Chapter 540: The Strategy is the Counterattack I

*FWEEEEEEE*

The referee blew the whistle at 9:45 PM. The cheers around the stands immediately hit a thunderous peak as Josip Drmic, Bayer 04 Leverkusen's center-forward, kicked off the game by sending a backward pass all the way to his backline.

"Pa..."

The sound of a boot meeting synthetic rubber sounded as Emir Spahic, Bayer 04 Leverkusen's center-back, connected with the ball from Josip Drmic. The defender only took a single touch before flicking it to his left to find Wendell, the left-back.

Wendell, on his part, connected with the ball close to the touchline on the left flank. Then, before any Juventus player could close him down, he whirled around and fed the ball along the touchline to find Heung-min Son, Bayer 04 Leverkusen's left-back for the night.
