Chapter 37 is full of twists and turns, a last-second kill!
El Shaarawy, who was about to come on as a substitute, looked at Di Francesco: "Are you going to come on now?"
"Uh... let's wait a bit longer."
Di Francesco figured Perotti was in good form and had no problem with his stamina, so there was no reason to substitute him.
After all, El Shaarawy needs to readjust to the rhythm of the game after coming on as a substitute.
It was this moment of hesitation that led to Roma conceding another goal!
Chang Huan was double-teamed after receiving a call for help on the right wing, and the passing routes of Nainggolan and Strootman were blocked.
Faced with an aggressive and tough defense, he decisively flicked the ball back, quickly swung his left foot, and made a long pass to Kolarov on the far side.
Kolarov received the ball and took two steps.
Seeing that Perotti, who was in better form, wanted the ball, he quickly passed it to him.
He continued to advance along the left flank, widening the attack while preparing to receive support.
Perotti, seemingly determined to stand tall like a man, faced D'Ambrosio without any preamble, directly flicking the ball inward with the outside of his right foot.
But D'Ambrosio's judgment was correct; he turned sideways, stretched out his leg, and poked the ball away with his toe.
João Mário reacted extremely quickly, poking the ball away before Nainggolan could foul him.
The referee, Iratti, seeing that the ball was under Valero's control, gestured with both hands to indicate that the game should continue.
De Rossi pressed forward decisively, mentally prepared to commit a foul.
Valero didn't hold onto the ball; instead, he sent a long diagonal pass to the right from the center of the backfield.
Attack from behind Kolarov!
Candreva sprinted along the right flank and cut inside after receiving a perfectly timed pass from Valero.
Facing Fazio, who was covering the inside and leaving the ball out on the outside, he decisively passed the ball out.
Bring him to the right edge of the penalty area and then decisively cross the ball.
Icardi received the ball at the center line of the penalty area, feinted a shot, then cut inside and caught up with the ball with a few quick steps before firing a low shot into the far corner from the left side of the penalty area.
0.5 seconds later.
"Mauro Icardi's low left-footed shot beats Alisson Becker in goal!"
"A brace! Inter Milan equalize 2-2 away from home!" exclaimed Fabio Carreza, commentator for Sky Sports Italy.
This time, after equalizing the score, Icardi didn't run towards the goal. Instead, he ran to the baseline, facing the south stand where the boos had been coming for so long, and made a celebratory gesture by putting his palms to his ears and smiling as he listened to the fans' shouts.
He was met with a deafening chorus of boos.
In the coaching area, Di Francesco was filled with regret, turning to El Shaarawy, who had returned to the bench: "Ayr, replace Diego (Perotti)!"
Inter Milan, having scored two goals in quick succession, decided to play defensively and focus on counter-attacks.
Roma, the home team, had no choice but to intensify their attack if they didn't want to accept losing a point at home to Inter Milan.
However, Di Francesco is not stupid. He knows that Inter Milan has the ability to take three points, so he brought on El Shaarawy to bring new tactical ideas to the players on the field.
First stabilize the situation, then seize the opportunity to overtake the score.
Roma's midfield trio is very clear about the job responsibilities.
The situation was brought under control, and the actual threat of the attack significantly decreased.
El Shaarawy, who came on as a substitute, needs time to adapt to the intense pace of the game.
Chang Huan, who provided two assists, didn't have many good solutions against Inter Milan's low-post defense.
There is very little he can do.
Dzeko is the kind of finisher who needs strong support from his teammates to score goals.
Time ticked by, and soon eighty minutes had passed.
Rome made another adjustment.
Florenzi, returning from injury, replaced Juan Jesus.
This adjustment did not have an immediate effect, and Inter Milan, with their solid defense, almost intercepted the ball and launched an efficient counter-attack.
De Rossi, who was playing deep in midfield, paid the price with a yellow card.
Inter Milan used their last substitution.
Cancelo, on loan from Valencia this summer, replaced Candreva, adding defensive depth on the right flank and limiting the energetic El Shaarawy.
Di Francisco's mind raced as he considered whether or not to play his last card.
Who should be replaced?
Zheko cannot move.
Chang Huan is another source of offensive threat, and it seems he still has the stamina to keep going.
As for the midfield trio...
His gaze quickly settled on De Rossi, who had just received a yellow card.
Lorenzo Pellegrini came on in the 86th minute.
Unexpectedly, he made a mistake on his very first touch of the ball!
Nearly exhausted, Chang Huan chased back at full speed, and with a sliding tackle, he and Florenzi shoved the ball out of bounds from Perisic's feet.
He lay on the ground and immediately felt a strong, pulsating contraction in the calf muscle of his left foot from the tackle.
I got a cramp!
Florenzi rushed over and forcefully pried open the ball of his foot.
The team doctor entered the field with the referee's permission.
Chang Huan felt better after the pressure on the balls of her feet lasted for more than ten seconds.
Di Francisco regretted it.
Now that all three cards have been played, there are no more substitutions available.
This means Chang Huan has to keep going, otherwise they'll be down to one player.
Chang Huan, who appeared on the broadcast screen, had his hands on his knees, gritted his teeth, and his youthful and handsome face revealed a resolute look.
"Chang, give me... a nutritional bar."
Chang Huan reached out and took it, her mind immediately recalling that she could exchange points for stamina potions.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat the nutritional bars, he narrowed his eyes and summoned a system subtitle that was only visible to himself.
Switch to the points mall.
Exchange 100 points for a stamina potion.
[Can stamina potions with no side effects be used on Matchday brand nutritional bars?]
Chang Huan silently said "yes" in his heart.
After consuming all the nutrition bars, my depleted energy was significantly restored.
After receiving permission from the referee to enter the field, the fourth official held up an electronic sign indicating four minutes of stoppage time.
At this point in the match, Inter Milan, the away team, has really lost hope of securing a last-minute victory.
Rome had a series of attacking opportunities.
Considering Inter Milan's threatening counter-attacks, the midfield and defense still held back somewhat.
It was this decision that saved Rome from a last-minute defeat.
Inter Milan's two counter-attacks were cut off.
The injury time ended in one minute.
It took two minutes to walk through.
The clock has entered the third minute of stoppage time.
Having recovered half of his energy, Chang Huan keenly noticed that Inter Milan's players were focused on defense and had not exposed any obvious gaps, so he continued to wait for the best opportunity.
He continued his leisurely pace, moving between the right flank, right side, and center, linking up play with one-touch passes.
Another attack was organized, and Strootman sent a through pass to the right front.
Florenzi made several stops and starts along the right flank.
Perisic closely guards the defense.
Florenzi feinted a few times but failed to create a passing angle, so he cut the ball back.
Seeing Chang Huan run to the right edge of the penalty area and reach out for the ball, he decisively passed the ball to him.
The ball was passed to Chang Huan, who was there to receive it. Dalbert thought it was another pass.
He slowly turned around and pushed forward.
Unexpectedly, Chang Huan suddenly changed his strategy, lowered his left shoulder, and used the outside of his left foot to forcefully flick the ball to the left along the penalty area line.
João Mário saw the ball roll past him and instinctively kicked it, but pulled it back halfway through.
A foul in a key position could give Roma a free kick in a very good position.
Not advisable!
Dzeko understood immediately and ran towards the far end of the penalty area to wait for an opportunity.
Inter Milan's defenders have already witnessed Chang Huan's exceptional passing ability.
How could Miranda and D'Ambrosio possibly overlook marking Dzeko?
Left center-back Skriniar decisively pushed forward, coordinating with another defensive midfielder, Vecino, to double-team Chang Huan.
At a crucial moment, Nainggolan surged forward from Vecino's blind spot, running towards Dzeko and creating space at the far end.
That is, the lateral distance between Miranda and Skriniar.
When Vecino saw Chang Huan swing his left foot, his heart skipped a beat. He decisively changed his defensive target, reached out and pulled Nainggolan, taking advantage of the opponent's momentary sluggishness to catch up.
I never expected this.
Chang Huan didn't pass the ball!
He took advantage of Nainggolan's forward run to draw away the defender, and then flicked the ball to the left front with the outside of his left foot.
At that moment, it was as if I heard a voice shouting in my ear: Shoot!
Therefore, he adjusted his footwork from the right side of the penalty area arc to the left!
Skriniar, who was pressing forward, was deflected by Chang Huan's move, but he did not give up.
Take two big steps in rhythm with Chang Huan!
Extending his long right leg... to block!
With his left leg swinging with all his might, Chang Huan, who had a wide field of vision, naturally noticed Skriniar's movements.
but……
Open the bow without turning back the arrow!
Hit the ball according to the technique taught by personal coach Isakson Hurst.
The football, rising from the ground with a strong inward spin, struck Skriniar's exposed lower thigh muscle as he exerted force!
An unexpected refraction occurred!
The football, which was originally flying rapidly toward the top left corner of the goal, suddenly slowed down and deflected toward the near corner of the goal.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of shot would not be able to threaten Handanovic, who has an excellent goal-line reaction.
However, Handanovic reacted too quickly, moving to the right as the ball left the ground!
By the time you see the ball bend in the opposite direction, it's too late...
Half a second later.
"goooooooooooal"
Fabio Carreza's almost frantic, drawn-out voice was heard by Sky Sports Italy.
Several commentators in the live commentary booth did the same.
The Roma fans in the stands jumped up, waving their arms wildly and shouting hysterically, expressing their ecstasy at the winning goal.
"Absolute—Final Strike!!"
CCTV-5 commentator Shao Shengyi exclaimed excitedly: "Chang Huan scored a lucky, game-winning goal in the 3rd minute and 15th second of stoppage time!"
Chang Huan, who scored the goal, froze for a second, and it was in that moment of hesitation that he was tackled to the ground by Strootman behind him.
