In a nutshell, no matter what you do, I'm definitely not leaving my defensive position.
Ronaldo passed the football back to Wu Xudong, who was overlapping from behind, and then cut inside without the ball.
Bang!
After receiving the ball, Wu Xudong took a couple of steps towards the baseline before crossing.
Blanco leapt high into the air, using his back to block the football at the near post.
Blanco is indeed a champion-caliber center back; he had judged from the outset that Wu Xudong's crosses were subpar, unable to produce precise, high-arching header balls.
Thus, Wu Xudong's crosses usually appeared in the form of low drives.
Or even as sweeps.
Once he sent high crosses, the football tended to float, not posing much of a threat.
This was also one of the key reasons why Wu Xudong was benched in favor of Maicon.
Maicon's crosses were, relatively speaking, much more exquisite.
Even Evra's crosses were slightly better than those of Wu Xudong.
