Chapter 1261 - 294: Barça’s Twin Emperors, Lu in Shining Attire and Horse

Either let Mateo through and recover defensively against the player receiving the pass, but then Mateo would be free.

Such scoring tactics are one of Bar?a’s classic ways to score.

It’s also one of the regular attacks centered around Mateo as the explosive point.

Bam!

Lu Yang makes a direct pass without stopping the ball.

Mateo gets the ball, but Peterk continues to stick with him, blocking his front side.

Bam!

Mateo chooses to return the ball without stopping it, then moves horizontally from the right side of the penalty area towards the left, running past the penalty spot.

Inside the penalty area, there are continuous fast one-touch passes.

This is a behavior that tests rapport greatly.

The opponent is likely unable to react, and most of the Ajax defenders have already lost their targets, in a state of physical rigidity.

But it’s also difficult for teammates to react.

And this is one of Bar?a’s attacking strengths.

They possess the ability to execute such intricate and rapid attacks in dangerous areas.

This is La Masia’s unique rapport.

Theoretically, Lu Yang shouldn’t have it.

But...

Having used so many Messi and Neymar Moment Cards, Lu Yang is not unfamiliar with Bar?a’s short-passing quick play.

Bam!

Lu Yang once again returns the ball without stopping it, passing it to Mateo.

There’s a detail here.

When Mateo ran towards the penalty spot, Peterk chose to resolutely follow him.

Because he knows, Bar?a’s attacking core must be Mateo.

Only Mateo has the highest finishing rights.

This is why Moreira left.

If Lu Yang doesn’t comply, Lu Yang would leave too.

No doubt about it!

So even though Lu Yang is able to shoot with his left foot after receiving the ball, and the defenders on this route have been taken away by Mateo, Peterk still chooses to follow Mateo.

And the first half of Lu Yang’s passing motion clearly seemed like a shooting motion.

So Peterk slightly wanted to come back to block Lu Yang’s shot.

But Lu Yang made a pass.

So Peterk’s body stiffened, unable to intercept at the best position.

When Peterk quickly released his body stiffness with his extraordinary physical talent, Mateo had already semi-turned from right to left, preparing to shoot with his left foot on the left side of the penalty area.

He looked like a spinning top.

Peterk immediately fell, making a sliding tackle to block!

Using his body to block Mateo’s shooting path.

But at the next moment, Peterk’s pupils vibrated!

Mateo rotated 180 degrees on the spot, swung his left foot but didn’t release the ball when it should have been shot.

Instead...

Bam!

"Mateo fires a blast with his left foot in front of the small box... not a shot, he touched the ball half a second later, it’s an inverted triangle return!"

"Peterk and the Ajax goalkeeper completely misjudged!"

"Peterk slid past the goal, Ajax’s goalkeeper blocked the near corner!"

"Lu Yang charges into the penalty area, this is a chance for an open goal!"

"But this time the shot is very challenging. Mateo’s pass was modified from a shot, powerful and fast."

"It’s very easy to mishit... or even miss the ball altogether."

Bam!

To be a bit safer.

Lu Yang ultimately made a sliding shot, using his entire leg as the cross-section to block the ball, increasing the contact area with the ball, preventing a miss and letting the ball slip through.

Both man and ball!

Lu Yang and the ball together went into the net.

This wasn’t a shot!

This was him using his body glide to bring the ball into the goal!

But it was indeed a shot!

An extremely rare unorthodox shooting gesture.

Next moment, Lu Yang emerged from the net, running towards the corner flag area.

"Hat-trick!"

"It’s a hat-trick indeed!"

"Debut hat-trick! Champions League hat-trick! This is Lu Yang!"

"Seventy million, truly worth it!"

The commentator couldn’t help but swear.

But at the next moment, a red and blue figure jumped onto Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was stunned.

"What the... someone’s taking advantage of me?"

In China, the person carrying someone is definitely the one being taken advantage of.

Outside of parents and family, the person carrying is often regarded as the lower status individual.

In ancient times, many aristocrats who couldn’t walk or felt the road was dirty would find someone to carry them.

Even now, in many tourist spots, there are people who carry tourists up and down to earn manual labor fees.

So Lu Yang instinctively wanted to shake off the "burden" on his back.

But he couldn’t shake him off!

The other person was holding too tightly.

At the same time, Bar?a fans were also slightly shocked.

Because... Mateo actually jumped onto Lu Yang’s back?

This...

The last time Mateo jumped onto someone’s back was when he had just debuted at Bar?a and was mixing in the Champions League that season.

And at that time, the person carrying him was unquestionably the emperor of Bar?a, Assis Moreira!

Perhaps because of the care and love from the back since he was a child, Mateo could see many superstars and was liked by them even at a young age.

These superstars didn’t mind running a couple of laps carrying the adorable Mateo.

This also became a happy memory of Mateo’s early football years.

Knowing that, Mateo was always small among peers.

Even as he grew older, even entering the first team, this habit remained.

This is his important way of expressing joy.

And in his subconscious, he will only jump towards someone he trusts enough, has a good rapport with, and considers strong enough.

It’s like how unless they are particularly familiar and trusting, a girlfriend won’t jump into her boyfriend’s arms.

Otherwise, if the boyfriend can’t catch her, wouldn’t it be awkward?

So, for Eastern people this is seen as Mateo taking advantage.

But those who understand Mateo are especially shocked.

Mateo acknowledged Lu Yang!

Even... more than just acknowledgment!

Could he even trust and rely on him?

Thus, Lu Yang carried Mateo to the corner flag area, letting out a cheer towards the fans, his right fist clenched and raised high.

The era of a frail Bar?a has ended.

The "Fresh Clothes of Lu Ma" dual emperors era of Bar?a is about to begin!

...

In Manchester City, seeing this scene, Moreira’s eyes reddened, shedding silent tears.

Once he and Mateo were really happy.

But... someone under the guise of purity made that place no longer pure.

And the elf can only survive in a pure place.

Moreira knows that a sweet football relationship has been born.

But he doesn’t see a positive ending for this relationship.

Perhaps one day, Mateo will also turn a blind eye to those around him turning against Lu Yang, no longer jumping onto Lu Yang’s solid back like a naive child.

Just like the story that happened this summer.

And this sweetness will end faster than Mateo’s own sweet moments.

Because Mateo... is getting closer to his personal peak state.

Camp Nou Stadium.

Eighty-ninth minute.

Ajax completely bowed their unyielding head.

Hernandez delivers a corner kick.

The Bar?a center-back Pirola, who performed adequately throughout, successfully took the most advantageous position to score a header with Lu Yang’s help in restraining Peterk!

For a match, Bar?a scored two headers, simply ridiculous!

Four to zero!

Bar?a fiercely battered Ajax at home, claiming their most exhilarating victory this season.

Their score also climbed to first place in the group.

Although Bar?a and AC Milan both have six points, Bar?a has the edge with a victory in the second round against AC Milan.

And Ajax has only one point, their hopes of advancing seem bleak.

Besides Mebarak who is out showing a smile due to severe facial injuries needing rest at home, almost all Bar?a people were smiling.

Even the sneaky Burgos showed a pure and innocent smile, giving a thumbs up of approval to Lu Yang as he looked over.

Mateo’s leap almost completely shattered the locals hoping to raise their own salaries through Lu Yang and Mateo by taking a curve.

One match, a hat-trick, Lu Yang truly conquered Barcelona!
