Not only did he complete the interception, but Lu Yang also gained control of the ball at the very first moment.
Bam!
Lu Yang got up and lifted his foot almost simultaneously.
The soccer ball shot towards the Nice team's backfield like a cannonball.
Totti's spoon pass!
Nice was on the counterattack, and in order to meet Kaint, their teammates in the backfield had rushed forward, with some heading towards Lu Yang and Kaint.
But as a result, this left a huge gap.
Sogel had good habits, and he wasn't in the offside area. Once Lu Yang passed the ball, his speed instantly kicked in.
As a tall player, he was somewhat faster than Nice's center-backs.
Even a big central forward like Sogel could use his speed to eat up the opponent and carry the ball single-handedly.
This was practically a textbook example of a counter-counterattack.
Sogel controlled the ball three meters outside the penalty area and continued dribbling two steps.
