Chapitre 296: Chapter 295: The Instep Shows Its Might Again

This is also the biggest difference between Drogba and Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic likes to control the ball at his feet. No matter when you pass it to him, he can then assist, dribble back, turn to create a threat, and look for ways to shoot. He can play to his heart's content.

Drogba isn't that intelligent. When you give him the ball at his feet, he can only play to his strengths as a fulcrum... holding off defenders, passing back, setting up plays, and so on.

If you want Drogba's shooting ability, when you give him the football, you have to let there be some distance between him and the ball.

He isn't a poacher, but he is formidable at poaching!

...

The sixtieth minute.

Deco took it wide with a teammate, then suddenly kicked in a cross.

His cross wasn't aiming inside the penalty area, but rather to the back post, on the edge of the big penalty box where Postiga was positioned.

This vision... was nothing short of extraordinary.

Bang!
