Tang Long became fascinated by Ronaldo's dribbling style.
During the morning training, he asked Manchester City's technical analyst to film him specifically.
After returning, he repeatedly observed his own pendulum dribbling posture in the footage.
Using 0.1x speed replay.
He watched almost frame by frame.
After watching, Tang Long pulled out the video of Ronaldo's pendulum dribbling that he had long collected on his phone.
These two pendulum dribbling videos, spanning nearly 20 years apart, were continuously compared in Tang Long's mind.
Through comparison, Tang Long found it wasn't difficult to notice that although his pendulum dribble was very similar to Ronaldo's, there seemed to be something that wasn't quite right, as if it was missing that certain something.
It's not just the pendulum; other dribbling methods, like the common single-leg feint, Matthews, and even the simplest flicks, still lacked Ronaldo's charm and were not as deceptive.
