Bab 488: Dangerous Substitutes II

"This guy is fast!" Zachary was surprised as he quickly took note of De Rossi's position. But his surprise didn't delay his actions in the slightest.

He faked going right before altering his center of gravity and going left. But surprisingly, his feint didn't manage to throw off De Rossi. The Italian midfielder remained on Zachary like superglue, harassing him physically to stop his run toward AS Roma's side of the pitch.

However, Zachary, being a 6'4-foot giant, couldn't allow a 'small man' of 6 feet to bully him physically. With a sudden jerk of his shoulder, he shrugged off De Rossi before exchanging lightning-fast one-twos with Patrice Evra on the left flank. His give-and-go passing strategy worked wonders, and he beat De Rossi and two more AS Roma players before quickly arriving in the final third. And in some magical way, he cut into the pitch with an explosion of pace and soon started bearing down on AS Roma's box with unstoppable momentum.
