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

Returning to Germany with two away goals,

Lu Xiao thought that Leverkusen's failure to win would cause some controversy.

Unexpectedly, the moment the plane landed and the Leverkusen players walked out of the airport terminal...

Many fans were already waiting in the lobby to greet them.

Hundreds of people raised their hands in unison, clapping rhythmically and chanting Leverkusen slogans.

The entire airport terminal looked like the Bayer Arena!

Snap, snap, snap—

"Leverkusen——"

Snap, snap, snap—

"Leverkusen Allez——"

Inspired by the overwhelming enthusiasm of the fans who came to greet them at the airport, the Leverkusen players also approached and interacted with the fans in a friendly manner.

When Lu Xiao was signing an autograph for one of the female fans, the little girl was so excited she almost cried.

"Lu! You played exceptionally well! I'm confident we'll win next time!"

"Go for it, Lu!"

"Well done! Keep it up next time!"

If Lu Xiao previously only viewed Bayer Leverkusen as a "workplace,"

Seeing so many fans come to support him, Lu Xiao has already fallen in love with this small town and its fans.

Keep in mind that these fans drove over 100 kilometers to the airport in the neighboring city of Cologne to pick them up.

Moreover, due to flight delays, they waited here for 5 hours, until around 11 p.m.

It's hard not to be moved.

"Thank you, thank you everyone! We'll definitely win at home next time we face Manchester United!"

Lu Xiao is, after all, a 16-year-old boy. No matter how mature he is usually, he always has moments of youthful arrogance.

Making such a bold statement in front of fans will definitely be captured on a phone and posted on Twitter.

At that point, they will inevitably be swayed by the German and English media.

But Lu Xiao didn't care!

He's serious!

The next leg will be at the Bayern Stadium, where he will face Manchester United again. He doesn't want to disappoint his lovely fans!

"Lu, are you serious?"

Sitting on the bus back to the small town, Son Heung-min next to him was a little stunned.

In the post-Ferguson era, Manchester United's strength is no match for top teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Barcelona.

But it's already strong enough compared to Bayer Leverkusen.

Son Heung-min wasn't confident of beating Manchester United at home, but Lu Xiao was surprisingly brave!

"Sun, now that you've already made those tough remarks, you don't want to disappoint the home fans, do you?"

If we lose the game, I'll tell the media that you were the one who encouraged me to say it.

"Damn it, you!"

Son Heung-min was impressed by this sixth brother.

He's talking big and trying to drag himself down with him!

However, Lu Xiao's confidence was not unfounded.

Yesterday's game against Manchester United, especially in the second half, clearly showed the difference in skill level.

Manchester United are finding it increasingly difficult to withstand Bayer Leverkusen's onslaught; their legacy, courage, and fighting spirit are gradually fading.

With a 2-1 lead, Moyes' conservative, defensive tactics gave Leverkusen ample possession time.

They created enough opportunities in front of the penalty area, which led to Lu Xiao's last-minute equalizer.

Park Ji-sung, a former Manchester United legend and South Korean national team player who has since transferred to Queens Park Rangers in the English Premier League, has privately revealed that:

"This Manchester United team doesn't feel right anymore; it's not the Red Devils I know."

It's easy to imagine that the second leg will be held at the BayArena.

Bayer Leverkusen might just be able to win!

……

For Bayer Leverkusen, the Champions League is more about experiencing the atmosphere; given their current strength, it's hard to say how far they'll go.

The Bundesliga is the club's core business.

Lost to Hoffenheim in the 9th round of the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen have dropped to third place in the league, and they need to hurry up and catch up.

Bundesliga Round 10: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Augsburg.

As a team that fought relegation last season, Augsburg has had a good season so far.

2-1爆冷击败斯图加特、1-0纽伦堡、2-1弗莱堡，

Augsburg did not fall behind in matches against mid-table Bundesliga teams.

Their ranking has climbed from the relegation zone to 6th in the Bundesliga!

As a result, head coach Marcus Weinzier was quite arrogant.

He took over the team in 2011, leading them from the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, and has now achieved the club's highest-ever ranking.

Marcus Weinzier made some outrageous remarks at the pre-match press conference:

"Bayer Leverkusen isn't a particularly strong team; they're about the same level as us."

Bayern Munich and Dortmund are the real strong teams... so we have a 99% chance of winning away against Leverkusen!

The media was astonished. Such confidence?

"Mr. Weinzier, why is it 99% instead of 100%?"

Weinzier grinned:

"Because I am quite humble, there is a 1% chance of an unexpected event, but we will do our best to prevent any unexpected events from happening and defeat Leverkusen."

……

After training, I saw this video on my phone.

The Bayer Leverkusen players were speechless.

When people are speechless, it's kind of funny...

"This guy is a talent."

"Yeah, 99% is just too ridiculous."

"So, what do the brothers say?"

"What else can I say? I'll take him to see 1% tomorrow!"

The Leverkusen locker room was filled with laughter and cheers.

Lu Xiao could sense that, having experienced battles against strong European teams such as Real Sociedad and Manchester United,

They have already changed their mindset towards their opponents in the league.

Become more confident and composed.

The following day, witnessed by more than 5 fans at the BayArena,

The entire Bayer Leverkusen team performed similarly.

He passed and received the ball with ease, and his back-and-forth passing was smooth and skillful.

Augsburg, their opponents, had no choice but to park the bus and passively defend in front of the penalty area, always ready to steal a goal.

Can Leverkusen give them a chance?

Certainly not!

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Son Heung-min dribbled past the full-back on the left wing and unleashed a low cross with his right foot.

The football skimmed along the grass at incredible speed, heading straight for Lu Xiao!

Augsburg's defenders didn't dare to be careless and stuck close behind Lu Xiao to prevent him from turning and shooting.

But Lu Xiao had no intention of turning around!

"Lu Xiao—Wow!! Beautiful!! A brilliant backheel pass without controlling the ball!"

"Kiesling!! The thief's ball is here!!"

Commentator Zhan Jun has shifted from commentating on the English Premier League to commentating on the German Bundesliga.

Ever since Lu Xiao joined the Bundesliga, he's been practically begging to commentate on Lu Xiao for every match.

His colleagues at Sina Sports joked about it:

"Jun-ge, you're working two jobs, is it really necessary to work so hard?"

"There's nothing we can do; who can refuse Lu Shen's match?"

Even if Lu Xiao doesn't score, his exquisite assist in the penalty area alone is enough to make commentator Zhan Jun and the fans in the live broadcast room go wild!

Previously, a roadside match like Leverkusen's would only have a maximum of 3 viewers in the live stream.

The live stream now has over 30 regular viewers!

The number of spectators for matches against strong teams like Bayern Munich could potentially exceed one million!

This is because most of the viewership is taken by CCTV5; otherwise, there might be even more viewers watching the live broadcast!

"Watch the slow-motion replay! Lu Xiao had already spotted Kiessling's position before receiving the ball, and his backheel pass was full of imagination!"

"This goal perfectly illustrates why he, at only 16 years old, is gradually becoming a starting striker!"

"Not only is he capable of scoring, but he can also facilitate his teammates with the ball!"

"Lucia! Just as the German media says, he's the biggest treasure Leverkusen has discovered this season!"

Lucas, the midfielder for Liverpool in the English Premier League, is also known as "Lucas God" and is often referred to as "Lucas God Cas" by Zhan Jun.

But starting this season, Lu Shen is all alone!

Chinese player Lu Xiao!
