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

In fact, when Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City and advanced to the Champions League final.

Arsenal fans are cheering.

Lu Xiao's individual fans, in particular, were the most excited.

Due to some historical reasons from last season,

Lu Xiao's Atletico Madrid team was surprisingly eliminated.

Ultimately, this led Real Madrid to the final victory, successfully winning the 2016-2017 Champions League title.

This is the team's 10th Champions League title, a full 3 years later than the original timeline!

For almost the entire summer, Real Madrid fans mocked Lu Xiao.

They've revived their old ways and are now comparing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lu Xiao again.

"The reason Ronaldo is the best in the world is because he can play until he's 40! As for Luis Scola, he's just a shooting star, not worthy of comparison with Ronaldo."

"My number one will always be Zidane. If I had to choose an active player, it would definitely be Cristiano. Luis is really no good; Asians just don't know how to play football!"

Time will prove that Cristiano Ronaldo is the true GOAT!

Of course, these remarks only appeared frequently in the summer of 2017.

Real Madrid were at their most rampant after winning the title.

After Lu Xiao transferred to Arsenal, he once again dominated the Premier League with 50+ goals.

With Arsenal having gone without a title for many years,

They won all the domestic championships.

League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League...

With their aggressive momentum, they stormed into the final, facing Real Madrid, poised to make history as the greatest team to achieve a Grand Slam in Premier League history, and also the greatest Grand Slam in football history...

At this point, Real Madrid fans were no longer so arrogant.

There are quite a few who are stubborn.

"Fk C****os!"

"Get out of European football"

"Arsenal is definitely out of the running, Real Madrid will win back-to-back titles!"

Any remarks involving racial discrimination are immediately attacked by tens of thousands of Chinese netizens.

With its limited vocabulary of insults, how could Spanish possibly compete with Chinese netizens?

In an instant, even this person's ancestors for eighteen generations were cursed, and he simply deleted his account and quit the internet.

……

Besides the magical exchanges between netizens, football media from various countries are also focusing on the Champions League final.

Soon after, Spanish media interviewed Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.

"Mr. Zidane, Real Madrid is only ranked 3rd in La Liga this season, with 76 points, the lowest in the club's history."

The competition for both the league title and the Copa del Rey title ended in disappointing results.

So, did the team set its strategic goal from the beginning by defending its Champions League title?

This is a reporter for AS, and also a mouthpiece for Real Madrid.

The fact that Catalans have accumulated a lot of league points, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, is disgusting to Real Madrid fans.

Even Atletico Madrid is second in the league, Real Madrid is so weak!

Their performance in the Champions League was quite good, reaching the final and having a chance to win the title.

And there is a chance to break the curse of the Champions League after its format change.

They became the first team to defend their Champions League title.

If that's the case,

Real Madrid's league defeats can be forgiven, but their Champions League title is the ultimate achievement.

No problem.

The AS reporter asked this question to give Zidane a way out, a convenient excuse to admit that it was a club target.

This way, defeats within the league can be covered up.

But Zidane, the bald man, didn't respond.

Instead, he stiffened his neck and said calmly:

"No, my goal at Real Madrid has never changed; it has always been to win all the titles."

"I admit that the players did not perform well in the Copa del Rey and La Liga, and my coaching also had problems."

"Therefore, I need to take some time to reflect. After this Champions League final, regardless of the outcome, I will not continue coaching."

The AS reporter was stunned, staring blankly at Zidane.

Zidane, who said these words, maintained an arrogant expression, just like the midfield maestro who once amazed the world.

How did asking a routine question turn into such a bombshell?

The reporter had no choice but to tearfully publish Zidane's words verbatim on the front page of AS.

The news spread throughout Europe in a very short time.

With only two days until the start of the Champions League, the entire Arsenal team had already completed their training session at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium to familiarize themselves with the pitch.

And they are already at full preparation level.

Wenger and Lu Xiao were still having dinner at the hotel restaurant when Lu Xiao suddenly laughed while scrolling through his phone.

The professor leaned closer to take a look out of curiosity and gave a meaningful smile.

"Lu, guess what he meant?"

"Perhaps his dismissal was something he had planned all along, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to boost Real Madrid's morale."

Lu Xiao replied without hesitation.

Wenger nodded, looking at Lu Xiao with increasing appreciation.

This kid not only has amazing tactical talent on the field,

Even off the field, he's like a seasoned veteran of the football world.

He saw right through Zidane's intentions.

In the domestic context, this is equivalent to "a desperate army is bound to win".

Once the Zidane dismissal controversy was stirred up,

It will not affect Real Madrid's fighting strength.

On the contrary, it could ignite Real Madrid's desire to win, hoping to give Zidane a Champions League title before he is sacked.

Otherwise, you'll end the class with nothing to show for it, and all your efforts will be wasted.

This is so awkward, it doesn't match Zidane's status.

"in other words……"

Lu Xiao finished his Americano and chuckled:

"Zidane is scared."

"That's right. Just as I thought."

Wenger nodded.

He knew that Lu Xiao would definitely become an outstanding captain and an excellent coach in the future.

Not just football tactics,

Managing the team's mentality and off-field interactions are also part of the coach's job.

Wenger then gave an interview to the BBC.

During the interview, Wenger was in high spirits, as if he had returned to May of 2006.

Under Henry's leadership, Arsenal were in high spirits and once had a chance to upset the "Dream Team II" Barcelona and win their first Champions League title.

Wenger was indeed at the peak of his career at that time.

I never imagined that I would be in such a state for 12 years.

Now, once again, they stand on the Champions League final stage.

It turns out they were led by a 20-year-old kid, and a Chinese guy at that?

Wenger never expected this.

"Mr. Wenger, do you still have any regrets about the 2006 Champions League final? If it weren't for that red card,..."

Will Arsenal win the title?

"No, everything, including red cards, is part of football."

There are regrets, but more importantly, it's because we lack the strength.

I must admit that.

Wenger has completely calmed down. The pain that kept him up all night back then can now be talked about with a smile.

"So, this time, we're back on the Champions League final stage."

I believe we are ready.

This Arsenal team is capable of beating any team.

The BBC reporter's attempt to trap Wenger backfired, and he continued to make things difficult for him:

"Is it Lu who gives you this confidence? If he doesn't perform well in the final, or if the team relies too much on Lu and their tactics are controlled by Real Madrid, then..."

Do you think Arsenal can still win the title?

Wenger had no doubts about Lu Xiao whatsoever!

What about the so-called "Lu Xiao dependency" mentioned by the English media?

Arsenal has a "Lu Xiao dependency syndrome"!

What's wrong?

Wenger openly admitted it!

This is nothing to be ashamed of!

Did Barcelona not have a "Messi dependency" at some point?

Did Barcelona back then not have a "Ronaldinho dependency"?

Does Milan not have a "Kaka dependency"?

Any star player, a top-tier player, who can disrupt the balance, will cause the entire team's tactics to shift.

If, in an effort to overcome the so-called "dependency," this player is neglected,

That's truly foolish!

I've become dependent on Lu Xiao.

Because he is someone the entire Arsenal team can rely on!

Wenger's words were resounding and powerful.

"I believe this will be a fantastic Champions League final!"

"Because I believe that Lu will always be able to create miracles!"
