Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 117 You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

The first half has ended.

Roma are leading 3-1 away from home.

The players from both sides walked toward the players' tunnel one after another.

If this were during the opening ceremony, the Roma players passing by would once again be met with a chorus of boos and foul language.

However, after conceding another goal before the end of the first half, Napoli fans were in low spirits and had no desire to provoke the Roma players.

The Roma players cheered and jumped for joy, singing "The Chinese Magician".

It was Chang Huan's goal and assist in the first half, along with his key playmaking, that allowed the team to finish the first half with a 3-1 lead.

Juventus Vinovo training ground.

After arranging the team's resumption of training, Allegri scoffed, "Ten consecutive wins? That's ridiculous! They were down 3-1 to Roma by halftime, it was completely useless!"

Allegri was still hoping that Napoli would defeat or draw with Roma at home, paving the way for a comeback in the standings.

This is the result.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Roma will most likely secure all three points on their away trip.

The second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 kicks off next week, so there won't be as much energy to focus on the league then.

The players returned to their respective locker rooms, and the television station that holds the Serie A broadcasting rights reviewed the end of the first half.

PP Sports broadcasts highlights from the first half.

"What a master strategist! Everyone thought he'd pass to his teammate in the penalty area, but he pulled off a brilliant pass that caught Reina completely off guard! That was a beautiful play."

"This goal also originated from his quick free kick, a long pass that accurately found Perotti, who was running at full speed on the left wing, resulting in another free kick."

Commentator Shi Qingsheng in the live broadcast room was still praising Chang Huan's goal at the end of the first half.

Fans on social media platforms like Weibo, football communities like Dongqiudi, and sports classification websites like Live9 are also talking about it with great interest.

The Napoli vs. Roma match has also become a hot topic on social media platforms most commonly used by European and American fans, such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Coupled with comments made by Roma coach Di Francesco in a previous interview, Chang Huan, who scored a surprise free kick, has received a great deal of attention.

Messi fans, Ronaldo fans, Real Madrid and Barcelona fans, as well as Argentinian and Portuguese fans, are still the only ones showing their faces.

Regardless of performance, just criticize first.

However, this surge in popularity has led many neutral fans to start paying attention to Chang Huan.

Handsome and dashing, with an elegant playing style, and he uses his brain when playing football.

Each dimension's characteristics exude immense appeal.

It's not just female fans who follow these values; there are also many football enthusiasts who love the sport.

These fans are also beginning to understand why Roma coach Di Francesco praised Chang Huan so highly.

First of all, their performance from age 17 to 18 was the best for that age group.

In the mobile internet age, there are no secrets; fans can easily find whatever they want to search for.

There are many videos of Messi and Ronaldo when they were 17 or 8 years old.

Regardless of whether Chang Huan will grow to GOAT level in the future, he is at least one of the most capable players in his current age group.

Therefore, it has gained more and more support.

The second half of the 27th round of the 2017-2018 Serie A season begins at the San Paolo Stadium.

Trailing by two goals, Napoli had no other choice.

They pressed high up the pitch, attempting to change possession quickly.

The Roma players had already guessed that they would make this choice during halftime.

By passing the ball quickly, the ball is removed from the encirclement.

The Napoli players, unable to win the ball, tried to retreat back to their own half, but Roma's passing speed was very fast.

Dzeko passed the ball from Chang Huan directly to Perotti, who had made a run into space.

If Reina hadn't redeemed himself, Perotti could have easily sealed the victory.

The home fans in the stands instinctively let out a gasp of lingering fear.

However, this situation did not deter Napoli, who changed possession and launched a full-scale attack.

He completed four shots in a short span of three minutes.

All three shots went either high or wide.

The only shot that flew towards the goal was saved by Alisson.

Ten minutes into the second half.

Napoli were the first to make personnel changes.

Zielinski was replaced by Hamsik.

Defensive midfielder Alan looked at the electronic substitution board on the sidelines and saw that the number on it wasn't his own, number 5, and felt like crying.

He really wanted to say to head coach Sarri, "Please, please substitute me."

If you have a clean record, it's fine, but now that you have a yellow card, it's not easy to commit a foul.

This often results in a lack of defensive capability, and can even become a weakness in the team's defense.

He dared not make any moves when facing Chang Huan's dribbling.

Hamsik came on as a substitute but hasn't found his rhythm yet; for Roma—

Another goal!

Chang Huan received a pass from Nainggolan in the middle of the field.

Jorginho was too slow and was easily outmaneuvered.

Alan fought and retreated, not daring to make any moves, waiting for his teammates to provide support.

Chang Huan, who was advancing with the ball, took advantage of Alan's position to successfully draw Mario Rui to come forward and help defend.

Center-back Albiol also maintained a high level of concentration, ready to cover at any time.

Just then, Chang Huan passed the ball to the right wing.

Florenzi was at the point where the pass landed.

Chang Huan's previous dribbling attracted the attention of several Napoli players, allowing Florenzi to make ample adjustments and adjustments.

The cross was of very high quality, bypassing Koulibaly who was rushing to the near post, and accurately finding Dzeko who was leaping high.

A powerful header broke through Reina's defenses.

1:4

The score displayed on the scoreboard has changed.

Several Napoli fans at the San Paolo Stadium instinctively got up and headed for the exit.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Trailing by two goals, they still had a glimmer of hope, believing that the team could still equalize.

As the score gap widened to three goals, they realized that the team was likely doomed.

The Roma players huddled together to celebrate their goal.

Napoli coach Sarri looked dejected and bewildered.

He expected the team to perform worse than Roma, but he didn't expect the gap to be this big!

The Napoli players on the field seemed to have lost their souls; some held their heads in their hands and closed their eyes, some stood with their hands on their hips, shook their heads and sighed, and some even sat on the ground.

Despite leading by three goals, Roma showed little inclination to celebrate, instead exchanging high-fives.

Head coach Di Francesco was as excited as a child, raising his arms and shouting.

Allegri, who was watching the live broadcast of the match, immediately turned off his tablet, got up and went to his office to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 next week.

In the first leg, they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Tottenham.

In the second leg at Wembley Stadium, which Tottenham are renting, we absolutely must win!

Otherwise, the two goals conceded at home would have been fatal.

St. Paul's Stadium.

Trailing by three goals, Napoli's fighting spirit waned, and their attacks when they gained possession were no longer as intense as before.

Fortunately, Roma chose to control the pace of the game and manage the time effectively.

Otherwise, a tragedy like the São Paulo massacre could easily have occurred.

When Napoli's attack picks up, Di Francesco will disrupt the home team's rhythm by making substitutions.

Lorenzo Pellegrini ↑ Perotti ↓

El Shaarawy ↑ De Rossi ↓

Alan's long-awaited substitution came in the 87th minute.

He was replaced by Amadou Diawara.

Roma made a final adjustment in the last moments of regular time.

Schick ↑ Dzeko ↓

The match has entered stoppage time.

The live broadcast director showed a close-up shot of the audience.

The previously packed stadium was now half empty.

The remaining fans also got up and lined up to leave.

The second minute of stoppage time.

Insigne cut the ball back to his right foot on the left wing, and seeing Mertens reach out for the ball, he immediately passed it to him.

Mertens faked a shot outside the penalty area, then cut inside to create space before unleashing a smooth left-footed shot that hit the target perfectly.

Boom~

The football, like a cannonball, blasted into the top left corner of the goal.

This goal was also the last goal of the match.

Ultimately, Napoli lost 2-4 at home to league leaders Roma.

Roma players celebrated wildly after winning a crucial match, but the assistant coach walked onto the pitch with devastating news.

Florence captain Astori, 31, died of sudden cardiac arrest in his hotel room.

Upon hearing the news, Roma players such as Chang Huan, Strootman, Nainggolan, and Lorenzo Pellegrini were stunned, clearly not expecting that a living player would be gone just like that.

Astori spent one season on loan at Roma in the 2014-2015 season.

He made 30 appearances in all competitions and scored one goal.

After thanking the fans, the Roma players quickly left the field and returned to the locker room.

The reporters in the mixed zone were clearly aware of the news that they had come to Florence, and they were all in a heavy mood.

Many PP Sports fans watching the live broadcast of the match were taken aback, wondering why the previously excited Roma players seemed to have lost the game.

Commentator Shi Qingsheng received the message from the official sources and explained it to the fans watching the live broadcast in a low voice.

[RIP May there be football in heaven, Astori, may you rest in peace!]

After learning the news, fans updated their status on various social media platforms.

The Italian Serie A league confirmed the news and convened an emergency meeting.

Out of deep condolences and humanitarian respect, it was announced that several league matches, including those scheduled to start immediately, will be unconditionally postponed pending the determination of rescheduled dates.

Roma immediately changed the team's posters and social media pages to black and white.

The official website and social media accounts released a lengthy statement of condolence, deeply mourning the passing of Astori, who had played for Roma.

Players with casual relationships update their social media posts, while players with slightly better or better relationships call their families.

The following afternoon.

The scheduled recovery training session at the Trigoria training base was cancelled and replaced with a minute's silence, and a video of Ayurveda was played in the locker room.

Highlights of Story's time with the club.

Players like De Rossi, Florenzi, and Stoloman, who had worked with him, were moved to tears.

Chang Huan, affected by the somber atmosphere, pursed her lips and sighed.

He vaguely remembered the league match where they visited the Franchi Stadium to challenge Florence.

Life is so fragile.

You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Round 28 of the 2017-2018 Serie A season.

The first match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Prior to this, a solemn memorial service was held at the stadium.

Before the match, players from both sides came to the center of the field wearing black mourning armbands with the commemorative slogan "CiaoDavide13".

After a somber introduction of Astori's past, announcer Enzo Marino solemnly declared, "Now, let us observe a minute's silence for Florence captain and former Roma player David Astori."

Both teams' players and tens of thousands of fans bowed their heads.

All four GG signs around the area have suspended their GG services and are displaying memorial banners in rotation:

[We will always remember you, once clad in your red and yellow battle robes], [May there be no sudden farewells in heaven]

The stadium's giant screen played black-and-white footage of Astori's life.

Many fans in the stands had reddened eyes and tears welled up in their eyes.

After a minute's silence, players and fans gave a long and solemn round of applause to Astori, who had suddenly passed away.

In the 13th minute, the game was intentionally paused briefly, and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome once again erupted in thunderous applause.

Three minutes later.

Chang Huan kicked the corner kick towards the far post of the penalty area, Fazio headed the ball across to the middle, and Manolas headed it towards the top left corner of the goal.

Manolas, who scored the goal, excitedly pointed both fingers to the sky, paying tribute to his former teammate.

The atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was electric, with thunderous applause.

Just before the end of the first half, De Rossi blasted a pass from Dzeko into the goalkeeper Sirigu's net.

He also made a celebratory gesture with both fingers pointing to the sky, while muttering some words.

With two goals, Roma easily defeated Torino 2-0 at home.
