After half a month of adaptation, Zhao Gang's dribbling skills were now top-notch.

However, he didn't want to expose them so quickly, so his dribbling looked a bit clumsy.

It was precisely because of this that the Atlanta coach and players were somewhat careless about Zhao Gang's breakthroughs.

Unexpectedly, this carelessness gave Zhao Gang an opportunity.

Hillo's clever positioning and superb shooting skills allowed Norwich to take a temporary lead at home.

In the first half, neither side scored again.

In the second half, the Atlanta coach clearly made special arrangements to target Zhao Gang.

This made it difficult for Norwich players to pass the ball to Zhao Gang, and even if Zhao Gang could barely receive the ball, it was difficult for him to find a suitable angle to deliver a fatal blow.

They could only pass the ball back and forth in positions far from the penalty area.

It was difficult to launch a decent counterattack.

Atlanta, having conceded a goal, deliberately stabilized their defense and slowly looked for opportunities to advance.

Even after conceding a goal, they didn't panic.

This was different from the previous performances of Arsenal and Manchester United.

Arsenal and Manchester United were eager to succeed and wanted to quickly defeat Norwich through offense, which led to a fire in their own backyard. Norwich seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal blow.

"Atlanta's defense is not top-notch, but as long as they don't allow Norwich to launch a counterattack and force them into a positional battle, it's actually difficult for Norwich to find a chance to score. The through ball that Zhao Gang sent in the first half, it’s possible that only that one moment of opportunity was captured by him and Hillo. It’s really difficult to find such an opportunity again.

While Atlanta, who are behind, have not lost their patience. Relying on the players' individual abilities and teamwork, they firmly control the ball, looking for attacking opportunities.

In this case, Atlanta will hardly make any more mistakes, and it will be a little difficult for Norwich to score again.

But Norwich fans don't need to worry, because Norwich is currently in the lead."

Atlanta slowed down their attack, and Norwich gave up possession again.

There weren't as many intense moments as in the first half.

Atlanta kept pressing forward, using their skilled ball control to keep Norwich's players moving, trying to find opportunities in the passing.

However, not every passing team is called Barcelona.

To win in soccer, you don't rely on ball control; you rely on getting the ball into the opponent's goal!

Barcelona's ball control is for scoring goals. They have Xavi, Iniesta, and later Messi, who dropped back into midfield.

They can use passing to deliver fatal through balls.

Atlanta's passing is more like passing for the sake of passing.

They were worried about Norwich's counterattack, so they played somewhat timidly.

It was like Spain after Iniesta and Xavi retired: having possession but not scoring.

"Atlanta has abandoned the speed advantage on the wings, trying to use ball control to stretch Norwich's defense... This kind of play is a great thing for Norwich!" Henry understood Atlanta's tactics.

"Norwich has never been a team that needs possession to win games. They've faced top attacking teams like Dortmund, Manchester United, and Arsenal and still managed to reach the Europa League semi-finals, relying on their machine-like precise defense! They can even set up a solid defense without Zhao's participation. Atlanta's style of play is unlikely to be effective. They seemed calm after conceding the goal in the first half, but in reality, they've become a little cautious."

As Henry expected, although Atlanta had the advantage in possession and had a few decent central breakthroughs that put the ball into the penalty area, the ball was either cleared by Mendy or shot high under the pressure of the defenders.

For a full twenty-five minutes, Atlanta's performance wasn't as good as it was at the beginning of the game.

As Mendy once again vigorously headed the ball out of the penalty area, Feman received the ball and quickly dribbled it forward.

Atlanta's defenders were near the center circle, observing the Norwich players' movements while quickly retreating, preparing to defend.

And Zhao Gang, who had run back to the midfield, raised his hand.

Give me the ball!

Feman was very willing to pass the ball over.

Because Zhao Gang was playing more actively now.

As the team's core player, he should show such a performance, actively calling for the ball.

Although Zhao Gang had called for the ball before, most of the time he was running into open spaces with no defenders around him.

Now, even with defenders around him, he would actively call for the ball.

This would give his teammates greater confidence.

Feman made a long pass.

It was a bit long. Zhao Gang could have used his head to stop the ball, but he didn't. He quickly took two steps forward, then jumped high, using the outside of his foot to bring the ball down.

"Zhao... That's a beautiful touch! But he's added difficulty for himself. He could have gently nodded the ball down with his head, but he didn't. It seems he doesn't have much confidence in his heading ability."

Zhao Gang shook off the defender and quickly dribbled the ball forward.

In desperation, the defender dove to the ground, reaching out to grab Zhao Gang's shorts.

The experience was good, a tactical foul that wouldn't draw a card and could directly disrupt the attack.

Zhao Gang's speed wasn't great. If it were someone like Bale, the defender wouldn't be able to grab his clothes at all and would only see his back.

Zhao Gang, whose shorts were grabbed, grimaced and swung his arms, trying to rush forward.

How could the defender let him get his way?

He had already committed a foul. How could he let him continue dribbling?

He held on tightly...

Riiiip...

Zhao Gang's shorts were pulled down directly...

The defender was dragged forward two steps by Zhao Gang, and his shorts were pulled down to his knees.

Oh...

The fans in the stands had their mouths half-open, craning their necks to watch.

"Wow..." Ollie's eyes seemed to sparkle as she covered her little mouth.

Although the camera only flashed for a moment, and the jersey covered half of it...

But the bulging undulations caught her attention at a glance.

"This action is a bit much; he might get a card..."

"Yeah, it is... Ollie, why do you look like you're in a daze?" Henry heard Ollie's exclamation and saw her covering her little mouth as if she had seen something incredible.

"Huh? No, no, I felt his action was a bit much and he might get a card..." Ollie shook her head vigorously. She remembered someone saying this before, so she repeated it.

"Ollie... What are you looking at????" Henry's face was incredulous.

James covered his forehead and chuckled.

Ollie was a little flustered. Of course, she was watching the game; what else could she be looking at?

The replay showed it again, but there was no head-on shot. After all, it was a bit inappropriate. It only showed Zhao Gang's side view with his shorts pulled down.

"I remember there was a head-on shot at the beginning, wasn't there, Ollie? You definitely saw it clearly."

"Yeah, there was... No, I didn't see it clearly. I was always watching the ball..."

"Haha..."

"Oh, you two are really..." Ollie covered her face, her face flushed.

"Actually, this is normal, isn't it, Your Majesty? If there's a beautiful woman on camera, we'll unconsciously focus on some of her more attractive features. It's human nature!"

"Yeah, it's the most normal thing. Ollie, you really don't need to be so shy. It would be weird if you didn't notice it."

The two said it in all seriousness.

Hearing them say this, Ollie relaxed a little.

Suddenly, the two covered their faces at the same time, almost unable to hold back their laughter.

"Oh... you two!"

"I just... I did look, but only because Zhao was wearing the brand I endorse! Absolutely no other meaning!" Ollie panicked, and a logo finally flashed in her mind.

Although it was blurry, Zhao Gang seemed to be wearing ultimoh, which she endorsed.

"Oh!!!" The two stopped smiling and sat up straight.

Ollie thought she was too smart, being able to notice such details. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

James and Henry didn't exchange any words, then suddenly covered their faces again.

They burst out laughing.

See, do we believe your lies?

Ollie looked like she had lost all hope in life.

Many female fans in the stands also habitually looked over.

There was no other way. Opposite sexes attract each other, and they would definitely look at the important parts if there was a chance.

Unexpectedly, they never expected it.

Judging from that curve, how magnificent must it be?

Zhao was so fierce on the field.

Was Little Zhao also so majestic?
