Diego's final pass was a cautious handoff to Tang Long on the wing.
Tang Long knew that in facing the opposition's bunker defense, the key was to get the defenders in their guarded zones moving;
because once they start moving, openings and weaknesses will appear.
He took a step left with his left foot, dipped his left shoulder as if going towards the baseline, then quickly flicked the ball inward with his right foot, swiftly bypassing the defender on the right, cutting inside towards the center.
As Tang Long cut inside to the upper left corner of the penalty box, right-back Smith and defensive midfielder Art came forward to surround him.
"Prevent him from shooting from distance!"
Facing their pincer move, Tang Long didn't shoot from distance but feigned a move and continued dribbling inward, reaching the top of the box.
He had dribbled horizontally for over ten meters from the wing towards the center, always lingering in the most dangerous areas.
