Chapter 69 Before the winter transfer window even opens, transfer rumors about a supernova have alre
Chang Huan performed exceptionally well in key Champions League matches against Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.
He was a carry in every game in Serie A, which immediately attracted the attention of many European giants.
This focus extends beyond the competitive aspect; it also includes economic considerations.
Well known.
China is a market with enormous development potential.
Once the club signs Chang Huan, who is extremely skilled in competition, it can get a huge share of the massive Chinese market!
Chelsea's technical director for transfers, Michael Emenalo, told reporters: "Chang Huan is a very talented young player, and we are evaluating him and trying to sign him in the winter transfer window."
Other top London clubs, such as Arsenal and Tottenham, have also expressed strong interest in Chang Huan.
Liverpool fans were extremely anxious when they learned that major clubs planned to sign Chang Huan, a product of Liverpool's youth academy.
Amidst the rapidly forming media storm, sporting director Michael Eduardo gave an interview to the mouthpiece newspaper Les Echos: "We have Chang-Huan as a priority, but don't forget... we also have Filipe and Mohammed. For the team, strengthening our squad with excellent center-backs is the top priority."
The implication is that the team already has more established stars like Coutinho and Salah in the same position, and the most important thing to improve right now is to bring in an excellent center-back. They have the right of first refusal to buy back Chang Huan, and they hope that fans will not be impatient and get swayed by rumors.
Chinese football fans on domestic football communities like Dongqiudi and sports websites like Live9 have already created quite a stir.
Chelsea fans, Manchester United fans, Liverpool fans, Tottenham fans, Real Madrid fans, Barcelona fans, Bayern Munich fans...
Everyone hopes that Chang Huan can join the team they support.
Meanwhile, Chinese fans in Rome used a Ծ‸Ծ emoji: Ah Huan, please don't go! o(╥﹏╥)o
Major European football newspapers such as the Manchester Evening News, Marca, Mundo Deportivo, Bild, and France Football have joined in.
The world's top ten betting companies have even offered odds...
Chang Huan, upon returning to Rome, took a car back to the Trigoria training base.
He stared blankly at the dozens of Roma fans holding up banners and signs at the entrance.
The gist is: Chang, could you please not leave?
It is clear that fans were influenced by public opinion on social media platforms.
A sharp-eyed Roma fan shouted, "It's Chang!"
"often--!"
"You'll stay in Rome, right?"
"Could I take a little of your time to respond to this trending topic on Instagram?"
"If you want to leave, could you at least bring us a championship trophy?"
In the blink of an eye, the fans had completely surrounded the car at the entrance.
Dino Matteo had to slam on the brakes.
Chang Huan rolled down the car window and looked at the Roma fans with pleading eyes: "Don't let the media sway me. I'm very happy in Rome. I have a coach who trusts me, teammates who support me, and fans like you who love me. Unless the team doesn't want me anymore..."
After hearing Chang Huan's answer, the Roma fans were no longer so anxious.
Upon arriving at the Trigoria training base, Chang Huan changed into his training shirt as usual and headed towards the first team's canteen.
After selecting a hearty and nutritious breakfast, a travel-worn head coach, Di Francesco, approached him: "Chang, come to the office after breakfast."
"Okay...okay."
He could probably guess what it was.
as predicted!
"Chang, you're not leaving the team this winter transfer window, are you?"
Di Francisco had spoken with Monchi, who made it clear that there were no items not for sale once the price was right, so he wanted to find a way through Chang Huan.
After all, a transfer requires the consent of the person involved.
As for summer windows, there's nothing that can be done about it.
The team needs to achieve UEFA's financial balance target before the end of next summer's transfer window.
"Boss, first of all... I'm very grateful for your trust in me. You know... I'm a..."
Upon hearing this, Di Francisco's heart skipped a beat.
No, what you fear most is what happens.
They've just started the league season with eight consecutive wins and are on a three-game winning streak in the Champions League...
Chang Huan looked up and saw the head coach across the desk with a grim face, realizing that his tone and manner of speaking could easily cause misunderstandings.
He coughed lightly, then changed the subject, saying solemnly, "What I mean is that the boss trusts me, so I definitely won't leave during the winter transfer window. If conditions allow, I hope to stay in Rome for a while longer. Nobody can predict the future, but at least for now, only you will absolutely trust me and give me your full support."
"Pshaw~ You scared me."
Di Francisco breathed a sigh of relief.
Roma's sporting director Monchi told Di Francesco that no player was untouchable, but also knew it would be difficult to sell them for a high price in the winter transfer window.
To minimize public scrutiny, he gave an interview to a reporter from the Italian newspaper *La Gazzetta dello Sport*: "We have indeed received a lot of interest from various teams regarding Chang Huan, but believe me, Chang's future is in Rome, and he is not for sale!"
These words are just for fun to veteran fans.
Not for sale.
It's simply that the transfer fee didn't meet their expectations.
For many Roma fans, the statements from Chang Huan, the person involved, and sporting director Monchi have brought them considerable reassurance.
However, the league matches played away at the Turin Olympic Stadium were somewhat affected.
Although Chang Huan stated in the locker room and to the fans that he would not leave, professional football knows that the future is full of uncertainty.
With Chang Huan's outstanding performance, Roma achieved an eight-game winning streak in the league and a three-game winning streak in the Champions League, creating the team's best start in all competitions.
Given that Chang Huan played the full 90 minutes in two consecutive key matches, but was relegated to the bench for the league match against Torino, players inevitably suspected that this was a contingency plan for Chang Huan's departure.
This has greatly affected the team's overall performance.
Torino goalkeeper Sirigu once again displayed superb skills.
The first half has ended.
The scoreboard still showed a score of 0:0.
Twenty minutes into the second half, Chang Huan replaced the returning Defrel.
This substitution had an immediate effect.
Chang Huan's possession of the ball on the flanks and in the half-spaces always poses a threat to Torino's defensive system.
In dire circumstances, the only option left is to resort to fouling tactics.
77 minutes.
It was Chang Huan's cut inside from the right wing that drew a foul from Baselli, earning the team a direct free kick in an excellent central position.
Distance from the goal: 28 meters.
Kolarov, a free-kick specialist, unleashed a high-quality, world-class free-kick with his left foot.
With perfect power and angle, the ball flew straight into the top left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Sirigu was too far away to reach him.
Chang Huan, standing to the side, couldn't hide her envy.
But he knew that sooner or later he would become a free-kick specialist like Kolarov.
The attribute panel values of the auxiliary system will only increase and will not decrease. Currently, the free kick attribute is 80 and the curve is 84, which means that by increasing lower body strength and core strength, one can catch up with Kolarov.
Trailing at home, Torino had no choice but to go all out and intensify their attack.
Roma's opportunities for quick counter-attacks are increasing.
Chang Huan's transition from defense to attack, through ball control and through passes, created a series of excellent opportunities.
Unfortunately, El Shaarawy and Dzeko failed to capitalize on their chances.
Torino coach Mihajlovic made timely tactical adjustments, increasing the intensity of his marking on Chang Huan and limiting his space to move.
Roma, who were leading, didn't try to extend their lead and opted to secure the victory.
Having played a crucial Champions League match midweek, their overall physical condition is likely to be depleted, so securing three points away from home is the key objective.
The match has ended.
Roma defeated Torino 1-0 away from home.
After the game, Chang Huan, who was thanking the visiting team, kissed the team badge to help the team shake off the negative publicity.
The meaning is obvious.
They secured all three points away from home, achieving a nine-game winning streak at the start of the league season.
Roma fans realize that breaking the record of ten consecutive wins at the start of the Serie A season set in 2013-2014 is within reach!
Next up are two consecutive home league matches.
They will face Crotone, ranked 17th, and Bologna, ranked 8th.
If they perform normally, they will most likely win.
In this round, Napoli and Inter Milan played to a goalless draw at the San Paolo Stadium, while Roma extended their lead.
Title favorites Juventus broke their two-game winless streak with a 6-2 away victory against Udinese.
The 2017-2018 Serie A season has concluded with nine rounds completed, and Roma leads the table with 27 points.
Napoli, Juventus, and Lazio all have 22 points, ranking 2nd to 4th respectively based on their goal difference.
