goals per game!"

5-0!

Arsenal secured a resounding away victory against Huddersfield!

Lu Xiao contributed two assists in the first half and scored two goals himself in the second half, and participated in one attack.

Four out of the five goals were directly related to Lu Xiao!

José Mourinho and his coaching staff watched the entire match from their television sets.

Commentator Jim Beglin's excited voice made Mourinho's face turn ashen.

29 goals in 14 games?

Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi weren't this crazy back then!

"This kid, has God really possessed him?"

Mourinho has begun to question the meaning of life.

After the previous match, Mourinho boasted to the media that Manchester United had a chance to neutralize Lu Xiao.

After watching today's game, Mourinho really doesn't know how to defend against this Chinese player.

Back then, he was able to lead Inter Milan to neutralize Messi.

Mourinho is now leading Manchester United, but he is helpless!

"Damn it!"

Mourinho cursed under his breath.

I could even feel a few more gray hairs growing on the top of my head.

Manchester United, the Red Devils, are determined to win the title, and José Mourinho, the world-renowned manager who is determined to lead Manchester United to a revival.

You are about to face a terrifyingly powerful demon king!

"This is a football, but it feels more like a table tennis game?"

"Damn it!"
