"Through pass, through pass! Just make the through pass!" On the bench, Toure silently clenched his fist.
Sterling made a significant diagonal cut from the wing towards the center, finding an excellent gap;
Tang Long tapped the ball to the right, preparing to connect with Sterling—

Captain Kompany had stormed over!
Kompany intercepted Banega's pass near the box and passed the ball to Tang Long.
Yet he did not stay back as a central defender typically would, but immediately charged forward!
As he swept past Tang Long like the wind, a thought flashed through Tang Long's mind!
[Kompany's competitive spirit boosted by 200%: The outcome of the match will be decided in the last ten minutes!]
This was a line Kompany mentioned in his autobiography.
Tang Long had just finished reading it and was deeply impressed by that line.
