Messi is undeniably strong, but he is always a forward, his position relatively fixed;
Whereas Tang Long's position is extremely variable, like a phantom on the pitch, inscrutable.
The referee's crisp whistle marked the formal start of the second half of the match.
Goding and Saul charged at Tang Long like wolves seeing prey, eyes glowing, ready to press him tightly throughout the game, vowing to lock him down completely.
But in the next second, their eyes widened in surprise—Tang Long had unexpectedly retreated!
This retreat was not the usual move from forward to attacking midfield, but directly to a much further back position, standing solidly in front of the center-backs Stones and Kompany.
"Hmm? Why is he running to the defensive midfield position?" Goding murmured to himself in confusion.
"This is too deep, should we follow or not?" Saul was equally shocked, turning to look at Goding.
