Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 94: The First Max-Level Skill!

"Oh yeah!"

In the away team coaching area of ​​the Turin Olympic Stadium, Di Francesco raised his arms in a triumphant shout.

After his initial excitement, assistant coach Tome immediately considered a practical question: "Who will take the penalty kick?"

The top three players in the penalty shootout order are Perotti, Dzeko, and De Rossi.

None of the three are here!

After celebrating the penalty, the Roma players on the field realized the situation.

Who will impose the punishment?

As Di Francisco hesitated, he saw Chang Huan, who was holding a football, pulling up Yundel, and his eyes lit up.

Tomé also thought of something.

The two locked eyes and exclaimed in unison, "Chang!"

"Great partners, such great teamwork!"

Di Francisco and Tomé shook hands.

Chang Huan played as the midfield core in this match, organizing the midfield and forward attacks in an orderly manner, and allowing his teammates on both flanks to give full play to their strengths.

No one objected to the penalty kick being taken when the player in the penalty order was not available.

Head coach Di Francesco immediately pointed to Chang Huan to show his support.

I support Chang Huan taking the penalty kick.

This scene was captured by the on-site director.

"Will Chang Huan take this penalty kick?"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza exclaimed: "This is insane! He's still 11 days shy of turning 18!"

""

"Hey bro, do you think Chang Huan's penalty kicks will be affected by age?"

Commentator Claudio-Onofri laughed.

Fabio Carreza was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Ha~ that's true."

Sitting in the stands, Juventus coach Allegri was still replaying the threatening attack in his mind when he saw Chang Huan place the ball at the penalty spot, wondering, "He's going to take the penalty?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," the home team fans booed loudly as Chang Huan, who had positioned the ball, retreated to a suitable distance.

Tencent Sports acquired the non-exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2017-2018 Italian Cup this summer, much to the surprise of domestic fans who stayed up late to watch this Round of 16 match.

Chang Huan kicks a penalty kick?

Many fans are worried about this.

But watching Chang Huan participate in the International Champions Cup in July this year was very relaxing.

A young man who can use a spoon in a penalty shootout definitely belongs to the category of someone with a big heart.

The key is that Chang Huan has excellent footwork; taking a penalty kick is a piece of cake for him.

"Whoosh~"

Referee Giampaolo Calvarese blew his whistle.

Torino fans at the Turin Olympic Stadium unleashed their full passion.

The boos were deafening.

Chang Huan, standing to the right of the ball, ignored the warning and began to take small steps to run up to the goalkeeper, Vanya Milinkovic, who was over two meters tall.

He took a big step with his left foot and jumped out quickly, then took another step with his right foot, landing about 20 centimeters to the right of the ball.

The entire focus is on the goalkeeper standing in the middle of the goal line, giving a smooth and relaxed feeling.

"Damn it!"

"Which side is it? The left? Or the right?"

With a serious expression, Vanya Milinkovic's eyes darted left and right, finally settling on the angle of Chang Huan's left leg as he swung it. A thought struck him: "To the right!"

However, as soon as his body weight shifted to the right, Chang Huan changed the angle of his left foot's instep when striking the ball, spreading his instep wide to completely wrap around the lower left side of the ball.

"Fuck!"

That is, Vanya Milinkovic moves in the opposite direction.

Chang Huan didn't put any force into his left foot, and the football he kicked slowly rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

But for the big, imposing goalkeeper who had already relinquished his focus, all he could do was watch the ball go in vain.

"Mamma mia! Non ci credo!! (My God, I can't believe it!)"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza exclaimed: "17-year-old Chang Huan defeated Vania Milinkovic with rhythm and a big heart!"

"This Chinese teenager's football talent is off the charts. His composure during a penalty shootout in an away game is astounding; he's definitely aiming for the Ballon d'Or!"

Commentator Claudio Onofri exclaimed.

The home fans at the Turin Olympic Stadium seemed to have lost all their strength and could not utter a sound.

The Roma expeditionary force seized the opportunity and cheered hysterically for the goal that extended their lead.

Chang Huan, who scored the penalty, ran towards the right corner flag with his arms outstretched, raising his arms and shouting, expressing the ecstasy of scoring.

The coaching staff high-fived in celebration, showering the coaches with praise.

Allegri's face was grim, clearly sensing that the weekend at Tianwang Mountain would be more troublesome than he had imagined.

First, Roma's key players were given a rest, and second, Chang Huan delivered a first-half performance that was considered his best since joining Roma.

In the end, the tactical change was a great success!

"My God!"

"Chang Huan's 'big heart' attribute is just too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Tencent Sports commentator Sun Tianyu exclaimed, "They pushed in the opposite direction, using the strategy of 'remaining unchanged amidst all changes'!"

Countless Chang Huan fans who stayed up all night to watch the live broadcast were extremely excited, exclaiming that the night was well worth it!

Trailing by two goals at home, Torino had no choice but to increase their attacking efforts and try to equalize in a flash.

Unfortunately, there was very little time left in the first half.

Roma's defense was fully committed, giving Torino no chance to threaten their goal.

The game resumes after switching sides.

Trailing by two goals, Torino made personnel changes.

The aim is to increase the number of attackers.

Their initial attack was indeed impressive, with waves of offensive pressure fueled by the cheers of the home crowd.

Rome's balanced 4-2-3-1 formation is gradually demonstrating its tactical effectiveness.

All players on defense.

Limit the home team's attacking space, as their characteristics are not particularly distinctive.

They launched a quick counterattack and almost broke through Torino's entire defense.

Gonalons intercepted the ball, and Chang Huan received it, creating space before passing it.

A penetrating through ball found Ünder, who was making a high-speed run down the right flank.

The opposing full-back is quite old, so the defense can only target the player directly.

A yellow card ended Roma's quick counter-attack.

At the 60-minute mark, Roma substituted their central axis players one after another.

De Rossi, Nainggolan, and Dzeko.

The formation has reverted to the familiar 4-3-3 formation.

With a two-goal lead, they are not afraid of Torino suppressing their attacking space.

They only need to maintain the current situation to win the game.

The game has reached the 80th minute.

Despite the efforts of "Red Baby" Belotti, Torino's attacking system still failed to score, and some home fans in the stands rose in disappointment and expressed their dissatisfaction by leaving the stadium early.

It wasn't until stoppage time that Belotti managed to score a consolation goal amidst the chaos of a corner kick scramble.

The match has ended.

Roma defeated Torino 2-1 thanks to a goal and an assist from Chang Huan, advancing to the quarterfinals of this season's Italian Cup.

1/4决赛将会在明年1月上旬展开角逐，但是对手要等到周五下午的1/4决赛抽籤结束才能揭晓。

Post-match press conference.

A reporter from Tuttosport asked, "Was the switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation in the just-concluded match preparation for the league match against Juventus this weekend?"

Di Francesco shrugged and said, "You know, we made a lot of rotations for this game. This is our regular backup system; we didn't specifically prepare for it. But, by the way, the whole team is ready to take three points from the Allianz Arena in Turin!"

Torino coach Mihajlovic admitted in an interview that he made tactical mistakes and would take responsibility for the team's elimination from the Italian Cup.

They also expressed their appreciation for Chang Huan's outstanding performance.

After all—his goal and assist were key to Roma's advancement.

Media aspect.

Roma's away victory over Torino to advance to the Italian Cup quarterfinals is considered quite normal.

It received almost no attention.

Italian media are focusing their attention on the six-point match that will begin at 8:45 pm on Sunday!

The following morning.

The entire Roma team returned to Rome by high-speed train and immediately took a bus back to the Trigolia training ground.

Players who played in the Italian Cup focused on daily recovery training, while other players engaged in tactical drills and light contact exercises.

That evening.

Chang Huan returned to her rented triangular apartment.

He didn't even reply to Julia Monsa's WhatsApp message before eagerly switching out of the system.

Head straight to the task page.

He scored a goal and provided an assist in the Italian Cup.

Three tasks are shown as completed.

Main Quest: Italian Cup Debut (Completed)

Side Quest: First Goal in the Italian Cup (Completed)

Side Quest: First Assist in the Italian Cup (Completed)

完成的三个任务奖励分别是：总共700积分、属性点*5、3级技能升级卡*1、球员技能卡*1（义大利杯）

Overall, it's not bad.

The total accumulated points have finally surpassed 2,000, reaching 2546 points.

He reached the required number of points to exchange for the Level 4 skill upgrade card, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he first checked which player's skill card he would unlock.

Player Skill Card (Italian Cup): This will break down the page for random level skill tasks for players who have played in the Italian Cup into smaller, more manageable sections, and switch to a square turntable with 81 open slots in the center.

There are still many skills.

Quaresma's outside-of-the-foot shot, Del Piero's arc in the zone, Ronaldo's pendulum shot, Ronaldinho's whipping kick, Ibrahimovic's scorpion kick...

Batigoal, etc.

"start."

After about ten seconds, the flashing red light stopped at the seventh cell in the third row.

Several streaks of reddish-purple light suddenly flashed in the comfort zone in front of me, making it impossible to open my eyes.

"Holy crap, what's that so bright and glaring?"

Chang Huan instinctively raised his right hand to shield his eyes.

It took several seconds for the fumes to slowly dissipate.

Only then was he able to look in front of him.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired Mihajlovic's skill: Mihajlovic's Curved Blade]

[Level: Pinnacle]

"Huh? Even the Mihaly Cutter doesn't need such exaggerated special effects, does it?"

Chang Huan glanced at the second row and noticed the "Peak of Perfection" effect, realizing why it had special effects.

Reaching the pinnacle!

This is the first time I've drawn a max-level skill!

Mihajlovic's Curve: His unique footwork gives set pieces or dynamic passes an astonishingly wide arc, catching defenders or goalkeepers completely off guard. [Curve: 84→85 (96)]

[Mihajlovic Curved Sword GIF]

"Wow, max-level skills are truly extraordinary!"

It raises the upper limit of the attribute arc to 96, and even comes with an animated effect.

He did the math in his head: adding a little bit each week would take 11 weeks to reach the maximum.

That is, two and a half months.

Then, I put the level 3 skill upgrade card into my inventory.

Begin deciding on the allocation of the five attribute points.

The allocation should still follow the principle that conventional training is unlikely to lead to improvement.

After a brief consideration, it was decided to allocate attribute points to both speed and attack.

Whether breaking through on the flanks or advancing through the middle, the higher absolute speed combined with 90 dribbling ability allows for efficient escape from defenders who are not particularly fast.

Higher acceleration can shorten the time it takes to reach absolute speed from startup.

In layman's terms, the response speed for local contests or ball handling will be faster.

Speed ​​+3, Acceleration +2

He raised his right index finger and pointed it at the "Confirm" button.

Speed: 82 → 85

[Acceleration: 85→87]

at the same time.

He could clearly feel a warm current slowly flowing through his calves and Achilles tendons, and the slight itching sensation lasted for about five seconds.

Finally, he switched the page to the points mall.

Exchange 2,000 points for a [Level 4 Skill Upgrade Card].

[Remaining Points: 546]

I've been holding back for over two months, and I've barely managed to save up any points through the lottery!

[Is it confirmed that the effect is internal?]

"confirm."

Cut inside (Masterful): The rhythm of your dribbling is outrageously strong. Your unparalleled ball control increases the accuracy of your follow-up shots/long shots by +7 every time you successfully get past an opponent (Note: The buff can stack up to 3 times).

"Hey, it's not that weird~"

He was also thinking about how to add even more values.

However, upon further reflection, stacking the buffs to the maximum value of the two original attributes is quite considerable.

Shots on goal: 64; Long-range shots: 66.

Stacking 21 points will allow you to reach 85 or 87 respectively.

Quite nice.

With a mental switch, the page returns to the comfortable property panel.
