Elian took a deep breath, his mind racing as he analyzed the situation. The Italian players were invigorated, their confidence growing with every successful attack. England's two-goal cushion had almost evaporated, and the once-commanding lead now felt perilously thin.
The Game Reading ability illuminated the pitch in Elian's mind, showing him patterns that others might miss. Italy's strategy was clear—they were exploiting England's flanks, overloading Sawyer and Jasper, and forcing mistakes. England needed to counter this, but the players looked rattled, their communication faltering under the relentless pressure.
Elian sprinted toward Milo as the midfielder received a pass from Archer. "Slow it down!" he shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. "Keep possession!"
