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

He Wei is very happy today.

Among the many commentators on CCTV5, Duan Xuan and Shao Shengyi are among those who commentate on the Bundesliga.

He Wei, Shen Fangjian, and others are responsible for the commentary of La Liga.

Ever since Lu Xiao of Bayer Leverkusen burst onto the scene in the Bundesliga, Duan Xuan has been cheerfully commentating on his matches every time.

He Wei could only watch with envy; he also wanted to personally commentate on the performances of the Chinese players on the field.

Just watching Lu Xiao play football is a treat!

This time, after much effort, I managed to give the leader a gift and hint, and finally got him moved to an important Champions League match in the scheduling!

Manchester United vs Bayer Leverkusen!

He Wei began preparing for today's commentary well in advance.

She even collected and organized information about Lu Xiao's childhood, such as being neighbors with De Bruyne and her parents running a Chinese restaurant in Munich.

During the "GG" time before the match started, before the camera even switched to the studio...

He Wei was inexplicably nervous and kept adjusting his suit.

Although he wasn't on camera at all during the commentary.

"What's wrong? You're a seasoned commentator, are you still a little nervous?"

Coach Zhang Lu chuckled and teased He Wei.

The two had partnered up many times before, the most classic being the 2011-2012 Champions League final.

He Wei and Zhang Lu witnessed Drogba, Terry, Lampard and other veterans lift the Champions League trophy.

The two have teamed up again to witness the showdown between 16-year-old Chinese boy Lu Xiao and Premier League giants Manchester United.

"Maybe so. After all, it's not easy to find a Chinese player like him. I hope he can perform even better."

"Hey, don't be nervous. Lu Xiao is definitely a big-game player. He gets more energetic in important matches."

Coach Zhang has been observing Lu Xiao for a long time and has a clear understanding of Lu Xiao's characteristics.

Besides, which 16-year-old player can start in such an important Champions League match against Manchester United?

The fact that he's in the starting lineup already shows that this kid is no ordinary person.

The two chatted for a bit more about today's match and Lu Xiao's recent performance.

The director's voice soon came through the in-ear monitor.

"Get into the scene in 30 seconds, get ready."

"OK."

He Wei took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, adjusting himself to be in top form to commentate on today's key Champions League match!

……

In the players' tunnel, Lu Xiao was seeing these Premier League superstars in person for the first time.

Griezmann lacked star power at Real Sociedad last time; he can only be considered a rising star.

Manchester United in front of them is different.

Rooney and Van Persie are both world-class players.

Noticing Lu Xiao's gaze, Rooney turned around and glanced at Lu Xiao.

A few years ago, the hot-tempered Rooney might have fiercely provoked his opponents.

But Rooney has matured now, and he smiled slightly and gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up.

"Lu, do you know Rooney?"

Lars Bender, standing behind him, seemed curious, as Rooney and Lu Xiao appeared to be quite familiar with each other.

"I don't know him."

Lu Xiao didn't know why Rooney had given him a thumbs up separately.

The referee team had already led both teams onto the field, so Lu Xiao had no choice but to calm himself down and file out with everyone else.

An overwhelming clamor swept in like a tidal wave.

The magnificent Old Trafford stadium is awe-inspiring from the moment you step in!

Accompanied by the Champions League melody performed by a live string orchestra,

Lu Xiao was trembling all over.

It wasn't a nervous tremor, but an excited one!

……

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League Group A matches!"

"The match between Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen has begun, and the team wearing red jerseys is the home team, Manchester United."

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, wore their away white kits…

"After the first round of Group A matches, Manchester United drew 1-1 away against Shakhtar Donetsk, while Bayer Leverkusen defeated Real Sociedad 3-1 at home."

Bayer Leverkusen are currently ranked first in the group, while Manchester United are currently ranked second.

After the Champions League group stage draw, the qualification situation in Group A remains relatively close.

Manchester United, who were highly anticipated by the media and fans, were originally the favorites to win the group, while Bayer Leverkusen and two other teams were vying for second place.

This match is crucial and could directly determine the qualification situation in Group A.

Against Manchester United, Leverkusen started cautiously, adopting their preferred counter-attacking strategy and holding their own in the backfield while waiting for an opportunity.

Manchester United dared not make any rash moves, knowing that Leverkusen's counter-attacks were sharp.

Therefore, the main strategy was to carefully control the ball and tentatively look for attacking opportunities.

The match didn't start with any particularly intense action; He Wei and coach Zhang Lu briefly discussed the Champions League group stage results.

"Hey! This ball!"

He Wei thought it might take more than ten minutes before both sides could play freely, but unexpectedly, something went wrong less than two minutes into the game!

Manchester United's attack failed when Rooney's shot from outside the penalty area was caught by goalkeeper Leno.

Leverkusen launched their attack by kicking the ball into the attacking third.

Son Heung-min faced Rafael one-on-one on the left flank of the attacking third, while Leverkusen's formation slowly pushed forward to create a threat.

I thought that even if Son Heung-min couldn't break through, he wouldn't concede a goal.

Rafael's precise and fierce tackle caught Son Heung-min completely off guard!

"Son Heung-min!! We've lost the ball!! Carrick, pass it to Rooney!!"

Lu Xiao was just returning to defense normally, without sprinting at full speed.

The moment I saw Rooney receive the ball in the center circle, I suddenly tensed up for some reason, gritted my teeth, and rushed over to try and disrupt him.

But Wayne Rooney had already made the first move!

A long pass from the center circle found its way directly into the penalty area!

striker Robin van Persie is sprinting forward, while center-back Spahic is trying to disrupt him.

Logically, a striker receiving such a long pass would usually stop and handle it.

As long as he has the ball at his feet, Spahic can use his body to force the striker out of position and drive him to the wing.

But he temporarily overlooked the fact that this striker was no ordinary person; he was Robin van Persie!

Stop the ball?

That's impossible to stop the ball!

To Lu Xiao's astonishment, Van Persie met the incoming ball with his left foot just outside the penalty area!

A powerful volley!

"Shit!!"

Goalkeeper Bernd Leno was shocked and immediately made a save!

But Van Persie's shot was too sudden, and the angle was just right.

Leno could only watch in despair as the ball flew past his fingertips at the speed of light!

"Ouch! This ball! Van Persie!!"

"Goal!! Robin van Persie's long-range volley from outside the box opens the scoring for Manchester United, just two minutes into the game!"

He Wei was stunned. Was this Van Persie?

The ability of a world-class striker to seize opportunities is terrifying!

Even after so many years of commentary, Zhang Lu was still blown away by this play.

"Wow, that's a goal! That was a really decisive shot!"

"Rooney is getting more and more amazing. That long pass was almost 50 meters long, and it landed perfectly on Van Persie's head. The two of them have such great teamwork!"

"Yes." He Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt that Manchester United seemed to have shaken off their slump today and were gradually regaining some of the pressure they had during the Ferguson era.

It remains to be seen how Lu Xiao will perform in the face of adversity.

"This goal is very similar to the one Manchester United scored against Aston Villa in the Premier League last season!"

The connection between Rooney and Van Persie helped Manchester United get off to a dream start!

Manchester United lead Bayer Leverkusen 1-0!
