Chapter 61 Technical Poverty Alleviation? Eight Consecutive Wins at the Start!
"refraction!"
"Roma's tactical corner kick strategy yielded remarkable results!"
"Danielle De Rossi's first-time shot deflected off Lorenzo Pellegrini's back!"
"The ball, launched at an even wider angle, nestled into the top right corner of the goal amidst the despair of the Neapolitans!"
"Roma extends their lead in the 82nd minute!"
As the home fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome unleashed their passion, the commentators in the commentary booth spoke eloquently.
Lorenzo Pellegrini felt the overwhelming fervor and turned around in surprise to see the ball, now devoid of momentum, already inside the goal.
His mind couldn't help but wander...
Does this ball count as mine?
The Roma players on the field were very pure, running straight towards De Rossi, who was firing from the outside, to celebrate the goal that extended the lead.
The goal scored at the end of the second half was tantamount to sealing the victory!
The huge cheers from the crowd came in waves.
The Napoli players stood there, heads in their hands, bewildered, becoming mere background figures.
After celebrating the goal with his assistant, Di Francisco quickly discussed how to make adjustments.
With just over seven minutes left in regulation time, his priority was to secure the three points.
Before the game restarts.
The broadcast showed the scoreboard at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
"Serie A officially credited the goal to number 7, Lorenzo Pellegrini."
CCTV-5 commentator Liu Jiayuan announced loudly, "That means the assist is credited to De Rossi."
"It's a bit of a pity, otherwise Chang Huan could have scored his first career hat-trick of assists!"
Commentator Zhang sighed.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who was present to watch the game, had a different focus than the others.
He looked at Chang Huan, who was wearing a red number 99 jersey, and felt a slight worry about the third round of the Champions League group stage next week.
Logically speaking, it would be very difficult for a young player like Chang Huan, who has poor physical strength, to adapt to professional matches.
result……
So dreamy!
Most of Roma's creative and threatening attacks were created by this 17-year-old player.
Dribbling past opponents, organizing plays, long passes, cutting inside...
"Headache!"
He rubbed his temples with his index fingers.
Napoli coach Sarri took several puffs of cigarettes in the away team's bench, calming his uneasy and restless emotions.
He used the remaining two substitutions to see if it could turn the tide.
Diawara and Zielinski, who were nominated for the Golden Boy award, have been replaced by Hamsik and Alan.
Seeing Sarri play two cards in a row, Di Francisco consulted with the coaching staff for ideas.
After a brief discussion.
First, replace the attack-minded but defensively weak Lorenzo Pellegrini with the all-around defensive midfielder Gonalon.
The intention behind this substitution is quite clear.
Strengthen defense.
The coaching staff had originally planned to substitute Chang Huan in preparation for the Champions League third round away game at Stamford Bridge next week.
However, considering that removing it would stifle creativity, the proposal was rejected.
Despite his abnormal physical condition, he is perfectly capable of staying on the court and serving as a core offensive player.
His defensive positioning is deep, so there won't be any gaps in his defense.
This decision allowed Roma to gain considerable control in the final minutes and ensure the safety of their right flank defense.
In the final minutes, the three midfielders focused on defense.
At the same time, they are also managing their physical energy effectively to prepare for the crucial Champions League group stage match next week.
This means that the task of transitioning from defense to offense must be completed by Chang Huan.
Chang Huan does this job very well. As long as his teammates can pass the ball to him smoothly, he can always stabilize possession.
Time ticked by, and the regular ninety minutes came to an end.
Four minutes of stoppage time.
For the away team, scoring two goals is more than enough.
However, playing away from home and with their morale damaged, the Napoli players had no confidence in scoring two goals in a row.
The score remained unchanged until the end of the game.
The live broadcast director zoomed in on Chang Huan's face with a close-up shot.
"Oh? Chang Huan has been named Man of the Match again in this key game?"
CCTV-5 commentator Liu Jiayuan exclaimed with enthusiasm: "But... well-deserved! Two brilliant assists in the first half, and in the second half, it was Lorenzo Pellegrini's penultimate assist that led to the deflected goal!"
In other words, Chang Huan led a Roma team that underwent a major overhaul this season to defeat the formidable Napoli!
Commentator Zhang Heihei exclaimed loudly: "Eight consecutive wins to start the Serie A season! Leading Roma to become the only unbeaten team in Serie A this season!"
"With 3 goals and 8 assists in eight league matches, Chang Huan may not be as impressive as striker Dzeko on paper, but fans who have watched Roma's games know that he is Roma's true attacking core. His key statistics, such as dribbles, threatening passes, and scoring creativity, are all ranked first in Serie A!"
Liu Jiayuan introduced it as if it were a treasure trove: "It can absolutely be called poverty alleviation through technology!"
The match ended, and Chang Huan blinked.
The subtitles that had been floating in front of him disappeared, and he smiled as he hugged his nearby teammates and shook hands with the defeated Napoli players.
They walked all the way to Napoli's goal and found former Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.
He recently joined Liverpool's youth academy, and this Spanish goalkeeper is still Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper.
"That was a really good kick."
Reina took off his gloves and gave Chang Huan a big hug.
"Hey, you can do it too. You made some great saves, denying us several sure goals, and... cough, you saved my shot."
Chang Huan said, shaking hands.
"Sigh, I'm already 35, almost at retirement age."
"You're wrong about that. In our country's parlance, it's 'still got it,' meaning he can definitely play as a starter for at least another three to five years!"
"Haha, I hope so."
The two exchanged jerseys, patted each other on the shoulder, and returned to their respective teams.
Chang Huan, behind his teammates including captain De Rossi and vice-captain Florenzi, circled the field to thank the home fans who cheered him on throughout the match.
Walk to the South Stand for die-hard fans.
De Rossi and Florenzi worked together seamlessly, pushing the unsuspecting Chang Huan to the front.
"Chaaaaaaaang——"
A huge, drawn-out sound spread from the die-hard fans' stand and quickly swept across the entire Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
These fans know that Roma's eight-game winning streak in Serie A this season was largely thanks to Hugo Nguema!
A deafening roar swept over him, deeply moving Chang Huan. Facing the passionate Roma fans, his youthful face contorted with rage, he screamed hysterically, "Roma! Roma!! Roma!!!"
Post-match press conference.
In an interview, Sarri responded with obvious dissatisfaction: "Even when playing away, we controlled the game, but that's football; the side with the advantage doesn't necessarily win."
His post-match comeback immediately drew criticism from the local Rome media.
The top-of-the-table clash of the 8th round of the 2017-2018 Serie A season has concluded.
Roma came back from a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1, securing their eighth consecutive victory and becoming the only undefeated team in Serie A this season.
Dzeko and Chang Huan continue to lead the scoring and assist charts, respectively.
Roma fans have been having a particularly good time lately.
It was thought that selling several key players this summer would lead to a serious decline in the team's performance.
Unexpectedly, it rose instead of falling!
The boss, Pallotta, was also in a very good mood.
The team performs well, and the fans don't criticize them; they're happy with their food.
The following day, Chang Huan, who provided two assists, made the front page of several Italian sports media outlets.
Chinese sports newspapers, including some current affairs newspapers, football communities, and comprehensive sports websites are all reporting on it extensively.
Sunday evening, local time in Italy.
The first Milan derby of the Serie A season kicked off at the San Siro stadium.
Icardi was in superb form in this match, helping Inter Milan take the lead three times and maintain the advantage until the end of the game.
Inter Milan ultimately defeated AC Milan 3-2.
With the weekend league matches concluded, the focus of mainstream European football media has shifted.
The third round of the Champions League group stage will take place midweek.
Roma also received good news: Strootman, who was injured while playing away at the San Siro, has been cleared by the team doctor to participate in the midweek Champions League match.
