Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 102 Transfermarkt's 2018 revaluation shows his value tied for first in Asia!

The Roma vs. AC Milan match took place that evening.

The temperature is 4℃.

Humidity 78%.

Both teams' players were dressed neatly and made ample preparations to keep warm before coming out to warm up.

Players like Lorenzo Pellegrini, who are particularly sensitive to the cold, even wore gloves.

The fans in the stands were filled with excitement, but they did not neglect the physical defense.

Down jackets, scarves, neck warmers, earmuffs, gloves—they have it all.

Both teams made changes to their starting lineups for the weekend league match.

Roma's starting lineup, mainly consisting of Chang Huan, Dzeko, and De Rossi, is on standby.

For AC Milan, Çalhanoğlu, André Silva, and Bonucci were also on the bench.

Both teams, lacking key players, clearly lacked offensive firepower.

They always failed to create opportunities at crucial moments.

Unable to find opportunities on offense, both teams prioritized defense.

First, make sure we don't concede a goal.

Then, the goal is to break through the opponent's goal.

Neither side created any decent chances in the entire first half.

This resulted in no goals scored in the first half.

The atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was great, with home fans unleashing their passion and deafening cheers coming in waves.

The second half began with the teams switching sides.

Both teams focused on defense in the early stages.

Until the main players were gradually brought in.

That's when the situation in the game changed.

The level of offensive threat is increasing.

20th minute of the second half.

Chang Huan, who had just turned 18, came on as a substitute for Perotti.

This adjustment had an immediate and significant impact on Rome's attack.

The threat level is off the charts.

Chang Huan brought on Roma's most threatening attack since the start of the match.

71 minutes.

He received the ball in the middle of the attacking third, dribbled past fellow substitute Çalhanoğlu, and then played a series of one-touch passes with Gonalons, Ünder, and Schick to the right side of the penalty area.

He faked a shot and then dribbled past substitute Bonucci before delivering a selfless cross.

I never expected this.

Lorenzo Pellegrini's shot from the penalty spot went wide.

"Oh oh oh—"

The home team fans in the stands instinctively gasped as they watched the ball go wide of the post.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, having missed a golden opportunity, clutched his head in his hands, clearly shocked that he had squandered such a chance.

Head coach Di Francesco was ready to celebrate the goal.

That's it?

He cursed and turned to Tomé, saying, "Call Edin (Dzeko) over here."

One minute later, the ball went dead, and Roma made their final adjustment.

Dzeko↑ Schick↓

AC Milan legend Gennaro Gattuso also made a lineup adjustment in the 76th minute.

Key midfielder Biglia is on the field.

but----

Roma scored the first goal.

Chang Huan, who had the absolute right to shoot, received the ball on the right edge of the penalty area and cut inside.

He dribbled past Bonaventura, Localit, and Kessie with a series of feints, but his follow-up shot with the inside of his left foot was blocked by Bonucci.

But he was lucky; the ball bounced right in front of him.

Entering and exiting incorrectly.

Chang Huan pushed the ball forward without stopping it, even though it had bounced to calf height.

The ball rolled into the penalty area through the gap exposed by Bonucci's block.

Dzeko understood immediately, blocking Musacchio behind him and adjusting his footwork to meet the ball.

Dolnarumma abandons his goal and attacks!

Gianluigi Donnarumma, an AC Milan youth academy product, has mediocre talent. His return to AC Milan last summer was entirely due to his exceptionally talented younger brother, Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Faced with the high quality of the Dzeko, the low-scoring approach was too far away to reach.

The football crashed into the snow-white net, and the home team fans in all the stands erupted simultaneously.

The entire Stadio Olimpico in Rome erupted in cheers, with deafening shouts echoing through the sky.

Inside the penalty area, AC Milan players helplessly spread their hands, clearly powerless against conceding the goal.

Head coach Gattuso stood in the technical area, shaking his head repeatedly with pursed lips.

The players did an excellent job on defense.

But that's football.

Trailing behind, AC Milan had no way out but to intensify their attack.

Leading Rome neither feared nor avoided their sharp edge.

Instead, they adopted a high-pressing strategy to limit the space for Milan players to pass the ball.

The ball was passed out by center-back Bonucci, who was forced to launch a long ball, but it was blocked by Dzeko.

It was a close call; the ball landed in Musacchio's area of ​​play, and he kicked it towards Roma's half.

Juan Jesus held off André Silva, the ball flew over their heads, bounced off the ground, and was caught by goalkeeper Skorupski.

Roma slowly built their attack forward from the back, focusing on patient passing and controlling the game time.

AC Milan, trailing behind, had no other choice.

To equalize the score, you first need to gain possession of the ball.

They relentlessly pressed and ran, attempting to disrupt the accuracy of Roma players' passing and receiving.

It was effective at first, but they failed to convert defense into attack and were constantly pressured and had possession disrupted by Roma.

Chang Huan intentionally increased his running range to assist Lorenzo Pellegrini and Gerson in distributing the ball from midfield.

The match is in its 83rd minute.

Roma scored a goal to extend their lead.

Chang Huan initiated the attack, delivering a precise long diagonal pass from the left flank of the attacking third.

Right-back Bruno Perez controlled the ball, adjusted his position, and delivered a high-quality cross, which was headed away by Musacchio.

But under pressure from Dzeko, he couldn't exert his full strength, and the ball was headed to the edge of the penalty area.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, who happened to be in that area, unleashed a shot!

Boom~

The crisp, muffled sounds continued to ring out.

Like a cannonball, the football hurtled past Bonucci's chest as he rushed to block it, heading straight for the snow-white net in the top left corner of the goal.

Most of Naruma did not react.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, who had previously missed a golden opportunity, was overjoyed and ran with his arms outstretched, releasing the immense pressure of scoring.

His presence has been awkward since his return to Rome.

He carries the identity of a fourth-generation player with a youth training background, but he is not a key player on the team.

Goals and assists are always important metrics for evaluating attacking midfielders.

Although this goal doesn't threaten Nainggolan or Strootman's positions, it will leave an impression on the coaching staff and fans.

I!

Yes!

With little time remaining in the match, AC Milan were down by two goals, and Gattuso, standing in the away team's control area, already felt hopeless.

He looked at the players on the field, who seemed utterly powerless, and knew there was no way to turn the tide.

As the Italian team with the most Champions League titles, they lack the ability to stage comebacks.

Roma, leading by two goals, remained highly focused and gave AC Milan no chance to capitalize.

At the end of the regular 90 minutes, the scoreboard still showed 2-0.

With four minutes of stoppage time, theoretically two goals should be scored.

Unfortunately, AC Milan players lacked the courage to go all in.

At this point, Roma stopped pursuing goals and focused on using strategic passing to run down the clock.

Two short and one long whistle sounded.

The third quarter-final match of the 2017-2018 Italian Cup has concluded.

Roma defeated AC Milan 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Dzeko and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

The final quarter-final match, played simultaneously, concluded at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Juventus defeated Inter Milan 2-0.

The four teams that have advanced to the Italian Cup semi-finals have been determined, and the draw ceremony will take place at the Italian Football Federation headquarters on Friday afternoon.

The following afternoon.

Roberto Fabricini, acting head of the Italian Football Federation, held a press conference at the federation's headquarters.

He mainly announced two things.

The first thing is to regulate the refereeing guidelines set by the Italian referee committee and disciplinary committee. Starting from the second half of the 2017-2018 Serie A season, there will be stricter penalties for deliberate fouls by attacking players.

The second thing is actually an extension of the first thing.

The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system introduced in the Bundesliga during the 2017-2018 season had a significant effect in the first half of the season, with a marked decrease in the error rate.

The Italian Football Federation will introduce this innovative, modern technology in the second half of the season to regulate referee decisions, reduce controversial calls, and improve the accuracy of key decisions.

This new technology has been implemented in the Bundesliga for half a season, receiving mixed reviews, and has naturally caused a great stir in Italian football.

The media and fans are arguing endlessly.

Some media outlets and fans believe that VAR will severely impact the flow of the game, greatly damaging the entertainment value of football, and also undermining the authority of the referee.

Many media outlets and fans also believe this is a good thing.

Since the Calciopoli scandal, many fans have questioned whether referees have consistently favored stronger teams, and VAR can correct errors that are not visible to the naked eye.

Offside by millimeters, goal-line errors, missed penalty calls in the penalty area, and violent fouls outside the referee's field of vision.

While Italian media and fans were still debating the issue, the renowned German website Transfermarkt was the first to complete a revaluation of the entire Premier League squad.

The most valuable player is Manchester City's midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne, whose price tag reaches a staggering €1.5 million.

The second place goes to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, whose market value has reached €1.2 million.

Third place: Hazard, €1.1 million.

The three of them are also the only three players in the Premier League with a market value of over 1 million euros.

Coutinho and Pogba are tied for fourth place with €9000 million each.

Lukaku ranks sixth with €8500 million.

Salah, Ali, and Sterling are tied for seventh place, with a market value of €8000 million.

Tenth place: Sané, €7500 million.

The player growth rankings are also a focus of attention for the media and fans.

De Bruyne remains in first place.

The updated valuation last June was €75 million, which is equivalent to more than double the previous value.

Next is Harry Kane, whose increase reached 4000 million euros.

The player with the third-largest increase was Salah.

He increased the initial investment from €4500 million to €3500 million.

Premier League fans around the world generally agree with the updated player valuation rankings on Transfermarkt.

-

Only a few fans are somewhat dissatisfied with the market value of their favorite players.

The reason, naturally, is that the score was too low.

Chinese football media, social media bloggers, and fans, upon seeing the latest market values ​​of Premier League players, couldn't help but think of Chang Huan's phenomenal performance during his half-season at Roma.

How much could his net worth be?

South Korea is already celebrating, with Son Heung-min becoming the most valuable Asian player for the third consecutive year at €3500 million.

Now—we're just waiting for Chang Huan's net worth to be revealed.

A small number of media outlets and fans expressed concern.

The English Premier League is the most commercially valuable league in the world, and playing for a player inherently increases their market value.

Due to the influence and style of the league, the transfer fees of players in Serie A cannot be compared with those in the Premier League, which has the highest commercial value.

They are at the bottom of the top five European leagues.

Last June.

The highest-valued player according to Transfermarkt is Gonzalo Higuain, at just €7500 million.

This transfer value would only rank tenth in the Premier League.

Let's take another look at the player valuations for La Liga, Ligue 6, and Bundesliga announced last June.

La Liga is a top-tier league that is exempt from inspection.

With Messi and Ronaldo on the team, those are all worth over 1 million euros.

The top players in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are worth 10 million euros more than those in Serie A.

Lewandowski and Mbappe are both valued at 8500 million euros.

Four hours after the Premier League player valuations were re-evaluated, Serie A player valuations were updated on the Transfermarkt website.

Dybala, who was second last year, has increased his earnings by 20 million euros to top the Serie A table with 85 million euros.

Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi is valued at €7500 million, ranking second.

Due to his advancing age and declining goal-scoring record, Higuain's market value has dropped by €500 million compared to June last year, falling to third place at €7000 million.

Napoli player Insigne ranks fourth with a value of 6000 million euros.

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic ranks fifth with a value of €5500 million.

Pjanic, with a value of 5000 million euros, ranks sixth.

Chinese fans continue to patiently watch the rankings.

Seventh place: Koulibaly and Nainggolan tied, 4500 million euros.

Manolas ranked ninth with 4200 million euros.

There were also several players tied for tenth place.

Mandzukic, Sandro, Hamsik, Immobile, Belletti, and Donnarumma are all valued at €4000 million.

Seeing that Chang Huan's name wasn't mentioned, I was somewhat annoyed.

Everyone's thinking, "What is this 'Transfer Market' thing?"

Not even worth forty million euros?

I was originally hoping to outshine Son Heung-min, who's worth €3500 million, but this...

Next up are Douglas Costa and Strootman, ranked 16th with €3800 million.

Chang Huan's name was prominently listed as number 18.

3500 million euros!

He is ranked alongside Skriniar, Mertens, and Florenzi.

The media, social media bloggers, and fans breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chang Huan's latest market value.

Although he and Son Heung-sa are valued at the same level, the Premier League has a higher commercial value, and player valuations are somewhat inflated.

Chang Huan's ability to earn 3500 million euros in a declining Serie A is significant.

The most crucial thing is still————

One is 18 years old, and the other is 25 years old!
