The experienced number eight player quickly retreated and positioned himself between Lu Yang and Morici.
This eliminated the possibility of a direct line pass between Lu Yang and Morici.
The ping-pong wall pass wouldn't work.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria's right-back quickly chased back and surprisingly caught up with Lu Yang. His defensive experience was equally seasoned, and he didn't rashly go for a tackle.
Because during high-speed movement, if you make a move to intercept the ball but fail to get the football, you will be instantly left far behind by the opponent.
If you don't understand the reason, you just need to stretch out your right foot towards the right while running fast to know why.
But be careful not to stretch too far, and don't run too fast to avoid accidental self-harm.
So, this right-back only maintained a parallel position with Lu Yang, keeping a horizontal distance of nearly two meters to prevent Lu Yang from cutting inside.
