Also praying in his heart!
Shoot, Marcelo! You can do it, shoot!
Guardiola would rather let Marcelo take a shot that might score rather than have him make a reverse pass, allowing Chen Zhong to charge from the back and unleash a heavy cannon.
In Guardiola's view, Chen Zhong's heavy cannon was obviously more threatening!
At this moment, Marcelo was also facing a choice, striding forward, avoiding Puyol's sliding tackle.
The excited factor was bouncing in his oxygen-deficient brain, and he felt extremely thrilled. Looking at the short distance ahead, facing the approaching Pique, Marcelo's heart was pounding.
Get past him, get past him, get past him!
Then take the shot, become the team's hero under the spotlight.
And then...
And then?
Marcelo's originally excited state calmed down significantly, he slowed his steps, stared at the approaching Pique, then caught sight of the advancing Chen Zhong out of the corner of his eye.
Yes.
