Chapter 38 - Official Best of the Night!
"The player who delivered the unparalleled game-winning goal was—"
"Chaaaaaaaaang!"
Enzo Marino, the home team announcer at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, used a highly rousing voice, drawing out his words to guide the Roma fans throughout the stadium.
"Huan!"
Nearly 50,000 Roma fans raised their voices hysterically.
Inter Milan fans who had traveled a long way stood blankly in the corner of the stands, with many instinctively raising their hands to cover their foreheads, all with an expression of disbelief.
The Inter Milan players on the field weren't doing much better.
I thought that winning two consecutive goals would lead to a dramatic comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2, or at the very least, a point away from home.
result……
They were defeated in the final moments!
Skriniar, who blocked the shot, put his hands on his hips, shook his head helplessly, and a strong sense of powerlessness swept over him.
He did his best, managing to block the attack even after being faked out.
His thigh even touched the ball!
Goalkeeper Handanovic angrily slammed his right fist into the grass in front of the goal, venting his frustration.
The Roma coaching staff clung to each other in excitement, celebrating their goal with unbridled joy.
Inter Milan's coaching staff were in a daze, unable to accept the reality of conceding a goal for a long time.
"Chang Huan's technical handling was really good. From the angle we were looking at, the ball that was kicked seemed to be within the goal area."
CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi, watching the replay, said: "So this goal should be credited to Chang Huan, not Skriniar's own goal."
After celebrating his goal with his teammates, Chang Huan stood still and made a unique celebration gesture facing the camera zooming in from the sidelines.
His hands, naturally raised, were balanced on the ground, with the tiger's mouths clasped together. The index and middle fingers of his right palm, facing outward, were straightened and joined together, pointing to the sky. The index and middle fingers of his right palm, facing inward, were straightened and joined together, pointing to the ground. The little fingers of both hands were lightly touching the palms.
(The image above represents the ideal state; the image below shows a failed attempt using the "Doubao" command.)
This is a signature hand gesture that a certain domestic hip-hop rap group gradually developed; they thought it was cool and started using it.
Reporters in the mixed zone kept pressing the shutter button, capturing Chang Huan's confident, sunny, and handsome demeanor at that moment.
When the Roma players returned to their own half, the scoreboard displayed the goal awarded to them as a deflection.
Chang Huan!
"The Serie A technical committee is extremely discerning!"
PP Sports commentator He Yu exclaimed excitedly, "Chang Huan has scored his first Serie A goal of the season! And it's also the first Serie A goal by a Chinese player!"
"Chaaaaaaaaang!"
The home fans in the stands also noticed this and excitedly let out drawn-out cries.
at the same time.
With four minutes of stoppage time already elapsed, Roma coach Di Francesco lodged a strong protest on the sidelines, pointing to the scoreboard showing the time.
"Why hasn't the final whistle blown yet?!"
The fourth official shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that the referee knew what he was doing.
The referee, Iratti, stood in the center circle and blew his whistle, seemingly wanting to give the away team one last chance to attack.
A deafening chorus of boos poured down.
The home fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee in this way.
The Roma players on the field are focused!
The near-last-second game-winning shot brought a surge of fighting spirit, like being injected with adrenaline.
They remained highly focused as Inter Milan tried to equalize with a final attacking opportunity.
Icardi passed the ball back, and Inter Milan players quickly passed it back to Roma players who were pressing them.
In the end, Handanovic, facing Chang Huan's tackle, dared not adjust and directly launched a long ball.
Inter Milan's two center-backs plus Icardi form a three-striker formation.
Roma's defenders are already tall: Fazio is 1.95 meters, Manolas is 1.89 meters, Dzeko is 1.93 meters, and Strootman and Lorenzo Pellegrini are both 1.86 meters.
Handanovic's cross towards the edge of the penalty area was headed away by Fazio.
Nainggolan took his position and raised his left arm.
Predict the ball's trajectory and clear it with a bicycle kick.
The ball was heading towards Inter Milan's half, and Chang Huan, who hadn't yet returned to his own half, didn't care about anything else and took the ball and started dribbling.
The referee, Iratti, noticed the assistant referee raising his flag, blowing his whistle, and raising his hand to signal offside.
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
"Beep~~"
Immediately afterwards, the final whistle blew, twice short and once long, to end the match.
"Match over!"
"Roma secured a 3-2 victory over Inter Milan thanks to a goal from our player Chang Huan in the third minute of stoppage time!"
CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi exclaimed with excitement: "One goal and two assists throughout the ninety minutes of the match—he was absolutely the biggest contributor to Roma's victory!"
Meanwhile.
Several sets of real-time data appeared before Chang Huan's eyes.

……
He didn't have time to look closely; he glanced at the subtitles, put them away, and stretched out his arms to greet his ecstatic teammates, celebrating their hard-fought victory.
"Chang! Your performance was absolutely unbeatable!"
"I hope your future continues to be as bright as your performance in today's game!"
"The coolest guy in the room! How are you feeling right now?"
"Hey~ You're pretty good, kid!"
"Hello, Key Youth!"
"..."
The Roma players at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome showed their determination by charging towards Chang Huan, the player who scored the winning goal.
The entire Olympic Stadium was transformed into a sea of red joy for the home fans.
The die-hard fans in the south stand waved their Red Wolf flags wildly.
The entire audience erupted in wave after wave of huge cheers.
A cameraman carrying a Steadicam slowly entered the stadium, his lens locking onto Chang Huan.

Chang Huan, who delivered two crucial assists and scored the game-winning goal, was named the official best player!
Icardi, who scored two goals in this match for Inter Milan, took the initiative to approach Chang Huan and exchange jerseys.
PP Sports commentator He Yu exclaimed excitedly: "Chang Huan impressed the Inter Milan captain in the recently concluded high-stakes match. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last!"
Commentator Liu Teng exclaimed with excitement: "Chang Huan's performance continues to be outstanding. I believe he will become a banner for Chinese football in the world! He might even surpass South Korean player Son Heung-min to become Asia's new number one. Why not?"
Chinese fans who hadn't turned off the live stream seemed to be witnessing the scene described by the commentator...
Reporters from the mixed zone entered the stadium to try and interview 17-year-old Chang Huan.
However, they were stopped by assistant coach Tome, who refused to be interviewed on the grounds that they were minors.
Chang Huan was spared the trouble of dealing with media reporters, saving him a lot of brain cells.
Di Francesco shook hands politely with Spalletti, then turned and ran quickly onto the pitch.
He gave high-fives to the Roma players on the field and symbolically patted their shoulders to comfort the Inter Milan players.
Finally, he ran up to Chang Huan and gave him a big hug: "The luckiest decision I made today was letting you start and play the whole game!"
"It's mainly because the boss is strategic and has excellent leadership skills."
Chang Huan flattered him.
Di Francisco laughed heartily: "You little rascal, you're the best talker!"
"Can I ask you a question, boss?"
"Can."
Will I be able to start in the next game?
"Train hard."
Despite the ambiguous nature of the response, Chang Huan was very happy to receive it.
After thanking the head coach, he followed his teammates around the field to thank their fans.
The Roma fans were exceptionally enthusiastic, chanting "Chang" and "Chang Huan" for a long time.
Chang Huan thoroughly enjoyed this moment.
He secretly resolved to continue performing well in future matches!
Post-match press conference.
Inter Milan coach Spalletti took responsibility for the loss, saying that conceding a goal in last seconds was indeed demoralizing, but the players had done their best.
Chang Huan, as a key player in deciding the outcome of the game, was naturally mentioned by reporters.
The former Roma coach pursed his lips, slightly unconvinced: "Without a doubt, he's a very talented young player, but young players often lack consistency. Hopefully, he can maintain this level of performance when he moves to the San Siro..."
In the mobile internet era, news spreads extremely quickly.
Chang Huan, who has already become a football expert and a front-page figure on live stream, has added a few more trending news items.
Even though it was past 2 a.m. Beijing time, Chinese fans were still enthusiastically scrolling through news about Chang Huan.
