If the score is equalized only by the seventy or eighty-minute mark, will there be enough time to score the winning goal?
Tang Long instinctively believes that to break through this tight defense, the key still lies with the wings!
So, as soon as the second half begins, Tang Long intentionally directs the ball towards the two wings.
Right-back Sagna receives a direct pass from Tang Long, immediately goes to the baseline, attempting to use his speed to forcefully break through and cross past Yuto Nagatomo!
However, unexpectedly, this Japanese full-back, only a little over 1.7 meters tall, doesn't look strong, but has a tenacity in defense.
With two swift kicks, he speeds up, slides, and tackles both the ball and the man, flipping Sagna over!
Such defense wouldn't be penalized in the Premier League.
Yuto Nagatomo stands up, high-fives with his teammates, looking full of confidence.
"Good play, Yuto Nagatomo!"
Norwich's coach Neil also claps excitedly from the sidelines.
