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

Chapter 70 What's it like to be at the center of German football media attention?

The Champions League incident will not affect Leverkusen's efforts to gain points in the league.

The team is currently ranked third, behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

If it were last season, Leverkusen would definitely be satisfied.

But ever since their last-minute victory against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and having tasted the thrill of coming close to the top of the table, Leverkusen no longer cares about finishing in the top three.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are certainly strong, but our pharmaceutical company is definitely capable of winning the championship!

That was a league title that the club had never won in its history!

What if?

What if we make history?

If they wouldn't have dared to dream of it before, after their dramatic comeback victory against Bayern Munich, Leverkusen's ambitions have begun to slowly grow.

We are currently 4 points behind Bayern and 1 point behind Dortmund, which is just a matter of one or two games!

Bundesliga Round 11: Braunschweig vs. Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen, a team fighting relegation at the bottom of the table, will not hold back and will go all out to win the title!

"OHHHH! Lu! Incredible move!"

He chipped the ball over his opponent in the penalty area and passed it to his teammate! Kiessling tapped it into the empty net!

Bayer Leverkusen are leading by one goal away from home!

"...It's Lu again! His outstanding performance in the Champions League is matched by his equally impressive performance in the league!"

A side-volley shot pierces the net!

0-2!

Bayer Leverkusen, the away team, extended their lead!

"...Lu, he has already attracted at least three people to surround him!"

That ball!! Even after losing his balance following the impact, he still managed to flick the ball up with his heel and pass it to Sun—

Son Heung-min! He won in one fell swoop!

A perfect combination between two Asian players!

0-3!

For Brunswick, they only have the strength of a 2. Bundesliga team, and they might be able to beat a mid-to-lower-tier Bundesliga team.

However, Bayer Leverkusen is not currently a mid-table team in the Bundesliga.

They have the strength to contend for the Bundesliga title!

With two goals and one assist, Lu Xiao once again dominated the game! He secured three points effortlessly!

After the match, his unleashed firepower once again ignited the German media, with experts and fans alike exclaiming in amazement!

A bombshell in the Bundesliga! A 16-year-old Chinese-British prodigy scores 8 goals and provides 4 assists in 7 games! His efficiency is astonishing!

From substitute surprise player to absolute core player, still averaging 1.14 goals per game despite missing one round! Matthäus exclaims: He makes the Bundesliga tremble!

Lothar Matthäus, the German legend, was originally a Borussia Dortmund fan.

His columns are known for their sharp commentary, and he rarely wastes words praising a particular player.

He often causes controversy because of his "foul mouth".

However, ever since Lu Xiao suddenly appeared, Matthäus has gradually become a "Lu Xiao fanboy".

Even Dortmund fans are complaining that Matthäus, a Dortmund legend, has recently become a Bayer Leverkusen fan.

"I must be frank: I've been in the football world for decades, but what Lu Xiao, this 16-year-old Chinese boy from Bayer Leverkusen, has shown is extremely rare, even epoch-making!"

Just think about it: he only made his first substitute appearance in the fourth round of the league, and just a few games later, he scored 8 goals in an incredible way! His goal-scoring efficiency of 1.14 per game is a bit beyond my understanding of football!

Are young people these days really that strong?

He didn't rely on luck. Look at the ways he scored: volleys, long-range wonders, bicycle kicks, chip shots after dribbling past five players, and brilliant side volleys.

Lu's arsenal always seems to contain the newest and most formidable weapons. He's an absolute nightmare for goalkeepers!

He reminds me of a young Cruyff and Messi, possessing that magic that can single-handedly change the course of a game. But he seems to have more refined technique, more elegance!

Bayer Leverkusen has found a priceless gem, and the entire Bundesliga has benefited and been astonished by it. But I must say, where is this kid's ceiling? The sky seems to be the limit.

If he can remain humble and hardworking, and avoid injuries, he will redefine our understanding of child prodigies.

The Bundesliga is witnessing the rise of a "magician" from the East, who turns the pitch into his stage and the opponent's defense into the backdrop of his performance!

Bayern Munich is likely to suffer this season; their throne is in jeopardy…

Mateusz's constant boasting made Lu Xiao blush; it was too cheesy!

Lu Xiao immediately liked Matthäus's tweet and retweeted it.

Of course, where there are praiseers, there are also critics.

Former German international and Bayern Munich legend, known as the "Bad Boy" Stefan Effenberg, expressed his pessimism about Lu Xiao on Twitter.

"I feel that Matthäus was blinded by the flashy fireworks of the East and was blowing more exaggeratedly than Beethoven's symphonies."

A few highlight performances and you dare to call it "epoch-making"? Aren't there plenty of fleeting stars in Bundesliga history?

Pato and Adriano were just as dazzling back then! And what happened?

As for Bayern's throne, you needn't worry about that.

Under the leadership of championship-winning coach Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich's dynasty is more stable than ever before, and not just anyone can take advantage of them.

Let's talk about revolutionizing the Bundesliga after he's played three seasons and is still on this pitch!

This Weibo post was also liked by Bayern Munich fans and sparked controversy, trending on social media.

On the surface, it is a dispute between two German legends, Matthäus and Effenberg.

In reality, it was an undercurrent of tension between the old guard Bayern Munich and the challenger Bayer Leverkusen fans.

Lu Xiao's phenomenal performance of 8 goals and 4 assists in 7 games served as the catalyst, quickly sparking a massive discussion across the entire Bundesliga with the participation of fans and netizens.

Is Lu Xiao merely a flash in the pan, a phenomenon in the short term?

Or is he a future superstar who will influence the world order?

With the season not even over, it's naturally difficult to reach a conclusion on this issue.

Lu Xiao also wanted to express some opinions on Twitter.

As a result, he was kept in the eye of Hannah Moir, the PR lady from the public relations department, and had no choice but to give up and keep a low profile in training and competition.

The fourth round of the Champions League group stage has quietly begun.

The entire Bayer Leverkusen team traveled to Donetsk, Ukraine.

Lu Xiao, who was in the eye of the storm, once again used a sporadic "scorpion kick" inside the penalty area to lob the ball into the goal.

Son Heung-min broke through on the left wing, cut inside from the edge of the penalty area, and fired a long-range shot to score.

0-2!

Bayer Leverkusen, the away team, scored again!

With 10 points, they secured their place in the Champions League knockout stage and made a strong run into the group stage!

German television commentator Sauer expressed his passion at the moment the match ended:

"Congratulations to Leverkusen! Congratulations to Lukaku! Congratulations to Son! Congratulations to everyone!"

When the draw was announced, nobody really thought Leverkusen would be a good team.

From a hard power perspective, both Real Sociedad and Shakhtar Donetsk are quite competitive.

And then there's Manchester United, who are 'the undisputed group winners'!

Bayer Leverkusen's chances of advancing are still uncertain!

But! They have an incredible group of young players who delivered outstanding performances in the group stage!

With 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches, remaining undefeated, they have successfully qualified for the Champions League knockout stage!

Of course, the best solution for Leverkusen to go further in the knockout stage is to compete for first place in the group.

Manchester United have won 3-0 away against Real Sociedad.

Bayer Leverkusen is currently in first place with 10 points.

Manchester United are second in their group with 8 points.

Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Sociedad are essentially out of contention.

The next match, a direct confrontation between Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United, will determine the true champion of Group A!
