"Once the ball is passed, Viana, Drogba, and Deng Kai – the three central players positioned further forward – receive the ball without tight marking around them, and then this attack can be said to have directly reached the ninth gear, achieving the best situation."
"A normal player can accept a sixth to seventh gear."
"Key players aim for an eighth gear transition or take a long shot if they're confident."
"But the top-level players are those who can see and have the chance to pursue the ninth gear."
The camera captured this moment.
To outsiders, Trigella's head shaking was taken to mean he thought Matthaus's pass was a mistake.
Maxa seemed to have a different opinion, however.
Talk is talk, and squabbles are squabbles, but even Drogba was bewildered by that pass.
Golden Ball, you can pursue the highest level of passing all you want, but damn it, I'm not the highest-class receiver.
I'm mostly getting scolded for this ball control.
