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

March 6, 2018, Premier League Round 29.

Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

The Seagull Legion, which has emerged in recent years, is quite remarkable.

They played very tenaciously at home, putting immense pressure on Arsenal's reserve squad.

Arsenal need to conserve their energy for the match against Bayern Munich.

Today, the entire bench was used.

Fortunately, the morale boost from just defeating Manchester City is a welcome one.

This motivated the players on the field to keep up.

After being sidelined for several games, Özil delivered a brilliant assist.

He helped Welbeck score the only goal.

Arsenal still lead Manchester City by 6 points!

……

Emirates Stadium.

March 8, UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg.

In the 68th minute of the second half,

The score remains 0-0 with no goals scored.

Arsenal are certainly not in a hurry.

Lu Xiao played the strict father role at the Allianz Arena, 1-3!

Three away goals advantage!

Bayern Munich will win 2-0 as long as they don't score 3 goals.

With the aggregate score tied at 3-3, Arsenal still wins.

Wenger simply decided not to take any risks and opted for a defensive counter-attacking formation at home.

4-3-3!

Lu Xiao, Sanchez, and Mkhitaryan formed a trident, with Lu Xiao playing as the center forward.

Ramsey, Xhaka, and Coquelin formed a tight defensive midfield trio.

Heynckes' Bayern Munich has no way to deal with Arsenal!

"Bayern still control the ball, leading Arsenal in both possession and shots on goal."

But they have a hard time breaking through Arsenal's defense.

Arsenal is known for its fluid and elegant attacking style.

The defense at the beginning of this season also seemed to be conservative and criticized.

But recently, Arsenal's defense has clearly shown signs of improvement.

"That's right, to be precise, Wenger found Lu Xiao's user manual."

Taking advantage of the relatively calm situation on the field,

CCTV5 commentator Xu Yang simply explained the tactics to the fans.

"I previously played for Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid."

Lu Xiao can play as a winger, striker, or attacking midfielder.

He rarely participates in the attack, and his position is almost always near the penalty area.

This is indeed very threatening, but it also means losing some depth.

"Now, Lu Xiao, you can see this ball..."

As Xu Yang was speaking, Lu Xiao seemed to be giving him face.

He actually appeared right in front of his own penalty area!

In coordination with Xhaka, they intercepted Thiago's deadly pass.

This resulted in Lewandowski running in vain and wasting his energy.

Otherwise, if Lewandowski receives the ball and shoots from close range, even a miracle wouldn't save him.

After making the interception, Lu Xiao took on the role of defensive midfielder.

A long pass from the backfield found Mkhitaryan.

At the same time, he sprinted forward, received a back pass from Mkhitaryan, and made a through pass to the left flank.

Sanchez's shot was saved by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Ulreich.

Arsenal's dangerous counter-attack was finally brought to an end.

From intercepting the ball to launching a counter-attack

It only took 9 seconds!

Lu Xiao was deeply involved in the entire offensive process!

"Yes, Lu Xiao's deep-lying striker position gave Arsenal a lot of tactical options."

This is probably one of the reasons for their recent surge in performance.

He Wei couldn't help but get excited again.

Seeing a Chinese player play a key role in the Champions League knockout stage,

He almost burst into tears.

……

"This guy can't understand it anymore."

Thomas Müller, watching Lu Xiao running back and forth on the field, suddenly felt that this young man was a stranger.

In Thomas Müller's memory,

Lu Xiao was just a quiet kid from Bayern Munich's youth academy.

He trains hard and diligently, but he doesn't have much talent.

Just after seeing Lu Xiao make a interception in midfield...

He dribbled past teammate Martinez with a fancy footwork move, then spun around and nutmegged Boateng.

A shot was saved by the goalkeeper, almost resulting in a goal.

Arsenal had just taken a corner kick when...

Lu Xiao was right at the edge of the penalty area line.

He scorpion-tailed the ball to the other side, bypassing Boateng and Martinez's attack, and unleashed a world-class volley with his right foot.

"Gooooooooooal!!!"

"Goal scorer, Arsenal's number 10!"

"Luuuuu Shaaaawwww——"

Hearing tens of thousands of people at the Emirates Stadium chanting Lu Xiao's name in unison...

Thomas Muller was really a bit dazed.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, I am no longer young, and Messi and Ronaldo are gradually growing old.

A new era is dawning, and Lu Xiao is about to ascend the GOAT throne!

There is no such thing as "the two peerless heroes".

Only Lu Xiao shone brightly!

"Yes, times have changed."

Thomas Müller's former teammate and Bayern captain Philipp Lahm seemed to understand his sentiments.

He also let out a long sigh, filled with melancholy.

The match has ended.

Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 thanks to a goal from Lu Xiao.

Advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-1 aggregate score!

"Arsenal have finally broken their winless streak against Bayern Munich! For the first time since the Champions League format change, they have defeated and eliminated Bayern Munich in the knockout stages!"

Arsenal, competing on four fronts

They have already won one League Cup title.

Ranked 1st in the Premier League and reached the Champions League quarterfinals.

They've also reached the FA Cup quarterfinals!

A bold idea suddenly popped into He Wei's mind!

Could it be...

However, He Wei dared not continue speaking, for fear of ruining Arsenal's good momentum.

You can't even think about it; thinking about it is a sin.

He Wei could only silently wish Lu Xiao well, hoping that this amazing young man...

It can create an unprecedented record.

"Is it possible?"

……

"The results of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals were announced last night, Beijing time!"

"This draw will no longer follow the avoidance principle; theoretically, any team has a chance to be drawn against another!"

Here are the Champions League quarter-final matchups!

"The Premier League has been rigged by UEFA again!"

Why is it always the Premier League that's being targeted?

"Look at the great draws Real Madrid and Barcelona got, then look at the Premier League teams!"

The draw results have been announced, and not only are domestic Premier League fans protesting the unfairness,

Even foreign netizens found it strange.

Even though Platini has stepped down, why are they still protecting La Liga?

Arsenal and Manchester United, the only all-Chinese match among the quarter-finalists.

This season, under Mourinho's leadership, Manchester United has experienced a resurgence.

Currently ranked third in the Premier League, behind only Arsenal and Manchester City.

This is after Ferguson retired.

Manchester United's best result to date.

They might have a chance to make waves in the Champions League again.

Join Arsenal and Manchester City in advancing to the Champions League semi-finals.

Unfortunately, UEFA could not stand by and watch this happen.

We absolutely have to take down a Premier League team!

After Arsenal eliminated Bayern Munich

The Champions League landscape has now become Premier League vs. La Liga!

Teams like Porto, Juventus, and Roma are just there to make up the numbers.

Only Manchester City and Arsenal are the most competitive.

Mourinho quickly responded with his acceptance speech in the media.

"Yes, we've been set up."

"Arsenal are invincible."

"Lu is invincible."

???

Feeding? Is this Mourinho?

Is this the same Mourinho who was in high spirits in the Premier League and proclaimed himself "The Special One," the chosen one?

Compared to the Champions League draw,

Mourinho's interview with Lu Xiao instantly sparked a public outcry.

Lu Xiao was stunned when she was scrolling through her phone.

"What is he up to? Typical Mourinho."
