Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 96 A Tribute to Legends! Running Wild at the Allianz Stadium in Turin!

Polytechnic University of Turin.

Mirafiori Campus.

There are still more than four hours until Juventus hosts Roma.

Hundreds of Chinese students with black hair and yellow skin, football enthusiasts, gathered at the main gate.

They primarily selected the two top public universities in Turin, the Polytechnic University of Turin and the University of Turin, with the prestigious art schools, the Turin Academy of Fine Arts and the Verdi Conservatory of Music, as secondary choices.

They usually study hard at school, and on weekends they get together to play friendly matches or the Northern Chinese International Students Football League.

Occasionally, we would go to the Allianz Stadium or the Olympic Stadium in Turin to watch games together.

Chinese player Chang Huan traveled with Roma to challenge Juventus, and fellow international students organized a group to support him.

Cheer for Chang Huan!

Given the league's connection to the championship race, the level of excitement was beyond imagination. Tickets were reserved for university students and general visitors near the away team's stands.

The number of registered participants has been confirmed, and all cheering banners, slogans, posters, and national flags are in place.

The group was very large and impressive.

(Discreetly) Headed to the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

A deafening chorus of boos erupted from the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

The professional football stadium without a running track is closer to the stands, and Juventus fans, about ten meters apart, collectively cursed and insulted Chang Huan's family.

The Roman expeditionary force and the cheering squad of over a hundred Chinese students breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chang Huan was alright.

Chang Huan, who had been pulled up by Dzeko, looked towards the home team's fan section, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"So handsome!"

This scene was captured by many fans at the scene.

In the mixed zone behind the GG sign, reporters pressed their camera buttons to capture the exciting moments.

"Whoosh~"

The referee blew his whistle, and Chang Huan took a direct free kick from the left side of the attacking third.

The football, rising from the ground with a strong, wide, inward spin, flew rapidly towards the Juventus penalty area, bypassing Barzagli's forehead at the near post, and precisely finding Manolas sandwiched between him and Higuain.

Leap high into the air, twist your waist and shake your head!

With his attention focused, Buffon reacted very quickly, taking a step to the right and instinctively using the momentum to leap into the air.

The save was executed with great fluidity, the right fingertips flicking upwards at the incoming ball.

It was this movement that caused the football to rise a few centimeters, grazing the top of the crossbar and flying out of bounds.

"Oh oh oh one "7"

A gasp of surprise rippled through the air above the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

"Chang Huan's set-piece crosses are as precise as ever!"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza exclaimed with excitement: "Juventus' defenders need to be more focused."

Buffon, having made a thrilling save, sprang to his feet, pointing his index fingers to his temples, and roared excitedly at his teammates in the penalty area: "This is a damn title race! Everyone, give it your all!"

The Juventus players lowered their heads, not daring to refute.

However, given the recent defensive blunder, every player is taking the situation very seriously.

Chang Huan's corner kick from the left flank was well-placed, but under immense pressure, Dzeko's aim was off, and the ball went wide of the post.

Juventus, having gained possession, launched a short pass from their own half and began to build an attack forward.

Dzeko, facing off against center-back Benatia, called for Perotti, El Shaarawy, and Chang Huan to press high up the pitch.

Captain De Rossi also signaled to his teammates to keep up with the pressing pace, not giving Juventus players an easy chance to get the ball out of their encirclement.

Juventus' pre-match training clearly simulated similar conditions.

The two wing-backs spread out, and the two defensive midfielders form a "W" shape to provide support angles.

But Benatia didn't dare to pass the ball, and instead quickly passed it back to the goalkeeper.

Buffon controlled the ball and passed it to Cuadrado, the wing-back who was receiving it on the right.

Kolarov's defense was extremely deep, and he was caught off guard by the opponent's sudden stop, resulting in an accidental rear-end collision.

"Whoosh~"

The ball broke free of Cuadrado's control, and Kolarov was about to dribble when the referee, Orsato, blew his whistle for a foul.

The home team's coach, Allegri, stood in the technical area with a bewildered expression and a furrowed brow: "It's more difficult than I imagined." Two minutes later, Juventus launched another attack from their own half.

Roma continued to employ a high-pressing defense.

Dzeko closely marked Benatia, the center-back who was passing the ball, while Strootman followed the playmaker Pjanic.

Dybala had to drop back to participate in the attacking organization, but he was harassed by De Rossi when receiving the ball with his back to goal, making it very uncomfortable for him to receive the ball.

This often forces us to pass the ball back.

The receiving player had no choice but to clear the ball with a long kick to avoid Roma intercepting it and launching a counter-attack.

Higuain, standing at 1.84 meters tall, is not a target man and struggles against players like Manolas (1.89 meters) and Fazio (1.95 meters).

The offensive and defensive positions have changed hands.

Roma gained possession of the ball.

Juventus also tried pressing high up the pitch.

Let's start with Higuain.

However, with Roma's key passing area under intense pressure, they immediately activated Plan B!

Use Dzeko's height advantage as a fulcrum.

Chiellini, who was responsible for the tackling, was blocked in his position and didn't have many good options. He could only watch helplessly as Dzeko headed the ball to a nearby teammate who was making a support play.

It would be fine if the ball was given to Perotti, but I'm afraid he might pass it to Chang Huan.

The two defensive midfielders, Matuidi and Khedira, cannot both move forward at the same time; one of them must remain to act as a shield in front of the center-backs.

Pjanic's double-teaming would leave De Rossi or Strootman unmarked.

Chang Huan has a wide field of vision and strong passing ability, and is fully capable of catching the ball.

At that time, the defense will be exposed as having problems.

Roma's initial attacks were mainly probing; even when the ball was successfully passed to Chang Huan, they wouldn't pass it forward rashly.

After all, Juventus' defensive players were highly focused.

Even the best pass is difficult to penetrate the mutually protected core three zones on the ground.

Florenzi's cross from the right wing was too powerful and went out of bounds on the other side.

This time, Roma did not continue their high-pressing strategy, allowing Juventus to advance smoothly after gaining possession.

However, the process is rather cumbersome, as the ball always has to be passed to Pjanic or Dybala for a while.

The away team is easier to defend overall.

Neither side created any decent chances in the first ten minutes.

Or rather, they are all testing the waters.

Until the 18th minute of the match.

Chang Huan, who was being marked head-on by Khedira, raised his left foot and flicked the ball, which had fallen to the height of his calf, to left-back Kolarov with the outside of his foot.

Perotti moved forward along the flank, while wing-back Cuadrado followed suit and retreated.

Kolarov, with his immense power, advanced the ball for about ten meters.

Right defensive midfielder Khedira entrusted the task of marking Chang Huan to Matuidi, while also calling on Pjanic to compress the passing space on Roma's left flank.

Chang Huan, who had made a forward run, braked suddenly and retreated, allowing Kolarov's cross to be delivered directly to the center.

Matuidi, Pjanic, and Khedira, who had turned around, quickly formed a three-man encirclement around Matuidi, Pjanic, and Khedira.

"Awoooooo!"

The home fans seemed to realize something and erupted in a huge cheer.

It must be said that these fans had a very good grasp of foresight.

but----

Three Juventus players failed to intercept the ball; instead, Chang Huan snatched it away.

He stretched out his right leg to meet the incoming ball, and Matuidi and Pjanic instinctively followed suit, making a slight turn.

Chang Huan stepped on the ball with the ball of his right foot and pulled back. The two players braked suddenly and stretched out the legs closest to the ball to try to intercept it.

However, Chang Huan's connecting movements were faster; his alternating left foot studs pulled the ball back and passed it out.

With almost no vision, the ball was passed to De Rossi, who was pushing forward in the middle!

"pretty!"

"A truly elegant Marseille turn pass!"

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei's voice became impassioned: "Chang Huan toyed with the Juventus players in a way that former Juventus legend Zidane excelled at!"

De Rossi also didn't hold onto the ball, quickly making a long pass to the right wing despite Dybala's pressure.

Roma's fluid attack reached the right flank where Florenzi made a high-speed forward run.

Sandro, on the left wing, is following El Shaarawy and tucking in to the flanks; chasing Florenzi is a bit unrealistic.

Chiellini, the left center-back who was closer in space, headed the ball out.

Florenzi, running at high speed, didn't have much of a speed advantage; he stopped the ball in place.

A diagonal pass.

Pass the ball to El Shaarawy in the flank.

Sandro and Khedira, who came in to fill in, were on high alert.

El Shaarawy dribbled the ball directly towards the middle, drawing the attention of Sandro, Khedira, and left center-back Chiellini.

He actually dribbled horizontally to catch up with the ball and didn't intend to continue. He used the instep of his left foot to cut the ball and then stopped abruptly, passing the ball back to Chang Huan, who was in the same straight line and positioned further back.

Matuidi and Pjanic accelerated from both ends.

Vertical coordinated attack!

The 3 points of speed and 2 points of acceleration that Chang Huan gained three days ago are now showing their effect.

He used the outside of his left foot to forcefully deflect the returned football inwards.

With an acceleration of up to 87, it delivers extremely high burst power!

This allows you to get ahead of others.

It was precisely because of that extra 0.1 seconds that Pjanic's outstretched right foot missed both the ball and the player!

Matuidi's sliding tackle was too slow, allowing Chang Huan to pounce and deflect the ball away with the outside of his left foot.

Chang Huan caught the timing of the attempted tackle, his left foot rising alternately to narrowly avoid a foul resembling a scissor kick.

Khedira saw that Chang Huan's center of gravity was affected, and he stumbled while chasing the ball.

He took the initiative to go to meet her.

Just then.

With his excellent vision, Chang Huan keenly spotted a passing lane amidst the movement of both teams' players!

He alternated between stepping out with his right foot, landing with his knee bent to support his body, and raising his right hand to maintain his balance.

He raised his left foot about 28 meters from the goal in the middle, and struck the middle of the ball before it bounced off the ground with the instep of his left foot.

Through ball!

Khedira, attempting to cover, couldn't stretch his leg in time, and the ball, rolling rapidly along the ground, swept past his legs at a visible speed.

The Juventus fans behind the goal felt a jolt of fear.

They just saw Dzeko, who was facing away from the goal at the top of the penalty area, suddenly turn to the left, close to Benatia, and cut back towards the space behind him and Chiellini in the penalty area.

Juventus coach Allegri's pupils contracted, and a strong sense of unease surged from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to the top of his head.

No!

Many home team fans were on tenterhooks.

Chang Huan's low, ground-hugging pass was the path that led to Dzeko's run!

"Oh oh oh—"

""

A gasp of surprise, almost instinctive, rose from the home fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Benatia, whose shoulder had been smeared by Dzeko, instinctively reached out and tugged at her shoulder.

Dzeko, with his extensive match experience, is no pushover!

His left shoulder swung back violently, and his outstretched left hand pushed against Benatia's right wrist, which had been temporarily flung away.

Speed ​​it up!

"pretty!"

"Chang Huan's through ball after his breakthrough tore apart Juventus's solid defensive system!"

"Edin-Dzeko!"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza gave a series of passionate shouts.

Dzeko, who was positioned to block the ball, did not need to stop it.

He adjusted his pace accordingly.

He grabbed his right foot before Chiellini could fall and block!

Strike the lower middle part of the football at the junction of the instep and the back of the foot.

Buffon rushed out to the edge of the six-yard box, pressing down with his buttocks and spreading his arms to maximize the area he could block.

Seeing the soccer ball, about thirty centimeters off the ground, flying rapidly toward his right armpit, he felt a sudden sense of despair.

The football, hurtling rapidly, crossed the goal line and slammed into the bottom left corner of the goal.
