This confrontation ended in a draw between the two.
If it weren't for Gualin pulling back at the last moment, he might have already been faked out and fallen, watching Tang Long dash into the penalty area.
Gualin took a deep breath, thinking it was a close call!
"Tang, again!"
Ranocchia shouted, once again making a very risky pass from the center-back position, directly passing straight down the middle.
Initially, after Toure returned the ball to Ranocchia, he pointed to Sagna on the right flank, signaling him to adjust the rhythm and play on the right side.
However, after observing the recent 1-on-1 between Tang Long and Gualin, Ranocchia had keenly detected Gualin's fatigue; he was on the verge of being broken through!
So to keep the pressure on Gualin, Ranocchia ignored Toure's commands and quickly returned the ball to Tang Long again.
Tang Long understood instantly, grabbing the ball and charging at Gualin.
Caught him with a surprise counterattack!
