Chapter 79 An Unpopular Story! The Blue Army Slaughtered on Halloween Night!
"Oh my god!"
"Diego Perotti's shot, after a series of dribbles and a cut inside, deflected off Chang Huan's midfield and into the goal!"
"Roma are lucky to have a 3-0 lead over Chelsea!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed, "Unbelievable match!"
More than 60,000 home fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome jumped to their feet, their passion instantly igniting a frenzied atmosphere at the stadium.
The striking red color surged and rippled through the stands, and the overwhelming roar was like a tsunami, almost shaking the stands slightly.
Chang Huan, who appeared in the center of the broadcast screen, opened his arms and ran towards the camera position on the side of the field.
He smiled at his teammates who were running towards him frantically, and shrugged and spread his hands.
Zheke grabbed Chang Huan's neck, almost frantically, and exclaimed, "You're incredibly lucky! Hahaha~"
Perotti, Nainggolan, Strootman, Florenzi, and other Roma players embraced Chang Huan one by one, sharing their ecstasy at scoring a goal.
They knew what this goal meant.
With more than 20 minutes left in regular time, Chelsea, whose morale had been dampened, had no chance of achieving the theoretical possibility of coming back from a 3-0 deficit to win 3-3 or 4-3!
Di Francisco, standing in the home team's technical area, turned around, head held high and chest puffed out.
Facing the excited fans in the stands, he waved his hands vigorously up and down.
The home fans responded enthusiastically, cheering and shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the player who scored our third goal is Chang—"
The highly inflammatory voice of the on-site announcer, Enzo Marino, resounded throughout the venue.
"--joyous!"
More than 60,000 Roma fans roared in unison.
The unified rhythm created a powerful and majestic sound wave, making it seem as if the entire city was trembling.
The Chelsea players, dressed in white jerseys and shorts, became nothing more than background figures.
They pursed their lips and shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.
As star player Hazard held his head in his hands, looking at Chang Huan surrounded by Roma players, he felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
Courtois clenched his right fist and slammed it into the ground in frustration as Chang Huan conceded goals in consecutive matches, venting his negative emotions.
In the first leg at Stamford Bridge, they conceded a corner kick, and in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they conceded a deflected goal.
Mushrooms are blue and sad.
"Perottine's shot with the instep deflected off Chang Huan and into the net. Regardless of whether the ball hit the target or not, it should be credited to Chang Huan."
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei watched the exciting replay shown on the broadcast screen.
After celebrating his goal, Di Francesco said to Tome, "That kid has really good luck in front of goal."
"Haha, that's true, he's scored quite a few inexplicable goals in training."
Tommy said with a smile.
After a brief celebration of their goal, the Roma players gradually headed back to their own half.
A cameraman pushing a portable camera on the sidelines aimed the lens at Chang Huan for showtime.
Screen switch.
The ball was given to the Chelsea player at the center circle kickoff point.
Fans watching the game live could easily tell something from their frustrated expressions.
Dejection, frustration, and helplessness.
This contrasts sharply with the relaxed and joyful expressions on the faces of the Roma players.
Many Chelsea fans simply turned off their TVs.
Chelsea, having won the kickoff, clearly lacked passion at the restart.
Being defeated 0-3 as a visiting team was a huge blow to them.
The series of passes eventually ended with Fabregas' long-range shot going wide of the goal.
Conte wanted to give it another shot, but seeing his players lose their fighting spirit, he had to consider hosting Manchester United at Stamford Bridge for the league match this weekend.
William↑Pedro↓
Batshuayi↑ Morata↓
Di Francisco was being cautious.
For now, we should remain inactive.
With a three-goal lead, the Roma players remained calm, and each player maintained a high level of focus.
They would call out to each other to make sure the defense line was in place.
Willian and Batshuayi, who came on as substitutes, worked hard, but unfortunately the other starters were too unresponsive.
The efforts of a few players cannot change the overall course of the battle.
With the match reaching the 75-minute mark, a point of physical exertion, Di Francisco had to consider the weekend's away league match against Florence.
Kolarov clears the ball from the left wing, and it flies out of bounds.
Referee Eriksson blew his whistle to signal a substitution.
Schick ↑ Dzeko ↓
The atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome remained fervent, with thunderous applause for Dzeko.
Although Pogba has gone four games without scoring, his importance is clear to any knowledgeable football fan.
Roma's recent multi-pronged attacking play is largely due to Dzeko's self-sacrifice.
The back-and-forth between the two sides was exciting, but in reality, they seemed to have reached some kind of unspoken understanding.
All talk and no action.
In the 89th minute, the home team made their final substitution.
Lorenzo Pellegrini replaces Chang Huan.
"Clap clap clap clap—"
The thunderous applause was deafening.
The home fans used this method to thank Chang Huan for his contributions throughout the game.
The team contributed one assist, one key playmaker, and one goal out of their three goals!
Chang Huan was a little frustrated after being substituted off the field.
The points awarded for being substituted out of the starting lineup differs from those for starting and playing the entire game...
The base score will be 50% higher.
If a player is substituted out of the starting lineup, they will score 30 points; if they play the full game, they will score an additional 15 points.
Despite being frustrated, the head coach's instructions still had to be followed.
The key point is that this substitution wasn't about the competition itself, but rather... allowing himself to accept the cheers of his own fans.
He smiled and raised his hands above his head, clapping to thank the fans for their full support.
"Well done!"
Lorenzo Pellegrini, who was in the technical area, gave Chang Huan a big hug.
The walk takes about 90 minutes in normal time.
The fourth official held up the electronic sign indicating two minutes of injury time.
Chang Huan walked toward the bench, giving high-fives to the coaching staff and teammates, and then wiping his sweat with a towel handed to him by the support staff.
The live broadcast focused on Chang Huan for an extended period, until he was sitting on the bench chatting and laughing with Dzeko, who had been substituted.
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
"Beep~~"
Just two minutes into stoppage time, referee Eriksson blew two short whistles and one long whistle.
The broadcast switched to Di Francisco on the sidelines, who walked toward the away team's coaching area with a somber expression, looking more like the one who had lost the game.
The two Italian coaches shook hands and exchanged cheek kisses.
Di Francisco wanted to offer a few words of comfort.
Conte didn't give them a chance and turned to leave.
The scene quickly switches to the Roma substitutes' bench, focusing on Chang Huan, who is standing up and high-fiving and hugging his teammates to celebrate the victory.
Fans who frequently watch live matches know what this shot means.
Player of the night!
In 89 minutes of regular time, he contributed 1 goal, 1 assist, 1 key play, several brilliant breakthroughs, and key passes.
Inside the stadium, reporters snapped photos of Chang Huan with their cameras.
The sounds of "click" and "click" kept ringing out.
Roma fans in the stands, led by the die-hard supporters in the south stand, sang "Roma Roma Roma".
"Roma thrashed Chelsea 3-0 at home."
"Chang Huan's outstanding contribution truly deserves the official Best Actor award!"
CCTV-5 commentator He Wei, with passion and a loud voice, announced: "Roma's four consecutive group stage wins have secured their qualification from Group C. Since Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Qarabag at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Roma have virtually secured first place in Group C! Let's congratulate Roma and Chang Huan!"
Post-match mixed zone.
Hazard, who had a poor performance in this match, was stopped by a reporter: "Was your performance greatly limited in this match the biggest reason for the away loss?"
Hazard pursed his lips in thought, then turned to look at the Roma players celebrating their victory, shrugged, and said, "That's part of the reason, but the most fundamental reason is that Chang Huan performed too well. I really hope that the club's management can complete the task assigned by the boss during this winter transfer window."
The implication is quite clear.
Buy Chang Huan!
