Who made him play as a winger/attacking midfielder?

Chapter 77 Kant's Strictest 'Father'!

"Oh oh oh—"

The home fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome were in high spirits, erupting in wave after wave of huge cheers.

Chang Huan, as the best performing Roma player on the field, was greeted by a continuous, overwhelming chant of "Chang, Chang, Chang!"

Chelsea players focused their defensive attention on Chang Huan, leaving other Roma players with little opportunity to mark him.

Nainggolan, El Shaarawy, and Dzeko showed signs of improvement.

Without tight defense, these players are playing better and better.

The fervent home atmosphere also significantly boosted their fighting strength.

The offensive came like a tidal wave.

23 minutes.

Nainggolan made a run behind and received a through pass from Chang Huan, stopping and then passing.

He shook off Fabregas and unleashed a powerful shot from just outside the penalty area!

Courtois, also a Belgian international, displayed the reaction of a top-3 goalkeeper in football, keeping this powerful and tricky long-range shot out of the net!

Chang Huan took the attacking corner kick on the right flank.

Courtois, who conceded a goal in the first leg, was very cautious and stayed in the middle of the goal line.

The 1.99-meter-tall goalkeeper's decision not to stand near the penalty area line indirectly increases the pressure on the defensive players.

Dzeko leaped high at the penalty spot.

Just as he was about to unleash his power, the experienced David Luiz intentionally jumped to seek physical contact.

This resulted in a failure to calibrate the ball; even though they managed to get the ball to the target area, they couldn't head it within the goal area.

Three minutes later.

De Rossi noticed that Chang Huan was closely marked on the right flank, and he delivered a precise long pass to Kolarov, who had been waiting on the left wing for a long time.

This Serbian international capitalized on El Shaarawy's run and delivered a direct cross!

Dzeko drew attention in the center of the penalty area, and Strootman, who had moved forward to the far side of the box, was positioned at the cross point.

"Oh my god!"

"We made it!"

Chelsea's away team was terrified by the sight of the ball flying out of the goal.

Conte paced back and forth in the technical area.

The brain is working at high speed.

Hopefully, a solution can be found.

Chelsea's players, who had been defending continuously, knew they needed to react, otherwise Roma would seize the opportunity to score again.

But how can we threaten Alisson guarding the goal?

they do not know.

The detailed offensive tactics devised before the game not only posed no threat in actual operation, but also created significant risks on the defensive end.

The continued defensive approach resulted in insufficient personnel to transition from defense to offense.

It was very difficult to break through Rome's defenses.

Hazard faces at least three defenders every time he receives the ball.

One tree cannot support a forest.

When Roma attacked, the ball was passed to Chang Huan.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is always filled with the deafening roar of the home fans.

Chang Huan did not disappoint the fans' love; his handling of the ball always created dangerous situations.

Kante, who has been performing exceptionally well in the Premier League and for the national team, now simply doesn't dare to make any defensive tackles.

He discovered that as long as he noticed Chang Huan's "mistake" touch, he would be beaten as soon as he tried to intercept the ball.

Once again, Chang Huan beat him, forcing him to commit a foul.

Referee Eriksson blew his whistle for a foul, ran to the scene of the incident, pointed to three different areas, and then took out a yellow card from his breast pocket.

This means that the card represents a cumulative foul rather than a single foul.

The live broadcast director gave a close-up shot of Kanté.

BBC Sports commentator Gary Lineker sighed, "N'Golo Kanté is confused right now, and even a little self-doubting. As the Premier League's top tackler, his ability is beyond question, but against Chang Huan, he can't even make a single regular tackle."

Compared to previous years, the stands at Rome's Olympic Stadium have seen a significant increase in the number of scouts from top teams.

They were assigned by their superiors to conduct a close-up investigation of Chang Huan.

To make precise positioning preparations for possible future transfers.

He carried a notebook with him and constantly recorded new technological features.

Time ticked by, and soon it was the 35th minute of the first half.

The scoreboard still showed a score of 1-0.

Chelsea's attack reached the right flank, with Kante passing the ball to Fabregas.

A long pass was sent to Marcos Alonso on the left wing.

The Italian international faked a pass, then cut inside and passed the ball to Hazard, who was calling for it in the flank.

Chang Huan, De Rossi, and Florenzi immediately rushed over to form a pincer movement.

Hazard, who hadn't been making any significant contributions, forced his way inside, creating a sliver of space, and unleashed a powerful shot before Strootman could provide cover.

The quality of long-range shots under high pressure was questionable, so they directly used anti-aircraft guns.

Alisson leisurely approached the caddie to ask for the ball.

Chang Huan, who had been operating on the right flank, ran to the left flank and switched positions with El Shaarawy.

The change was obvious, and Conte immediately shouted from the sidelines: "N'Golo, keep an eye on your man."

The meaning is clear: we need to pay attention to Chang Huan's activities.

He switched positions with Fabregas, moving from the left flank of midfield to the right flank.

Once he reached the approximate location, Alisson took a short goal kick.

Juan Jesus passed the ball to De Rossi, and Chang Huan intentionally returned the ball.

However, seeing Azpilicueta and Kanté approaching, he abandoned his plan to receive the ball.

Facing pressure from Pedro and Morata, De Rossi passed the ball to Chang Huan.

Kante and Azpilicueta were on high alert.

Right center-back Rudiger was also ready to cover.

"Finally caught you!"

Chang Huan, who received the ball, stopped it with the instep of his left foot a little too far from his body, and Kante kicked out without hesitation.

But who would have thought...

Chang Huan is fishing again!

His right foot moved with lightning speed, and the inside of his foot swept the ball back.

"Oops!"

Realizing he had been tricked again, Kante had no choice but to watch helplessly as Chang Huan effortlessly passed the ball with his left foot, sending it to the advancing Kolarov, despite his yellow card.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh—"

The Roma fans in the stands instinctively gasped in surprise.

"pretty!"

CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed, "That 'Fried Dumpling' beat Kanté, and his left-footed, controlled pass was so elegant!"

"This isn't just playing football, it's a work of art!"

Commentator Xu Yang blurted it out.

Meanwhile.

Just as Azpilicueta and Rüdiger came forward to cover, Chang Huan suddenly made a run after passing the ball.

The two had to brake suddenly and, following Chang Huan, quickly reversed down the left lane.

One is a horizontal blocker for low-profile ball trajectory, and the other is a vertical anti-aircraft defense.

Strootman ran toward the space left by Chang Huan, attracting the attention of Kant who had passed by.

Chelsea players retreated while fighting, allowing Kolarov to advance nearly twenty meters along the left flank.

He spotted Dzeko's forward run and delivered a long, medium-range pass with his left foot, heading towards the left side of the penalty area's arc.

The shot was incredibly precise, landing right between David Luiz and Rudiger.

Dzeko jumped and headed the ball on the right side of the penalty arc while running.

Marcos Alonso, the left wing-back, belatedly accelerated to meet the ball, and a red figure flashed out to his left.

El Shaarawy!

Without slowing down while running at high speed, the left foot supports the body, and the right foot follows up to complete a very smooth volley!

They've got the perfect cut!

Marcos Alonso's attempt to interfere came too late.

Boom~

A crisp, muffled sound arose spontaneously.

The ball, propelled by the force of the impact, flew towards the goal like a cannonball, swiftly passing over Rüdiger's chest as he returned to the goal, and heading towards the far end of the goal.

Courtois's vision was perfectly blocked, and by the time he saw the ball, it was too late to make a save.

The football grazed the inside of the left goalpost and swished into the net!

The home fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome jumped to their feet, cheering wildly.

They excitedly pumped their fists, venting their elation at widening the score.

They're not some nobody team that's leading.

Instead, it's last season's Premier League champions, Chelsea!

Di Francisco raised his clenched fists high, looking radiant.

The away team's coach, Conte, stood in the technical area with his head down, left hand in his pocket, right hand covering his mouth and nose, pondering how the game had turned out this way.

How did it turn out like this?

Kante, Fabregas, Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, David Luiz, and other Chelsea players looked bewildered, their eyes filled with dejection as they exchanged glances.

After the Roma players finished celebrating their goal, captain Daniele De Rossi calmed his teammates down: "Brothers, the first half isn't over yet. Don't let us down. Stay focused and don't give them any chances! Victory belongs to Roma!"

"Victory belongs to Rome!"

The third generation of Florenzi responded quickly, and other players were also affected.
