"Pop!"
Hot Bird took the lead and stopped the ball behind the opponent's defense with a kick.
His success rate with this technical move wasn't high, but luckily this time he had luck on his side!
A chance for conversion came!
"Thud thud thud...!"
Gervinho drove the ball straight down the right flank while constantly observing the situation in the box.
After Ma'el showcased his aerial and header skills, the winger on the opposite side rarely opted to find Van Persie directly in crossing.
Most of the time, he faced the marking of two tall central defenders, and passing to Van Persie was clearly less threatening than passing to Ma'el.
Van Persie understood this, so he tried to run forward as much as possible each time, pulling away the two central defenders and creating more space for Ma'el at the back post.
"Bang!!"
Gervinho delivered a pass straight to the back post, the ball moving at a high speed.
