"Delarre plays it back, Lam receives the ball."
"Kaint drops deeper to pull out a triangular passing lane. Lam passes, Morici on the flank plays it on."
"Oh! Morici doesn't even take a touch, he fires a quick pass straight to Lu Yang ahead of him."
"Lu Yang takes off! What pace!"
"Luckily, Inter's left back is fully focused and doesn't get completely beaten by Lu Yang."
"Lu Yang on the ball…"
Lu Yang drives quickly down the right, mixing up his tempo.
The moment he slows down, he nudges the ball with his foot, and the ball flies straight through the moving legs of Inter's left back.
A nutmeg on the run!
This is a move a lot of top wide players love to use.
Representative examples: Robben, Messi, Salah!
The cost of this pass is very low, but the payoff is huge.
If it goes through, it's a piece of skill that fans can't make sense of.
The defender clearly had them contained, so how is it that with just a feint the ball seems to "phase" through his body like a magic trick?
