So this time when Chen Zhong got the ball, although he was somewhat unwilling, he still complied with Atletico Madrid's strategy and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the flank.
Diego Simeone smiled, as he didn't believe Cristiano Ronaldo could perform well under their prepared defense, especially since Atletico Madrid's players were already moving as Chen Zhong made the pass.
"Chen Zhong distributed the ball to the flank."
"C. Ronaldo receives it."
"In front of him, there are all Atletico Madrid's defenders."
"Will he pass it back?"
"What?"
"He forces a breakthrough!"
Almost everyone thought Cristiano Ronaldo would choose to pass back, even Chen Zhong assumed so. After all, with Atletico Madrid's players already in position, it seemed the best choice for the Portuguese, not "adept" at dribbling past opponents, to pass the ball.
However, the Portuguese did not conform to most people's expectations of passing.
