----------

Many fans had just turned on their televisions or walked into a bar to cheer for their favorite team.

Many fans in the East had just opened their computers and still had to watch 60 seconds of advertisements in the Sina Sports live broadcast room.

When the advertisements finished loading, many fans were stunned.

Wait a minute?

Am I still dreaming?

How is it 1-0 already?

Real Sociedad fans in La Liga were even more puzzled; they were still chatting and laughing in the bar, hoping Real Sociedad would crush Bayer Leverkusen and advance from this group.

Suddenly, the commentator’s wails came from the TV above the bar, and they looked up to see...

Ah???

Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 Real Sociedad!

A handsome Asian face, full of vigor, rushed towards the corner flag, celebrating with a knee slide!

Bayer Leverkusen teammates also followed, joining the celebration, forming a spectacular knee-sliding formation.

The Champions League official quickly released the data!

10.09 seconds!

Lance’s opening goal broke the 10.12-second record set by Bayern Munich player Roy Makaay in 2007!

The fastest Champions League goal record was broken by a 16 year old player!

And it will be difficult to rewrite it in the next decade or so!

Real Sociedad fans in the Spanish bar were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

BayArena, however, became a boiling ocean.

The stands were celebrating wildly; everyone couldn’t believe they could score a goal in just 10 seconds at the start!

A dreamlike start!

Fans who were still looking for their seats with tickets were puzzled, wondering what was going on?

The director also understood and quickly switched to slow-motion replay.

From the first second of the match, Bayer Leverkusen players were clearly prepared, with several players advancing in parallel, leaving the opponent defenseless.

Lars Bender’s cross was also very precise.

The most important part was Lance’s two touches.

One was jumping up outside the arc to control the ball with the outside of his foot, bypassing the defensive midfielder.

The other was charging into the penalty area, cleverly flicking the ball and turning to get past the goalkeeper.

Inside the penalty area, Lance remained calm, striding forward with his long legs to intercept the ball first, then perfectly flicking the ball up with the tip of his right foot.

Using the momentum of Andrés Guardado’s quick horizontal pass, he flicked the ball from left to right.

Using his left foot as an axis, he turned around the fallen goalkeeper.

Then, with his right foot, he volleyed the ball into the empty net!

The entire sequence of movements was seamless!

Flicking the ball and turning is not a difficult maneuver; even amateur players can do it with practice on the training ground.

But in the intense Champions League match, in the opponent’s penalty area, facing the enemy goalkeeper and defenders’ double-teaming, he could still score with such a brilliant move!

”Lance is a big-hearted player!”

Zhan Jun admired him more and more as he watched!

If the Chinese National Football Team had such a player, it would be a blessing!

Zhang Zhidao also praised him repeatedly:

”Oh, this goal! Beautiful! His ball control is stronger than many South American players, but this flick and turn, it looks simple, but few people can actually do it... Truly beautiful.”

Zhang Zhidao couldn’t help but sigh.

Chinese National Football Team players can actually be quite delicate on the training ground, but in matches, each of them controls the ball 10 meters away.

They all stand still like old men waiting for the ball.

From fighting spirit to daily training, they are lagging behind in all aspects.

Even if there is a genius, being influenced by this environment, they will soon be wasted.

Zhang Zhidao could only feel happy for Lance at this moment.

At least it proves one thing: Chinese people also have football geniuses.

...

”Lance!! You can do it!”

”I didn’t expect it to actually happen!”

”Awesome!”

Lars Bender gave a thumbs up, praising him clearly and distinctly.

It turned out that during the pre-match huddle, Lance suddenly suggested,

”Since we have the kickoff, why don’t we try to hit them hard!”

”How so?”

Captain Simon Rolfes was very interested.

Lance confidently explained his plan: a collective charge at the start, leaving the ball for him to handle.

Having gone through so many matches, his teammates were not fools.

They must have seen Lance’s ability.

Anyway, it was just an offensive attempt; whether it scored or not, they had to give the opponent a warning at the start.

Unexpectedly, it actually scored!

On the coaching bench, Sascha Lewandowski and Sami Hyypi? were also pleasantly surprised.

”Did you arrange this tactic?”

”No, did you?”

”No! These naughty boys, they just do whatever they want!”

Although he said that, Sascha was already beaming.

With a one-goal lead, Bayer Leverkusen could now sit back and play their best defensive counter-attacking game.

Now the problem would be handed over to Real Sociedad!

...

Real Sociedad coach Jagoba Arrasate frowned deeply.

His coaching career had mostly been spent with mid-to-lower-table teams in La Liga, and this was Jagoba Arrasate’s first time coaching in the Champions League.

No one told him that the Germans played like this!

What kind of thing is a 10-second opening blitz?

Real Sociedad was also good at defensive counter-attacks, liking to tear apart opponents with fast attacks.

Positional play was not Real Sociedad’s strong suit.

At this moment, with Bayer Leverkusen actively retreating to defend, Real Sociedad had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward for positional play.

”Damn it, damn it!!”

Antoine Griezmann was full of frustration.

He had made full preparations to defeat Bayer Leverkusen before the match, and in an interview with Spanish media, Antoine Griezmann confidently stated: ”With my offense, everything can be solved.”

Who would have thought they would concede a goal at the start? He couldn’t stand it!

Antoine Griezmann was very active, constantly creating threats by dribbling on the left wing.

”Real Sociedad’s attack, Griezmann has the ball on the left... Good, continuous feints, suddenly changing direction and bursting into the penalty area!”

”Cross pass--”

”Oh dear! Vela was a little too short and couldn’t get to the ball!”

”...The ball goes back to Griezmann, suddenly breaking through to the byline! Cross!”

”Quite dangerous! The ball skimmed past the goal, and Real Sociedad couldn’t even touch it.”

”Griezmann has the ball, trying to cut inside through the middle... He pulls it back, he’s in!! A cut-back pass!”

”Granero!!”

”A shot flew into the stands; the former Real Madrid midfielder wasted a brilliant pass from Griezmann.”

Zhan Jun couldn’t help but praise him after watching,

”This 22-year-old French left-winger is Real Sociedad’s most active player; he almost activated the entire front line, making Leverkusen afraid to push forward.”

”Several passes and combinations were very imaginative, but his physique is a bit thin.”

Beep--

Lars Bender pulled down Antoine Griezmann outside the penalty area, and Real Sociedad won a free-kick opportunity.

Esteban Granero stood over the ball to take the kick.

”Wait... This is also an opportunity!”

Lance originally wanted to rush into the penalty area to assist with defense; his 181cm height might be useful.

But he suddenly saw Real Sociedad’s two central defenders rushing into the penalty area.

Outside the penalty area, two full-backs and two defensive midfielders were assisting with interception.

If this ball was defended, it would be a perfect counter-attacking opportunity!

Lance quickly gave a look to his teammates; after exchanging secret signals, several familiar teammates generally confirmed Lance’s plan and were ready.

”Granero... takes a run-up, shoots!! Hey!! It hit the wall!”

”Rolfes!!”

Simon Rolfes was the first to arrive at the landing spot, snatching the ball, turning, and sweeping it to Lance!

Template: Nagi Seishiro - S (Fusion Value 74%)

Skills: Perfect Ball Control

Skills: Hardcore Shot

Skills: Unlocked at 75% Fusion Value

Rage Value: 46%

Lance strolled leisurely, as he received the ball, he immediately back-heeled it through the opponent’s legs, separating man and ball!

He even had the leisure to glance at the system!

Breaking many records in his first Champions League match caused Lance’s Fusion Value to skyrocket by 14%! Instantly soaring to 74%!

Generally, when the Rage Value reaches 100%, triggering the S-rank template’s full-power state, there is a certain chance to increase the Fusion Value.

Perhaps, during today’s match, a new skill could be unlocked!

Amidst his excitement, Lance burst forward with an accelerated dribble, passing through midfield!

It formed a 4-on-3 situation in the attacking third!

The advantage is mine!
