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

Bayer Leverkusen easily defeated Augsburg 3-0.

Ending a two-game winless streak in both the league and the Champions League.

To be precise, it wasn't exactly a slump, considering they managed a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

Both English and German media outlets are praising Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester United, who were tied at home, are the ones being criticized by the media.

Lu Xiao's masterpiece exposes Moyes's vulnerability: Leverkusen's young prodigy secures a deserved draw, Manchester United manager's apparent weakness raises questions. -- 442

Therefore, after defeating Augsburg, head coach Markus Weinzir, who made arrogant remarks before the match, was criticized by German media and netizens.

"Bayer Leverkusen are amazing! They found the 1% chance of winning out of 99%!"

"With such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, how did Bayer Leverkusen manage to take them down 3-0? /doge

"I'll make a prediction: there's a 99% chance that head coach Weinzierl will be sacked this season."

"The farce is over. Leverkusen is in the top tier; mid-to-lower-tier Bundesliga teams can't pull off this."

……

Four days later, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Bayer Leverkusen will face Shakhtar Donetsk.

Bayer Leverkusen currently sits atop the group with 4 points from 1 win and 1 draw.

Shakhtar Donetsk has 1 win and 1 draw, accumulating 4 points, and is ranked second in the group due to a lower goal difference.

Manchester United have 2 draws, 2 points, and are third in the group.

Real Sociedad finished with 1 draw and 1 losses, placing them at the bottom of their group with 1 point.

Group A has progressed to a point where the situation is beyond anything the rest of Europe could have imagined!

During the draw, everyone predicted that Manchester United would come in first without any pressure, while Real Sociedad in La Liga might finish second.

As a result, both of these guys are in serious trouble advancing from their group.

It's Leverkusen and Shakhtar Donetsk vying for first place in the group!

The next two matches will likely directly impact the group's qualification standings.

Even Manchester United fans secretly cheer for Bayer Leverkusen, otherwise, if Shakhtar Donetsk had won even one game,

Manchester United's chances of advancing are in serious jeopardy!

Facing this Shakhtar Donetsk team, the entire Leverkusen team was very cautious.

A situation where they could compete for first place in the group and advance to the next round.

Head coach Sasha and Hyypia dared not be careless and thoroughly studied their opponents.

The most dangerous player for Shakhtar Donetsk is undoubtedly Douglas Costa.

This left winger is incredibly fast, reaching an astonishing 35 km/h while dribbling during the match.

He averages over 3.5 dribbles per game, placing him among the top dribbling players in Europe.

It possesses both the ability to cross and the ability to cut inside and shoot.

With Douglas Costa's level of skill, he's more than qualified to join a top European club.

Douglas Costa and right winger Teixeira, the two Brazilian players form the "Samba wings".

This will pose a huge threat to Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk also has Dario Srna, the captain of the Croatian national team;

Luiz Adriano, the striker being pursued by AC Milan;

Ukraine's national team's starting goalkeeper, Pyatov;

Fred, the Brazilian midfield maestro scouted by Manchester United!

Shakhtar Donetsk is really good at recruiting Brazilian players and selling them to top clubs as a "star-making factory".

Manchester City's midfielder Fernandinho and Chelsea's winger Willian both came from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Lu Xiao knew all too well that this match would be no easier than Manchester United's.

Therefore, he worked hard to train a week before the competition, striving to bring out his best competitive form in the competition!

Match day!

When Lu Xiao led the caddie onto the grass of the Bayer Arena,

The system has indicated that the fusion value has achieved a new breakthrough!

It seems that 50% and 75% are two key points.

I don't know if new skills will be unlocked when I reach 100%. If not, I can only hope for the enhancements brought by the new template.

Currently, Lu Xiao is weak in physical confrontations, has average speed, lacks scoring ability when his rage meter is low, and has relatively weak awareness of off-ball movement...

These are all shortcomings.

Compared to those of the same age group, or rising stars under 20,

Lu Xiao is already a supermodel.

But compared to world-class superstars like Messi, Ronaldo, Hazard, and Neymar,

Lu Xiao is well aware of the significant gap between himself and them, and he is not complacent because of his current achievements.

Nonsense, they haven't even won a championship.

How can they accuse Messi and Ronaldo of cheating?

The first season has just begun, let's take it slow!

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, listening to the countdown from the fans and the referee's whistle!

My third Champions League match in my professional career has begun!

……

"Douglas Costa!! Ouch!! That ball—"

"That was close! That long-range shot with the inside cut was very threatening. Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno was terrified."

"...Oh no! Here we go again! Douglas Costa!! Assuming he's a true disciple?!"

"Adriano—"

"Headline goes wide! Leverkusen escapes a close call!"

"After 25 minutes of the first half, Shakhtar Donetsk took the initiative and Bayer Leverkusen struggled to keep up."

Coach Xu, what's your opinion?

CCTV5 commentator Duan Xuan's partner, Xu Yang, a frequent CCTV commentator, has already analyzed some aspects of the match.

After all, he is a former Bayi team player, a former Guoan and Luneng legend, and also briefly served as a national team player.

In Xu Yang's view, Shakhtar Donetsk's midfield strength is no weaker than Bayer Leverkusen's:

"Donetsk may look like a Ukrainian Premier League team, but they actually have a lot of Brazilian players. They play a very refined style on the field, while also having the wildness of a South American team."

"Fred is a very creative young player. His left-footed through balls were very accurate several times, and he could create a great penetrating effect when combined with the two wingers."

"On the other hand, Leverkusen is under pressure defensively, with Rolfes and Lars Bender, the two defensive midfielders, spending more time battling with the opponent."

Lars Bender was unable to utilize his passing skills effectively.

Meanwhile, the attack on the flanks is also crippled, with the right flank completely suppressed, leaving Son Heung-min on the left to create threats.

Lu Xiao and Del Dijok were unable to get support and struggled to mount an effective attack.

This led to the Donetsk miners becoming increasingly aggressive and pressing higher and higher...

"but……"

Coach Xu then changed the subject.

"Shakhtar Donetsk have been pressing too aggressively these past few times, leaving their backline quite vulnerable. Perhaps they can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Spahic headed the ball away from the backfield.

Lars Bender controlled the ball with his chest and then dribbled it away.

Looking at the players in front of him, Lu Xiao, Derdiyok, Son Heung-min... Lu Xiao only had Fred with him.

Lars Bender decisively used his big foot to search for Lu Xiao!

With a height of 181cm, wouldn't Lu Xiao easily defeat Fred, who is only 169cm tall?

Seeing the ball heading straight for him, Lu Xiao wasn't at ease.

Fred, the Brazilian midfielder, is definitely a short guy and a future Manchester United midfielder.

But he's very strong!

They must have received guidance from the coaching staff, constantly seeking physical contact with Lu Xiao.

For the first 25 minutes, Lu Xiao was almost constantly battling with him for position, and his jersey was nearly torn.

However, Lu Xiao cannot afford to falter in this crucial counterattack!

Your teammates trust you!

Fred couldn't win the header, so he could only hold off Lu Xiao from behind to prevent him from turning around.

The most Lu Xiao can do is head the ball back to his teammate.

This temporarily slows down the pace of the counterattack.

Just as the ball was about to hit the ground, Lu Xiao headed it down lightly, feigning a breakthrough to the right before passing it to Son Heung-min.

Fred quickly stepped to the right, attempting to intercept the pass from the kid.

The next second, just as the ball was about to be kicked,

The ball suddenly disappeared!

"Wait? Where's the ball?"

Fred's view was blocked by Lu Xiao's back, so he didn't notice anything at all!

By the time he reacted, Lu Xiao had already turned around and broken through!

"Oh my god—this ball!!"

"A skillful lobbed pass to get past the defender!! Wow! So elegant!"

Duan Xuan slapped his thigh. "Lu Shen is showing off again!"

He pulled back his right leg like a cow's tail and flicked it over their heads, taking advantage of Fred's short stature!

The instant Lu Xiao had a flash of inspiration and broke through Fred's defenses, he simultaneously received a notification!

[Hardcore Shot: Difficulty level 92, shooting success rate 92%]

So tall?

Then let's kick it!

30 meters from the goal, before the defenders could even move forward to interfere, Lu Xiao unexpectedly and decisively fired!

"Huh? You just kicked it!!"

Duan Xuan was dumbfounded.

Lu Xiao suddenly made an unreasonable shot!

but!

The ball, like a cannonball, flew straight into the top corner of the goal.

"Oh my god! This goal!! A world-class strike!!"

"Lu Xiao is amazing!"

"Leverkusen's second shot of the match, their first on target! They take the lead!"

"1 to 0!"
