Chapter 41 The New Fragment of the Heavenly Eye Shows Its Power!
After the charity match in Rome, the team will have three days off in principle.
However, the coaching staff did not refuse the players' request to return to the Trigoria training base.
Apart from Nainggolan, the naturally carefree South American players chose to take a short vacation, while Chang Huan, other substitutes, and fringe players gave up their holidays.
After a week of observation, coach Di Francisco and his team found that Chang Huan had made some improvements in subtle technical aspects, explosiveness, and physical fitness.
Especially physical fitness.
After playing the full match against Inter Milan at home with cramps, his physical condition improved dramatically!
Having the stamina to play a full 90 minutes, and possessing outstanding individual ability and tactical contributions, means that valuable substitution slots can be reserved for other players who need to be brought on as substitutes.
The coaching staff unanimously decided to give Chang Huan more opportunities to compete in the future!
Before we knew it, the second international match day of September had arrived.
The Chinese men's national football team will play its final match in Group A of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
Chang Huan watched the live broadcast of the game from her apartment in Rome.
Just like any other fan, I let out a sigh of regret when an attack came close to scoring.
The area in front of the gate was fraught with danger, but a false alarm would have brought a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile.
He also puts himself into the game.
How would the game go if I played?
Will it fit the ideal scenario imagined by football bloggers and fans?
he does not know……
The first half ended in a draw.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Qatar took the lead.
Fortunately, within nine minutes in the middle of the second half, Xiao Zhi and Wu Lei scored two goals in quick succession to take the lead!
Khalifa International Stadium: 2-1 comeback victory against Qatar!
They finished their Asian Cup qualifying campaign with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, accumulating 12 points.
The other two final matches in the same group both ended in draws.
独一档的伊朗6胜4平22分不败榜首，南韩4胜3平3负积15分拿到A组第二。
Syria edged out Uzbekistan on goal difference to finish third in Group A.
Next month, during the two international match days, they will compete with Australia, the third-placed team in Group B, for a spot in the international playoffs.
Chinese media and fans are somewhat upset.
Although ranked fifth, they are only one point behind third-placed Syria.
Everyone knows there's no going back, but the media and fans always seem to think about Chang Huan being called up for the qualifier against Syria in June...
With this 17-year-old's scoring ability, he could very well help the Chinese national team finish third in their group in the World Cup Asian Qualifiers!
The Chinese Football Association, which issued the penalty to Chang Huan, and Yu Hongchen, the protagonist of the "cross-legged apology incident," were naturally pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
With the September international match days over, direct entry tickets for the Russia World Cup are almost all available.
The attention of football media and fans worldwide has returned to Europe, the center of world football.
The highly anticipated top five European football leagues have resumed.
The Champions League will also make a comeback in the new season.
The first match of the day will be played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin at 6 p.m. local time on September 9.
Juventus secured a 3-0 home victory against Chievo thanks to an own goal by Hetemaj, a goal by Higuain, and a goal by Dybala.
Three consecutive wins to lead the Serie A standings!
Roma's away game against Sampdoria in the third round of the league started at 3 pm the following day.
The team set off a day earlier than planned.
Board a flight from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Genoa.
Sampdoria defeated newly promoted Benevento and Florence 2-1 in the first two rounds, and are in fifth place behind Roma with a goal difference of one.
At 12:30 pm on the 10th.
Inter Milan easily defeated newly promoted SPAL 2-0 at the San Siro stadium thanks to goals from Icardi and Perisic.
3 PM.
Up to five league matches kicked off simultaneously.
Udinese vs Genoa, Verona vs Florence, Cagliari vs Crotone, Atalanta vs Sassuolo, and Sampdoria vs Roma!
This timing is very favorable for Chinese fans.
The match kicks off at 9 PM Beijing time.
A large number of young fans sat in front of their computer screens waiting for the game to start.
Older or older fans patiently waited for CCTV-5 to broadcast the live stream.
With Chang Huan contributing one goal and two assists in the crucial match against Inter Milan at Roma's home stadium, CCTV-5 and PP Sports distributed all of Roma's league matches this season early on.
One hour before the match.
The Italian Serie A league has released the starting lineups submitted by both teams.
Chang Huan's name was prominently listed!
And so, even more fans began to wait.
Ferraris Stadium.
Despite having a stronger overall squad, Roma kept a low profile and focused on stability in the early stages.
They handed the initiative to Sampdoria.
The team, centered around 21-year-old Uruguayan defensive midfielder Torreira, did not rush into attacks after gaining possession.
The main strategy is to control the tempo, relying on the full-backs to push forward and widen the attack, forming a triangular attack on the flanks with the wide midfielders and the inward-closing forwards.
Prioritize passing the ball to the flanks to see if we can penetrate them.
Di Francesco's pre-match tactics were meticulous, leaving Sampdoria no open opportunities.
After weathering the home team's initial onslaught, the attacking trident led by Dzeko, Perotti, and Chang Huan gradually found their rhythm and began to create scoring opportunities in Sampdoria's defensive half.
Sampdoria coach Giampaolo's pre-match tactics were highly targeted.
The midfield diamond press effectively shut down Roma's central defense.
A low, solid defensive position ensures safety near the penalty area, greatly reducing the pressure on goalkeeper Viviano.
The tactics were very well-planned.
This did indeed limit the effectiveness of the Roman trio.
but……
Chang Huan is a player with a strong ability to read the game.
He possesses excellent footwork, strong positioning ability, a wide field of vision, and outstanding ability to directly threaten the goal.
With the Roma trio restricted, his dropping back to receive passes became the key to breaking through Sampdoria's defense.
As a right winger in the formation, Chang Huan has a large area of activity.
Sampdoria's left-back Strinic, who was in his position, was at a loss for what to do.
If we don't follow through, the diamond-shaped cut will be torn open.
Stay close, or Florenzi will exploit the gaps left behind.
Giampaolo made a quick tactical adjustment, retreating to the 30-meter zone.
Focus on low-post defense.
The diamond-shaped cut became a zone defense, forcing Chang Huan to pass the ball back through physical contact.
It did have some effect at first.
As the match progressed, Roma's attack also saw some changes.
Roma's attacks frequently came down the right flank, which resulted in Sampdoria's defensive forces being concentrated on the opposing left flank.
The home fans spared no effort in providing tremendous psychological support to their players.
The intense match quickly came to an end after thirty minutes.
Two minutes later.
Sampdoria's attack ended hastily, and Roma goalkeeper Alisson launched an attack with a powerful throw-in.
Chang Huan, positioned at the intersection of the right flank and the center line, drew the attention of onlookers and then passed the ball with his left foot to Strootman, who had crossed the center line to receive it.
Immediately, his right shoulder slumped down.
He feigned a move to bypass Strinic, who was guarding him on the outside, and executed a one-two pass, a wall-running style of play.
Strinic instinctively retreated, and left midfielder Linetty followed suit, shifting his weight to the left to prepare to cover.
Unexpectedly, Chang Huan lifted his left foot, which was supporting his body, onto the ground, bent his knee, and used the reaction force to instantly complete the shift of his center of gravity!
Improving two points of acceleration attribute has a huge effect on the details!
Strinich reached out to pull.
Chang Huan raised her right hand and forcefully pried open the door to maintain a safe distance.
With a step of his left foot, he controlled and dribbled the ball back from Strootman to the right front, narrowly getting past the attacking midfielder Ramirez who had made a foul by extending his leg.
Linetti, who had been prepared to cover, spotted Chang Huan's spike, took a step forward with his left foot, and extended his right leg to clear the ball!
I never expected this.
Chang Huan used the inside of his right foot to connect with the ball with lightning speed, flicking it towards the center and getting to control it first.
Fried meatballs!
Sky Sports Italy commentator Eduardo Testoni exclaimed excitedly, "Oh? He's received the ball and dribbled past two players in a row!"
In an instant, Torreira, the only defensive midfielder who had moved from the center to the left flank, was helpless.
Defense has always been based on the principle of having the ball.
Nainggolan made a very clever run, moving from behind Chang Huan, who was slowing down, towards the right flank.
Torreira, fighting and retreating, kept a close eye on Chang Huan's feet, while occasionally glancing at Nainggolan's positioning out of the corner of his eye.
As Nainggolan accelerated and was about to overtake Chang Huan at a horizontal position, Chang Huan, who was dribbling the ball, raised his left foot, pretending to pass the ball to him.
The movement was so realistic that it caused the 21-year-old Uruguayan midfield prodigy to misjudge the situation.
He ran toward Nainggolan's forward run before Chang Huan's left foot touched the ball.
Once the ball is passed, it's a precise interception!
However, Chang Huan's newly acquired Heavenly Eye Fragment - Predictive Awareness - detected Torreira's defensive intentions in advance and instead made full use of his ankle flexibility.
Fake fax dialing!
With the outside of his left foot, he deftly flicked the ball towards the center, past the belatedly reacting Torreira.
The right midfielder Praet, who had tucked in, decisively adjusted his footing and used the momentum of his sinking left foot to slide out!
Just then.
Chang Huan struck the rolling football with the instep of his left foot, like a golf putter.
Beresineski quickly retreated, keeping an eye on Perotti's wing-cutting run on the outside, and instinctively stretched out his leg to intercept the ball as it rolled rapidly along the ground.
However, the football moves much faster!
"Oops!"
Beresines watched helplessly as the ball almost grazed his left toes as Perotti made a run towards the left side of the penalty area.
Nainggolan, who had run into open space but failed to receive Chang Huan's pass, was initially a little annoyed, but when he saw the through ball aimed at penetrating the defense, his dissatisfaction was instantly replaced by excitement.
Perotti, who almost became the culprit in the last league match, controlled the ball well with the outside of his right foot and adjusted his footwork.
The 33-year-old right center-back Silvestre was previously drawn away by Dzeko's run, and his turn around was like an aircraft carrier struggling to turn around.
There's absolutely no hope for them!
The other center-back, Ferrari, was clever; he raised his hand to "remind" the linesman that the attacking team was offside.
The assistant referee, running along the sideline towards the baseline, remained completely calm, his right hand gripping the side flag tightly against the outside of his right thigh, the tip of the flag pointing towards the ground.
Don't go offside!
Perotti swung his right foot from the edge of the left side of the six-yard box.
Shoot!
Viviano, halfway through his attack, instinctively leaned to the left as he looked at the incoming ball.
Before the left hand could even finish its seemingly effortless scoop, the ball, rolling at high speed close to the ground, had already swept across the coverage area, quickly crossed the goal line, and nestled into the far corner of the net…
