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

Bayer Leverkusen is a well-known name in the Bundesliga.

Unfortunately, Leverkusen doesn't stand out much in the context of German geography.

This small town rose to prominence thanks to the global pharmaceutical giant Bayer Group.

Nestled among major cities like Cologne and Düsseldorf, it has a permanent population of only around 20.

Among the many "villages" in Germany, this is a village within a village.

Bayer Leverkusen training ground.

The president's office, current president of Bayer Leverkusen Michael Schade, head coach Sasha Lewandowski, and coach Sylpija.

The three of them sat around the sofa and began a heated discussion.

Head coach Sasha frowned. He has a fiery temper and speaks his mind, even if it offends the boss.

"Michael, this isn't necessary. We already have an Asian player. What are you thinking, signing a 16-year-old Chinese player?"

In Bayer Leverkusen's squad, South Korean star Son Heung-min has been in excellent form recently and is gradually becoming a key player for the team.

However, another South Korean player, Ryu Seung-woo, who was on trial with the club, was unqualified in both ability and attitude.

Head coach Sasha always felt that the club's continuous signing of Asian players was for the Asian market, rather than for improving performance.

"You've really misunderstood this time. You'll see when you see it."

President Michael Shad opened his laptop and played the video he had just received.

It was footage recorded by scouts at Bayern Munich's training ground.

Not long after parting ways with Lu Xiao, scout Jens immediately opened his computer and uploaded this content.

Seeing Lu Xiao's perfect ball control and superb dribbling skills on the training field,

His spirituality has been fully revealed!

"You have a really good feel for the ball."

Coach Hyypia sincerely exclaimed that, in terms of ball control alone, this was the most technically refined player he had ever seen!

"It's just a training video; he has never had any real match experience. And shouldn't a 16-year-old be signed into the youth academy? How can he be put into the first team?"

"This young player has emphasized that he only wants to join the first team and is not considering youth training."

"That doesn't make sense. It's normal for someone to be in a youth training camp at 18, why is he in such a rush at 16?"

Head coach Sasha maintained a firm tone.

"However, he single-handedly ended Bayern Munich's treble-winning season. I think this young man has potential. When it comes to player selection, we should disregard all rules and regulations, regardless of age, and only look at ability!"

Michael Shadman may lobby.

On the one hand, European clubs are too extravagant in their player recruitment.

Teams like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Monaco frequently sign 16-year-old prodigies for development.

If you want to be cautious and wait until they turn 18 before considering signing them, the real talents will have already been poached by other teams.

The team is just missing a number 10 forward.

Lu Xiao is a suitable reserve player.

On the other hand, he is of Chinese descent.

The signing will help the parent company, Bayer Group, expand its influence and increase its market share in China.

Why not?

There's no transfer fee involved; at most, you'll just have to pay a salary.

"Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots."

Head coach Sasha still doesn't quite agree; he can only make a judgment after seeing it with his own eyes.

But according to the boss, the people are already on their way!

The scout's movements were indeed quite swift!

Anyway, he's just a tactical head coach, and the team's player recruitment is none of his business.

How to use people is up to you.

"Let me make this clear first: whether or not we use him is up to me."

"Of course, of course, you're the head coach."

In the dual-coach team, the other coach, Hyypia, is quite interested in Asian boys.

"I have a feeling he might be the team's rising star!"

……

While the Leverkusen management was discussing the matter, Lu Xiao was already riding in a scout's Volkswagen Golf on the highway.

Before leaving Munich, he made a special phone call to his parents.

The couple felt a little reluctant to part with their child after hearing that the child was going to move away from Munich to Leverkusen.

I can at least go back to see them every week in Munich.

Now separated by distance, the couple is busy with their Chinese restaurant and has no time for Lu Xiao.

"What will you do about accommodation there? And what about the school? Can you really manage alone?"

The more Zhao Ping thought about it, the more worried she became.

Father Lu Yongping has a very big heart:

"Let him go out and make his own way. He's 16 years old; he should be living independently by now."

"Fine, he's my son, not yours, right? You're just going to ignore him like this?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't interfere. The child has his own ideas, and he can make his own decisions."

"Wait, you two, stop!"

Lu Xiao interrupted the couple's spellcasting; their bickering had become a habit over the decades.

They can argue however they want, but they always make up within two hours anyway.

However, Lu Xiao hadn't finished speaking this time.

"First of all, this trip is just a trial, and I may not stay with Leverkusen."

"In addition, if a contract is signed, the club will arrange accommodation and enroll me in a local high school in Leverkusen, where I can transfer and attend classes every week."

"In the end, Dad was right. I'm 16 and I can sign a professional contract, which means I may have to travel to many places in the future, and even go to different countries... It's time for me to be independent."

After leaving Bayern Munich's training ground, Lu Xiao packed all his belongings at Thomas Müller's house—just a backpack and a suitcase.

We boarded scout Jens's car and promptly set off for Bayer Leverkusen.

This efficiency surprised even Lu Xiao.

On the way, scout Jens proactively explained a lot about the club.

For example, as Lu Xiao just mentioned, Bayer Leverkusen will help solve the problems of accommodation and high school student registration.

Lu Xiao could easily obtain a German high school diploma and qualify for university during his years of playing football, becoming a cultured professional player.

Leverkusen is backed by world-renowned companies and has relatively ample financial resources.

There are enough dormitories on site, so you'll never have to worry about being kicked out again.

Once he gains consistent playing time in the first team and his contract salary increases,

You could consider renting a luxury apartment or buying a villa.

"Oh, right!"

In the car, scout Jens suddenly remembered something.

"You guys will probably have a lot in common with Son Heung-min in the first team."

"Son Heung-min?"

Lu Xiao was slightly taken aback.

He certainly knew the name—the South Korean player who had risen to prominence in the Bundesliga in the last two years.

He may replace Park Ji-sung and Shinji Kagawa as the "Number One in Asia" in the future.

A player from East Asia who can play as a starter for a top Bundesliga team is truly remarkable!

However, he is Korean.

It's impossible for us to have a common language.

"Actually... never mind, it's nothing."

Lu Xiao didn't know how to explain it to the scouts.

The rivalry between the Chinese and South Korean national football teams, and the historical relationship between the two countries.

According to Jens Wheeler, South Korea is part of a major Eastern power, and foreigners really don't know much about East Asia.

We chatted idly along the way, and as darkness fell, the car gradually approached Leverkusen.

Lu Xiao looked out the window, surveying the unfamiliar small town.

If I can successfully stay, this will become the place where I strive! The place where my dreams begin!

Will they stay?

A day earlier, Lu Xiao wouldn't have been so confident about becoming a professional player.

But after playing against Bayern's first-team lineup today...

Lu Xiao was bursting with confidence!

The max-level ball control of the [Nagi Seishiro] template is so useful!

Leverkusen's decision not to keep their players is definitely a loss for them!
