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

After a long winter break, the Bundesliga is back in action!

Bayer Leverkusen fans, who have been silent for more than half a month, are getting impatient!

In the past, fans might not have been so anxious, as Bayer Leverkusen's performance was inconsistent.

Every weekend on match days, they would go to the Bayer Arena to watch the game as if it were a holiday.

Winning means a perfect weekend.

There's nothing we can do about losing; we can only wait to win next week's match.

Since they can't count on winning the championship anyway, the fans don't have high expectations for the results.

I'm already quite satisfied with making it into the Champions League and playing a few games each year.

There wasn't much enthusiasm for the second half of the season after the winter break.

As a result this year,

Bayer Leverkusen suddenly became more assertive!

A comeback victory against Bayern Munich, a tough Champions League group stage match against Manchester United, and a strong league match against Borussia Dortmund!

At the beginning of the season, fans couldn't believe that they would have a chance to compete with five-time champions Bayern Munich for the title.

So much so that during the winter break, fans felt like every day was an eternity.

I wish I could spend every day digging up news about Leverkusen on Twitter and forums, checking every player's updates.

That's what Chloe, the young girl, was like.

She had heard that Lu Xiao did not spend the Christmas holidays with his family, but returned to Leverkusen to train on his own.

Chloe wanted to muster up the courage to ask Lu Xiao to go on vacation and have fun together.

As a result... Lu Xiao went to train with the Belgian national team.

After the training camp, the club will resume its pre-match training.

Chloe's plan fell through, and the girl was heartbroken.

However, like many Bayer Leverkusen fans, she still managed to catch the Belgian national team's friendly match.

Seeing Lu Xiao score in his national team debut, Bayer Leverkusen fans celebrated with Belgian fans on Twitter.

We've finally made it through the winter break.

The Bundesliga resumes with a tense and exciting second half!

2014 year 1 month 25 day,

Bundesliga Round 18!

Freiburg vs Bayer Leverkusen

The Freiburg Black Forest Stadium can only hold a little over 24000 people, with the away stand having a maximum capacity of 1500 people.

Klose did not join the Bayer Leverkusen fan club to become a die-hard fan.

She also failed to get tickets for Freiburg's home game.

All I could do that day was cheer for Lu Xiao from the TV.

Meanwhile, the Cantonese restaurant "Dim Sum Haus" in Munich,

The television in the lobby was also showing a Bayer Leverkusen match.

New diners don't understand: why aren't they showing Bayern Munich's matches when the game is in Munich?

The Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach match also started at the same time.

What's the point of letting Bayer Leverkusen play?

Soon, regular customers started explaining things to them.

"See the photos on the wall? See the MVP trophy on the counter?"

"These are all Lu Xiao's honors, understand?"

The diners present were filled with awe and respect.

Even if some of them were Bayern Munich fans, they all had a very good impression of Lu Xiao.

Because of Bayern Munich's tradition, most of the outstanding players in the Bundesliga will join Bayern's team.

For example, Klose, Neuer, Mario Götze, and then Lewandowski.

Therefore, Bayern fans don't dislike a player in advance to avoid being rebuffed.

They had already categorized Lu Xiao as a promising young star for Bayern Munich.

Therefore, I looked up carefully to watch the Leverkusen match.

In the close-up television shot, Lu Xiao sports a confident and unrestrained smile, complementing his handsome features with a distinctly Eastern flair.

Many female fans wanted to scream.

The television also broadcast the passionate voice of commentator Behrenberg:

"Lu!! His opening volley tells all the fans he's in excellent form today!"

"The 16-year-old made his debut for the Belgian national team during the recent winter break, scoring a goal just one minute after coming on as a substitute!"

"After the winter break, he continued his outstanding performance from the latter part of the first half of the season!"

"He has become an indispensable starter in Leverkusen's forward line! Even the core of their attack!"

"Today, facing Freiburg's solid defense, Leverkusen tried many attacks around Lu Xiao, and the results were quite good. Unfortunately, they were a little unlucky!"

"That shot from a tight angle just now hit the post..."

……

On the pitch, Freiburg players were drenched in sweat.

The pressure Lu Xiao put on them was comparable to that of Robben, Ribery, and Thomas Müller at Bayern Munich!

Before the match, Freiburg's coaching staff had made meticulous preparations to target Lu Xiao.

It was completely useless!

Every time a Bayer Leverkusen player passed the ball to Lu Xiao, he was able to immediately intercept it amidst the crowd.

Use all sorts of elegant ball control techniques to get past the defense, either to deliver a deadly pass or to shoot directly on your own!

Within the first five minutes, Lu Xiao had already hit the target once and the post once, giving the entire Freiburg stadium a real scare!

On the coaching bench, Sasha and Hyypia held the back of their heads, secretly lamenting their misfortune.

"oops!"

Hypia suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Bayern Munich have scored two goals in quick succession!

He wore headphones, constantly monitoring the situation on the other side.

Bayern Munich, whose match started 30 minutes earlier, are currently leading Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0.

This means that Bayern Munich has an 8% chance of winning today.

The pressure is on Leverkusen!

If we want to compete with Bayern for the title, the point difference absolutely cannot be widened.

Every game where we can gain points must be seized as much as possible.

Otherwise, losing even one point could lead to failure in the final championship race.

Unless they are Bundesliga champions

There wasn't much difference between the runner-up and the fourth place.

The Leverkusen players are already showing signs of impatience.

Several attempts were made to find Son Heung-min.

Unfortunately, Lars Bender's two through balls were too long and were intercepted and destroyed by Freiburg's defenders.

In the first half, Freiburg's defensive tactics kept the score at 0-0.

Lu Xiao looked at his [Anger Value: 72%], realizing that it would be difficult for him to unleash a perfect shot in this state.

At the same time, Freiburg learned from the lessons of other teams.

Keep a certain distance from Lu Xiao for the time being.

This way, there's no need to worry about Lu Xiao's perfect first touch to control the ball and create an opportunity to dribble past his opponent.

We have to find a way to break this deadlock.

Lu Xiao observed the situation on the field and quickly came up with a plan.

Freiburg's coaching staff suddenly noticed that Lu Xiao seemed to be increasing the number of physical confrontations.

Previously, Lu Xiao would avoid physical confrontations to avoid wasting unnecessary energy.

Lu Xiao is now deliberately dribbling the ball to attract the opponent's collision, committing a foul with a small foul.

This left Sasha and Hypia completely confused.

"What's going on? Why is Lu so out of sorts in the first game?"

Sasha couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, he definitely has his own strategy."

Hyypia has great faith in Lu Xiao; this kid is definitely not a brainless, technically-minded player.

Lu Xiao's greatest strength lies in his ability to read and observe the game, and he tries to find opportunities on his own.

Just like this ball!

Lu Xiao repeatedly took the initiative to confront him, causing his anger level to rise rapidly!

Rage level: 72%

Rage level: 85%

Rage level: 92%

[Rage level: 96%]

Rage level: 100%

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Freiburg committed a sliding tackle foul, instantly igniting Lu Xiao's anger level to 100%!

Lars Bender takes the free kick from the center circle.

He looked up and surveyed the area. Freiburg's defensive line was very tight; the restricted area was full of people!

Only Lu Xiao is still waiting for his chance outside the penalty area!

Lars Bender didn't have time to think it through. He instinctively decided to trust Lu Xiao, took the free kick, and sent a long pass to Lu Xiao in front of the penalty area!

"Lu, facing this ball... Lu Xiao!!!!"

Beneath Bereenberg's rich tenor voice,

Lu Xiao evaded the opponent's interference outside the penalty area, leaned against Freiburg's defensive midfielder, and gently flicked the ball up with his knee!

Then, outside the penalty area, he unexpectedly executed a bicycle kick!

With [Rage Value: 100%],

Lu Xiao doesn't play tricks on you!

"Lu!! A bicycle kick from outside the penalty area—"

"Goal! A bicycle kick from outside the box!!"

Bayer Leverkusen take a 1-0 lead away from home! A winning start after the winter break!

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this spectacular bicycle kick from outside the penalty area will once again be nominated for this year's Puskás Award!"

"No disrespect intended, but I would say that if Lu Xiao continues like this, the Puskás Prize should simply be renamed the Lu Xiao Prize..."

"This ball!"

Before commentator Berenberg could finish speaking, Leverkusen had just finished celebrating a goal.

Switching back to the scene, Leverkusen scored again within a minute!

The goal scorer was Lu Xiao!
