"It's Drogba again! Deng Kai is looking for Drogba—he seems to have a lot of confidence in Drogba."
"Remember, Drogba was completely marked out of the game by Stam last time!"
"Drogba finds an opening! What's going on? Stam didn't keep up with Drogba!"
"However, Deng Kai's pass was a bit too deep, and Drogba couldn't directly take a shot. If the pass had been lighter, Drogba wouldn't have been able to shake off Stam in time."
Turning speed!
Lazio's coach, Roberto Mancini, furrowed his brow.
Stam's almost singular flaw had been, unexpectedly, exploited to the full by Deng Kai.
Don't think that slow turning speed is an easy weakness to exploit—Stam could totally compensate for this disadvantage with his physique, just a bit of physical opposition, and he could suppress the speed of the opposing forwards.
And there was Nesta backing him up.
Yet Deng Kai continuously targeted Stam, each time more sharply than the last.
