Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 111 The ingenious use of absolute shooting rights: a triple kill against Milan this season!

Post-match press conference.

The two red cards issued by referee Coleman became the focus of attention after the match.

However, neither head coach addressed the issue raised by the media in detail. They simply stated that the refereeing decisions were not problematic, but they were slightly disappointed with the result and hoped to advance in the second leg.

Meanwhile, the first leg of the Round of 16 will also be played at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

Sevilla held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw.

The following morning, they flew back to Rome, preparing to host AC Milan in the 25th round of the league this weekend.

This game is crucial in determining whether a new cross-season unbeaten record can be set.

At 8:45 p.m. European time that evening, the first leg of the final two Champions League Round of 16 matches took place at Stamford Bridge and the Allianz Arena in Munich, respectively.

Chelsea held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at home, while Bayern Munich thrashed Besiktas 5-0.

With this, all eight first-leg matches of the Champions League Round of 16 have concluded.

However, there are still two weeks until the second leg of the Round of 16 begins. The matches will be played simultaneously after the Europa League Round of 16 is decided and the first leg of the Round of 16 begins.

Before this.

Roma have three league matches and one Italian Cup semi-final second leg.

Three of them are home games.

Time flies, and before we know it, it's the weekend league day.

The 25th round of the 2017-2018 Serie A season kicked off at the Renato Dallara Stadium.

Bologna defeated Genoa 2-0.

国米2：0贝内文托、克罗托内2：3斯帕尔、佛罗伦斯1：0切沃、桑普多利亚2：1乌迪内斯、萨索洛0：3拉齐奥。

Roma vs. AC Milan kicks off at 8:45 pm on Sunday.

Roma are in red-hot form this season, becoming the only team in Europe to remain undefeated in a league.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome, located on the banks of the Tiber River in the northwest of the city, was packed to capacity, with waves of cheers erupting from the very start of the match.

Given AC Milan's poor performance this season, Roma rotated their squad for this round of league matches to avoid over-fatigue of their key players.

结束25轮联赛，AC米兰仅拿到12胜5平8负积41分，进35球丢30球。

They scored the fewest goals in attack among the top ten teams, and conceded the second most goals among the top ten teams, only behind Lazio and Sampdoria, who tied for the most goals conceded.

Roma scored 64 goals and conceded 15, the most goals scored and the fewest goals conceded.

Before the match, it was believed that the outcome of the game would be a foregone conclusion.

The two teams have faced off twice this season.

In the first leg of the league, Roma won 3-0 away at the San Siro Stadium.

This match was also widely discussed by Chinese media and fans.

That was one of Chang Huan's signature plays in the first half of the season.

Two shots and one assist!

The other match is the Italian Cup quarter-final.

Roma won 2-0 at home.

Chang Huan, who was not experiencing physical fatigue, started the game and spearheaded Roma's relentless attacks from midfield.

Gattuso's AC Milan is very similar to his playing style.

The midfielders pressed high up the pitch with intense pressure, covered the lateral lines aggressively, and the defense was positioned tightly.

Focus on defense before launching an attack.

However, this tactic was precisely countered by Rome.

AC Milan's high pressing and aggressive lateral coverage are designed to force their attacks down the flanks.

Roma is a team that relies heavily on attacking down the flanks.

It could even be described as a strong-side offensive tactic.

Full-backs Kolarov and Florenzi/Bruno Perez have explosive attacking attributes.

El Shaarawy, Perotti, Ünder, and Chang Huan, who can play as an attacking midfielder or winger, all played significant roles in Roma's attacking system.

Roma, playing at home, rotated their squad on both offense and defense, but their attack did not falter.

In this match, Di Francisco once again made minor adjustments to the attacking tactics.

Nainggolan was brought back to the three-midfielder system, and Chang Huan did not return to the wing, but continued to play as the forward midfielder.

The forward line uses a combination of one tall and one fast player.

Hick + Yundal.

But the exact formation depends mainly on Chang Huan's position.

If the midfielder is positioned further forward, then it's a 4-3-1-2 formation.

When it appears on the flank, it becomes a 4-3-3 formation.

At first, Ünder's kicks were rather awkward.

I don't know how to position myself.

Under Chang Huan's guidance, he gradually gained a sense of ease and control.

Roma's goal that broke the deadlock came from Ünder.

24 minutes.

Chang Huan, who had moved to the left flank of the attacking third, spun the ball that Strootman had passed to him in place, dribbling past Kessie and getting entangled with him.

Left-back Kolarov overlapped to draw Suso's attention, and Calabria tried to maintain pressure. Nainggolan made a forward run into the flank, drawing Kessie's attention away, and Chang Huan cut the ball to his right with the inside of his left foot, creating space.

Calabria had no choice but to turn around and follow.

With his excellent vision, Chang Huan had already spotted his teammate accelerating and immediately intercepted the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left flank, delivering a right-footed cross.

With his right foot, he unleashed a curve shot of 80% of Mihajlovic's level, the ball flying towards AC Milan's penalty area drawing a clear inward arc in mid-air.

The ball arced and fell towards the right edge of the six-yard box at the far end of the goal.

AC Milan's defensive system is primarily based on the right flank, and it will take time for them to return to a balanced state.

Chang Huan's cross with his weaker foot simply denied them that opportunity.

"Bruno Perez!"

When Fabio Carreza, a commentator for Sky Sports Italy, saw a red figure flash on the right side of the screen, he instinctively raised his voice.

A huge roar of cheers swept across the entire stadium in a short time.

Bruno Perez, positioned at the point where the ball landed, made a first-time pass to the left rear.

Ünder, running to the right side of the penalty area, locked his left ankle and felt a great push with the instep of his foot towards the incoming ball.

Excellent in both power and angle.

Bonucci was half a beat too slow to block the shot, and Donnarumma, who was diving to his right, couldn't cover enough space with his outstretched arms to save the ball, which flew almost to his fingertips towards the top corner of the goal.

"gooooooooooooool"

The commentators on the live broadcast unanimously drew out their words.

Ünder was particularly excited after scoring in consecutive matches, celebrating his goal with a sliding knee celebration.

The fervent home atmosphere ignited at that moment.

The AC Milan players, now relegated to the background, shook their heads, sighed, and put their hands on their hips.

I wanted to say something but couldn't, and I felt extremely frustrated.

Milan's owner, Li Yonghong, who came to watch the game, had a long face, clearly very dissatisfied with conceding the goal.

"Chang Huan's cross with his weaker foot was spot-on, finding right-back Bruno Perez who was making a full-speed run down the far side of the field. His attacking abilities are so comprehensive!"

PP Sports commentator Shi Qingsheng exclaimed, "If you don't give him a chance to move forward, he can tear apart the defense with wide-ranging passes!"

Trailing behind, AC Milan intentionally intensified their attack after the restart of the game.

However, the home team's defense was solid, limiting AC Milan's attack by locking down Biglia and Çalhanoğlu.

At the same time, pay attention to the cross-ribs of Suso and Cutrone, which serves as a real-time monitoring function.

Roma, who were in the lead, played very calmly, passing the ball forward whenever they had a good chance.

If things don't go well, pass the ball laterally to draw AC Milan's defense, or pass it back to them.

Kolarov and Bruno Perez spread out the attack, creating more three-dimensional attacking channels.

The second half of the first half.

Kolarov delivered a precise cross from the left wing, finding Schick at the near post.

The header was also very aesthetically pleasing, and the angle was also good.

Donnarumma stepped up at the crucial moment!

A perfectly executed diving save kept the ball out of the net.

During halftime.

Di Francesco gave Chang Huan a private speech: "When you have the chance, take the ball in your most comfortable position and use your breakthroughs and cut inside to compress AC Milan's defense. If you have the chance, don't worry about other players, just shoot boldly. This is the absolute right to shoot that the coaching staff has given you."

Chang Huan nodded solemnly: "Okay, boss, I know what to do in the second half."

The first minute of the second half.

Chang Huan delivered a penetrating through ball from the left flank of the attacking third, finding Schick who had made a run into the left side of the penalty area.

Donnarumma once again became the team's hero, saving Schick's one-on-one chance.

In his view, Schick's chances at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half were entirely due to the inaction of the defense.

But the next goal conceded left the Milan legend speechless.

Chang Huan, whose forward runs had been consistently limited, found himself in the most comfortable position on the right flank of the attacking third.

Strootman passed the ball directly to them.

Chang Huan used the outside of his left foot to gently flick the ball inward, shaking off the inward-curving left-back Ricardo Rodriguez.

The rhythmic changes of slowing down and then accelerating again freed him from Biglia, and the connecting left foot made a sudden stop with the inside of the instep to break away from Casey.

Bonucci's forward push seemed timely, but Chang Huan's dribbling skill, rated as high as 90, ensured precise control of the ball. He used the outside of his left foot to gently flick the ball along the edge of the penalty area towards the center, creating a comfortable distance.

As Casey turned around, he saw Chang Huan quickly step out with his left foot, the inside of his foot striking the ball at an extremely fast speed.

His first-person perspective also provides a very clear view.

The ball, rising from the ground, spun rapidly, almost grazing the toe of Bonucci's outstretched left foot. Flying towards his own penalty area, it arced like a rainbow after the rain, bypassing Donnarumma's perfectly extended right fingertips as he made a diving save, and curled into the net just past the top inside of the left goalpost.

The entire Stadio Olimpico in Rome erupted in cheers.

After scoring a goal, Chang Huan rushed towards the penalty area, crossed the baseline, braced himself with one hand, and gracefully leaped over the "GG" sign, running towards the die-hard fans' section in the south stand.

"It was the highly rousing voice of our regular announcer Enzo Marino that carried the brilliant goal to the entire stadium through the loudspeaker system."

—huaaaaaaaaaan！

More than 60,000 Roma fans spoke in unison.

"That was a beautiful shot!"

"The speed, angle, and trajectory are near perfect!"

PP Sports commentator Shi Qingsheng announced loudly: "Chang Huan has helped Roma score another goal, leading 2-0! Their 30-game unbeaten run across seasons is imminent!"

Countless Chinese fans sitting in front of their computer screens could feel the deafening shouts coming from the stadium.

So much so that many fans are making a vow: they must go to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to experience the fervent atmosphere in their lifetime.

Roma extended their lead at home, and Gattuso, standing in the away team's coaching area, stood with his hands on his hips, shaking his head, clearly very frustrated.

AC Milan, trailing by two goals, had no choice, even without the ability to turn the tide.

Let's take a gamble!

Gattuso, who has played as a defensive midfielder throughout his career, showed his spirit.

Adjustments were made continuously.

André Silva and Kalinic came on as substitutes.

Bonaventura and Cutrone were removed from the squad.

Before the effects could even materialize, Roma scored again.

Chang Huan received the ball on the left flank of the attacking third, feinted a couple of times to draw the defense's attention, then cut inside and used his explosive power to get past Çalhanoğlu before sending a through ball to Nainggolan who had made a run into the box.

A cross from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Bonucci. Dzeko, who had just crossed the penalty area line, instinctively stretched out his leg to block the ball, almost stopping it completely. His follow-up low shot with his right foot was powerful and well-placed.

The tall and long-armed Donnarumma was slow to get off the ground. Before his left hand even touched the grass, the ball, close to the ground, swept across the coverage area, crossed the goal line, and nestled into the snow-white net.

This goal completely sealed the victory!

Gattuso knew the team was beyond saving and looked bewildered.

However, towards the end of regulation time, Roma's defense habitually made mistakes.

Portuguese international André Silva found an opportunity in the penalty area and beat Alisson in goal.

This goal was also the last goal of the match.

In the end, Roma defeated AC Milan 3-1.

Meanwhile, Juventus and Napoli, whose matches were scheduled for the end due to European competitions, also won their matches, maintaining sufficient pressure on league leaders Roma.

In the next round, Napoli, who are six points behind, will host Roma at home!
