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

Sasha and Hyypia, the two head coaches, are having a bit of a headache.

In the footage, they both have the exact same pose, leaning back in their chairs with their arms resting in an inverted triangle shape.

On the other hand, the away team Stuttgart's bald head coach,

He stood confidently on the sidelines, chewing gum with a faint smile.

Sasha glanced at the shiny bald head opposite her and curled her lip in disdain.

"Another bald guy, what bad luck."

"You hate bald guys that much?"

"Yes, I hate Guardiola, and I hate this guy, he always acts so arrogant."

Sasha doesn't seem like a head coach at all; he's more like a primary school student who's been wronged but insists on being stubborn.

Hyypia mercilessly commented from the sidelines:

"He's a Champions League-winning manager, what about you?"

"I……"

Sasha Lewandowski was speechless.

Due to Stuttgart's poor performance in the first half of the season, former coach Labbadia led the team to the relegation zone.

Labbadia was sacked during the winter break, and Di Matteo took over as the current head coach.

This bald manager was once appointed as an assistant coach to take over Chelsea during a crisis.

After the departure of renowned manager Carlo Ancelotti, new manager André Villas-Boas has had a poor record.

As interim head coach, no one believed in Di Matteo.

As a result, Di Matteo staged a remarkable comeback, leading Chelsea to their first-ever Champions League title!

Ranieri, Mourinho, Grant, Scolari, Hiddink, Ancelotti, Villas-Boas...

Numerous world-class managers with diverse styles have failed to lead Chelsea to a title.

The relatively unknown Di Matteo led his team to a Champions League victory.

He instantly became famous in the world of football!

However, after being officially appointed, the team faced problems such as an aging squad, a lack of young talent, a diminished sense of honor after winning the championship, and the loss of key players.

Chelsea's performance declined, and Di Matteo was sacked not long after being appointed permanent.

Schalke 04 and Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, and Roma in Serie A were all interested in signing Di Matteo.

Di Matteo is almost at the last minute to sign with Schalke 04.

As a result, Stuttgart suddenly raised their offer and finally signed the "Champions League-winning coach".

Under Di Matteo's leadership, Stuttgart seems to be showing some signs of improvement.

He utilized Ancelotti's football philosophy and Mourinho's team-building approach.

Transform Stuttgart into a system of a steel-muscled defense and rapid counter-attacks.

They certainly gave Leverkusen a tough start.

Sasha and Hyypia both realized that Stuttgart's tight defense was very disciplined.

We need to invest more people to create opportunities for Lu Xiao.

However, with too many players pushing forward from the midfield and defense, Stuttgart becomes vulnerable to counter-attacks.

Bayer Leverkusen prefers playing against strong teams, using a defensive counter-attacking strategy to counter them.

Leverkusen always struggles when faced with a counter-attack from their opponents.

The two coaches, each with their own stubbornness, ended up with problems on both sides.

Completely clueless, how to break through Stuttgart's ironclad defenses.

"What should we do?"

"What else can we do? We can only hope that Lu scores quickly. As long as it's a draw, we can turn the tide."

Lu Xiao never expected that the two head coaches would place all the team's hopes on him.

……

[Fusion Value: 99%!]

Unfortunately, it's not today; we still need to accumulate fusion points.

Lu Xiao glanced at the system, then continued to focus on the match.

I played for 20 minutes in the second half, and after a long battle with Rüdiger, I had already used up a lot of my energy.

As Lu Xiao sprinted forward, he felt a constant metallic taste in his mouth and his chest felt like it was about to explode.

He was holding on almost entirely by willpower.

Rani Khedira and Rudiger kept a close eye on him, preventing him from getting the ball.

You could easily be knocked to the ground if you're not careful.

The referee was very lenient today, not calling fouls on minor collisions and confrontations.

This made it even more difficult for Lu Xiao to play.

"Lu Shen, we can only rely on you!"

"Let's try to get one in, Lu Shen!"

"Stuttgart is a tough opponent; winning or losing is normal."

"Is Stuttgart a really weak team?"

"Never mind all that, I just want to see Luka score."

Domestic fans are already a bit uneasy. If nothing unexpected happens, Leverkusen will likely be unable to break through Stuttgart's defense, ultimately resulting in the team losing points.

Fans are also hoping that Lu Xiao can make a good performance.

After nearly 70 minutes of observation, Lu Xiao had basically figured out Lü Dig's weaknesses.

This guy is very aggressive, but he's a double-edged sword!

It's definitely worth making use of!

After 72 minutes, Lu Xiao finally got his chance!

Bayer Leverkusen controlled the ball in the attacking third, and Son Heung-min was unable to break through on the left wing. Just as he was at a loss, Lu Xiao rushed up to support him.

Son Heung-min had no choice but to make a cross pass, transferring the ball to Lu Xiao's position.

Lu Xiao and Son Heung-min already have a certain level of understanding.

The moment Sun passed the message, Lu Xiao immediately turned around and approached Son Heung-min.

"Don't even think about it!"

With a high-knee running style, Lü Dige rushed to Lu Xiao's side in three steps at a time, intending to block Lu Xiao's route to break through to the left.

But the next second, Lu Xiao didn't stop the ball immediately!

Instead, the ball slipped past unintentionally!

Then, with a slight shift of his heel, he nutmegged Rüdiger!

At the same time, he turned around and charged into the restricted area!

Rüdiger's attack was too powerful, and he overshot the target!

He instinctively reached out to pull at Lu Xiao's jersey.

But Lu Xiaoren has already broken into the penalty area!

Ludiger hesitated for a mere 0.2 seconds before Lu Xiao had already brushed past him!

"Beautiful!! Lu Xiao!! He dribbled past Rüdiger in the penalty area and shot himself!!"

Rüdiger neutralized Lu Xiao for 72 minutes, causing the Stuttgart players to relax their guard slightly.

But anyone who dares to ignore Lu Xiao will be punished!

boom--

With his arrow nocked at the edge of the penalty area, Lu Xiao, unmarked, could aim perfectly and unleash the power of his fundamental skills!

"Goal!!"

"We really need to trust Lu Xiao!! His individual performance helped Leverkusen equalize again!"

The two sides were back to square one, and the score was tied 1-1 going into the final 10 minutes!

……

Having found a way to deal with Rüdiger, Lu Xiao was incredibly active in the last 10 minutes!

Even though Sasha and Hyypia could tell that Lu Xiao was already at his physical limit,

But the only player who made any impact on the field was Lu Xiao!

Only his three shots posed a threat to Stuttgart!

Rüdiger always likes to charge forward aggressively.

Lu Xiao could easily use his ball control to stretch Rudiger's position!

"Werner, dribbling down the wing...lost the ball!! Leverkusen have a counter-attack opportunity!"

In the 83rd minute, Werner couldn't resist joining the fray.

He dribbled the ball forward, almost tearing apart Leverkusen's defense.

At the crucial moment, Lu Xiao's teammates stepped up.

Lars Bender's slanted tackle from the side perfectly poked the ball away!

Son Heung-min received the ball, took a powerful dribble, and accelerated to overtake!

After a long period of silence, the Bayer Arena was finally filled with cheers from the entire stadium!

"Son Heung-min!!! He's dribbled past two players!! These two Asian players have become the most active players at Leverkusen!!"

"Lu Xiao is still trying to challenge Rüdiger. Son Heung-min arrives at the edge of the penalty area, but instead of cutting inside, he chooses to cross!"

"Lu Xiao!!"

Amid Duan Xuan's exclamation,

Son Heung-min was already exhausted from running.

He knew that blindly dribbling past opponents would easily cause his legs to weaken, leading to distorted movements and loss of possession.

In crucial moments, Son Heung-min placed more faith in Lu Xiao's ball control skills!

In Son Heung-min's view, controlling the ball within a small area to get rid of opponents...

Lu Xiao is number one in the world!

Faced with this quick and urgent pass, Lu Xiao pretended to rush forward and make a diagonal run into the goal.

Kiessling pulled away the other center-backs.

Rudiger continued to follow up, blocking Lu Xiao's inside cut.

Logically, everything should be foolproof.

But at the critical moment

Lu Xiao suddenly stopped and extended his left leg as he was making a forward run!

The soccer ball hit the outside of his left foot and, like a remote-controlled toy, obediently flew to his right!

Lu Xiao had already calculated Rudiger's attacking route when he controlled the ball.

He stopped abruptly and turned around, barely managing to avoid the other person!

As Rudiger passed by, he almost swatted the ball away with his hand!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao had already dodged to the right!

Rani Khedira arrived to cover and rushed in to disrupt Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao's right foot twisted back again.

He beat two people in a row!

Elegant and dashing!

"Lu Xiao—this ball!!"

Under the shocked gazes of Duan Xuan and all the fans,

Lu Xiao displayed a composure far beyond his years when facing the onrushing goalkeeper Ulreich!

A masterful toe flick, a Panenka lob!

"Wow!! Goal!!"

"Leverkusen scored the winning goal late in the game!!"

"Lu Xiao scores twice! He's reached 24 goals in 19 rounds, his attack is in full swing!"

The fans who were still worried about Lu Xiao at the start of the second half

Now he's completely shut up!

It turns out he wasn't refusing to explode, he was just holding back a huge one!

Now, it's the turn of coaches Sasha and Hyypia to smile.

The mask of pain was transferred to Di Matteo's face.

"That kid, he's a fucking monster!"
