"His vision is just too good," Scholes said, shaking his head in admiration from the stands. "Ronaldo is right next to Gabi, even if Mario passed the football to Gabi, Ronaldo would foul to prevent Gabi from making the pass. Atletico's counterattack was doomed from the start."
"Deng Kai naturally didn't need to block the passing path from Mario to Gabi. The reason he was moving in that direction was to make Mario think he would intervene."
"It's a smart run, he's actively luring Mario into the trap he set."
"The problem is, Mario is a center back who's good with his feet. When he realizes his first passing option is unavailable, he won't just clear the ball. He'll use his dribbling skills to take the football away from danger before passing it to a teammate to reorganize."
"Even when he's in the penalty area."
"That's the reason Barcelona took interest in him."
Bang!
The football was disrupted by Deng Kai, shooting out behind him.
Gabi charged over.
