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

Last time at Old Trafford, Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayer Leverkusen.

Rooney was always very dissatisfied.

The entire Manchester United team was not entirely convinced.

It's one thing to be tied by Bayern, but what about Leverkusen?

That doesn't make sense!

Rather than believing that Lu Xiao is a particularly strong player, the entire Manchester United team is more inclined to believe that it was their own oversight.

If we play seriously in the second leg away from home, we can definitely reclaim the top spot in the Champions League group!

If Manchester United win, they will overtake Bayer Leverkusen by 11 points.

If they can truly qualify as group winners, it would be an explanation to Manchester United fans and also to the board of directors.

Otherwise, David Moyes would be constantly worried about losing his job.

Manchester United have had their worst start to the league season in 20 years.

At least achieve something in the Champions League, right?

Before boarding the plane to Cologne, the entire Manchester United team seemed relaxed, joking with each other.

In reality, everyone carries a heavy burden in their hearts.

……

As the match day approaches,

Chloe noticed that there were many more Brits around these past two days, especially in the bars near the stadium, which were almost entirely occupied by Englishmen.

Every day there are drunken Englishmen and Germans fighting.

Bayer Leverkusen fans are used to this.

This is the case every Champions League home game day, especially when the opponent is a Premier League team.

English football hooligans are notorious figures in the world of football.

Since nearly killing Lu Xiao twice, Chloe has been driving much more cautiously lately and no longer drives like a crazy person, flooring the gas pedal.

Thinking of Lu Xiao, Chloe couldn't help but want to keep an eye on his every move.

How's training going lately?

Is there any serious injury to your body from the tackle that injured you in the lower back by the Donetsk miners?

How is Lu Xiao's form in this round against Manchester United?

Klose's interest in watching matches and supporting Bayer Leverkusen is largely influenced by her family.

Her whole family supports the pharmaceutical company, and she just goes along with it; she doesn't actually have much affection for Leverkusen.

Until I saw Lu Xiao's first match,

The 16-year-old Chinese-American boy was full of vigor on the court, always putting on a dazzling display with his most stylish playing style.

From that moment on, young Chloe finally discovered the aesthetics inherent in football!

Who knew football could be this exciting!

Turns out, sports stars aren't all slovenly men; there are handsome guys among them!

Klose missed the previous Leverkusen match, so it was fine.

After that, Klose never missed a game, and she paid attention to and liked every tweet Lu Xiao posted as soon as possible, no matter what news or updates the Bayer Leverkusen team had!

At first, Lu Xiao was just a promising young player with few fans.

Later, Chloe noticed that both the boys and girls in her class had started talking about Lu Xiao.

He has clearly become Bayer Leverkusen's rising star this season, a rising star!

Chloe suddenly felt like a hidden gem of a song that she had been listening to on repeat for ages had suddenly become a viral hit.

I felt both happy and a little uneasy.

Lu Xiao is no longer the superstar he used to be; his fan base is growing.

That's why Chloe lined up to get Lu Xiao's autograph and take a photo that day. Lu Xiao's "special attention" made Chloe happy for several days.

She endured it every day to keep quiet from announcing to the world that she had Lu Xiao as a friend!

Chloe was terrified of revealing it.

The girls in her class would frantically surround her, asking her to help them get Lu Xiao's autograph or find out gossip, which would definitely seriously bother Lu Xiao.

This feeling of wanting to show off but not being able to is really agonizing!

On Champions League match day, it was originally a day when the whole family would go out together to support the team at home.

The father, a die-hard Bayer Leverkusen fan, betrayed Leverkusen because of a school-sponsored party!

Can't stand it!

Chloe used to attend parties with her parents.

But today, she firmly said no!

"I've already booked my Champions League tickets; I'm going to watch the game today."

"Didn't you used to be uninterested in competitions?"

"I've become interested recently."

"Okay, are you sure you can manage watching the game alone? Or should I have Henry keep you company?"

"No, I'm 16, I'm an adult, I can go watch the game by myself!"

Chloe pouted angrily.

She doesn't need her father's assistant to be her nanny!

"Alright, alright, you go by yourself, remember to come back and share the battle report with me."

Theodore House-Science High School Board Member Oliver House smiled faintly.

How could he not know his daughter's little scheme?

Everyone's phone wallpaper is a picture of Lu Xiao.

Of course, Oliver House didn't mean anything by it.

Lu Xiao plays well and is handsome; it's normal for a young girl to be a fan.

"Lu is starting today, right? I hope he has good luck."

Upon hearing her father mention Lu Xiao, Chloe felt a sudden tightness in her chest for some reason.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Distracted by her father, Chloe glanced at the time.

"Oh no!! I'm going to be late!"

Most fans arrive one or two hours early, while die-hard fans in the South Stand arrive at least three hours in advance to prepare the TIFO for the opening match and to warm up the stadium atmosphere.

There is now less than an hour until the start of the match.

The area around the stadium will be so congested that you won't be able to move, and the parking lots will probably be packed with people!

Spicy!

Chloe rushed to the garage, the Porsche engine roared, and it sped off in a flash.

Even Oliver House, who had just stepped out of the house, was startled; his daughter nearly hit his car.

"This child."

"Mr. House, should we call and remind her?"

"Never mind, let her be."

At worst, I'll confiscate her car later.

……

Chloe rushed as fast as she could, but still encountered a huge traffic jam.

The small city of Leverkusen has many historical buildings and narrow streets.

Normally, the stadium can't accommodate so many vehicles, including local cars and many fans from all over Europe who came to watch the game.

Manchester United, as a global powerhouse, still has a large fan base.

"What should we do?"

Chloe was in a hurry and quickly turned onto a side road, intending to go around the other side of the Bayer Arena.

As a result, the other side was also very congested, and if this continued, they would definitely miss the start.

What if Lu Xiao scores at the start of the game?

It's such a shame that we couldn't see it in person; it's a regret that can't be made up for even by watching the video replay.

In despair, Chloe noticed that the traffic flow at the back gate of the Bayer Arena was relatively light, and people were entering in an orderly manner.

She suddenly remembered that she had entered through the back employee entrance last time.

or……

At the same time, many private vehicles tried to sneak in, but were strictly stopped by security guards.

Chloe, feeling uneasy, drove closer and forced an awkward smile.

"Hello, may I ask...?"

"Oh, it's you."

The stadium gatekeeper, over 5 years old with gray hair, is none other than Uncle Heinrich, the gatekeeper of the training base.

He remembered clearly that Lu Xiao had deliberately kept the girl with him last time, and the two of them took a very intimate photo together and chatted for a long time.

Their relationship is obviously not ordinary.

With such a handsome man and beautiful woman, Uncle Heinrich would never mistake them for each other.

"Huh? You remember me?"

"Of course, you're Lu's friend, right? The match is about to start, please come in."

As he spoke, the uncle pressed the switch on the electric door and put the girl Chloe inside.

"Thanks!"

Chloe was so excited she almost cried, and in her haste, she dashed into the employee parking lot.

I jogged along the players' tunnel to the fans' stands.

Once you hear the Champions League theme song finish playing in the stadium, the opening ceremony must be complete, and both sides must be ready to start the match!

"What should we do!"

Chloe, her face flushed, was panting heavily as she ran.

She has no sense of direction and couldn't find the section corresponding to her ticket.

I gritted my teeth and randomly picked the nearest exit, then jogged over there.

"10, 9, 8..."

The dimly lit corridors contrasted sharply with the brightly lit stadium, which was as bright as day.

At that moment, Chloe even thought she was climbing a long staircase to heaven.

"...3, 2, 1!"

beep—

The referee's whistle blew clearly!

The fifth round of Group A matches in the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Manchester United

The competition has already started!

As Chloe ran at full speed, the frail girl practically did a rapid series of actions.

She finally broke through gate number 12, panting, and entered the stadium stands!

boom--

The roar of the stands at the BayArena and the spectacular sights inside the stadium are overwhelming!

Meanwhile, Leverkusen kicked off first and launched an attack!

The venue was packed, with more than 5 people cheering excitedly in unison!

Lars Bender makes a long pass to the left wing.

Son Heung-min dribbled forward and then suddenly cut back before crossing into the penalty area!

Kiessling makes a diagonal run to the near post! The angle is too tight for a shot, so he heads the ball to the penalty spot!

Manchester United defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were both drawn to Kiessling, neglecting the most dangerous spot!

The instant Lu Xiao perfectly controlled the ball with his chest, headed it with his knee, turned, and bypassed Carrick...

Manchester United defender Phil Jones's face was contorted with terror, which later became a classic meme!

And at the same time,

Anna, who was rushing to the entrance of the stands, witnessed Lu Xiao's most handsome moment of controlling the ball, turning around, and shooting!

"This ball—"

Lu Xiao faced the goal, facing De Gea with a look of despair in his eyes.

A powerful shot with his right foot!

boom--

Swah——

The football was like a white rainbow piercing the sun!

Bypassing De Gea's gloves, and hitting the net!

"Yes!!!"

"Gooooooooal!!!"

The BayArena volcano erupted!

Anna jumped up on the spot, becoming one with the surrounding Bayer Leverkusen fans!

Meanwhile, the DJs at the Bayer Arena were full of passion!

"Bayer Leverkusen scores!"

"Goal scorer! Number 39—"

The voices of 5 people converged into an overwhelming wave of sound!

"Lu Shaw—"
