Chapter 73: Great Team Link-Up

Axel getting fouled right at the edge of the box meant that Manchester City had a free kick in a very good spot now and Merino seemed to be the one stepping up to take it as he could be seen standing over the ball.

"A wonderful chance for Manchester City to take the lead once again. Merino has converted seven out of the sixteen free kicks he has taken this season, will he add this one to the number?"

While Merino was waiting for the referee's whistle with his gaze on West Ham United's wall inside the box, Axel seemed to have been able to sit up on the floor.

Whether it was because he was feeling better now or he just wanted to see the free kick was something everyone had to find out later.

With everything set now, the referee blew his whistle and now it was time to see what the winger could do.

The goalkeeper was jumping on his goal line at that moment, and he had his gaze on him as he slowly took two steps backward before taking a deep breath.
