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

The longest winning streak in the top five European leagues

Manchester City achieved an 18-game winning streak across seasons in the 2018-2019 season.

Bayern Munich were invincible in 2020 and 2021, creating a crazy 19-game winning streak and winning six titles.

Then there's Paris Saint-Germain's 16-game winning streak across seasons in Ligue 1, and Juventus' 17-game winning streak last season.

Lu Xiao originally thought that these winning streaks would be difficult to break.

The team needs favorable timing, location, and personnel, a deep bench, high morale, and a sufficiently strong defense.

A winning streak can only be created when all the necessary factors are in place.

Arsenal currently has both very obvious strengths and weaknesses.

The advantage is that the attacking flow is very smooth, even against giants like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Their counter-attacks proved too much for their defense to handle.

With Lu Xiao leading the attack, and a top-class attacking group in the Premier League, they are capable of tearing apart any defense.

Its weakness is also obvious: defense.

Even with the change from a 3-defender formation to a 4-defender system, this defense is still not among the top in the Premier League.

Arsenal has always been known for its technical style and attacking approach.

Arsenal will not be known for their defense until around 2025.

As a result, Lu Xiao never expected that the record would be set so easily.

In the 18th round of the Premier League, Arsenal easily defeated Newcastle 2-0 at home.

Lu Xiao's seemingly unremarkable ball control and shot inside the penalty area helped his team break the deadlock and score his 33rd goal.

In 18 rounds of the Premier League, Lu Xiao played 17 games and scored 33 goals.

Although the average number of goals per game has finally fallen below 2.

Nobody cares about this anymore.

33 goals in the first half of the season is enough to make Lu Xiao a star in the Premier League.

……

Three days later, West Ham United will face off in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Captain and midfield maestro Mark Nobel has been given an additional ban by the FA, with a three-match suspension each for the league, league cup, and FA cup.

Therefore, West Ham's fighting strength is not as good as before.

Even with Lu Xiao resting on the sidelines, Arsenal still easily defeated West Ham United 1-0 and advanced to the League Cup semi-finals.

Welbeck, who scored the goal, is usually a man of few words.

However, he was still very excited during the interview.

"This season, we have a chance to win the championship, and we have achieved good results in multiple competitions."

Lu's addition to the team has boosted the team's confidence.

I hope to contribute to the team even while Lu is resting.

Danny Welbeck, once a utility striker under Sir Alex Ferguson, is now gradually taking on the shape of Arsenal.

Even though he was a fringe player at Arsenal, always playing as Giroud's substitute.

But Lu Xiao really gave him a lot of guidance.

The unique shooting techniques he learned from Lu Xiao helped Welbeck improve his shooting touch.

Welbeck's attitude towards Lu Xiao has changed from that of a teammate to that of a believer!

There are quite a few such "Lumen believers"

For example, Bukayo Saka, Saul, Koke, Januzaj, De Bruyne...

Lu Xiao himself had no idea how much his teammates admired him.

Lu Xiao's only goal now is to score as many points as possible.

So that if Arsenal collapses, they will have enough confidence to remain in the title race.

……

Premier League Round 19, two days before Christmas.

Crystal Palace 2-3 Arsenal

In the London derby, Crystal Palace posed a huge challenge to Arsenal's defense.

Crystal Palace led 2-1 for 87 minutes!

Arsenal are not only ending their winning streak, but are also about to suffer their first defeat of the season.

Following Orange's thoughts,

Lu Xiao disagrees!

"Lu Xiao!!! A sudden attack in front of the penalty area!!!"

"World wave!!!"

"Tie the score!!!"

"Arsenal saved the day in their most critical moment just before the end of the match!!"

"Faced with the Crystal Palace's impenetrable defenses, unleash the heavy artillery and blast open the city!"

"2-2!!! Arsenal's winning streak may have ended at 18 games, but at least they've escaped with a point away from home!"

"...4 minutes of stoppage time, 3 minutes have already passed, Crystal Palace has completely given up on attacking and the whole team has retreated into the penalty area."

"Arsenal kept passing the ball around on the outside, but couldn't find a way to break through."

"Crystal Palace did a great job, not giving any chances to foul in front of the penalty area and not allowing Lu Xiao to take a free kick."

"The referee is already checking his watch..."

By this point in the game, almost all the fans had given up.

Arsenal fans simply don't ask for too much.

The 18-game winning streak has already broken the new record. It's not the end of the world that we've dropped points for the first time this Premier League season.

Manchester City, in second place, are struggling to catch up, trailing by seven points.

Losing 2 points means the difference is at most 5 points, so the advantage is still significant.

Just as Zhan Jun was about to say a few words in defense of Arsenal,

Since Chamberlain, who came on as a substitute, couldn't find a way to break through on the right, he simply passed the ball back to Lu Xiao through the middle.

Lu Xiao received the ball in a relatively far position in the middle, posing little threat for the time being. Crystal Palace dared not press too closely, fearing they might draw a foul on Lu Xiao.

A seemingly harmless cross pass,

Lu Xiao suddenly used the inside of his left foot to curl the ball in an arc, simultaneously turning to get around the defender!

"That shot!!! Bergkamp, ​​the Ice Prince!!"

Zhan Jun's eyes lit up!

Lu Xiao paid homage to Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp by using the exact same move to shake off his defender!

Chaos erupted suddenly in front of the Crystal Palace penalty area!

"Lu Xiao!! Still dribbling!! A nutmeg!! Beautiful!! He's beaten two players!! He's broken into the penalty area!!"

Not to mention Zhan Jun, everyone was stunned.

Lu Xiao somehow found a bizarre angle, and a ball shot through the center of the bowl, connecting the two men's groins.

Use your body to nimbly bypass your opponent and strike from behind!

Crystal Palace's defensive midfielder and center-back turned at the same time, but by the time they countered Lu Xiao, he had already gained the upper hand and squeezed into the penalty area!

At this point, Lu Xiao's muscle strength was sufficient to contend with tall center-backs in the Premier League, and he firmly held his position with his hands.

At the same time, observe the goalkeeper's position, suddenly burst out, and strike the ball at a tight angle!

[Powerful Shot]!!

boom--

The football transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot straight to the top corner!

The goalkeeper was helpless!

"A decisive blow!! A decisive blow!!!"

"Lu Xiao scored twice in the final minutes, helping Arsenal take the lead! A last-minute winner!!"

"19-game winning streak!! Lu Xiao breaks the record again!!"

"The longest winning streak in a single season in the top five European leagues! 19 consecutive wins!!"

"At the same time, Lu Xiao broke his own 20-year-old personal goal record!! 35 personal goals!"

Alan Shearer's record of 34 goals was achieved over an entire season, in 38 games!

Lu Xiao scored 35 goals in just 19 games!! Half a season!

Crazy!

After Lu Xiao scored, Alan Shearer himself congratulated Lu Xiao on Twitter.

"I saw a miraculous young man. Records mean nothing to him because he has reached another level!"

There are only two kinds of players in the world: ordinary players and regular players.

The other is Lu Xiao.

……

"Look, look! Your son's on the evening news again!"

Munich, Germany.

In the Chinese restaurant, the television was broadcasting CCTV-1's news program, relayed from CCTV's overseas channel.

With perfect Mandarin and a joyful smile, anchor Kang Hui delivered this exciting news report.

"...In yesterday's English Premier League Round 19 match, Chinese player Lu Xiao's Arsenal team came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 3-2 away from home."

With Lu Xiao scoring two late goals to seal the victory, Arsenal secured their 19th consecutive league win, breaking the record for the longest winning streak in a single season in Europe's top five leagues.

Lu Xiao has scored 35 goals in 19 league appearances this season, breaking the single-season personal goal record set by England football legend Alan Shearer.

Lu Xiao's outstanding performance in international football competitions over the past two years has further stimulated the development of domestic football. According to statistics from sports authorities, the number of newly built social football fields nationwide has increased by 23% year-on-year, more than 10 provinces and cities across the country have launched amateur football leagues simultaneously, the number of participants in youth football training camps has reached a record high, and mass football activities continue to develop positively…
