Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 92: The 2017 Bronze Boy Award winner's management team assesses the "sincerity" of major global sports brands!

Chang Huan's repost and comment on Instagram, "Seeking a survival guide for Serie A logging tactics," quickly attracted attention.

In the mobile internet era, data traffic is king.

Fans, football reporters, and football bloggers saw an opportunity to capitalize on the traffic and jumped on the bandwagon at breakneck speed.

Several Roma fans, who were also fans of Chang Huan, realized they should use public opinion to put pressure on him, so they compiled a highlight reel of the tactics used against Chang Huan in recent matches.

Posted on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon.

There is no exaggeration involved.

It quickly attracted the attention of many football enthusiasts.

They were all subjected to verbal and written attacks.

【Seriously? That's too cruel!】

To be fair, Chang Huan is really resilient. If it were our team's Dybala, he would be bedridden for at least three months.

No wonder Italy failed to qualify for the Russia World Cup; what kind of technically gifted players can you expect to develop in such a football environment?

As time went on, some players, even star players, began to pay attention.

Former Roma player Miralem Pjanic retweeted: "Trucking should never be an important defensive tactic."

His teammate, "Little Fairy" Dybala, understands this all too well.

Because it affects one's potential —

Only injuries and illnesses.

Logging tactics are the main culprit for injuries.

Napoli players Insigne and Mertens, Inter Milan players Eder and Brozovic, and AC Milan players Montolivo and Musacchio, among others, offered their comments after the controversy sparked.

With the addition of players, even more fans flocked to the stadium.

From its early days in the World Cup to its current decline, Serie A has arguably lost more star players than any of the top five European leagues.

Roberto Baggio, George Weah, Ronaldo, Van Basten, Kaká —

Some well-known football bloggers have pointed the finger at the Italian Serie A referee committee.

Their accusation of former FIFA President Blatter's "protection order for technically gifted players like Messi" is not without merit in their satire of Serie A's decline.

Instead of protecting the technically skilled players who bring entertainment, the presence of the lumberjacks is diminished.

This is downright anti-football!

Roma coach Di Francesco, in an interview with team journalist Paulo Stoppa, criticized attacking tactics: "Football is the most fascinating sport in the world, but if we want more people to pay attention to and love this sport, attacking is the way forward!"

Napoli coach Sarri, Juventus coach Allegri, Inter Milan coach Spalletti, and AC Milan coach Gattuso also gave interviews to their respective team reporters.

It's not that Chang Huan has any great influence, but rather that these top Serie A teams prefer to protect their technically gifted players.

Banning logging tactics is certainly unrealistic, but reducing the frequency with which mid-to-lower-tier teams use logging is equivalent to reducing the probability of important players getting injured.

If the core players play every minute of the season, the results will definitely be good.

Mid-to-lower-tier Serie A teams rely on defense for survival, and logistical tactics are an important means of achieving this, making them naturally opposed to the title contenders.

Several head coaches, in interviews, stated that the diversity of football tactics is what has led to the current flourishing of football worldwide.

We should be more rational in our approach to football tactics!

We should neither blindly advocate offense nor denigrate defensive tactics, which are valid in themselves.

Chang Huan never expected that her original intention, which was just a joke, would receive so much attention.

What surprised him even more was that the National People's Daily's overseas new media matrix also reposted it.

It raises a thought-provoking question: a defensive strategy focused on hurting the opponent is ultimately a poor one; beautiful attacking football is what the world's number one sport should look like!

Mainstream European football media also jumped on the bandwagon for traffic, causing the Italian Serie A disciplinary committee and referee committee to be heavily influenced by public opinion.

Therefore, a press conference was held on Thursday afternoon.

They indicated that an internal meeting would be held soon to discuss how to optimize the penalty standards.

Roma's head coach Di Francesco and his coaching staff remain troubled.

The team's 13-game winning streak at the start of the league season and 4-game winning streak at the start of the Champions League group stage were largely due to the opponents' lack of understanding of them. Now that the team has achieved good results, they are being scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

-

The Champions League away loss to Atletico Madrid and consecutive league away draws against Genoa and Chievo were ostensibly due to Chang Huan's absence and the impact of the logging tactics.

In fact, to a large extent, it's because the tactics have been thoroughly figured out.

The overall quality of the attack declined, and the number of threatening attacks was significantly lower than in the early stages of the game.

From a tactical perspective, Atletico Madrid, Genoa, and Chievo have very specific strategies in mind.

In addition to denying Chang Huan room to perform comfortably, it also restricts the offensive and defensive pivots De Rossi and Zheko to varying degrees.

This means that only the center-backs and goalkeeper were not closely marked along the entire central axis.

The team has entered a bottleneck period and must find ways to optimize its existing tactics and counter targeted tactics!

The next two matches against Cagliari and Torino are particularly important.

The Italian Cup Round of 16 can be postponed if necessary, as the league lead and the challenge against Juventus in the league are the top priorities.

A six-point match is definitely more important than the Italian Cup quarterfinals.

After all, with the current bench depth, playing on three fronts would be very difficult.

A new competition cycle is about to begin.

The attention of mainstream European football media and the world's leading sports media has not been focused on the top five European leagues, but rather on Turin, a northern city on the Apennine Peninsula.

The reason is...

The winner of the 2017 European Golden Boy award will be announced at 1 p.m. local time in Italy on December 15th!

Although Mbappe has the highest probability of winning, there are still uncertainties before the results are announced.

The world of football has never lacked awards for "overtaking on a curve".

However, this possibility is still very small for Mbappe, who has a complete calculation cycle.

Firstly, Dembele's form has not been very good since joining Barcelona, ​​and last week he suffered a serious injury that will keep him out for several months.

Chang Huan's data only covers the second half of the year, making it difficult for him to pose a threat to Mbappe.

Ivan Zazaroni, editor-in-chief of the newspaper *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, once mentioned in his column that the lack of data from the first half of the year is extremely detrimental.

The result was as expected.

The final scores of the three candidates were announced simultaneously.

Mbappe 291 points, Dembele 119 points, Chang Huan 106 points.

In other words, Chang Huan won the 2017 European Bronze Boy Award.

Chang Huan, one of the candidates, is also paying attention.

He felt it was normal when he first learned of the result.

Mbappe helped Monaco win the 2016-2017 league title and then stormed into the Champions League semi-finals.

Joining Paris Saint-Germain is tantamount to being crown prince, enjoying the treatment of the second core player after Neymar.

In addition, Mbappe has a stronger ability to score directly, which naturally makes him more popular.

Major European media outlets widely reported that Mbappe was named the 2017 European Golden Boy, with headlines such as "Well-deserved."

French media outlets France Football and L'Équipe have even hailed Mbappé as the greatest hope for the revival of French football.

Chinese domestic media and fans felt some regret, but not much.

With such a significant data gap and a lack of past glories, it's understandable that he was defeated by the French supercar Mbappe due to the absence of a complete timeframe calculation.

The key advantage is that Chang Huan has a significant age advantage.

He is capable of competing for the European Golden Boy award next year, the year after, and the year after that.

[A glorious defeat: Keep up the good work, the future belongs to the post-00s generation!]

The overseas Chinese fan community has been increasingly respected and paid more attention to Chang Huan's future development prospects due to his outstanding performance.

The only concern is that the current logging environment in Serie A might affect growth.

There have been far too many targeted and malicious logging operations in the past two weeks.

If it weren't for my quick reaction and resilient body, I'd probably be lying in a hospital bed by now.

Chang Huan was in Trigoria preparing for the league match against Cagliari when his agent, Vinnie Grella, called in the evening to inform him of the recent developments.

Her outstanding performance in the competition brought positive effects, and her excellent personal appearance also led to high exposure and attracted the attention of many businesses.

Several sports brands, led by the world's three leading sports brands, showed the greatest interest.

Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro, New Balance, Kappa, Mizuno, as well as Chinese sportswear brands Li-Ning and Anta, and the Spanish sportswear brand Kelme, which operates in China.

After discussions and detailed conversations with Chang Huan, Winnie-Greira's expanded management team last month rejected both Li Ning and Anta.

the reason is simple.

Basketball is the main focus for Li-Ning and Anta, but they lack core technologies related to football equipment, even if they promise to vigorously develop football equipment after signing a contract.

Subsequently, they rejected Italian traditional sports and leisure brand Kappa, British traditional sports brand Umbro, Kelme China, and Mizuno.

It's not that the endorsement fees offered were low, but rather that Kappa and Umbro were declining in popularity.

Kelme China and Mizuno develop high-quality football equipment with good cost performance. Their endorsement fees are also the highest among other sports brands, reaching the market price level of top stars such as Verratti and Griezmann.

Kelme China receives €300 million per year, and Mizuno receives €350 million per year.

However, after analysis, the brokerage team rejected Kelme China.

The team's relatively low global brand recognition is not conducive to its future strategic planning for Chang Huan, whose commercial value is increasing.

As for rejecting Mizuno, it was purely Chang Huan's personal decision.

He will never endorse brands from the sushi country, regardless of the endorsement fee offered.

So only New Balance, Nike, Adidas, and Puma remain.

As for which sports brand to sign with in the future, Chang Huan is not in a hurry.

With the system at his side, his football talent is maxed out, and he also has advanced and durable talents.

As long as they remain humble and steady in their development, they are destined to become a historic force in professional football.

However, we are currently only in the initial stages of negotiations, and it will be some time before an agreement is reached.

The 17th round of the 2017-2018 Serie A season kicked off at the San Siro stadium.

The result was unexpected.

Inter Milan suffered a shock 1-3 defeat to Udinese at home.

The league match played later at the Turin Olympic Stadium proceeded without incident.

Napoli won without much effort, taking a 3-0 lead at halftime, but Red Belli Belotti pulled one back in the second half to salvage some pride.

The league match between Roma and Cagliari kicked off at 8:45 p.m. that evening.

The evening temperatures were much better than in the sweltering heat of last week in Chievo, so the team performed well overall.

But—it's only not bad.

Cagliari have only managed 17 points in 16 league matches, five points ahead of the relegation zone. When they visit the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they will draw inspiration from the logging tactics used by Genoa and Chievo.

However, the meetings of the Serie A disciplinary committee and the referee committee were not just for show.

Although he did not explicitly state in an interview that he would focus on protecting the attacking players, the referee Antonio D'Amato used a yellow card in his pocket to tell the away team players to behave properly.

The logging strategy failed, and the only option left was to implement the pre-match strategy of parking the bus.

Breaking down a tight defense has always been a major problem for Roma, but Chang Huan's good luck is just too much!

In the 4th minute of the second half, he took advantage of the young Barella's miskick in the penalty area to steal the ball.

In a moment of desperation, Barella's poking shot hit Chang Huan's supporting foot.

With a cry of "Ah!" he collapsed to the ground, prompting the entire Roma fanbase to rise and put pressure on him.

Referee D'Amato hesitated for a fraction of a second before blowing his whistle and pointing his right index finger to the penalty spot.

Perotti was on the bench, and Dzeko, the second penalty taker, converted the penalty to score the only goal of the match.
