After Lu Yang's rallying cry, he was now very close to becoming the midfield core of the team.
In the 37th minute of the first half, what Lu Yang had been worried about finally happened.
Finger stubbornly insisted on attacking what seemed to be a defensive vulnerability but was actually not after verification.
If the Italy Team had a three-forward formation with a right winger stationed behind Robben, that weakness could be exploited.
But Italy uses a two-forward formation.
Bam!
Joseph once again intercepted Finger and immediately made a long pass, finding Robben ahead.
Without Finger, Robben's cut inside faced almost no obstruction.
Scamacca was instantly muscled out by Robben.
With Finger's "help," Scamacca's performance so far has been utterly inefficient.
He couldn't advance during attacks and always failed to preemptively block Robben on defense.
Scamacca felt helpless.
Could Robben's cuts inside be blocked?
