He said there would be a day he'd prove himself.
At that time, he hoped to be right in front of him.
However, in the last match, Abate didn't even make it to the substitutes, but he appeared in this one.
This player, praised by Galliani as a "track athlete" and "turbo engine", really has his unique tactics against Cristiano Ronaldo.
Whether it's chasing, assisting defense, or even tactical fouls, using any means, although he couldn't completely make the Portuguese disappear, Abate at least maximized the limitation on the Portuguese.
In fact, Abate's presence forced Chen Zhong to focus more on the right half where Di Maria was roaming.
And when the ball was passed to Di Maria, it basically meant that C. Ronaldo was out of the play, and the ball would generally end up with Higuain.
"Real Madrid's attack!"
"Chen Zhong with the ball."
"C. Ronaldo raises his hand for the ball."
"C. Ronaldo's performance in this match isn't impressive."
