As a result, the Gunners had to rely more on Hazard and Rosicky to pass the ball to Wang Shuo.
But let's not forget, AC Milan was playing with three defensive midfielders.
Hazard, a master of breakthroughs, was ineffective whether on the left flank, the left inside channel, or even when he shifted to the center. Consequently, throughout the match, Arsenal's flanks were shut down, and their center was trapped. The most telling statistic of their predicament was that 70 minutes into the match, they hadn't earned a single corner kick.
No matter how strong Wang Shuo's individual abilities were, he couldn't break free from AC Milan's ironclad defense.
