Seeing Huang Kaiwen blocking in front of Edmilson, he could only make a long pass to shift to the left wing.
Abidal stepped forward and failed to control the ball, his left foot deflecting it towards the middle.
Guti quickly rushed over to press, Abidal's strong physical qualities showing, though he was farther from the ball, he almost reached it at the same time as Guti.
Both extended their feet to hook the ball, but neither managed to pull it to their side.
However, Guti was clearly at a disadvantage and looked like he was about to fall.
Abidal exerted force with his legs, Guti's body leaned forward, his hands quickly pressing on the turf, lifting his left calf to poke the ball again from behind.
The ball rebounded off Abidal's foot towards Guti, Guti lifted his left hand, letting the ball roll under him, using his hands and feet to adjust and block Abidal.
Gago stepped up to respond, with Guti who was hit from behind by Abidal, managing to pass the ball away.
