"There's no good way, kid. Van Dijk is way bigger than you. If you two collide head-on, you'll definitely suffer. If I were you, at that moment, I'd pass the ball a second earlier and avoid this defender who's as strong as a bull."
Chiwo said this to Tang Long in response to his inquiry.
"But my purpose in holding the ball is to deliberately attract him to come for the tackle, and then use the space left behind to pass the ball, giving Shaqiri a chance."
"Ah, I knew you would say that," Chiwo shrugged helplessly. "You're right, but you will get hurt. Sometimes, it's the fate we professional players can't escape, like your idol Ronaldo. If he didn't make those sharp turns and stops, his cruciate ligament might not have torn twice—but then, he wouldn't be the 'alien' Ronaldo."
"Mr. Chiwo, if you were to do it again, is there another way to attract Van Dijk as much as possible without getting injured through body contact?"
