Battle of the Caged Beasts

*Beep!*

Zhang Jun glanced helplessly at the linesman who held his flag up. It was the sixth time he had been caught offside.

Yao Wang was ever-aware of every move he made—all he needed to do was raise his hand at the right moment, and Zhang Jun would be caught offside.

So, Dingding kept unravelling themselves with openings that lured Shu Guang's forwards into offside positions at every turn—the loopy space constantly foiled Kaka's passes to Zhang Jun.

Kaka started to dribble by himself after more of his plays were foiled. However, was Cao Po just some display bauble?

He rushed at the Brazilian, ignoring his feints and slithering in for the ball. After a stumble, Kaka lost possession.

Yao Wang cleared the ball far upfield; Bin Fei headed it back to Fan Cunjie before the captain lobbed it to the left.

Lu Hui sped up to shake Chen Bo off. He got to the ball and crossed it!
