……
The first week of the league in November has ended.
First-tier leagues around the world have entered a two-week break.
The last two international match days of 2017 are just around the corner!
The most anticipated focus is on the last five direct qualification spots for the Russian World Cup!
The European region will occupy four spots, with the intercontinental play-off determining the sole remaining spot.
Switzerland vs. Northern Ireland, Italy vs. Sweden, Croatia vs. Greece, Denmark vs. Ireland
Peru vs New Zealand
The question of who will secure the five spots in the Russian World Cup has attracted the attention of football fans worldwide.
The Chinese men's national football team has two international friendly matches in November.
They are Serbia and Colombia, respectively.
Chang Huan was still not selected.
However, the Football Association's reasons for the upcoming leadership change are very convincing and sufficient, leaving the media and fans with no points to refute.
The 12th East Asian Cup will be held in Tokyo from December 8th to 16th this year. During this period, Chang Huan will play for Roma in the league and the Italian Cup.
Clubs definitely won't release players outside of international match days.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Chang Huan was not called up for the international match days in November, which was prepared in advance.
Chang Huan, who has garnered much attention from Chinese fans, is not surprising.
He received a call from head coach Lippi a week earlier.
The two discussed the current situation and the problems they faced, and expressed their hope to remain patient.
The first day of international matches is approaching.
Italian media and fans became nervous.
With the retirement of superstar players like Pirlo, the talent gap in Italian football cannot even be described as a lack of promising young talents.
To be precise, there's been a bit of a gap in development.
The forward-thinking newspaper Tuttosport has reported on the declining range of talent selection year by year!
The number of registered youth training players has plummeted from 200 million during Germany's World Cup victory to just over 70 this year.
The Gazzetta dello Sport once published an in-depth analysis report.
The report points out that the playing time of Italian U21 players is among the lowest in the top five European leagues, which will seriously affect the selection of players for the national team.
The Italian national team players, who are aiming for the finals of the Russian World Cup, also validate these views.
All the top-tier players are over 30.
小将布冯39岁、巴尔扎利37岁、德罗西34岁、基耶利尼33岁、博努奇30岁。
The middle-generation players born in the 90s, such as Florenzi, Spinazzola, Darmian, Jorginho, Verratti, Belotti, Immobile, and El Shaarawy, lack sufficient star power and are unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities.
Only Lorenzo Pellegrini, a member of the new generation born in the 95s, was selected.
With no national team matches to play, Roma players had three days off. Chang Huan figured he might as well go to the Trigoria training ground for extra training since he had nothing else to do.
The internal cutting technique is no longer a problem, but it's difficult to improve to the next level through daily training.
He now needs to improve his proficiency and adaptability through on-the-spot application in matches.

Chang Huan's extra training mainly focuses on upper limb strength, core strength, and lower limb strength.
To put it simply, it's about enhancing physical strength and shooting power.
While elusive movement and abundant stamina can effectively evade defenders, the football field is only so big, and physical confrontations are inevitable when facing teams that park the bus.
Chang Huan spent her first day of vacation accompanied by another elite personal trainer, Leon Piper.
Upper body strength training in the morning.
Examples include light weight bench press, explosive grip push-ups, and single-pen dumbbell rows.
In the afternoon, I will train my core strength and lower body strength.
Standard plank, side bridge, barbell back squat, weighted lunge, box jump, etc.
Training for a single attribute related to strength only takes half an hour a day to achieve the target, and the whole process is very easy for Chang Huan.
The visible progress he made fueled his interest in training.
After having a nutritious meal prepared by my life assistant and nutritionist Dino Matteo, I had a half-hour video chat with my parents on WeChat from my rented apartment.
I played two rounds of Honor of Kings and was just about to put down my phone to wash up when my phone dinged, and the notification bar showed that I had received a WhatsApp message.
[Julia Monsa: I have three days off, and I'd like to go to Rome for two days starting tomorrow. Do you have time? (*╹▽╹*)」]
Chang Huan deleted the "when I have time" text that she had subconsciously typed.
Re-entered: I've booked a personal trainer for the past few days; there are training sessions scheduled for both the morning and afternoon ￣□￣｜｜
【what? 】
Can I take a day off?
After replying to two messages, Chang Huan was hesitating about whether to take a day off when Julia Monsa's second message was manually deleted by her.
About five seconds later, a new message came in.
It's okay, training is more important. Evening is fine too; everyone says the Rome night view is quite nice (*￣︶￣)
Chang Huan smiled and frantically typed on the Italian 31-key keyboard: "Then... I'll contact you after training tomorrow afternoon?"
【Ti aspetto (I'm waiting for you)】
Chang Huan tapped an "expectant" emoji, put down her phone, and prepared to wash up.
He'd only gone halfway through his action when he thought for a moment and realized it was a bit too perfunctory, so he added: "I'm really looking forward to our first date alone (〃'▽'〃)"
An apartment in Milan.
Julia Monsa gazed at the alluring reply on her phone screen, her slender, soft right hand involuntarily caressing her fair, long neck. Her slightly pursed lips pouted, and an irrepressible smile played at the corners of her upturned mouth.
Reply: Me too (*❦ω❦).
……
"Hey Chang, what are you laughing at?"
"Focus on your training!"
"Since training makes you happy, come on, let's do two more sets!"
Personal trainer Leon Piper clapped his hands vigorously, his tone full of fervor.
The smile on Chang Huan's face was instantly replaced by bitterness.
After finishing the afternoon's core training, Chang Huan waved to Leon Piper with a smile: "Mr. Leon, see you tomorrow."
"goodbye."
Leon Piper watched Chang Huan's retreating figure and couldn't help but wonder: Can training really make people happy?
But then I thought about it again. Chang Huan used to play on her phone after training, but today she turned around and left as soon as training ended.
Something is wrong!
Based on years of experience, it's definitely because they're rushing to a date.
So he added loudly, "Hey Chang, boys need to protect themselves when they're out. Remember to wear a T-shirt."
Chang Huan nearly slipped as she turned the corner: "..."
……
It was a little after 5 p.m.
Chang Huan arrived at Petinari Street in the Regra district in Dino Matteo's car.
He put on a black mask and walked toward the agreed-upon Sistine Bridge on the east side of the Tiber River.
We were just in time to witness the sunset painting the Tiber River.
The backlit atmosphere attracted countless locals and tourists to take photos.
Chang Huan spotted the tall Julia Monsa in the crowd at a glance.
Her light blonde long hair was tied in a low ponytail, and she wore an oatmeal-colored crew neck wool sweater paired with a caramel-colored motorcycle leather jacket. Distressed blue straight-leg jeans accentuated her slender figure.
A long, loose, slightly wavy ponytail is lifted by the evening breeze along the Tiber River; at this moment, it seems to blend the unique casual laziness of Sicily into the retro gentleness of autumn in Rome...
They seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other.
Julia Monsa looked up and spotted Chang Huan wearing a black mask in the crowd.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I've only been here a short time."
