But Bai Zhami's pass wasn't a curved pass like that.
Instead, when the supporting foot and the soccer ball are very close, the other foot comes over to pass the ball.
At the moment of passing, the player's body leans forward, and because the supporting foot is too close to the soccer ball, the leg hitting the ball feels awkward, overall creating an awkward movement.
Yet, this allows the ball to roll to the passer's diagonal back.
If the traditional cross is to let the ball pass over the defender.
Then this pass is meant to let the ball go behind the defender.
Gordon is very fast, Bai Zhami's pass forward would likely be blocked by him, so he could only use this pass.
And indeed the ball went behind Gordon.
Even Gordon, with all his experience, couldn't reach the ball despite timely lifting his back leg.
He was too fast.
In the center, Talista galloped in, receiving the ball just inside the penalty area, and unleashed a powerful shot.
