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

Chapter 73 Holy crap?! Shaolin Soccer 2, Senior Brother!

To date, Lu Xiao's toughest matches include a dramatic comeback victory against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

And the equalizer against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Today at the Bayern Stadium, despite a dream start of just 22 seconds, we were pegged back by Manchester United.

Lu Xiao finally understood what it meant to have the background of a wealthy family and the resilience of Manchester United.

Even with a change of head coach, the results were not the same as before, and the whole team was on a downward spiral with no way back.

They still retained the last vestige of Manchester United's fighting spirit and refused to concede defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, meaning the points difference and head-to-head record remain unchanged, and Leverkusen remains top of the group.

Therefore, Leverkusen is not in a hurry for the time being; on the contrary, Manchester United needs one more goal to take the lead.

To create the only possibility in the battle for first place in the group.

"Stay calm!! Stay calm!!"

"Go back!! Don't rush! Don't press it!"

Coach Hyypia stood on the sidelines shouting at the players, telling the two full-backs not to be reckless.

Leverkusen will continue to focus on a solid defense and counter-attacks.

Especially on the flanks, we must not give Valencia any opportunities to dribble and break through.

During halftime, he repeatedly told the players, "The advantage is on our side!"

However, players inevitably get anxious on the field and need constant reminders from the coach.

After a stalemate of about 10 minutes in the second half, Leverkusen gradually stabilized the situation.

Lu Xiao was very active in the attacking third.

Every time there's a counter-attack opportunity, as long as it's given to Lu Xiao, he's bound to make a splash.

The camera frequently switched to him.

As a fan of Luis Scorsese, commentator Sauer of German television station Sport1 was extremely excited.

"Manchester United's attack was a bit rough this time, cleared! Okay... Lu!! A pass from Lars Bender..."

"OMG! Lu!!"

Lu Xiao's signature backheel flick, a perfect control and dribbling move that shook off Carrick and broke through midfield, was a sight to behold!

"Pass to Son! A connection between two Asian players!"

"Sun!! Get ready to shoot!! No!! Cross the ball—"

"Lu!!"

Sun gave up his own chance to shoot, setting up a shooting platform for Lu Xiao?

Then Lu Xiao won't hold back!

Rage level: 62%

Fellaini received a yellow card for defending Lu Xiao in the first half, so he didn't dare to make any more dirty moves in the second half.

Moyes was also afraid that Fellaini would lose his temper and get a red card.

In the second half, Carrick was assigned to specifically mark Lu Xiao.

Carrick's defense relies more on awareness and positioning; he doesn't engage in many physical confrontations.

This also resulted in Lu Xiao's rage value not increasing as quickly as it did against Fellaini.

Moreover, Son Heung-min's lateral passes are very comfortable.

Lu Xiao doesn't need fancy ball control; he can just shoot directly.

Therefore, "Skill 2: Hardcore Shot" cannot be triggered for the time being.

The probability of a successful shot is unpredictable, so in desperation, Lu Xiao just shot the ball as he had practiced countless times in his training!

I'm not just someone who relies on cheats!

He's a product of Bayern Munich's youth academy and a professional player who trained at Bayer Leverkusen for so long!

At 16 years old, Lu Xiao's shooting power is comparable to that of an adult player.

With perfect angle and speed, the ball hurtles straight into the top corner of the goal!

"Lu—kick yourself!!"

As this high-quality shot was about to score, the stands at the Bayer Arena had already stood up and raised their hands in cheers.

A glove suddenly appeared in the ball's path, dragging the ball out of bounds with one hand!

"Wow!!! David de Gea!! A world-class save!"

Even the German commentator, Scholl, couldn't help but praise this outstanding Spanish goalkeeper.

German legend and 02 World Cup runner-up goalkeeper Oliver Kahn also praised it highly:

"This lad is truly outstanding; he is simply one of the greatest goalkeepers in Manchester United's history."

Regardless of future personnel changes at Manchester United, please do not let him go.

How could Kahn have known that 10 years later, Manchester United would not only let De Gea go, but also bring in the unpredictable Onana?

Add to that the unpredictable Pogba, Fred, and captain B, and Manchester United would be a team that would leave fans speechless.

Even now, under Moyes, the Premier League rankings are constantly declining.

This Manchester United team looks much better now.

Lu Xiao is becoming increasingly active, and Manchester United is gradually being tied down by Bayer Leverkusen.

Moyes couldn't stand it any longer and started making substitutions.

They successively substituted left-back Evra, who had a minor leg injury, and Shinji Kagawa, who had been performing poorly.

And Van Persie.

???

"Was Van Persie substituted?"

Scholl couldn't understand why Manchester United was crippling itself.

The Rooney-Van Persie partnership is clearly one of the few things Manchester United can count on.

Moyes, however, substituted the more threatening Van Persie?

Let's see who's coming on!

Danny Welbeck!

Ashley Young played as a makeshift left-back, Nani came on as a substitute to play on the left wing, and Welbeck led the attack.

In addition, right winger Valencia...

"Whoa!"

Lu Xiao was stunned when he saw this lineup.

Na doesn't pass, Wa doesn't shoot, Yang doesn't pass, Bei doesn't advance...

Is Moyes trying to complete the bond between the "Dark Four Kings"?

As expected, Manchester United's attack showed no improvement afterward, and instead they lost their composure.

"Nani doesn't pass" Nani put on a show of "I upgrade alone", making crazy breakthroughs on the left wing to find opportunities, and then ending the attack with a wild shot.

Left-back "Yang Buguo" has questionable defensive capabilities and doesn't contribute much in attack either.

Several of his crosses were high and floated to the other side.

Apart from the shot that equalized the score in the first half, "Wabu She" could only attempt to break through on the right side at other times.

After Leverkusen strengthened their defense, their full-backs locked up in the defensive zone, and Valencia couldn't find many opportunities.

Not to mention Bei Bujin.

Rooney practically fed him the biscuits, practically breaking them into pieces for him.

Welbeck's close-range shot went high and wide.

"Danny Welbeck!!! That ball—oh dear! What a wasted opportunity!"

In the 82nd minute of the second half, Rooney made a diagonal run into the penalty area and chipped the ball in the opposite direction.

Welbeck didn't even try to score when there was an open goal!

If Leverkusen hadn't been so tight in their marking of Rooney's shot, with Rolfes sticking to him every step of the way,

Where would it be Welbeck's turn to shoot?

Manchester United fans are missing Robin van Persie, who just came off the pitch. Why was he substituted?

Nobody knows except Moyes.

"Chance!"

Lu Xiao knew that Manchester United was getting increasingly impatient, and Leverkusen's golden opportunity was just around the corner!

Theoretically, a 1-1 draw would still put them in first place in the group.

But why draw when you can win?

The 2-2 draw last time left Lu Xiao feeling very disappointed, and he didn't want to have that regret this time!

Lu Xiao wants to beat Manchester United!

Therefore, Lu Xiao deliberately broke free of Carrick's defense and found himself in front of Fellaini.

Even Fellaini with his afro was afraid of Lu Xiao.

"Hey buddy?"

"?"

"It's nothing."

Fellaini was somewhat speechless; the rules didn't restrict which side Lu Xiao had to attack.

Even when he deliberately ran into his own defensive zone, there was nothing he could do. Fellaini had no choice but to focus all his attention on defending Lu Xiao.

After several consecutive confrontations,

Lu Xiao watched as his anger level soared, reaching 95%!

"As expected, it has to be Fellaini! If he didn't play this dirty, he wouldn't have improved so quickly!"

The match has reached the 85th minute, and the score remains deadlocked at 1-1.

Welbeck's shot was caught by the opposing goalkeeper once again.

A counter-attack was launched with a throw-in, and Rolfes played a through ball to Lu Xiao.

As Lu Xiao was about to receive the ball, Fellaini habitually clung to him, tugging at Lu Xiao's jersey with a small movement and attempting to trip him with a sweeping leg kick.

Generally, Fellaini uses his height and long legs to intercept the ball or disrupt the player with the ball.

But he didn't expect that Lu Xiao wouldn't stop the ball normally, but instead gently flicked it with the back of his heel, completing a nutmeg!

"Oops!"

Fellaini, feeling humiliated and enraged, instinctively tried to pull Lu Xiao down by tugging at his jersey.

But halfway through the pull, Fellaini realized he still had a yellow card and quickly let go.

Lu Xiao's balance was disrupted, and he staggered forward a few steps before falling!

"That was a foul!!"

Commentator Shao Er spoke up for Lu Xiao.

The referee also had his whistle in his mouth, ready to blow it at any moment.

Carrick then rushed forward, intending to slide tackle and steal the ball.

It was clear that whether a foul was called or Carrick disrupted the fast break, the opportunity was over.

Lu Xiao was not willing to accept this!

[Rage level 100%!]

Just before he was about to fall, his anger level was at its maximum!

Physical fitness, awareness, and reaction time have all been enhanced!

The monstrous talent of S-rank template Nagi Seishiro is perfectly loaded!

Lu Xiao instinctively braced himself with one hand on the ground.

The "Breaking-style" move that was once performed was recreated on the competition stage!

Everyone in the audience stared in disbelief as Lu Xiao performed his flashy ground moves.

First, he used a standard "Sweep" to sweep the ball away and avoid Carrick's sliding tackle.

Then, using a "back spin" motion, he turns and rises, dribbling the ball forward!

Whether it's Twitter and Kicker forums abroad, or Weibo and Lu Xiao's fan forum in China, all the fans watching the game were in an uproar!

Holy crap!!

"This is okay?"

"ah?!!"

"God Lu!"

"Holy crap! Shaolin Soccer? Whirlwind Ground Kick?"

Similar ground moves do exist in street freestyle soccer.

But Lu Xiao is the only one who has combined freestyle football and Breaking dance on the field!

Manchester United defender Phil Jones once again displayed his classic terrified expression, watching helplessly as the monster Marseille rounded past him!

"Luh!! He's unbelievable!! He beat Fellaini, he beat Carrick!! And then he beat Phil Jones!!!"

"He's inside!! Facing De Gea's attack!!!"

"My God!!! What a brilliant chip shot!!"

De Gea, who had launched the attack, was also stunned.

Young people usually fire a burst of energy subconsciously, which is easier to block.

Lu Xiao calmly chipped the ball over De Gea's head.

Precise and elegant!

All the Manchester United players could only watch in despair as the ball traced a beautiful parabola and fell into the goal!

"Goooooooal!!! Lu Shaaaaaw!!!"

"What a fantastic strike!!! Sensational performance!"

Even the English commentators on Sky Sports, who support Manchester United, couldn't help but cheer for 16-year-old Chinese boy Lu Xiao!

This is simply the most spectacular goal that even the renowned commentator Martin Tyler has seen in over 20 years!

It seems likely that Lu Xiao will sweep the Puskás Prize this year!

"Young Lu Xiao's game-winning goal!! Manchester United's dream shattered at the Bayern Arena!"
