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

"Japan takes the corner kick!"

"Courtois!"

"Go straight for the high-altitude ball!"

"A quick attack launched with a throw! Five Belgian players have already reached the opponent's half!"

"Witsel, pass to De Bruyne on the right wing!!!"

"Cross! Lukaku lets it through!!"

"Lu Xiao—"

"In the 94th minute, Lu Xiao scored the decisive goal! Belgium completed a 3-2 comeback victory!"

"Belgium was down 0-2 at one point, but with Lu Xiao's introduction, they pulled off a miracle at the last minute!"

"From the moment Japan took the corner kick to the start of the counter-attack, only 14 seconds elapsed!"

"Three goals, a hat-trick! Lu Xiao never works overtime in his career! He refuses extra time! He wants to finish the game in regulation time!"

"Chinese players have successfully advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals!"

……

Nighttime, in a hotel room at the training camp resort.

Because of Lu Xiao's special status, he was granted a fairly comfortable single suite, no longer needing to share a room with De Bruyne, Hazard, and others.

Right now, I'm having my usual video call with Chloe.

Lu Xiao was always worried that after the two of them entered into a romantic relationship, they might get tired of each other over time.

Or, if you're in a long-distance relationship, problems will inevitably arise.

Fortunately, none of the things Lu Xiao was worried about happened.

Although Chloe is not by his side most of the time, it feels like she is always with him.

Most importantly, she didn't have that "suffocating" feeling you get from online girlfriends.

She is very considerate of Lu Xiao and knows how to give Lu Xiao personal space.

Every time we video chat, even if we just stay online without saying anything,

Lu Xiao works out on his own, while Chloe studies at her desk. Both of them feel very fulfilled, having each other's presence in their lives.

During the World Cup, Chloe also came to Ukraine to watch the games.

Unfortunately, the Belgian team's strict management system prohibits players from going out for excessive leisure activities.

The two can only share the little things in their lives through video.

If Chloe were a sports journalist, she would be incredibly lucky. Lu Xiao often shares interesting stories from the training field, all of which are exclusive and bombshell revelations.

Luckily, she's not a blabbermouth.

"Are you still watching the game highlights?"

Lu Xiao noticed that the TV in Chloe Hotel room was playing highlights of Belgium's 3-2 victory over Japan.

Three days have passed since the match, and Belgium is about to face one of the favorites to win the championship!

Five-star Brazil!

Chloe still vividly remembers that game, even watching the highlights on CCTV5.

"Because you were especially handsome in that scene."

That's Chloe for you; she always praises herself for no reason.

This made Lu Xiao want to rush over and hug her and give her a good kiss.

"Okay, you should go to sleep early. I'll be in the stands again tomorrow."

"Then watch my performance!"

……

Kazan Stadium.

Facing the Brazilian team in their classic yellow jerseys and blue shorts,

The Belgian players have a very stable mentality.

But the fans were somewhat apprehensive.

Especially those who haven't watched football for a long time still believe that the Brazilian team is the strongest.

"What do we do? We can't beat Brazil, can we?"

"Yes, this is going to be difficult. Can Lu Shen handle it?"

"Neymar is very strong too."

Lu Xiao's die-hard fans couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up to explain the facts.

"As we all know, in the last World Cup, Brazil was thrashed 7-1 by Germany. What made them so strong?"

"Brazil is not the Brazil it used to be, so why should we be afraid of them?"

"Neymar? Can he compare to me, Lukaku?"

"A sure bet on Belgium, a sure way to make money, and if you lose, it's on me."

Even if you don't believe in Belgium, you should still believe in Lu Shen!

Amidst the fans' enthusiastic discussion, the match officially began!

The Brazilian team looks to be a formidable force.

Goalkeeper Alisson

Led by defenders Thiago Silva and Marcelo,

The midfield consists of Fernandinho, Paulinho, and Coutinho.

The forward line also includes Jesus, Willian, and Neymar.

Once a junior member of the Brazilian national team, Neymar is now the core of the team.

He was so badly beaten by Lu Xiao when he was at Barcelona that he questioned his existence.

I finally caught my breath after running all the way to Paris Saint-Germain.

Unexpectedly, I still ran into Lu Xiao.

For the Belgian team,

After recovering his health, Lu Xiao made his first appearance, joining Hazard, De Bruyne, and others to form a golden generation.

"Today is a huge test for Belgium."

Brazil often displays its strength in the World Cup.

Neymar!! Breakthrough on the left, take a shot yourself!!

"Courtois made the save, he was very focused!"

"It's clear that Neymar is in great form today, and the Belgian team needs to pay extra attention to him..."

Brazil applied constant pressure from the start of the first half, taking advantage of possession.

Neymar and Willian were very active on both flanks.

Coutinho continued to supply ammunition, and it looked like Belgium was struggling to hold on.

"What should we do? Belgium won't do."

"They definitely can't beat Brazil."

"Brazil is going to win the championship!"

"Even the Japanese are struggling to carry it, how are we going to beat Brazil?"

Seeing such ignorant comments, Li Xin, a die-hard football fan who stayed up all night to watch the game, was speechless.

Lu Xiao is incredibly popular in China, with a fan base that has surpassed that of sports stars like Yao Ming and Liu Xiang in their prime.

Despite this, there are still a small number of haters who constantly belittle him and praise foreign stars.

Li Xin couldn't help but quickly type a retort in the live chat.

"Just watch the game properly, didn't you see Belgium is tightening their defense?"

"Brazil has no offensive capabilities whatsoever, so what's so strong about them?"

"Just wait, Belgium's counterattack is imminent!"

In this World Cup, Belgium relied on fast counter-attacks to break through England and win the group.

And they ultimately came back from 3-0 down to defeat Japan.

Brazil's reckless forward push played right into Belgium's hands!

Li Xin had just finished typing.

Just as he predicted!

Neymar holds onto the ball too long.

When he tried to cut inside to break through, he was double-teamed by Kompany and Lu Xiao at the same time!

Lu Xiao dropped back to the center-back position to defend?

Neymar was caught off guard and completely unprepared.

Lu Xiao easily poked the ball away and turned to pass it to De Bruyne in front!

"Belgium counter-attacks!! Lu Xiao makes a crucial steal!"

"De Bruyne! Dribbling down the right flank, great!! A precise long pass to Hazard!"

"A 2-on-3 situation arises in the attacking third, Hazard attempts to dribble past his opponent..."

"Thiago Silva!! His anticipation was spot on. Hazard couldn't get past him, but his footwork was exquisite, and he controlled the ball..."

"Lean back against Silva, pass back!!"

"Lu Xiao!!! Make a run from the back, dribble past him and Fernandinho!!"

"Beautiful!! One more person!!"

"Goal! Lu Xiao!! His 9th goal of this World Cup!"

"He has a very good chance of breaking his own record of 10 goals in a single World Cup, set in 2014!"

Lu Xiao's goal sent Neymar into a deep freeze.

I thought I could close the gap with Lu Xiao and at least be able to compete with him at the national team level.

Following Orange's thoughts,

Belgium's golden generation is at its strongest.

Brazil, the five-time world champion, is getting worse and worse.

A substantial gap has emerged between the two sides!

The first goal had just been conceded, and only 13 minutes into the first half, Neymar knew the game was over.

Sure enough, in the 39th minute, Brazil switched to a defensive counter-attacking strategy but still couldn't stop Belgium.

"Outside the penalty area, De Bruyne makes a cross!"

"Oh my god, Lu Xiao!!! A long-range shot!!"

"A world-class goal!!! Alisson couldn't save it! Lu Xiao scored from the corner!!"

"2-0!!!"

"Lu Xiao has successfully broken Gerd Müller's record, moving into second place for most goals in a single World Cup tournament, second only to Fontaine's 13 goals!"

"It looks like Belgium is going to go on a rampage today!"

hiss--

Brazilian players, especially those who participated in the World Cup four years ago, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Look up at the scoreboard.

If the Belgian flag is rotated 90 degrees, wouldn't it become the German flag?

The painful memory of 7-1 is back!
