"Well, well... Lu, I thought you were very thin, but I didn't expect you to be quite strong."

Leverkusen, medical examination center.

Coach Hyypia accompanied the new player throughout the routine medical examinations before signing the contract.

The club doesn't actually need the coach to be involved; they can just send staff members along.

But Hypia was very interested in Lu Xiao and wanted to see for himself all aspects of Lu Xiao's qualities.

The physical examination for football players is not like the pre-employment physical examination for ordinary employees, which is just a matter of drawing blood and measuring height.

My experience with Lu Xiao was comprehensive.

The first step is basic testing for height and weight, musculoskeletal system, blood biochemistry, and genetic diseases.

Afterwards, participants will need to wear breathing masks and heart rate monitoring devices to perform high-intensity tests such as running on treadmills and stairs.

Check the strength of maximal oxygen uptake, lactate threshold, anaerobic capacity, etc.

After that, there are balance tests, muscle strength, reaction and cognition, agility, explosiveness and other aspects required of professional players.

They checked almost every hair from head to toe, for fear of any potential problems.

Lu Xiao's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Japanese and Korean boy band idols.

Aside from his skin turning a healthy wheat color from being exposed to the sun and wind, he looked rather frail.

Based on the actual intensity of the physical examination, Lu Xiao's physical condition is much better than that of players aged 16, and is almost comparable to that of young players aged 18-22.

His long-term habit of going to the gym has given him a physique comparable to that of young Europeans.

Of course, age is a significant disadvantage.

Lu Xiao couldn't outmuscle the 25-year-old strong defensive midfielder and center-back.

In professional matches, these technically skilled players are easily overwhelmed.

The most important thing about football can be summed up in just three words.

Body, body, and damn body.

On the other hand, Lu Xiao's ball control talent is top-notch, and once his body is fully developed, his future is promising!

He is a promising talent worth nurturing.

Hypia was completely relieved.

"Have you specifically trained your muscles before?"

"Yes, at Bayern Munich II, the fitness coach created a training plan specifically for me. I've been training every day."

Lu Xiao waited a full three years for the system!

Do you know how I've spent the last three years?

Such a professional and passionate young player,

Hypia admired him even more.

Generally, European and South American players around 16 years old, especially those with a little talent, tend to be arrogant.

He spends his days going to bars and nightclubs, indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery at a young age.

Lu Xiao is a truly rare professional young player.

"That's good. You can go to the spa first and have a masseuse help you relax your muscles, and then take a cold bath to relieve fatigue."

"Sir, may I now?"

"Of course, even though you haven't signed a contract yet, you're already a member of Bayer Leverkusen. Welcome to the team in advance!"

Hypia warmly shook hands with Lu Xiao.

"By the way, do you have an agent? It would be best to have an agent help you with the contract signing."

"no."

Lu Xiao shook his head.

If he had had an agent's help, he wouldn't have been kicked out of Bayern Munich by Ten Hag.

"I have connections with Mendes. If you don't mind, I can recommend you to his team."

"Could it be Mendes?"

"That's right, it's Mendes, the one you're thinking of. His team will probably contact you sometime today."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hypia."

"Oh, it's nothing. Just play well and seize your opportunities."

Hypia had a premonition that the little guy with the Asian face in front of him might become a shining star in Europe.

……

"The medical check-up is really thorough."

Lu Xiao dragged his tired body into the Leverkusen Spa.

I was just about to take a bath in the ice water pool to stimulate my blood vessels and relieve muscle fatigue.

Suddenly, she bumped into a handsome blond man and jumped up from the recliner, startled.

Upon looking up and seeing Lu Xiao, the blond handsome man breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was terrified, I thought it was the coach... By the way, bro, are you from the youth academy? I'm lost, this is the first team area."

"I'm in the first team... I just had a trial."

Lu Xiao felt a little guilty, after all, the contract hadn't been signed yet.

"Oh? Are you Son Heung-min's compatriot?"

"No, we have different nationalities."

"I don't understand, you all look about the same, but you're much more handsome than him... By the way, my name is Julian Brandt, the playmaker and the strongest player on the Bayer Leverkusen team."

Julian Brandt stood tall and looked rather intimidating.

Before he could finish showing off, a South American player walked by, glancing at him casually while wearing a bath towel.

"Don't believe him, he's just my substitute."

"Guardado!!" Julian Brandt roared in fury.

Unfortunately, he had no way to deal with Leverkusen's starting left winger, Guardado.

Lu Xiao had already figured it out; which team's star player was hiding from the coach and slacking off at the spa?

Lu Xiao simply couldn't be bothered to expose him.

Julian Brandt wasn't embarrassed at all. He grinned shamelessly and sat on the recliner next to Lu Xiao, chatting casually.

"Lu, even though we're substitutes, it's okay. With our abilities, we can definitely fight for a starting spot and ultimately stand on the Champions League final stage, shining brightly on the world stage!"

Go for it, Lu!

Julian Brandt is incredibly outgoing.

Lu Xiao never expected that the first friend he made after arriving at Leverkusen would be a substitute winger.

Julian Brandt... Julian...

wait?

Lu Xiao couldn't help but glance at him.

In fact, Lu Xiao had a secret that she had never told anyone.

He often has dreams that foresee the future, and anything related to football is likely to be dreamt about.

For example, Lu Xiao predicted two years in advance that Spain would win the 2010 World Cup.

Predicting Bayern Munich would win the 2012-2013 Champions League a year in advance.

He also predicted that Mario Götze would defect from Dortmund and transfer to Bayern Munich.

He recently had another dream, in which Germany won the 2014 Brazil World Cup, and in the final, Germany vs. Argentina.

The player who scored the winning goal was Mario Götze!

No one would believe it if I told them now, but Lu Xiao firmly believed it.

At this moment, facing Julian Brandt, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered his dream from last night.

It's like I dreamt that this guy was wearing a Borussia Dortmund jersey and standing on the stage of the Champions League final!

It seems they have some ability.

"Yes, brother, yes."

"What?"

"You will be standing on the Champions League final stage."

"Haha, you have a good eye! From now on, I'll protect you on the team!"

After hearing Lu Xiao's prediction, Julian Brand had no doubts at all; on the contrary, he began to fantasize happily.

Seeing teammates like this, Lu Xiao is a little worried about his future at Bayer Leverkusen.

I wonder when I'll finally get a chance to play?

Only through actual combat can you accumulate the fusion level of the [Nagi Seishiro template].

"Hopefully soon."

After a cold shower and a massage from a Bayer Leverkusen physiotherapist, Lu Xiao felt refreshed.

I was just about to go back to the dormitory to rest and prepare for tomorrow's trial training.

Suddenly I received a phone call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lu Shaw?"

"it's me."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard you're looking for an agent. Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Jorge Mendes."
