Kolarov seized the opportunity and also began to cut inside, taking advantage of Toure and Ranocchia pulling away the opposing players, and positioned himself at the defensive midfield spot.
With this maneuver, Tang Long found the middle open, and Kolarov passed the ball to him, immediately starting to move forward again.
This surge by the three defenders was like three rushing streams suddenly flooding the field, driving the movement of other players.
Tang Long knew that there was no reason to slow down at this moment; the entire formation was moving forward, and he had to make good use of this wave, for if missed, his teammates' stamina would decline, possibly missing the second chance.
The attack was initiated from the left flank, and Tang Long decided to engage Navas on the right.
He dribbled towards Navas, drawing a Manchester United player's defense, then nudged the ball to him.
