"goooooooooooooal"
"CD connection successful!"
"Chang Huan's high-quality set-piece assist puts Edin Dzeko ahead again!"
"Roma leads Chelsea 3-2 away from home!"
The commentators at Stamford Bridge were full of passion.
Dzeko, the goal scorer, landed and turned back, then ran wildly with his arms outstretched.
He called out to Chang Huan, who had delivered the perfect free kick, to celebrate the goal together.
The Roman expeditionary force was positioned in the corner of the left flank of the Roman corner flag.
They watched their excited players, each one releasing their energy.
He excitedly pumped his fist, expressing his ecstatic joy at taking the lead.
Rüdiger, who had lost track of his target, and Gary Cahill, who had been led astray, stood facing each other, hands outstretched in bewilderment.
Conte, the home team's coach in the technical area, picked up a bottle of water from beside him and smashed it on the ground to vent his frustration.
A muffled thud.
The water bottle suddenly exploded, splashing water all over the ground and wetting the trouser legs.
"Fuck, bad luck!"
Conte was muttering curses under his breath.
The live broadcast director switched to show the entire process of the goal.
Chang Huan's left-footed free kicks were of extremely high quality, like precision-guided shots.
After bypassing Azpilicueta, there was a loop, which allowed Dzeko to accurately target the forward position.
The two players ran in unison!
A powerful header smashed through Courtois's defense.
"Chang Huan's free-kick technique is truly exceptional!"
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed with excitement: "Roma's sporting director Monchi truly has an eye for talent! Head coach Di Francesco is also very bold to make 17-year-old Chang Huan a key player for the team!"
Chinese fans watching on television felt a sense of pride and had even greater expectations for Chang Huan's future.
He was recently shortlisted for the European Golden Boy award with 25 players. Could he become a candidate for the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year in the future?
Laureus World Sports Awards?
Fans active on social media platforms spoke freely, expressing their pride and joy for the nation.
After the Roma players finished celebrating their goal, the home fans in the stands still looked bewildered.
The broadcast footage showed Chelsea players looking very injured.
"Chelsea came much closer to scoring after equalizing, but Roma took the lead again!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed, "This...is football!"
Before the game restarts.
Trailing Chelsea were given the right to kick off.
Through patient and sustained communication, the offensive gradually gained momentum.
The Roman defense zone was on high alert, with danger lurking at every turn.
Di Francisco pulled assistant coach Tomé aside for an urgent discussion on the sidelines.
How can we reverse the current unfavorable situation?
Alisson was in superb form at crucial moments!
Gao made a crucial save to keep the goal intact.
Chelsea failed to score in several consecutive attacks, and Chang Huan's defensive transition into attack, which resulted in a foul, gave Roma a chance to breathe.
Dzeko, who scored the go-ahead goal, is getting better and better, and his role as a target man is obvious.
He always manages to control the ball and pass it to Chang Huan, who makes clever runs.
The two complemented each other perfectly, making them impossible for Chelsea's defenders to handle.
Even Kanté at his peak couldn't do it.
The only way to complete a defensive task is to commit a foul.
In his opinion, Chang Huan played football too cunningly.
Before receiving the ball, I will observe first and only dribble the ball when I see that the defender is far away.
They were too far apart to reach each other with their feet.
The idea that one could use physical advantages to bully children is completely unfounded.
Chang Huan should apply pressure before receiving the ball; he will pass it out with one kick, making any attempt to intercept a waste of energy.
Just when you let your guard down, they suddenly speed up and demand the ball.
Time and again, Kanté was exhausted.
The match has reached the 67th minute.
Chang Huan turned his head left and right to observe before the right side of the back, and noticed that Kant had slowed down significantly the moment he turned his head.
He changed his original plan to pass the ball directly to the side, instead lowering his right shoulder and using the inside of his left foot to flick the ball to the right rear.
Stop and turn simultaneously!
Kanté reacted quickly and had explosive power, taking two lightning-fast steps to the right.
Slide tackle while falling!
Chang Huan maintained excellent distance from the ball and, noticing Kante's defensive move, poked the ball away with his right toe.
With a powerful push from his right knee, he leaped up using the ball of his foot to dodge Kanté's right foot that came shoveling from his right side.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh—"
Amid a gasp from Stamford Bridge, Chang Huan, having caught up with the ball, lowered his left shoulder and quickly flicked the ball to his right with the inside of his left foot, easily dribbling past Fabregas, who was standing at the edge of the penalty area.
Gary Cahill helps on defense!
Chang Huan extended the outside of his left foot, completely covering the ball, slowing down his speed and adjusting his pace for the breakthrough.
Dzeko, with Rüdiger in tow, cut diagonally behind Gary Cahill.
Using his teammate's movement to create space, Chang Huan flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot and suddenly accelerated.
During the movement, he used a leg swing feint to trick Gary Cahill, who was tucking in, into raising his right foot to increase the blocking area.
Chang Huan used the outside of his left foot to push the ball inward more than a meter, and then his right foot followed the rhythm of the push, stepping to the left to land and support the ball.
The left foot, swinging slightly backward, lashed out like a whip.
The ball is touched by the inside of the foot.
The ball was struck in a slicing motion on the lower left side.
The football, detached from the grass, rose into the air almost touching Gary Cahill's studs, creating a powerful inward-spinning arc that traced a rainbow path over the Chelsea penalty area before flying towards the top left corner of the goal.
Courtois, adjusting his position to the right, leaped and dove sideways, his 1.99-meter frame stretching out gracefully in mid-air.
His long, distinctive arms stretched out, almost covering half of the goal, while his right fingertips vigorously brushed against the rapidly spinning football.
"Tibor Courtois!"
"They saved Chelsea!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed, "A save of Chang Huan's long-range shot from just outside the penalty area!"
Chang Huan, who hadn't scored, shook his head repeatedly, blurting out a vulgar curse: "Damn it, you didn't even score!"
The live broadcast director gave a close-up shot of her face.
Chinese fans watching the live stream immediately understood the lip movements and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What a pity!"
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei changed the subject: "But Chang Huan's shot after his breakthrough was really beautiful!"
At the 75th minute, Roma took the opportunity to make their first adjustment.
El Shaarawy replaced the physically exhausted Perotti to maintain counter-attacking speed.
Two minutes later.
Chelsea also requested a substitution.
Batshuayi↑ Morata↓
As time ticked away, the home team's offensive momentum remained strong.
With Hazard in top form, he is the home team's most relied-upon attacking threat, while Fabregas is responsible for Chelsea's playmaking.
How could Rome not know?
Strengthen the defense in the middle and flanks, lock down Fabregas, double-team Hazard, and force Chelsea's attack down the flanks.
Such attacks often require luck.
As the match entered the 80th minute, Chelsea players' stamina declined significantly, greatly affecting the quality of their attack.
The away team, Roma, made further adjustments during the dead ball situation.
De Rossi replaced Gonalons.
The complementary midfield trio gradually took control of the game.
The midfield partnership of Kante and Fabregas is finding it increasingly difficult, forcing Hazard and Pedro to focus their energy on the defensive end.
87 minutes.
Chang Huan met De Rossi's forward through pass on the right flank of the attacking third.
The dashing fried dough ball dribbled past Hazard, who lunged at him from the left.
Facing the double-team of Batshuayi and Kante, he remained calm and composed, flicking the ball with his left heel with a graceful and elegant touch, passing it to center-back Fazio, who had run to the right side of the center circle to provide support, despite having no vision.
Chang Huan attracted the attention of several Chelsea players while holding the ball, allowing Fazio to receive the ball and observe the situation.
As a center-back who plays the ball out, he observed the situation and delivered a precise long diagonal pass.
The football, piercing the sky, landed on the path of Dzeko's diagonal run into the left side of the penalty area.
The international player adjusted his footing while running, and swung his left foot to strike from the edge of the left side of the six-yard box!
The instep strikes the lower middle part of the football.
They've got the perfect cut!
Boom~
A crisp, muffled thud rang out, and Courtois, who was ready, narrowed his eyes. The powerful football was traveling faster than his instinctive save!
"Goal!"
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei exclaimed loudly: "Roma's two tallest players in this match have combined to score, with Dzeko beating Courtois in goal! Victory secured!"
(P.S.: The original match was tied 3-3, so it's reasonable for the main character to intervene and win 4-2 away, right?)
