{Pass intercepted by Cuadrado!} the commentator exclaimed as Cuadrado popped up between Barella and Ashley Young, intercepting a pass by Barella.
Pushing the ball forward a few yards, he spotted Kulusevski darting forward and did not hesitate to send the ball flying forward into the man's path.
Since Ashley Young was still trailing behind Cuadrado, there was no one to stop the pass and the ball made it safely to Kulusevski who continued moving the ball forward.
As the left center back, Bastoni was faced with the choice to either rush out to meet Kulusevski and risk being caught out of position or continue tracking back while waiting for Kulusevski to cut inside.
Each method had it's pros and cons, but by staying in the center, the only problem that could arise was Kulusevski sending the ball over him or shooting early and compared to being caught out of position, this method suited Bastoni better.
