Bang!
After Talista's shot was saved, Sporting Lisbon immediately launched a counter-attack.
They have a player who is very adept at executing counter-attacking tactics.
Bang!
Sporting Lisbon's midfielder seized the first drop point and then sent the ball forward again.
Averro, who just won the Golden Boy Award, sprinted down the field, cut inside after receiving the ball, and dribbled past the flustered Naji during his run.
Naji is too tall, with large strides, so Averro used a nutmeg dribbling technique on this play.
Naji knew the ball was going through his legs, but aside from watching Averro go by, he had no other options.
Big players have their advantages and disadvantages.
Later on, players like Salah became obsessed with nutmeg dribbling during running, due to the increasing number of tall central defenders.
This greatly improves the success rate of nutmeg dribbling during a run, and once past the opponent, they often cannot catch up.
Bang!
