Kapitel 474: Diego Simeone's Unease

Carlos Tévez could literally feel his heart hammering like a drum as he beat the offside trap and connected with Andrea Pirlo's defense-splitting pass. He was obviously aware that only less than 25 minutes remained before the 90-minute-mark. So, he was determined to do all it took to utilize the opportunity and put his team ahead before it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

Like a lightning bolt, he cut through the drizzle, his short strides eating up yards of space toward the goal like mad. His level of focus had already reached its zenith, allowing him to remain composed as he prodded the ball forward. And when he noticed the keeper stepping forward to meet him, he squared his body before trying to chip the ball into the inside of the far post.
