Chapter 76 A Masterful Performance!
Chapter 76 A Masterful Performance!
"De Rossi passed the ball directly to Chang Huan."
"Emergency stop!"
"Florenzi is supporting from the right."
"Chang Huan, speed up!"
"Wow~ Marseille Turn!"
"Through pass!"
"El Shaarawy!"
"Get past Courtois!"
"Goal!"
"Roma gets off to a dream start at home!"
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei spoke with great passion and eloquence.
"Unbelievable! Roma, in red-hot form, scored their first goal in less than a minute!"
Commentator Xu Yang exclaimed, "Eighty percent of the credit for this goal goes to Chang Huan! His sudden acceleration past Kanté, his high-speed dribbling, and his deadly through ball!"
El Shaarawy, who scored the goal, ran towards the right corner flag with his arms outstretched, jumping up and shouting to express his ecstatic joy at the goal.
Florenzi put his arm around Chang Huan's shoulder and ran towards El Shaarawy together to celebrate the goal.
The entire Stadio Olimpico in Rome became a sea of joy for Rome fans.
The Chelsea players looked at each other.
They spread their hands, their faces full of helplessness.
Kanté, who was "played" by Chang Huan's Marseille maneuver, is still replaying the scene of being passed by him.
It was clear that the distance between the player and the ball was too far, making it a perfect opportunity to intercept the ball.
result……
Marseille turnaround turns the tide!
Not only did he get past him and his teammates, but he also gained very comfortable space to dribble and advance the ball.
Wearing a suit, Conte stood angrily in the away team's technical control area, his face contorted in a rage, his body language agitated, and his mouth full of curses.
Clearly, they were very unhappy with the team conceding a goal less than a minute into the game.
The overwhelming fervor only fueled his anger.
Di Francesco and his assistants celebrated excitedly with high-fives, a stark contrast to the lifeless atmosphere on the visiting team's bench.
The live broadcast recreated the entire exciting goal.
It started with De Rossi's sudden direct pass to Chang Huan.
The technique was sound, fluid, and the combination of player and ball was perfect.
The only flaw is that the second step of accelerating involves the ball being too far from the body, but...
That's exactly right!
Kante, who was on defense, was easily faked out and completely bypassed by Chang Huan's elegant and highly entertaining Marseille turn.
"It's truly unbelievable that this young player is only 17 years, 10 months, and 31 days old!"
BBC Sports commentator Gary Lineker passionately exclaimed: "It's unbelievable that such an outstanding player comes from China, a football desert. I have to say, Liverpool's youth academy has something special. In my memory, there are only mediocre players like Manchester City's Sun Jihai, Everton's Li Yinzhuo, players with physical talents comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester United's Dong Fangzhuo from Wayne..."
Commentator Carragher could barely contain his smile: "Our Liverpool youth academy is indeed excellent, with individualized instruction, but the management needs improvement. Roma only spent 100 million euros to acquire a young player with such great potential as Chang Huan."
The game has restarted.
Chelsea have a history of playing from behind, but kicking off again from the center circle just one minute later was incredibly frustrating.
In the past, or if the ball was conceded late in the game, the team would patiently organize an attack.
The fact that Chelsea had to kick off twice within a minute made the Chelsea players a little anxious.
Kante, who bears absolute responsibility for the conceded goal, pushed forward quite aggressively, almost matching Fabregas in position.
With more players participating in the attack, the attack becomes more three-dimensional.
but……
The defensive vulnerabilities have also increased.
With his exceptional dribbling skills, Hazard has taken on the heavy responsibility of Chelsea's attack.
Chelsea fans also hope he can perform like Roma player Chang Huan.
However, Roma's coaching staff devised a targeted strategy before the match, abandoning unnecessary pressing in midfield and focusing their efforts on Hazard's side.
Whenever Hazard gets the ball, Florenzi, who is marking him, will receive support from Chang Huan, and with the help of midfielders, they will quickly form a three-man encirclement.
Hold the flanks and center, and let the outside line open.
Hazard struggled to break out of the encirclement and couldn't even establish a direct link-up with Morata.
Marcos Alonso on the left wing responded actively to the attack, widening the attacking width.
By drawing attention away from Hazard, crosses were delivered from the wing.
Morata struggled to win the ball in the penalty area against Fazio or Juan Jesus, unable to get to the ball at all.
The away team's coach, Conte, frowned as he directed the technical area, seemingly worried about the defense.
Kante's active participation in the attack has already made the defensive line vulnerable during the transition from offense to defense. If Marcos Alonso pushes too far forward, the gaps behind him will be exploited.
I simply can't imagine it.
Conte's worst fears came true in the 7th minute.
De Rossi, responsible for sweeping up the midfield, seized the opportunity to intercept the ball as Hazard cut inside and pushed it out.
Marcos Alonso, on the wing, realized something.
How can a person's movement speed compare to that of a football?
De Rossi didn't need to observe anything; he simply passed the ball to the huge vacuum behind Marcos Alonso.
Chang Huan made a diagonal run, stopping and dribbling the ball in quick succession.
Facing Gary Cahill's help defense, he touched the ball with his left foot, hesitantly taking a step to the outside.
In reality, he used the same trick again, stepping out with his left foot to step on the football and pulling it back.
The right foot, alternating between footwork and footwork, smoothly completes a lightning-fast turn.
Marseille Turn!
The home fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome unleashed their passion, cheering for Chang Huan's brilliant performance.
David Louis made a good positioning move, not giving Chang Huan any further chance to perform, and directly swept the man to the ground from the side.
Chang Huan, who had cleared the ball in advance, crouched down, clutching his left ankle with both hands, following the coaching staff's pre-match strategy of rolling on the ground in pain whenever he was fouled.
This behavior doesn't qualify as a dive, but it... increases the likelihood of the referee issuing a card.
as predicted!
Swedish referee Eriksson blew his whistle and ran to the scene of the incident.
He showed David Luiz the first yellow card of the match.
"David Luiz's yellow card was fatal just eight minutes into the game."
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray frowned.
Conte, standing in the away team's coaching area, was very dissatisfied with Eriksson's ruling.
In his opinion, regardless of whether David Luiz committed a foul, giving him a yellow card less than ten minutes into the game was outrageous.
The exaggerated physical movements attracted the attention of the referee.
One yellow card.
"Antonio Conte should be calmer. His anxiety, complaints, and dissatisfaction send a very bad signal to the players on the field."
Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler said in a somber tone: "Being down by one goal isn't the end, but if Roma capitalizes on their chances and scores again, it'll be all over..."
Trailing, they took a short free kick near the midfield line.
The team patiently passed the ball around, and Roma's lack of creativity in midfield was compensated for by Chang Huan's active running.
His one-touch passing, dribbling breakthroughs, and threatening passes often ignite a frenzied atmosphere at the stadium.
Another crucial pass was wasted.
The live broadcast director gave it a close-up shot.
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed with excitement: "Chang Huan's performance today was truly masterful; every touch of the ball posed a threat to Chelsea's defense."
Commentator Xu Yang laughed, "He's too freakish! He's simply the best in his age group!"
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte had no choice but to use dead ball situations to send new tactical signals to his players.
Be careful to mark Chang Huan closely and don't give him comfortable space to get the ball.
The tactical adjustments are fine, but Chang Huan has high basketball IQ and won't go head-to-head with you.
When it's time to avoid their sharpness, pass the ball out with one foot; when there's an opportunity to make a move, decisively dribble and advance.
Sky Sports Italia commentator Fabio Carreza remarked: "Chang Huan plays very intelligently. When he is closely marked, he acts more like a number 10, threading the ball and making threatening passes. Once he has the ball, he immediately switches into a winger, making him unpredictable for Chelsea."
Commentator Giuseppe Bergomi said, "To be honest, Chang Huan's performance from the start of this match to now can only be described as masterful! Flawless."
Roma completely controlled the game, giving Conte a major headache.
Whether it's the percentage of possession or the number of times the goal is threatened.
"Isn't this little guy a bit too fierce?"
