Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 100: Another Christmas Surprise Featured in CHI Magazine! An Even More Generous Contract?

Christmas is coming.

Chang Huan declined several invitations to Christmas parties from her teammates' families.

After all, his teammates were spending Christmas with their families, so it was definitely not appropriate for him, an outsider, to do so.

Rather than creating a tense and awkward atmosphere, it's more worthwhile to stay in the apartment and play games or watch shows.

Of course, the main reason was that I was distracted during the crucial team battle because I was watching Eurosport's "Top 1 Goals in Europe" last night, which caused me to lose focus and lose the game.

We must win back those points today, no matter what!

He also gave Dino Matteo a two-day break so he could spend time with his family.

I played the game for most of the day, winning one game and losing another, until my stomach started growling before I finally quit and stretched.

As he was getting up to make dinner, his cell phone, which was on the coffee table, rang.

"Hmm? An unfamiliar number? That shouldn't be the case—"

Chang Huan has a strong awareness of fraud prevention. Since everyone who knows this phone number is an acquaintance, she didn't pay any attention to it.

But this number was dialed several times in a row.

He thought for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Hello Mr. Chang, did you order a deluxe pizza to be delivered before 6 PM?"

Chang Huan put the phone receiver to her right ear and listened to a strange female voice speaking Italian. She shook her head and said, "I didn't order pizza."

"Ahem... Oh, no, sir. Is your address XX, 6th floor, Triangle Apartment?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I've delivered the pizza to your door. Is it convenient for you to open the door and pick it up?"

The voice on the other end of the receiver had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang: "Ding-dong~"

"No way?"

Chang Huan walked to the door and looked through the peephole; there was indeed a large pizza box.

However, the person holding the box seemed to be intentionally covering their face.

He frowned slightly, thinking that he was a strong, almost adult man who would turn 18 in six days. Surely he wouldn't be the target of a home invasion robbery?

Moreover, the voice coming from the receiver was a woman's.

Robbery?

Damn, who's robbing whom?

ih)

Prepare yourself mentally, then open the door.

"Sorpresa! (Surprise!)"

Meanwhile, the young woman who had been covering her face with a pizza box with her hands revealed her face and leaned against the door.

"Chesorpresa! Efantastico (What a wonderful surprise!)!"

Chang Huan looked at the familiar pretty face, and his handsome face, which resembled the puzzled expression in the Shu Qi meme, instantly turned into excitement. He also realized that the strange female voice just now was due to the use of voice-changing software.

He reached forward with both hands and tightly embraced Julia Monsa's slender waist, forcefully pressing the two of them face to face.

"Oops~ the pizza is going to fall."

Julia Monsa felt the strong masculine scent emanating from him and couldn't help but scream. She instinctively wrapped her arms around Chang Huan's neck while tightly gripping the pizza box, her long legs naturally circling his waist.

Forget about the pizza, think about yourself first.

As Chang Huan smelled the fresh scent of jasmine and the aroma of herbal shampoo wafting into her nostrils, a surge of restless energy rushed to her brain.

He carried her back to the apartment, slamming the door shut with a powerful left kick.

Julia-Monsa tossed the pizza onto the sofa, hugged her boyfriend's neck tightly, and whispered in his ear, her face flushed, "I brought your favorite Turin century-old brand jelly and Crazy Jumping Rice Tang. Shall we eat the pizza first?"

"Huh? You know, my favorite food is pizza, it has nothing to do with anything else."

Chang Huan, who was almost at the door of the room, suddenly slammed on the brakes and declared righteously, "Hey, the key thing is that I'm actually hungry."

The two sat at the dining table in the living room, feeding each other bites of food.

They smiled at each other.

This is the charm of absence making the heart grow fonder.

We usually focus our energy on work, and only spend time together during holidays.

It's incredibly novel.

They ate and drank their fill.

Julia-Monsa lay in Chang Huan's arms, chatting about interesting things at work and what had happened in the past two days.

Chang Huan also learned from the conversation why she suddenly came to visit. First, she heard that she had given her personal assistant two days off and concluded that her daily life would be undisciplined, so she told her parents a little lie and flew directly from Palermo to Rome.

followed by----

See if he's keeping a mistress.

Hearing this, Chang Huan turned her head, gently pinching her fair and smooth chin with her left hand: "So, are you going to examine me now?"

"Absolutely!"

Julia-Monsa's pretty face flushed, but she showed no embarrassment; on the contrary, she winked defiantly.

She gently wrapped her long arms around Chang Huan's neck, leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to wash up."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Chang Huan appeared calm on the surface, but was secretly overjoyed.

This is the scene we've been waiting for!

Thinking of the beautiful view from the window, I would draw the curtains and enjoy it for more than ten minutes. When I got tired, I would go to the sofa and lie down to rest for a while.

Not yet satisfied, they went to the dining table and the washbasin.

Enjoy the multifaceted changes in sensory emotions and soft whispers.

Happy times always fly by.

Chang Huan was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue. He looked at the exhausted Julia-Monsa and laughed, "You're really bad at everything but love to play."

She was on the verge of tears: "What exactly are you made of? I've trained in sports for years—"

"Does rhythmic gymnastics and yoga count?"

'

He looked at his girlfriend, who was rolling her eyes, smiled, ruffled her long, light blonde, slightly wavy hair, and leaned down to kiss her forehead: "Let's go to sleep."

My two-day break in Rome is over.

The team will return at 10:00 AM on the 26th.

They are preparing to face Sassuolo in the 19th round of the league four days later at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

As usual, Chang Huan arrived at the Trigoria training base early. After having a hearty breakfast in the first team restaurant and resting for a while, his teammates gradually arrived.

What surprised him was that his teammates would almost always give him a thumbs up, saying things like, "Wow, I never knew you could do this!"

Similar to, "Are you that good?"

When head coach Di Francisco and assistant coach Tome arrived at the restaurant, they also looked at him with strange eyes.

De Rossi's strange gaze swept over him, and he said solemnly, "Chang, I personally think you should find a more private place to live."

"What do you mean, 'what'?"

Chang Huan put her right hand on Lorenzo Pellegrini's shoulder and pulled him back: "What exactly happened?"

"you do not know?"

"I just finished breakfast a little while ago, what do you know?"

"You've been featured again in the latest update posted early this morning by the verified social media account of CHI magazine, and it's already got over a million likes."

Lorenzo Pellegrini pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed Chang Huan the post from the verified Instagram account of "cHI".

[Chang-huan's Christmas Eve revelry was the envy of everyone: An anonymous resident of the fifth floor of the Triangle Apartment complained about the unusual sounds coming from Chang-huan's apartment that lasted for over two hours!]

"凸（#皿#）！"

Chang Huan couldn't help but complain, "This magazine is a real jerk!"

"But we all love watching it, haha————"

El Shaarawy glanced at what Chang Huan was reading and smiled happily.

Chang Huan, looking utterly bewildered, glanced at the time on his phone. There was still some time before daily training. He returned to the locker room and took out his phone to call his agent, Vinnie-Greira.

Captain De Rossi is right; he really should move to a more private place.

When I first arrived in Rome, living in the Triangle Apartment was fine, but as its popularity skyrocketed, it became less suitable to continue living in the Triangle Apartment, which offered less privacy.

Vinnie-Greira said there was no problem and that he would try to complete the mission before 2018.

Friday at 8:45 p.m.

The first match of the 19th round of the 2017-2018 Serie A season was played at the Ezio-Chida Stadium.

Napoli defeated Crotone 1-0 away from home thanks to a goal from Hamsik in the 17th minute.

The remaining nine matches of this round are all scheduled for Saturday, December 30th.

Roma's home game against Sassuolo kicks off at 3 p.m. local time, along with five other matches.

Lorenzo Pellegrini will face his former club, Sassuolo.

This team is ranked 14th in the league, only five points above the relegation zone.

The pressure to avoid relegation is still quite high.

There are no other plans for the visit to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Counter-attack!

To be precise, there was only defense and no counterattack.

The packed audience erupted in a continuous, thunderous roar of cheers.

The home team launched a relentless offensive.

Chang Huan, who became the core of Roma's attack, delivered a series of brilliant passes, but Dzeko and Perotti failed to capitalize on them.

Until the end of the first half.

Chang Huan received the ball in the attacking third and broke through to the edge of the penalty area before being brought down.

Kolarov's high-quality free kick caused goalkeeper Consigli to fumble the ball, and Lorenzo Pellegrini reacted quickly in front of the goal, appearing first at the landing point and scoring a follow-up shot that broke through his former club's goal.

Sassuolo, trailing in the score, did not intensify their attack, clearly intending to minimize their losses.

Breaking down a tight defense has always been a problem that Roma has struggled to solve.

With Chang Huan under close marking, it was difficult for him to create scoring opportunities.

They controlled possession for most of the second half, but couldn't break through Consigli's defense.

In the 77th minute, Chang Huan's cross-shot from the right edge of the penalty area hit the left post and bounced back, allowing the sharp-nosed Dzeko to tap in the rebound and extend the lead.

Roma defeated Sassuolo 2-0 with two rebound goals, bringing their points total at the halfway point of the season to 51.

Later in the match, Inter Milan and Lazio played to a 0-0 draw.

In the last match of the night, Juventus defeated Verona 3-1 away from home.

With a two-goal advantage, they overtook Napoli to move into second place in the league.

Inter Milan and Lazio, each with one point, have seen their lead over the leading group quietly widen.

After securing a victory in their final match of 2017, the Roma players didn't return to the Trigolia training ground until the afternoon of the following day.

Preparing for the first major match of 2018.

They will host AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Italian Cup Quarter-Finals!

If this match had been played in previous seasons or at the beginning of the season, the media would have given it a headline that the two teams were evenly matched.

However, many media headlines for this Italian Cup match were essentially the same.

A clash with no suspense.

Roma finished the first half of the Serie A season with 51 points.

而米兰结束19轮的战绩非常糟糕，7胜4平8负积25分排名第11，连罗马一半的积分都不到。

Playing away from home again, it's understandable that they're not favored.

Time flew by as preparations progressed, and it felt like the last day of 2017 arrived in the blink of an eye.

Agent Vinnie Grella found a new home through Dino Matteo.

Chang Huan was able to leave the relatively private Triangle Apartment and move to the high-end gated apartment, Normentana Park Mansion.

As for the rent, Rome will still be responsible for it.

His performance in the first half of the season was outstanding. With the winter transfer window approaching, Roma's management is worried and is preparing a more lucrative contract.
