Puyol, aware of his mistake, felt a bit awkward at this moment.
Torres ran from the center to the left, making it impossible for the chasing Alves to dare defend Huang Kaiwen.
Kaka was always positioned on the right side of Huang Kaiwen, ready to receive the ball, which made it difficult for a single defender to effectively challenge.
Today, Puyol, who was playing as a left-back, decided to wait a bit longer.
Piqué, that kid, had a good ability to challenge, so Puyol let Piqué press while he covered.
But at this moment, Mascherano charged directly forward.
Huang Kaiwen was advancing with the ball, exerting too much pressure on him.
Mascherano's aggressive move disrupted everything; Piqué, who was originally charging forward, halted.
Huang Kaiwen not only didn't accelerate but was actually decelerating.
Seeing this, Puyol knew things were going wrong.
"Careful!"
Puyol shouted loudly.
Yet Mascherano was unaffected, lunging straight at Huang Kaiwen.
