Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 98 The Goal-Scoring Duty My Teammates Couldn't Complete! The Equalizer in the Turin Night Sky!

Allegri turned to the bench and gestured for all players except the goalkeeper to warm up.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Roma's head coach, Di Francesco.

As if inspired, he turned and walked toward the bench, calling for the players to warm up.

Allegri cracked the tactical logic of the 4-2-3-1 formation, which was not very sound.

The safest approach right now is to switch back to the familiar 4-3-3 formation.

Chang Huan intentionally dropped back to relieve pressure on the midfield and defense, avoiding blindly launching long balls that would result in losing possession.

But De Rossi was afraid, and Strootman didn't want to become a sinner.

The center-backs, in particular, strive to avoid mistakes rather than seek merit.

Chang Huan had no choice but to give it to his teammates who were too afraid to give it to him.

Juventus capitalized on Roma's unstable mentality, maintaining possession and orchestrating attacks.

Alisson guards the goal, creating numerous dangerous situations!

Juventus fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin were filled with excitement, erupting in deafening cheers.

In the fervent home atmosphere, Juventus created another excellent scoring opportunity.

At the crucial moment, Alisson stepped up!

As if divinely inspired, he denied Dybala's high-quality low shot, which was in red-hot form.

Forced to make a series of high-quality saves, Alisson grew increasingly frustrated. After pushing the ball out of bounds, he roared at his players, "What are you all doing? Get your act together, Caralho!"

The last Portuguese word he uttered was a rather vulgar one, spoken softly, more like a speechless rant.

Di Francisco let out a breath and turned to his assistant, Tomé, shouting, "Bring Racha (Nainggolan) over here! I need him to stabilize the midfield!"

Pjanic ran up to the right corner flag to attack, placed the ball at the corner arc, and even turned around and waved his hands to stir up the home crowd.

"Awooooo—"

Juventus fans were very excited and happy to cooperate, shouting themselves hoarse.

They unleashed deafeningly loud cheers, creating a frenzied home crowd atmosphere.

The cheers continued, but unfortunately Pjanic's corner kick was of poor quality, and the ball was headed out of the penalty area by Fazio.

Cuadrado, trying to prevent a Roma counter-attack, unleashed a powerful shot from just outside the right side of the penalty area.

The shot was intentionally aimed at the lower center of the ball to avoid a flat shot that would bounce off a Roma player.

A volley that wasn't properly controlled went over the crossbar.

The referee blew his whistle and turned to face the technical area.

The live broadcast director switches camera angles.

Give it to the player substitution area.

Nainggolan.

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed, "If El Shaarawy is taken off, Roma will very likely revert to a 4-3-3 formation."

as predicted.

Chang Huan moved to the right wing, leaving the midfield to Nainggolan, Strootman, and De Rossi.

With the addition of a powerful and versatile midfielder, and Chang Huan's ability to drop back, Roma now has an extra point of support for forward passes from their own half.

Juventus' continuous pressing failed to win the ball, and they almost had their defense breached by De Rossi's long pass, which created space for him to advance.

Allegri realized the tactics needed to be adjusted and signaled the players to retreat to their own half and hold the position low.

Wing-backs Sandro and Cuadrado dropped back to the back line, changing the formation to 5-3-1-1.

With the score in the lead, play defensively and counter-attack.

Some Juventus fans are dissatisfied.

But then I thought about it again.

Damn it, Rome is the real leader!

Playing counter-attacking football at home isn't unacceptable.

Roma, having gained possession, patiently passed the ball around, searching for weaknesses in Juventus' defensive system that were exposed in the midst of rapid changes.

With Nainggolan anchoring the midfield, De Rossi and Strootman felt more secure and dared to pass the ball to each other.

The midfield was able to pass the ball back and forth comfortably, and the overall attack began to move smoothly.

He played a series of one-two passes with Nainggolan and Strootman, who were on the offensive, and delivered a perfectly timed reverse pass from the edge of the right side of the penalty area!

Florenzi didn't need to make any adjustments; he delivered the cross before Sandro could interfere.

The landing point was excellent.

The beautiful arc in mid-air bypassed Chiellini at the front and found Dzeko, who was ahead of Benatia.

A header from the edge of the right side of the six-yard box was affected by Benatia's reaction force, and the angle of the header was not wide, going wide of the near post.

Two minutes later, Chang Huan received the ball on the right flank of the attacking third.

A series of feints and inside cuts past Pjanic, Matuidi, and Chiellini, followed by a wide arc from the inside of his left foot, which was fully buffed, shooting towards the far upper corner like a rainbow piercing the sky.

Juventus captain Buffon was very focused, taking two steps to the right and then leaping into the air.

To be on the safe side, he raised his left hand and lifted the high-speed, inward-spinning football over the crossbar.

"Oh oh oh one"

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

After completing a high-quality long-range shot, Chang Huan held his head in his hands, his brows clearly showing regret.

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed with excitement: "Chang Huan is in excellent form! He cut inside from his designated area and unleashed a high-quality long-range shot! If Buffon hadn't been so focused, this goal could very well have equalized the score!"

Before Chang Huan took the corner kick, Juventus also made adjustments.

Veteran Marchisio replaces Matuidi to increase midfield control and prevent possession from being lost too quickly.

Allegri's simultaneous tactical adjustments were highly targeted, greatly reducing the pressure on Chang Huan's left flank defense by man-marking him.

but----

Chang Huan was very clever; his precise pass gave Nainggolan and Strootman, who had made runs into the middle, a direct long-range shooting opportunity.

Unfortunately, neither of them had a good feel for the ball; their shots were either too high or too low.

The battle then focused more on the midfield.

Both teams saw a sharp decrease in shots on goal.

In high-level matches, time often passes very quickly, and before you know it, you've reached the 75-minute mark, a crucial point in physical fitness.

The starting players' physical condition has declined significantly.

Both sides had to slow down their offensive and defensive pace and recover some of their physical strength.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chang Huan found a good opportunity to attack the right flank.

He stepped on the ball passed to him by Nainggolan with his left foot, looked up at Marchisio and Sandro who were about two meters in front of him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

In an instant, the teammates who had made their runs created a path!

Meanwhile.

Step on the ball with your left foot and move it to the lower right. Then, use the outside of your foot to gently flick the ball inwards, and then use your left foot to intercept it.

Marchisio assumed Chang Huan was going to pass the ball, so he took a step to the right.

Sandro's failure to tuck in effectively widened the distance between him and Marchisio.

By the time they noticed Chang Huan's fake fax, it was too late.

Chang Huan intercepted the ball in the flank and delivered a low, curved pass with his right foot.

The football was like a crescent moon drawn on the green grass, quickly bypassing Chiellini on the left side as he moved to the inside right corner of the penalty area, and finding Strootman who was cutting diagonally into the right side of the penalty area.

"Oh oh oh—"

'

The Juventus fans in the stands instinctively gasped in surprise.

Strootman looked up at the landing point of the pass, glanced at Buffon who rushed out hastily, and then took a shot!

It's incredibly powerful!

However, his shooting technique seemed off; he struck the ball too close to the bottom of the pitch, and the ball soared high above Buffon's head at high speed.

They fired an anti-aircraft gun!

"call"

Allegri breathed a sigh of relief.

Strootman, who had missed a golden opportunity, held his head in his hands, his face filled with disbelief.

Fabio Carreza, commentating from the sidelines, exclaimed, "Chang Huan's pass was perfect! It's a pity Kevin Strootman didn't capitalize on the opportunity."

"Another wasted opportunity to execute Chang Huan's artistic pass!"

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei was amazed by the replay.

Juventus made an attacking adjustment in the 81st minute after facing danger in front of their goal.

Mandzukic replaced Dybala, who was not very effective defensively, and formed a two-striker partnership with Higuain.

The effects of this adjustment are not only evident in the offense, but also in the defense.

His height, jumping ability, and pressing toughness are qualities that Dybala, whose playing style is relatively soft, lacks.

83 minutes.

Juventus' attack reached Sandro on the left flank, where he was creating width.

The Brazilian defender delivered a direct cross!

The quality is very good.

Mandzukic, seizing the lead, outjumped Manolas to complete a high-quality backheel flick!

Alisson made a spectacular save, the ball, whose trajectory was slightly altered, struck the far post and bounced back.

Still shaken, Fazio kicked the ball out of bounds.

Di Francisco breathed a sigh of relief.

If Juventus extends their lead at this point, then the game will be effectively over.

fortunately!

Two minutes later, Roma, trailing in the score, made their second substitution.

Schick replaced Perotti, forming a twin-tower attacking duo with Dzeko.

The formation becomes a variant of 433, namely 4312.

Chang Huan, with his very free position, quickly posed a huge threat to Juventus' defense.

The match has reached the 87th minute.

The Roma attack advanced to Kolarov's feet on the left flank.

Chang Huan, who had moved to the left flank, adjusted the ball to his right foot.

A cross from a 45-degree angle!

Dzeko feinted at the near post, and the high-speed spinning ball bypassed the defender and found the substitute Schick.

The home fans, their eyes narrowed in intense concentration, a sense of foreboding washing over them.

A fraction of a second later.

My heart, which had been in my throat, finally slowly settled down.

Schick's header went over the crossbar.

"Roma's attacking players are really bad at finishing their chances —"

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei complained.

Chang Huan delivered a series of brilliant passes in the second half of the match, making Allegri very uneasy.

He waved his hand, signaling the players to get ready to camp in the trench for defense.

Maintaining the lead until the end of the match is a victory.

Juventus deliberately slowed down the pace, forcing the exhausted Roma players to press.

Finally, he launched the ball long into the attacking third.

Compared to Higuain's lone striker role, the success rate of aerial duels increases significantly with Mandzukic providing support up front.

Time is running out.

Juventus players also started lying on the grass.

Higuain, who fell to the ground after physical contact with Fazio, was helped up by the team doctor. He then pretended to be in great pain by baring his teeth.

The fourth official arrived at the technology zone and held up an electronic sign with the Arabic numeral "3".

"Time is running out for Rome."

Alisson, who originally planned to launch a long ball, saw Manolas accelerate back to receive the pass and changed to a short pass instead.

Mandzukic came off the bench full of energy and charged straight at Manolas without caring whether his teammates were vying for the ball.

Roma's two center-backs and De Rossi made a series of passes to capture the ball.

Feeling like he'd been teased, Mandzukic turned around, shrugged, and complained about why his teammates didn't try to steal the ball together.

But despite the complaints, defense still needs to be done.

With the game entering stoppage time, the team that was leading had a good defense and that would be victory.

The home fans visibly tensed up, their eyes glued to the pitch.

Chang Huan was extremely busy, constantly running around to connect the whole team.

With two tall players positioned in the penalty area, he passed the ball to Florenzi, who was making a run down the right flank.

The cross was of poor quality and was headed out of the penalty area by Barzagli.

Nainggolan held his position and passed the ball to Strootman.

After two consecutive passes, the ball returned to Chang Huan's feet in the center.

Several Roma players surged toward the penalty area, with right-back Florenzi even transforming into a right winger and entering the far corner of the box.

Chang Huan passed the ball to the left wing, but Kolarov's adjusted cross was of poor quality.

The ball landed too far back and was headed out of the penalty area by Chiellini.

Fortunately, Roma controlled the ball well at the second point, continuing to control the ball on the perimeter.

Juventus' midfield and defense were almost compressed into a single line by pushing their defensive line forward.

Chang Huan keenly sensed something; after passing the ball to Nainggolan on the left flank, he intentionally ran into the open space on the right.

Juventus defenders knew that all three Roma midfielders were long-range shooting experts, so they dared not be careless.

De Rossi, in the middle, passed the ball to the right, then passed it to the uninhabited area just outside the right side of the penalty area.

Chang Huan lightly touched the ball forward with the outside of his left foot, and Sandro and Chiellini quickly moved over.

Florenzi, having exited the penalty area, moved laterally to the right, cutting inside from behind Chang Huan who was dribbling forward.

However, Sandro and Chiellini didn't care how he ran; their attention remained focused on Chang Huan, whose left shoulder was drooping.

He suddenly flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot!

He suddenly accelerated, instantly widening the distance between himself and Sandro and Chiellini, who were blocking his way.

Marchisio noticed Chang Huan's adjustment of his footwork and decisively moved over from the edge of the penalty area to provide defensive support.

Unexpectedly, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.

He bumped right into Chiellini!

Nainggolan, positioned at the edge of the penalty area, made a run into the box.

Khedira followed closely behind.

at the same time.

The Juventus defenders in the penalty area looked somewhat bewildered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Huan used the outside of his left foot to push the ball more than a meter to the left rear, allowing the ball to roll from inside the penalty area to the edge of the penalty area.

The initial shot value inside the penalty area is lower than the long-range shot value.

The longer-range shot stats are higher when the buff is fully stacked!

The shooting angle was also wide enough.

Chang Huan lunged forward to adjust, stepping out with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area line, and then quickly struck the lower part of the rolling football with the inside of his left foot.

Pjanic, who had positioned himself in the penalty area, was too late to block him.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the home fans behind the goal, the football, rising from the ground with a strong inward curve, sliced ​​through the air above the Juventus penalty area, flying rapidly towards the top left corner of the goal in a (" shape.

Buffon, constantly adjusting his position in front of the goal, knew that there was no hope of making a save as he watched the exaggerated semi-circular arc in the air. All he could do was turn his head and keep his eyes on the ball.

A fraction of a second later.

The high-speed spinning football swished into the net with a resounding "whoosh" —

'

goooooooooool"

The commentators in the live commentary booth all drew out their words in unison.

"Oh God!"

"A draw!"

"Chang Huan's cut inside helped Roma equalize in the second minute of stoppage time!"

Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza shouted with great enthusiasm.

The home fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin were stunned and forgot to make a sound.

The Roman expeditionary force seized the opportunity to showcase themselves, hysterically unleashing their ecstatic joy at equalizing the score.

The Chinese student fans near the away team's stands naturally raised their hands to cover their foreheads, their faces filled with utter disbelief.

And — intoxication.

After realizing what was happening, they all let out a desperate shout.

After scoring the goal, Chang Huan spread his arms and sprinted towards the right corner flag, sliding on his knees.

Behind him were his ecstatic teammates.

The Roma players in the warm-up area rushed over excitedly and hugged Chang Huan as he slid to his feet.

The away team's coach, Di Francisco, who was directing the technical area, also ran wildly with his arms outstretched, venting his emotions over the last-minute equalizer.

"Buffon is completely unresponsive!"

"Chang Huan unleashed a world-class goal with a left-footed cut inside!"

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei excitedly exclaimed, "Roma has equalized in the second minute of stoppage time!"

"That was a really good shot!"

Commentator Xu Yang exclaimed, "The arc was incredibly wide; Buffon didn't even have time to react!"
