Chapter 525: Making the Opponent Feel Hopeless

On the pitch, the highly agile Stephan Lichtsteiner was already cutting through the right flank like a high-speed Swizz express train. He fed the ball past Christian Maggio, Napoli's left-back, and beat the man for pace. Then, with the most pin-point of passes, he picked out Fernando Llorente, the Juventus striker, who happened to have just run into an unmarked pocket of space between the two Napoli center-backs.

"Pa..."

Fernando Llorente controlled the ball mid-stride without slowing down. He quickly accelerated toward Napoli's box, hoping to leave the opposing center-backs in the dust. However, his speed was not impressive enough, and only a few seconds later, Kalidou Koulibaly, the no-nonsense defender, caught up to him and tried to tackle the ball from him.
