"You lost!"
Twenty minutes later, Yun Chu and Tan Cheng were both sitting on the ground, panting heavily without any concern for their image. Yun Chu teased while reaching out to smooth the cowlick on Tan Cheng's head.
"You didn't win either!" Tan Cheng retorted unceremoniously.

In offense and defense, especially in one-on-one situations, the attacking side always has the advantage because they hold the initiative, while the defender has to react passively to the attacker's moves. That's why in soccer, when a forward faces off with a defender one-on-one, it's usually the defender at a disadvantage. Therefore, many defenders who can't stop the forwards might use aggressive tactics to foul them in a moment of recklessness.
