Bhatt turned, but Henderson was already lunging at him. Instead of trying to dodge, Bhatt used Henderson's momentum. He performed a quick "La Croqueta," shifting the ball from his right to his left in a heartbeat. Henderson flew past him, sliding uselessly on the damp grass.
Bhatt looked up. He saw Declan Whittaker making a run behind the Foxmere right-back.
"Now!" Bhatt hissed, sliding the ball into the channel.
Whittaker reached the ball just before it went out for a goal kick. He didn't have time to settle. He whipped a cross into the box.
Luis Navarro was there, battling with Miller. The two giants collided in mid-air. It was a clash of titans. Navarro got his head to the ball, but under the immense pressure, the header went just wide of the post.
[> "So close!" <] Peter Walsh exclaimed. [> "Navarro wins the header, but Miller did just enough to put him off. That's the first real warning sign for Foxmere." <]
