Chapter 51 I'll kick the ball that the striker can't score!
"often--"
"Mamma mia! (Oh my god!)"
Italian Sky Sports commentator Fabio Carreza exclaimed, "Che pazzia! (That's crazy!)"
The gasps of fear from AC Milan fans at the San Siro stadium echoed throughout the stadium.
Chang Huan, who was the center of attention, pressed her clasped hands against her half-open mouth, her eyes filled with regret.
It was just a tiny bit off!
The Roma player near the penalty area held his head in his hands, clearly disappointed.
Dzeko, who had made a run to create shooting space, clapped enthusiastically at Chang Huan: "That's how you play! Fantastic!"
With a deep sigh, Chang Huan high-fived his teammates who were giving him a nod, then jogged to the left corner flag to take the corner kick earned by Bonucci's clearance that went out of bounds.
The live broadcast director recreated the exciting process.
Chang Huan, who had moved to the right flank, caught De Rossi's pass in the blink of an eye.
He then dribbled past Ricardo Rodriguez, Çalhanoğlu, and Kessie in succession.
He unleashed a high-quality curling shot with his left foot from just inside the penalty area's arc.
The football, rising from the ground with a strong inward spin, bypassed Romagnoli's blockade and spun rapidly in the air like a crescent moon towards the top left corner of the goal.
Donnarumma stretched his body to its limit in mid-air but still couldn't touch the ball.
The close-up shot even showed the Milan fans behind the goal staring in disbelief, until a fraction of a second later, when the ball hit the post with a crisp sound, and they exclaimed in relief as if they had escaped death.
PP Sports commentator Shi Qingsheng exclaimed with excitement: "Chang Huan's first breakthrough and first shot of the match hit the intersection of the crossbar and the post! He's in great form!"
Liu Yue added enthusiastically, "We can definitely look forward to Chang Huan's performance in the future!"
Chang Huan took the attacking corner kick from the left flank.
Goalkeeper Donnarumma watched the ball flying fast and with a wide arc in mid-air but didn't dare to come out.
Roma had a significant advantage in height, and Dzeko headed the ball under Fazio's cover.
However, Bonucci applied enough pressure that his aim became unreliable, and the ball went wide of the right post.
Although the ball didn't hit the goal, it still gave the Milan fans in the stands a real scare.
AC Milan weathered Roma's first-round offensive onslaught, with Donnarumma passing the ball to Bonucci.
Dzeko, Chang Huan, El Shaarawy, and Nainggolan implemented the high-pressing defensive tactics they had devised before the match.
Limit Bonucci's passing and prevent Milan from establishing short passing penetrations in the midfield and defense.
Biglia and Çalhanoğlu attempted to receive the pass back, but their passing lanes were cut off.
Bonucci was forced to pass the ball to left center-back Romagnoli, who quickly passed it to left wing-back Ricardo Rodriguez.
Bruno Perez was very determined.
The home team's midfield support players were all limited by Roma players, so Ricardo Rodriguez could only pass the ball to the left flank in front.
André Silva, who had just started his run, was chased to the outside by Manolas. In order not to lose possession, he forced the ball into the penalty area just before it went out of bounds.
The ball didn't land well, and De Rossi, who was covering for it, took control of the ball.
Roma's attack and defense transitioned quickly; after Strootman's pass, the ball was delivered to Chang Huan in the middle.
Kessie, who was mainly responsible for defense in midfield, did not care whether Chang Huan completed the pass or not, and fully implemented the "show of force" tactic arranged by the head coach.
He charged straight at them, sweeping the ball and himself away together.
"Beep~"
Referee Rocchi blew his whistle.
Kessie turned his back to the referee with an innocent look on his face, and before the Roma players arrived, bent down and warned Chang Huan, who was lying on the ground: "Kid, if you dare to touch the ball again, I'll break your leg!"
I thought this trick would work easily, but Chang Huan didn't expect to take the unconventional approach.
He stood up, baring his teeth, and loudly complained to the approaching referee, Rocky: "Mr. Referee, this guy just said he'd break my leg the next time I receive the ball. Isn't that intimidation?"
"No, no, no!"
Casey's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively shook her right index finger repeatedly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I never said that."
Rocchi looked at Chang Huan, the player who had filed the complaint.
This... isn't this the Roma player born in 00 that his colleague Giacomelli criticized at the referee's debriefing meeting after the first round of the league?
The entire conference room burst into laughter.
His excellent professionalism allowed him to suppress a laugh as he sternly warned Casey, "Watch your defensive moves. If you do it again, I'll be pulling my pocket cards out!"
Casey: "..."
A nearby Milan player, seemingly wanting to say something: "..."
De Rossi immediately stood up for Chang Huan, ignoring the referee's presence, and pointed at Kessie's face, saying menacingly, "Unless you don't want to play in next year's World Cup!"
PP Sports commentator Shi Qingsheng frowned and said, "Casey's action was really reckless, kicking the ball and the player together. Hopefully, Chang Huan is not seriously injured."
"This indirectly proves that young player Chang Huan played a huge role in Roma's attack, which led to Kessie giving Roma a warning shot before they could launch their attack."
Commentator Liu Yue laughed as he watched Chang Huan run energetically towards the front of the field: "To become a star player, you first need a resilient body. If you stay healthy and continue to grow, you can absolutely surpass Son Heung-min and reach new heights for Asian players!"
Some fans agree with former national team player Liu Yue's opinion, but they don't want to jinx him.
After receiving a verbal warning, Casey behaved herself, fearing she would get a yellow card early.
De Rossi, who made the harsh remarks, was also warned.
Roma's attacks in the first ten minutes mainly came down the right flank.
Chang Huan, in coordination with his teammates, delivered two penetrating through balls while moving forward or cutting inside.
Donnarumma's performance was simply too phenomenal.
They kept both Dzeko and Nainggolan's shots at the net.
Ten minutes later.
The home team launched an attack amid cheers from their own fans.
The wing-backs widened the attack.
Andre Silva and Kalinic contest a header in the penalty area.
Unfortunately, the cross landed poorly, and Alisson's goalkeeping was a close call.
16 minutes.
Rome's attack was thwarted on the left flank.
El Shaarawy lacked confidence to break through, so he had to pass the ball back.
After a series of passes, the ball was passed by Strootman to Chang Huan on the right flank.
Kessie seemed intent on challenging Chang Huan, as he and left wing-back Ricardo Rodriguez simultaneously lunged at him.
The home fans booed loudly, interfering with Chang Huan's left-footed spikes as he stepped on the ball.
He was completely unaffected and calmly raised his head.
He raised his left foot as if to coordinate with Nainggolan, who was running in the middle, and cut towards the center. In reality, he used the inside of his left foot to stop the ball in place.
The feint was very realistic, and Casey was fooled by it and stretched out his leg to intercept.
Ricardo Rodriguez immediately stepped up.
Chang Huan noticed that Milan's other defensive players were well-positioned and not suitable for forcing their way inside.
So he turned and pulled the ball back with his left foot, passing it to Strootman behind him.
De Rossi, who had dropped back into midfield, moved between the two center-backs and made slight adjustments to the ball that Manolas had passed to him.
A long pass was delivered towards the edge of the penalty area!
at the same time.
Chang Huan, who was running at a steady pace off the ball to the right side of the attacking flank about 25 meters from the baseline, suddenly accelerated and ran behind Dzeko, who was vying for the ball's landing point.
Dzeko, who had made a forward run to the edge of the penalty area, raised his left arm to hold off Bonucci, but under pressure, he inadvertently stopped the ball in place with the outside of his right foot.
Left center-back Romagnoli and Kessie, who had retreated to defend, saw an opportunity to intercept the ball.
A pincer attack from both the front and the back!
Musacchio, the right center-back, initially wanted to join in, but after running a couple of steps, he stopped when he realized that El Shaarawy was still lurking in his blind spot.
Due to inertia, Dzeko reacted very quickly, raising his right foot and kicking it back sharply, his heel striking the football that had stopped in place.
Kessie instinctively stretched out his right foot to block, but didn't completely stop the ball. The ball changed its angle slightly and slowly swept across the penalty area line, rolling towards the inside of the penalty area.
Chang Huan sprinted across the penalty area line with his mouth full, and then flicked the ball out with his right toe.
The ball, close to the ground, accelerates and rolls towards the penalty spot.
Bonucci, realizing the mistake too late, extended his right foot halfway before pulling it back, clearly afraid that the ball would roll over and trip him, resulting in a penalty!
"often--"
Fabio Carreza, the commentator for Sky Sports Italy, raised his voice an octave.
Chang Huan, having caught up with the football, flicked it in the direction it was traveling with the outside of his left foot.
Musacchio's turning and leg-extending motion looked more like a slow-motion replay. To avoid conceding a penalty, he pulled his leg back, just like Bonucci, and ended up sliding on his knees in place.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh—"
Amidst the panicked shouts of the home fans in the stands, Chang Huan, having crossed the penalty spot, swung his left foot as if to shoot, tricking Donnarumma, who had rushed out and taken a step, into stopping in his tracks.
He flicked the ball again with the outside of his left foot, accelerating to complete the breakthrough.
"He's past Gianluigi Donnarumma!"
Amidst the despairing gazes of the Milan fans, Chang Huan swung his left foot from the left edge of the six-yard box, pushing the ball towards the unguarded empty net with the instep of his foot…
