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

The Emirates Stadium, with a capacity of 6, was completely silent, especially the home team's stands which held nearly 5 people.

Arsenal players were equally frustrated.

Bad news, the defense made another mistake.

Good news: After experiencing three consecutive draws at the beginning of 2018, Arsenal players have become numb to the situation.

They were only tied by a last-minute equalizer; they're still undefeated!

How can it not be considered a win?

BBC commentator Gary Lineker, along with guests Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, exchanged bewildered glances.

Lineker couldn't help but laugh:

"I feel like I've seen this kind of plot before."

"Yes, it looks familiar to me too."

Gary Neville responded.

League Cup semi-final: Arsenal vs. Chelsea.

In the other venue, Manchester City drew a favorable match against Championship side Bristol City.

Manchester City thrashed their opponents 5-0, advancing to the semi-finals ahead of schedule.

Why was Arsenal so unlucky to draw Chelsea instead?

In conjunction with the playback of television footage,

Lineker, Gary Neville, and Carragher discussed and led the fans through a recap of today's match.

At this moment, Lu Xiao was already sitting off the field, sitting on the bench with his arms crossed, looking equally depressed.

"Lu, in theory, gave Arsenal a good start in the first half."

"That's right, less than 15 minutes into the game, Lu's long pass from the right flank tore open a gap, and Sanchez rushed in at the near post and scored a one-on-one goal."

Arsenal started strong, putting Chelsea under pressure for a time.

"The turning point came just before the end of the first half when Hazard's breakthroughs created too much pressure."

During Koscielny's months of injury recovery

Veteran defender Mertesacker was simply unable to defend against Hazard.

He conceded a penalty kick inside the box and also received a yellow card, which foreshadowed what would happen next.

"Yes, in the second half, it was Lu who performed well again, scoring two goals in a row."

First, in the 52nd minute, Lu beat the offside trap and cleverly chipped the ball over Courtois' head to score...

"He knows his Belgian teammates too well, and he knows that Courtois' attention is all on his feet, so he didn't have time to react when the ball suddenly hit his head."

"Then it was Lu again, who switched positions with Sanchez in the 65th minute and suddenly broke through from the left wing."

"Chelsea were careless and failed to stop Lu in time, allowing him to break into the penalty area and score into the top corner from a tight angle."

"That shot was so powerful, Courtois couldn't defend it at all."

"Wenger probably thought the 3-1 score was already secured, so he substituted Lu in the 80th minute. Hopefully, he can get some rest and prepare for the Premier League match this weekend."

"Who knew Hazard would suddenly explode in the final stages of the game, making two consecutive breakthroughs."

First, he assisted Pedro to score, making the score 3-2!

Then, in the 88th minute, they won another penalty in the penalty area!

"Yes, poor unlucky guy, it was Mertesacker again, sent off with a red card. Hazard took the penalty and scored, making it 3-3."

"Fortunately, the red card came relatively late, otherwise Chelsea would have had a chance to take the lead and win the game."

Lineker, Neville, and Carragher took turns reviewing the match.

The League Cup semi-final has been rescinded, with Arsenal held to a 3-3 draw at home by Chelsea.

In the two-legged tie, Chelsea have the advantage of away goals.

They've practically stepped into the League Cup final.

With Mertesacker suspended, Arsenal's defense is even more stretched.

After the match, reporters interviewed Chelsea star Eden Hazard, who had an outstanding performance today.

"Eden, why did you suddenly surge ahead in the final stages today? Is there a secret to it?"

Hazard smiled when asked a question by a reporter.

"This is all thanks to Lu."

"In the Belgian national team, Lu has told me many times that the closer to the end of a match, the more opportunities are likely to arise."

I will always try to score as long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle.

Lu was right, I did it.

It's not just killing someone, it's destroying their spirit!

Hazard, who had been suppressed by Lu Xiao for a long time, finally indulged in a little bit of mischievous fun and disgusted Lu Xiao.

Of course, back in the locker room, Hazard didn't forget to send Lu Xiao a text message.

……

"Damn it, that kid."

Lu Xiao was so angry he laughed; Hazard's text message was quite sincere.

Hazard: [Lu, I teased you a bit during the interview just now, I hope you don't mind.]

Hazard: [Of course, to lighten your load, Chelsea can take the League Cup. Arsenal can focus on winning the other titles.]

Lu Xiao quickly typed a sentence on the screen with both thumbs and sent it.

Soon, Hazard's phone rang on the other end.

Hazard picked it up with great interest.

LU: [Fuck off]

LU: [/middle finger.png]

Hazard shook his head with a wry smile:

"Lu is really friendly."

The Emirates Stadium home team locker room.

Arsenal players, who had just conceded a last-minute equalizer, were visibly frustrated, and the atmosphere in the locker room was somewhat chilly.

Wenger walked into the locker room,

I couldn't help but wrap my down jacket tighter around myself.

"There's no time to reminisce about the match now; we'll do a thorough review when we get back."

"At least for now, forget about what just happened. I want you all to focus on the upcoming Premier League matches!"

"If we concede another last-minute equalizer, all of you except Lu will be relegated to the reserves for a period of reflection! I mean what I say!"

Wenger's stern tone silenced everyone at Arsenal.

The well-mannered professor was pushed to his limit.

Everyone present, except Lu Xiao, has a responsibility.

Of course, Lu Xiao himself felt that he hadn't done a good job either.

If we had scored a few more goals, wouldn't we have avoided being tied by Chelsea?

……

Three days later, the 23rd round of the Premier League.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal

Poor Bournemouth, they have no idea why Lu Xiao is so active today.

All they knew was that they were going to suffer.

"Ten minutes into the first half, Arsenal launched a very strong attack!"

Bournemouth, the home team, hope to contain Arsenal with a defensive wall!

"In another match, Manchester City had already finished their game early, with De Bruyne scoring a hat-trick to help them defeat Newcastle 3-0!"

Manchester City, having played one more game, are currently tied with Arsenal on 63 points, but temporarily lead the Premier League table on goal difference!

"If Arsenal hadn't beaten Bournemouth today, Manchester City would probably have climbed to the top of the table!"

Arsenal fans watching on television were all on edge.

What was bound to happen has happened.

No matter how much of a lead they have at the start of each season, they are always caught up by teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Taking back the top spot will be an incredibly difficult task.

"Could it be...?"

Just when Arsenal fans were about to despair,

Lu Xiao disagreed!

"Look at this ball!!! Welbeck delivered a cross from the left wing!!"

"Lu!!! Control the ball with the outside of your foot and turn in one smooth motion!!"

"A volley shot!!"

"Beautiful!!! A world-class goal from the top of the key!!!"

Arsenal are leading by one goal!

"...Arsenal, who just scored, are on fire! They've intercepted the ball in their own half!! Quick counter-attack!!"

"Welbeck, Lu, Ramsey, Lu!!!"

"Shoot directly at a small angle!!"

"OHHHHHH!!! Lu Xiao scored two goals in just one minute!!"

"2-0! Arsenal lead 2-0!!"

"...With five minutes left in the first half, Bournemouth is having a real headache dealing with Arsenal's attacks!!"

"Lu is so active today!! Trying to change direction in front of the penalty area..."

"Beautiful!! Marseille turn!! A very skillful maneuver!!"

"Foul!! Foul!! Bournemouth defender commits a foul in the penalty area! Lue gives Arsenal a penalty!"

"Lu Xiao took the penalty kick he had won himself... He didn't even step back to give himself a run-up; he just stood there at the penalty spot!"

"A direct shot from the spot? I've never seen such a daring penalty kick!!"

When all of England and the world's Premier League fans were focused on Lu Xiao

The referee blew his whistle.

Lu Xiao swung his leg from the spot and unleashed a stunning penalty kick!

Even if the Bournemouth goalkeeper guessed the right direction, he couldn't stop it!

[Hyuga Kojiro] [Ozora Tsubasa] [Ronaldinho]...

The souls of multiple virtual and real-life football stars merged perfectly in this moment!

Lu Xiao delivered a penalty kick at an unsolvable angle, and the lightning-fast ball hurtled into the top corner!

"3-0!!! Hat trick!!"

"Lu Xiao!! Completes a hat trick in the first half!!"

"Whenever Arsenal is in a deadlock, they're on the verge of collapse..."

"He will always be this Chinese man, always Lu, who, with unwavering gaze, shouted at fate: No!!"

"Never!!"

"We, Arsenal, are invincible!"
