De Rossi hasn't charged up yet, but Rakitic has already felt the pressure.
As a vice-captain, he can exert a strong sense of pressure in frontal defense.
After observing his teammates' positions, Rakitic hurriedly turned around and made a lateral pass.
Antonini, upon receiving the ball, immediately advanced a step forward and noticed that Huang Kaiwen signaled to the left.
The unmarked Huang Kaiwen led Simprisio away from the left flank, and Antonini promptly found Torres with a pass.
Burdizzo, however, didn't relax his vigilance because of this.
Torres' speed was indeed remarkable.
But just as he prepared to make a steal, Torres suddenly used his left foot to cut horizontally and began dribbling.
This move unsettled Roma's defense.
Hu An decided to go for a direct steal, but Torres running made a back pass to Kaka.
De Rossi, tracking back, made a sliding tackle from the side as soon as he could.
Kaka, a bit flustered, avoided it and quickly made a back pass.
