Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 106 The Desperate Perfect Mihaly Cutter in the Meazza Night Sky!

"Waaaaah"

The home fans at the San Siro stadium booed loudly at the referee, David Massa.

In their view, the assistant referee's judgment was the most accurate.

Upon seeing the whistle and the signal that the goal was valid, the Roma players unleashed their passion, celebrating the opening goal.

The live broadcast recreated the entire goal-scoring process.

It started when Chang Huan received the ball on the right edge of the penalty area and dribbled laterally.

A sudden through ball broke through Inter Milan's defense and found Nainggolan making a run forward.

The image freezes.

A line, added technically, appeared the moment Nainggolan touched the ball with his right foot.

Fans watching on television and those in the stadium could see it clearly through the giant LED screen hanging in the stadium.

Dzeko is not offside!

"That was a good shot."

"Video assistant referees can indeed reduce major misjudgments."

"At least in this match, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) saved a crucial goal for league leaders Roma," exclaimed Fabio Carreza, commentator for Sky Sports Italia.

Inter Milan coach Spalletti shook his head, his back to the camera, and hurled insults: "What trash VAR? Damn it!"

Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system introduced in the second half of the season.

They could have avoided conceding the goal, but instead—it was awarded.

Inter Milan players stood with their hands on their hips, shaking their heads and sighing, clearly uncomfortable with the decision to overturn a previously disallowed goal.

Roma coach Di Francesco raised his arms in celebration and turned to his assistant to celebrate the goal.

"The Video Assistant Referee did a great job, saving a crucial goal! It just looked a bit odd that the player who scored had to celebrate an extra time."

CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi, watching the replay, said: "I have to say, Chang Huan's through ball was really good. To be honest, the valuation of 3500 million euros is too low."

Commentator Xu Yang nodded and joked, "That through ball is worth at least two million euros."

The game has restarted.

Inter Milan, trailing behind, became anxious and quickly launched their attack forward by transitioning their midfield and defense into the attacking third.

Borja Pablo received the ball, dribbled 360 degrees past Nainggolan, and delivered a through ball with his right foot, which was very purposeful.

Pass it to Icardi!

Fazio first blocked the position, allowing the ball to slip past the two players.

Alisson successfully got the ball.

He didn't rush to throw the ball out, but dribbled it continuously in front of the penalty area.

It takes about seven or eight seconds.

Once he was sure there was no one waiting behind him, he threw the ball to the ground and continued to use the game time effectively.

The main strategy is to not pass the ball unless you press.

Icardi had to step forward to tactically suppress the attack.

Perisic, Candreva, and Borja Valero had no choice but to push forward and launch a collective high press.

Otherwise, Icardi would be teased by Roma's midfielders and defenders.

Roma have a good grasp of how to break down a high press, using continuous passing to get the ball out of the encirclement.

Chang Huan stopped the ball on the right flank of the attacking third with the inside of his right foot, and Vecino, who had just shifted his weight to the right, used his left foot, which had been cutting the ball, to bring it back.

Fried meatballs!

"Oh oh oh"

The home fans gasped in surprise.

Chang Huan took the initiative and started moving, bypassing Vecino from the outside, attracting Santon over, and then passed the ball to the right wing.

Ünder made a high-speed forward run, receiving the ball and heading towards the right sideline of the penalty area.

Because of his excessive force when dribbling the ball, Skriniar, who was covering for the ball, managed to shove it out of bounds.

Spalletti looked very troubled standing in the home team's control area.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Rome's offensive tactics revolved around Chang Huan, and that he should have been easily contained.

result----

I was completely overwhelmed by their display of superiority.

Two minutes later.

Having not touched the ball for a long time, Icardi turned his back to the goal and came to the edge of the penalty area, calling for the ball with his back to goal.

Candreva, cutting inside, passed the ball to them.

His original intention was to coordinate with others, but Icardi turned around, shielded Fazio, and attacked.

The hasty shot, lacking fluidity, went awry and the ball rolled slowly along the ground towards the goal.

Alisson easily received the ball.

The Roman offensive was organized with great patience.

Play steadily and methodically, using continuous passes to move the ball to the attacking area within 30 meters of the frontcourt.

After a series of passes and moves by several players in the midfield and forward areas, Chang Huan got a shooting opportunity on the left side of the penalty arc.

His left-footed instep shot curled past center-back Miranda, who was blocking his path, and the wide arc of the ball cut across the penalty area, forming a "C" shape as it spun towards the top left corner of the goal.

Handanovic was highly focused, quickly took two steps to the right, and then lunged to the side, using his extended right fingertips to keep the ball out of the goal.

Handanovic, who had made the save, got up angrily and roared at the defender, venting his frustration.

"What a pity."

CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi lamented, "If it weren't for Handanovic stepping up, Chang Huan's left-footed curler could have helped Roma extend their lead!"

Chang Huan, who appeared in the center of the broadcast, sighed and jogged towards the corner flag.

Dzeko, Nainggolan, and El Shaarawy each stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Chang Huan's corner kick was of good quality, but Fazio misjudged the header under pressure from Skriniar, and the ball went wide of the right post.

With forty minutes remaining, both sides intentionally slowed down the pace.

The first half of regulation time has ended.

Because the video assistant referee spent a lot of time reviewing the replays, the fourth official held up the electronic board indicating two minutes of stoppage time.

One team was worried about their lead widening in the final stages, while the other feared being tied.

They tacitly chose to prioritize stability and did not commit too many troops to the offensive.

The first half has ended.

The scoreboard at the San Siro stadium shows 0-1.

As players from both sides entered the player tunnel, the frenzied atmosphere subsided to its lowest point since the start of the match.

Some fans left their seats and went to the stands, food and drinks bars, kiosks, or street vendors to buy heated food and drinks.

Sandwiches, French fries, sausage hot dogs, espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate, etc.

Being able to have a hot meal and a hot drink during halftime in this cold weather is simply wonderful!

Back in the away team's locker room, Chang Huan shook hands with each of the coaching staff members and picked up a carbohydrate energy gel and an organic banana from the table.

They replenished their energy and carbohydrates while listening to head coach Di Francesco explain the tactical adjustments for the second half.

Before leaving the locker room.

She even applied some hairspray to fix her disheveled hair back in place.

The players from both teams returned to the field.

Inter Milan made the first personnel changes.

Brozovic↑

Gagliardini ↓

Remove one defensive midfielder and add one playmaker.

Spalletti stood somewhat nervously in the command and control area.

This adjustment is somewhat radical.

If the attack fails to improve, Roma could very well seize the opportunity to extend their lead.

Brozovic has excellent playmaking ability, accurate long passes, and is good at short passing to advance the ball, which can improve the stability of midfield control.

Their defensive capabilities are only average.

The second half begins.

Inter Milan's attack reached the 30-meter attacking zone in the frontcourt, and the slightly empty stands during halftime were filled again.

The cheers were deafening, and the frenzied atmosphere permeated the entire San Siro stadium.

But Inter Milan's attack didn't have much effect.

El Shaarawy and Ünder provided deep defensive support, switching to a 4-5-1 formation in the mid-low block.

By blocking the central area and the gaps in the flanks, Inter Milan were forced to attack down the wings.

The right flank is primarily controlled by Candreva and Cancelo.

One attacks the flanks, while the other widens the attack.

Santon will defend on the left flank, while Perisic will be in charge of the attack.

Roma coach Di Francesco only provides general tactical guidance to the current Roma team.

Which direction to attack and how to play the game are entirely decided by the midfield maestro, Chang Huan.

Such a tactical arrangement would likely be frozen out if executed by other players.

Chang Huan possesses a broad vision, high football intelligence, and strong game reading ability. His imaginative and perfectly timed passes ensure the ball is comfortably delivered to where it should be.

He can step up when his teammates can't break through the goal.

As they pondered this, Inter Milan's attack, having gained possession, moved down the right flank.

Candreva, moving down the flank, gave up his position on the side, and Cancelo delivered a very high-quality cross while on the move.

The ball was passed between the two center-backs.

Icardi leaps and heads the ball towards goal from just outside the six-yard box!

Alisson instinctively stepped to his left to make a last-ditch save, keeping the goal intact.

The home fans gave Icardi a thunderous round of applause, cheering him on.

"Wow! Alisson Baker saved the team!"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza shouted.

Icardi, who appeared in the center of the broadcast, held his head in his hands, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

His expression spoke volumes.

How could he possibly lunge at that?

Brozovic's corner kick was of good quality, finding Miranda lurking at the far post.

It's a pity it hit the wrong spot.

Both sides entered a period of offensive silence for a while, focusing their energy on defense.

However, those who know football understand that this is the opportunity for both teams to deliver the decisive blow!

Time flies when you're in a high-level match.

The 70th minute has arrived in the blink of an eye.

A dead ball has appeared.

Rome has made personnel changes.

Lorenzo Pellegrini replaces Ünder.

The intention behind this substitution is to diversify the attacking options in the frontcourt.

Spalletti was still thinking about how to equalize, while Roma's unique attacking style made substitutions immediately effective.

"Waaaaah"

Boos erupted.

Roma's attack has progressed past the halfway line.

Lorenzo Pellegrini came on as a substitute and took Ünder's place.

Through passing and movement, the midfielders and forwards changed positions with Chang Huan.

Spalletti, who was in the home team's coaching area, sensed something was wrong and felt uneasy.

He frowned: "Rome's attack was clearly developing on the left flank, and Chang Huan wasn't involved at all."

Kolarov, facing Inter Milan's deep, layered right flank defense, pulled the ball back, turned, and passed it to Strootman for support.

Nainggolan swerved to the right to create space to receive the ball.

Strootman, who was near the left flank, unexpectedly sent a diagonal pass to the right front!

Lorenzo Pellegrini!

Brozovic quickly moved forward.

However, Lorenzo Pellegrini quickly passed the ball out, delivering a powerful low cross to the right edge of the penalty area.

"often"

Fabio Carreza, the commentator for Sky Sports Italy, raised his voice two octaves.

Vecino, positioned at the edge of the penalty area, quickly moved across to assist left-back Santon in double-teaming Chang Huan.

Right-back Florenzi made a high-speed run down the right flank.

Chang Huan flicked the ball to the right with the inside of his left foot at high frequency, giving the illusion that he was waiting for Florenzi to accelerate.

This caused Thornton's attention to be somewhat biased towards external factors.

Just then.

Chang Huan passed the ball with the tip of his left foot to Dzeko, who was coming across from the center of the penalty area to receive it.

Vecino, realizing what was happening too late, stretched out his leg but touched nothing.

Having planned this all along, Chang Huan lowered his left shoulder and suddenly slashed inward.

Dzeko, with his back to the goal, sets up the ball.

Chang Huan, while running, used the outside of his left foot to flick the ball to the left, accelerating to get rid of Vecino, who had slightly tugged at his jersey but quickly loosened it.

The swing of the left lower leg during acceleration is very realistic, perfectly capturing the shooting stance.

Skriniar, who instinctively pushed forward, and Brozovic, who returned to his position, both made leg-extending blocking motions.

Chang Huan never expected that these three would directly help her "stack the full buff"!

"Oh oh oh"

The home fans instinctively gasped when they saw this.

Chang Huan, supporting his body with his right foot, dribbled the ball to the center of the penalty area arc and quickly kicked the lower part of the horizontally rolling ball with the inside of his left foot.

Candreva, who was tucked in, fell to the ground and raised his foot to widen the blocking area.

However, the speed of movement is noticeably slower.

The football, rising rapidly with a strong inward spin, streaked into the air, drawing an exaggerated banana-shaped arc over Inter Milan's penalty area, bypassing Handanovic's outstretched right fingertips as he made a desperate save to the right, and nestled into the top left corner of the goal.

"gooooooooooool"

66

The commentators at the live commentary booth subconsciously drew out their voices.

Chang Huan, who scored the goal, ran wildly with his arms outstretched, but was pulled to the ground by El Shaarawy after only a few meters.

Lorenzo Pellegrini lunged forward.

Nainggolan, Dzeko, Strootman, Kolarov —

"You're amazing, kid!"

"That shot was crucial!"

"Well done!"

They shouted wildly.

The away team's strategist, Di Francisco, pounded his left chest with his right hand, his excited expression looking somewhat ferocious.

Inter Milan coach Spalletti held his balding head in his hands, watching the Roma players celebrating their goal with utter despair.

Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the VIP section, knew that cameras would be focused on him at the stadium, and he barely suppressed his anger.

He was actually cursing under his breath.

What the hell were you kicking?

The entire San Siro stadium fell silent at that moment, allowing the Roma expeditionary force to celebrate their goal hysterically.

"pretty!"

"pretty!!"

CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi exclaimed with passion: "Chang Huan's signature left-footed curler breaches Handanovic's goal, giving Roma a 2-0 lead over Inter Milan!"

Juventus coach Allegri and Napoli coach Sarri, both watching the live broadcast on television, almost simultaneously exclaimed, "How can this guy be so freakish?"
