Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 109 Champions League Round of 16 First Leg: The lucky charm gets revenge on the spot and scores a goal! Aren't you angry?

"Waaaaah"

The Shakhtar Donetsk fans at the Metalist Stadium booed incessantly, disrupting Chang Huan's passing rhythm in the attacking third.

But—it had no effect.

When it's time to perform, you still need to shine.

He took up the mantle of Roma's attack when Dzeko, El Shaarawy and Ünder were performing poorly.

Maintain a sufficient threat to the Shakhtar Donetsk goal.

It was precisely because of Chang Huan's outstanding performance that the Donetsk miners did not dare to commit too many troops to the attack in the early stages.

Fred, who is good at both offense and defense, chose to focus his energy on defense for the first ten minutes, leaving the attack entirely to the front four.

Only after he had complete control of the game's tempo did he utilize his strengths in dribbling, long-range shooting, and set pieces.

Roma, not in their best form, opted to retreat and defend, waiting for their form to improve before seeking scoring opportunities.

With home advantage, Shakhtar Donetsk gradually launched an offensive, at one point pinning Roma back to their 30-meter defensive zone and putting them on the attack in their own half.

The two wingers cut inside and took long-range shots, while the full-back crossed from the byline.

The atmosphere inside the Roma penalty area was tense, with Alisson facing numerous dangers while guarding the goal.

"The Roma players seemed completely out of form, perhaps because the weather in Kharkiv was too cold."

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei, seeing the camera focus on Chang Huan, changed his tone: "Chang Huan is an exception. He is in very good form, but individual efforts are hard to make up for the team's poor performance. Of course, Alisson is also in good form."

The match has reached 20 minutes.

Shakhtar Donetsk secured the central area and significantly increased their offensive commitments.

Fred dribbled the ball forward, using his speed and skill to get past Chang Huan and Strootman.

He intercepted the ball before De Rossi could cover.

The two then collided.

The referee then blew his whistle, awarding the home team a direct free kick in a relatively good position.

The center is about 25 meters from the goal.

Fred takes the penalty!

The football he kicked sailed over the wall of players, its beautiful arc swirling visibly towards the top left of the goal.

Blind spot.

Goalkeeper Alisson was out of reach.

Shakhtar Donetsk leads Roma 1-0.

The passionate Shakhtar Donetsk fans unleashed their energy, creating a truly frenzied atmosphere at the Metalist Stadium.

Some fans are clamoring to recreate the Champions League Round of 16 match between the two teams six years ago.

In the first leg, Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Roma 3-2 away, and in the second leg, they won 3-0 at home.

With an aggregate score of 6-2, they advanced strongly to the quarterfinals, achieving their best Champions League result since the team's founding.

Roma's head coach, Di Francesco, stood bewildered in the technical area, unsure of what to do.

Three key players were injured before the match, and the bad weather made it difficult for the players to find their rhythm.

Now that we're down by one goal, it's unlikely that Chang Huan alone can turn the tide.

Captain De Rossi has great leadership qualities and stepped forward to take responsibility.

This indicates that the goal conceded stemmed from a foul that resulted in a free kick for Shakhtar Donetsk.

His sharp gaze swept over each teammate, stirring their emotions: "Brothers, we are the warriors of the Red Wolves, and we will not be..."

The cold weather won't stop me. I'll get running, warm up my body completely, and I believe scoring a goal is only a matter of time.

"The captain is right."

When his teammates didn't know how to respond, Chang Huan stepped forward and stood tall: "Run! If there's really no other way, pass the ball to me. Don't worry, even if it gets intercepted, it's my responsibility."

"Keep it up!"

Vice-captain Florenzi clapped his hands vigorously.

Standing on the sidelines, Di Francisco saw the players looking refreshed, and his low spirits didn't seem so bad anymore.

Although the restarted game was still somewhat chaotic under the pressure from Shakhtar Donetsk players, they were able to barely maintain control of the ball.

Roma players started passing the ball to Chang Huan more often.

His quick pass, his ability to break free on the spot, and his dribbling forward caused concern among the Shakhtar Donetsk fans in the stands.

Portuguese head coach Paulo Fonseca used a dead ball opportunity to call Fred to the sidelines to make some tactical adjustments.

This scene was captured by the on-site director.

Soon after, the Shakhtar Donetsk players began to commit more fouls against Chang Huan, preventing him from getting comfortable possession of the ball.

Hugging, pushing back, kicking, ramming —

Referee Collum was lenient in his rulings and encouraged physical contact.

Unless it's a particularly obvious foul, it's unlikely to be called.

This also fueled the arrogance of the home team players.

After Ukrainian international Stepanenko bumped into Chang Huan from the side, he bent over and spewed trash talk, his spittle almost hitting Chang Huan's face.

Chang Huan, who had been fouled repeatedly, was also a little annoyed. He disdainfully stretched out his right hand and waved it in the air, stirring up the air.

He covered his mouth with his left hand so the camera wouldn't capture what he said: "Can't you have any public decency? Don't you know rabies can be transmitted through saliva?"

Stepanenko's mind immediately filled with several big question marks.

Seriously, this is the reaction I get when I swear at you?

Once his brain had processed what he'd said, he glared fiercely at Chang Huan: "Kid, dare you say that again?"

Do you have a hearing problem?

Chang Huan held her head high, showing no fear whatsoever.

De Rossi rushed over and stood in front of Chang Huan, glaring angrily at Stepanenko: "Don't cause trouble. If you want to fight, come find me!"

Dzeko, Strootman, Kolarov, and other tough guys ran towards the scene of the incident.

Fred, Taisen, Ferreira, and other Shakhtar Donetsk players also flocked to support Stepan Nenka.

Referee Collem quickly blew his whistle, shoving De Rossi and Stepanenko, who were almost at each other's throats, aside, and verbally warned: "As captains of your respective teams, you better set a good example, or you'll be in my pocket with cards!"

Stepanenko quickly regained his composure; as the team captain, there was no need to complicate matters while leading.

However, his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Chang Huan, thinking that he would find an opportunity to save face later.

This is not————

Four minutes later.

Roma intercepted the ball in their own half and launched a counter-attack.

The ball was passed to Chang Huan, who had run out of space to receive it.

Tyson, who was actively tracking back, was tricked and instinctively lunged to tackle, only to kick nothing but air.

Stepanenko capitalized on the moment when Chang Huan dribbled past Fred and created a gap in his dribbling, bumping into him from the side, deliberately avoiding the referee's view.

There was a noticeable force exerted by the right elbow that made contact.

But he didn't expect that Chang Huan had a "block" on his left hand, which greatly reduced the damage.

Upon landing, Chang Huan let out an exaggerated scream of "Ah~" and rolled on the ground in pain, clutching her chest with both hands.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his facial features were almost squeezed together, and his pain was palpable.

Zheko gently pushed with his right hand, asking in bewilderment, "Is it necessary to commit such a foul?"

Stepanenko shook off the attack.

Roma coach Di Francesco protested on the sidelines, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the player who committed the foul.

The referee's view was obstructed by the body, but he could still see something based on his years of experience.

He ran to the scene and showed Stepanenko a yellow card.

The Roma players, who had originally intended to cause trouble, stopped saying anything.

As a teammate, it's still possible to tell whether Chang Huan is truly in pain or faking it.

"Waaaaah"

The home team fans unleashed a deafening chorus of boos.

Especially when Chang Huan was pulled up by his teammates and seemed completely unharmed, the resulting roar swept across the entire stadium.

Stepanenko was frustrated after receiving a yellow card. A foul that was not particularly threatening and was almost a draw resulted in a yellow card, which meant he would have to play more cautiously in the following matches.

However—even more frustrating things were yet to come.

37 minutes.

Shakhtar Donetsk's attack ended with Bernard cutting inside and firing a long-range shot that went over the crossbar.

Roma's backline gradually found its rhythm and began organizing attacks.

A quick, continuous pass gets the ball out of the encirclement.

Chang Huan, who made the crucial pass through the middle, switched positions with Yundaer and moved to the right flank of the attacking third.

Roma's attack down the left flank failed to find an opportunity, and the ball, after passing through Strootman and Ünder, returned to Chang Huan's feet.

Florenzi made a high-speed run down the right flank, widening the attack and drawing local attention.

Chang Huan used the outside of his left foot to flick the ball inwards, getting past the assisting winger Bernard, and then feinted a pass before flicking it past Ismaily.

Facing Fred's sudden stop, he broke through by switching the rhythm of his left foot's outside instep with an inward cut.

After completing the transition pass, Yundel ran sideways to the right, circled around to Chang Huan's right side, and made a back cut.

Meanwhile.

With his excellent field of vision, Chang Huan noticed that his teammate was in a bad position, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of Stepanenko coming over to cover.

His heart moved.

He glanced up at the goalkeeper Pyatov's position as he adjusted his footwork.

The left foot strikes the lower part of the soccer ball with the instep.

Consume the stacked buffs from three consecutive attacks and control the precision to the extreme.

Boom~

Stepanenko, who had risked his life to block the gunshot, instinctively closed his eyes as the football hurtled towards him.

"Hiss~"

A fraction of a second later, he felt a burning pain on his face.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The Shakhtar Donetsk fans behind the goal clearly saw the ball hit their captain's face, and they couldn't help but let out a gasp.

A gasp of surprise.

Several fans even instinctively closed their eyes, as if they were the ones eating the scrambled balls.

However, something unfortunate happened later.

The football struck Stepanenko's face and then bounced back onto the path of Chang Huan, who had just completed the shot.

Entering and exiting incorrectly.

He unconsciously lifted his left foot and used the inside of his foot to flick the ball forward.

Fred and Stepanenko were not in defensive positions.

Center-back Rakitic stepped up, even mentally preparing himself to commit a foul.

I never expected to meet Chang Huan, who has a broad perspective.

Dzeko, accompanied by another center-back, Krivsov, made a run from the left side of the penalty arc into the box.

Rakitic pushed forward to defend, and the two defensive midfielders were out of position, meaning that the distance between him and left-back Ismaily was large enough.

Chang Huan made almost no adjustments, sending a diagonal through ball to the right into the blind spot in the middle of the field.

Fred, realizing the situation was dire, turned around to fill in at left center-back, but he was a beat too late.

He instinctively made a gamble by diving and stretching his leg to intercept the low-lying football!

Unfortunately, the time required to push it out was very short.

The ball, rolling at high speed close to the ground, almost grazed Fred's gleaming studs, and rolled towards the Roma player who was running diagonally into the center of the penalty area on the right flank of the attacking third.

Behind him was left-back Ismaila, who was not paying enough attention.

"Oh my God!"

"A perfectly timed, deadly through ball!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted, "Cengiz-Ünder!"

The ball arrives, and the player arrives!

As Ünder made a high-speed run into the penalty area, he deliberately flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot to adjust his position, just to be on the safe side.

The left foot, with its shoe studs landing more than half a meter away, supports the body. The alternating swing of the left leg involves very little folding of the lower leg, relying entirely on the explosive force of the lower leg.

The football, pushed out with the instep, rolled rapidly along the ground towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

Pyatov, rushing out of his goal, instinctively lunged to his right, a rather awkward move, and the ball flew right under his right armpit as he made his save.

Pass----

A fraction of a second later.

The football, having rolled across the goal line, plunged headfirst into the snow-white net!

"goooooooooooooal"

Several commentators in the live commentary booth drew out their voices.
