Ancelotti's face was filled with delight on the sidelines; he hadn't expected Chen Zhong to score so soon after being substituted into the game. Chen Zhong's relentless running on the field, his efforts in both offense and defense, brought joy to Ancelotti.
Beckham seemed inspired by Chen Zhong. Three minutes later, he dribbled down the right wing and showcased a signature "Beckham's Arc" shot.
Chen Zhong realized the gap between him and Beckham.
His long pass merely had an arc!
But Beckham's long pass could guide his positioning.
Chen Zhong surged from the backfield forward, pursuing the ball's landing point, charging into the right side of the penalty area. The ball perfectly bypassed Bambalini nearby, landing just right in front of him.
If Beckham's long pass were described in two words, it would be "comfortable."
Bambalini attempted to use his body to shove Chen Zhong aside, but ultimately lost balance and fell to the ground while tripping Chen Zhong as well.
"Whistle!"
