Chapter 59: A Stroke of Genius

Lisbon Athletic failed to seize the opportunity, and it was Turin's turn to grasp it.

In the 79th minute, Deng Kai employed the same tactic, dribbling horizontally.

However, his move was anticipated by the opposition, who intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack.

Quagliarella received the ball and managed a long shot despite being surrounded by two players.

He created a corner kick.

Afterward, the corner kick taken by Turin was again contested by Quagliarella, whose header went just under a meter wide of the post.

Quagliarella tugged at his hair, lamenting his bad luck.

But everyone could see that Quagliarella and Turin's form were improving.

At least better than Lisbon Athletic's.

Deng Kai promptly communicated with his team's defensive midfielder Semedo and center backs Angelo and Manuel, instructing them to pay extra attention to Quagliarella and that fouling him was an option if necessary.
