The Brazilian's positioning was excellent. His run made it impossible for Götze to pass to Wang Shuo.
Furthermore, Wang Shuo was being shadowed by Nesta and Van Bommel.
With no other option, Götze was forced to play the ball out to the left flank.
Reus took the ball and passed it further down the left wing. Schmelzer overlapped, received the pass, and sent a cross to the near post.
It wasn't a great opportunity.
But Wang Shuo was confident he could convert this chance into a goal.
The only obstacle was Nesta.
It was as if the man had read Dortmund's passing lanes from the start. He shadowed Wang Shuo relentlessly, and the two of them raced toward the landing spot of the cross.
'Wang Shuo was fast?'
It didn't matter. The physical battle between them was constant. Nesta used it to prevent Wang Shuo from bursting into a sprint.
After dragging Wang Shuo's pace down to his own level, he then used his vast experience to block him.
