However, he knew very well that the confrontation between the two had just begun.
He must chase back!
Ma'el can't devour him like he did with Alaba and Raphinha!
"Robben was passed; Ma'el's speed is incredible; Lam must maintain his retreat speed to slow him down!
"If he falls back too slowly and can't keep up with Ma'el's rhythm, he might easily be overtaken with one step; he's almost the last defender left!
"Slipped! Lam stumbled and couldn't maintain coordination while retreating at high speed, even if that's his forte!
"Bayern Munich's backfield is empty!"
Forty meters from the goal, following Lam's forced error, there are no more defenders in front of Ma'el. He steps the ball toward the vicinity of the penalty area, ready to face Neuer!
"Boom boom boom!!"
The noise of Robben and Lam chasing back sounded behind him; he glanced sideways and found that both were catching up slowly.
