The Milan players couldn't help but want to pick up the pace of their attack.
Kroos launched a straight pass to Van Persie, who immediately tapped with his left foot and burst forward.
The professor's claim that Robin can play as an attacking midfielder, winger, and forward was a bit exaggerated, but Van Persie's skill is indeed quite good.
Müller was almost caught off guard and let Van Persie pass by.
But he couldn't shake off Müller.
Müller kept following Van Persie as he ran back.
Then Schweinsteiger rushed in.
At this point, Van Persie became clear-headed and quickly turned around to back-pass.
But Robben had anticipated this.
He sprinted directly towards Kroos.
Kroos was only starting to run to meet the ball.
However, the difference in their speed was quite evident.
With no other choice, Kroos decided to slide and knock the ball away, landing it right at Schweinsteiger's feet.
