”Lance!!! The ball is in!!! It’s in!!!”

”Game-winner!”

Duan Xuan’s face was flushed, and he almost couldn’t catch his breath!

Anyone who witnessed that scene must have felt a sudden jolt in their heart!

Time jumped to the 93:00 mark.

The referee already had the whistle in his mouth, ready to blow.

Everyone thought the score would be fixed at 3-3, and both sides would shake hands and call it a draw!

But Lance used his actions to tell the whole world!

”No! A draw is not enough!”

Facing the bouncing ball on the grass, Lance incredibly remained calm, turned, and used his left foot to control and dribble past, creating an angle—

A volley with his weaker foot!

From the edge of the penalty area, a ”Peach Blossom Shadow Falling Flying Divine Sword”!

A fatal strike to kill the game!

”4-3!! Lance did it! He scored a brace and delivered the winning goal against the mighty treble winners, Bayern Munich!”

”The 16-year-old prodigy is still performing his miracles!”

”Bayer Leverkusen has silenced Allianz Arena today!”

As Duan Xuan roared with passion, Lance in the picture was equally excited, rushing towards the corner flag area where the away team was, dominantly tearing out the corner flag and holding it in his hand.

Like the Soviet army conquering the Reichstag in World War II, he charged forward bravely, holding the flag high.

The handsome young man, full of vigor, leaped lightly onto the advertising board and raised the flag pole!

And cheered with the crazy Bayer Leverkusen fans in the away stand—

”Hurraaaaa!!!”

”Hurraaaaa!!!”

”Hurraaaaa!!!”

German commentator Mehmet Scholl was visibly moved by the sight.

”No one favored this Bayer Leverkusen team before the match! They seemed to be a group of grassroots players, with no big-name stars in the team, no market-shaking transfers...”

”Yet these young men today, despite falling behind, showed what tenacity is! What the spirit of football is!”

”The 4-3 score says it all!”

”Led by the young Lance, they did it!!”

”Allianz Arena! Conquered today!! Hurrah—!”

At the moment of the decisive goal, everyone on the Bayer Leverkusen bench went wild; players and staff in white jerseys rushed onto the field.

Echoing commentator Mehmet Scholl’s voice, Allianz Arena truly seemed to have been conquered by the small western city of Leverkusen.

”Yes!!”

Sascha and Hyypi? were extremely excited; both of them rushed onto the field to celebrate with the players.

One might have thought Bayer Leverkusen had won the championship, but in reality, it was just the explosion of pent-up emotions.

With only 20% possession throughout the game, they were completely suppressed in their own half by Bayern Munich.

Facing adversity, they counterattacked again and again, breaking through their limits time and again!

These young men from Bayer Leverkusen deserved to go wild!

In contrast, Bayern Munich.

The moment the game ended, they all collapsed onto the ground.

Did Bayern Munich not try hard enough?

They had tried hard enough, maintaining the oppressive presence of a treble-winning team throughout.

In all statistics, Bayern Munich led by a large margin.

Only the score was 3-4!

Home team first, away team second.

Bayer Leverkusen had only 6 shots in the entire game, 4 on target, resulting in 4 goals.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer sat on the goal line, staring blankly at everything before him.

He didn’t know what was wrong with Bayern Munich, he only knew that Bayer Leverkusen’s performance truly deserved the victory.

Especially that young man, that 16-year-old with black hair and yellow skin.

Pep Guardiola had repeatedly emphasized, block his right foot, defend as much as possible on his right side.

All of Lance’s goals were scored with his right foot; blocking it should prevent a shot.

Dante indeed did that; he blocked Lance’s right foot...

Who knew this guy could still chip the ball to his left side and shoot with his weaker left foot?

Manuel Neuer jumped to save immediately, but the ball incredibly squeezed into the dead corner between the crossbar and the post!

Damn it!

Manuel Neuer, in a fit of anger, lashed out, venting his frustration on the nearby turf.

Among the players on the field, only the resilient Philipp Lahm managed to remain composed.

Though small in stature, he contained immense energy within his body.

Philipp Lahm still maintained a straight back, and shook hands amicably with the Bayer Leverkusen captain, Simon Rolfes, after the match.

”Congratulations, you played beautifully.”

”You guys are strong too, we almost didn’t make it.”

Simon Rolfes couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Next time, it won’t be so easy.”

The next encounter would have to wait until next year, when both teams would return to the BayArena to play.

And Bayern Munich, in the second half of the season, usually unleashes terrifying power, at that time, Bayer Leverkusen would certainly face an even tougher test.

”I’m looking forward to it.”

Simon Rolfes felt a lingering fear, but still had to maintain his composure.

Speaking of which, this victory was definitely not as easy as it seemed on the surface.

He had once thought they were going to lose, but in the end, it was the magical Asian teenager who stepped up repeatedly to save the team.

Towards the end of the match, Simon Rolfes saw that he was almost too exhausted to run, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered until the very last second?

”How did he sprint into the penalty area at the end?”

Lance was still outside the center circle in his own half when he passed the ball, by the time his teammates crossed, he was already waiting at the edge of the penalty area.

”Monster, truly a monster.”

Lance, with his sunny smile, gave people the feeling of David Beckham in his prime.

But from the opponent’s perspective, his smile was simply a nightmare.

Simon Rolfes was relieved that this monster was on his team.

...

”May I ask, what are your thoughts on once again receiving a 1-point rating in the Bundesliga and winning the Man of the Match trophy?”

Holding the Bundesliga MVP trophy, Lance was already familiar with this process.

The trophies in his hand could be put together to form a 2-star trophy.

”I’m very happy that, with the support of my teammates, we are leaving with 3 points. The pressure at Allianz Arena is really immense, but we did it.”

”Then may I ask, how do you evaluate Bayer Leverkusen this season? What are your prospects after defeating Bayern Munich?”

The reporter clearly knew that young people like Lance were prone to getting carried away and dropping news.

Lance’s previous ”championship declaration” had sparked heated discussion on Twitter.

Sure enough, Lance knew the reporter was digging a pit for him, but he didn’t care at all!

”The answer is still the same! Championship! I said, Bayer Leverkusen is a team with the strength to contend for the championship!”

The reporters at the scene laughed.

Lance was indeed still a spirited young man!

Last time, Lance’s championship talk was about the DFB-Pokal, but this time, since he could directly challenge the Bundesliga overlord...

Lance truly believed Bayer Leverkusen had a chance to win the championship!

However, having said that, Lance felt quite a lot of pressure.

He suddenly remembered in his prophetic dream, in the 2013-2014 season, Bayern Munich won the championship with 90 points, 7 rounds ahead of schedule, pulling 20 points ahead of second-place Borussia Dortmund!

Regardless of how embarrassing Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich was in the Champions League, their dominance in the Bundesliga was strong enough!

”Oh dear... I spoke too soon.”

Lance secretly clicked his tongue.

However, this instead stimulated his desire for a challenge!

Compared to hack-and-slash games, he preferred games like ”Dark Souls”

The more challenging, the more enjoyable!

This season, he might as well set a small goal for himself!

Challenge Bayern Munich’s invincible 90 points in the Bundesliga!

Contend for the championship with the overlord!
