In addition to Chairman Moratti's frankness, Mourinho also promised Lu Wenbin a core position in the team after the transfer.
Although he is a newcomer to the team, as long as Lu Wenbin transfers to Inter Milan, Mourinho will create a new counterattack tactic with Lu Wenbin as the offensive core.
Although Mourinho's defensive counterattacks often won championships in the past and won the support of his own fans and some neutral fans who judge heroes by results, he was criticized by the media.
Mourinho's defensive counterattack has been called an ugly bus tactic and a step backward in modern football.
Like in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals last season, Mourinho relied on parking the bus to maintain a 3-2 aggregate score at Camp Nou, eliminating Barcelona and advancing to the final, which was criticized.
Moreover, he does not accept criticism and his relationship with the media has always been tense, both in the Premier League and Serie A.
But actually he had no other choice.
Between winning and looking good, Mourinho, who is utilitarian by nature, will definitely choose winning and will not be as obsessed with beautiful football as Wenger.
But if there is a chance to win and win beautifully, why not do it
Although the main framework is defensive counterattack, if a striker like Lu Wenbin who is good at dribbling, speed and running joins, and with the cooperation of Sneijder, Stankovic, Eto'o and others, Inter Milan's defensive counterattack can also be beautiful, efficient and deadly.
Therefore, Mourinho clearly assured Lu Wenbin of the core issues after he joined the team.
Moratti and Mourinho spent a day at the resort, expressed their sincerity, and then returned to Italy.
Inter Milan's pre-season training for the 2010/2011 new season has begun. Mourinho will train the team and prepare for the new season, and Moratti also has a lot to do.
As for Lu Wenbin, Morati's conditions and sincerity have been put forward, it just depends on whether Lu Wenbin can accept them.
The itinerary of Moratti and Mourinho could not be kept secret and was leaked by the media the day after the meeting.
However, Lu Wenbin still hasn't made up his mind whether to go to Inter Milan or Real Madrid.
Inter Milan is very sincere, while Real Madrid has a big reputation, which is very beneficial to career development.
Just when Lu Wenbin was hesitating, his father Lu Chongxin called him.
"Wenbin, I saw on the news that Morati came to see you yesterday?" Lu Chongxin asked on the phone.
Lu Wenbin said: "Yes, do you have any suggestions?"
Lu Chongxin paused for a moment on the phone and then said, "You know, I'm an old fan of Inter Milan. In last season's Champions League final, Inter Milan lost to Hoffenheim and once again lost the chance to touch the Champions League trophy. What do you think... can you consider transferring to Inter Milan and help Inter Milan win a Champions League and fulfill the Champions League dream of Moratti and us old fans? As long as you help Inter Milan win a Champions League title, I will not interfere with your transfer in the future."
Lu Wenbin thought about it and said affirmatively, "Dad, don't say that. I am also a little fan of Inter Milan. I started to like football when you took me to watch Serie A and Inter Milan games. Then I will transfer to Inter Milan this year and try to help Inter Milan win a Champions League title!"
Lu Chongxin immediately said happily: "Thank you, son!"
After hanging up the phone with his father, Lu Wenbin immediately called Mendes and told him about his decision to transfer to Inter Milan.
In fact, Mendes hopes that Lu Wenbin will transfer to Real Madrid. After all, Real Madrid has a bigger reputation and more successful commercial development.
However, this matter is still mainly centered on Lu Wenbin, and Mendes dare not interfere too much.
Now Lu Wenbin is his cash cow, and he will not go against Lu Wenbin.
Therefore, Mendes immediately agreed and began to contact Inter Milan's general manager Ernesto Paolillo to discuss the specific transfer and signing matters.
After several days of discussion, Inter Milan, Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin completed the negotiations on Lu Wenbin's transfer.
On August 5, 2010, Inter Milan held a press conference to announce that Lu Wenbin, the European Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot and Triple Crown winner, had officially transferred from Bundesliga Hoffenheim to Serie A Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 100 million euros.
In fact, the 100 million euros is Lu Wenbin’s penalty for breach of contract at Hoffenheim.
The transfer fee of 100 million euros exceeds the 94 million euros that Cristiano Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid last year, officially making him the most expensive player in world football and the first player in football to have a transfer fee of over 100 million euros.
At the same time, although Inter Milan did not announce it, Lu Wenbin’s annual salary was also dug out and exposed by the media.
The annual salary of 16 million euros far exceeds Cristiano Ronaldo's 12 million, making it the highest paid in world football.
As soon as the news broke, it caused a sensation around the world, and even the reports about Spain winning the World Cup gave way to Lu Wenbin.
Of course, it is also because the popularity of the World Cup has decreased a lot with the passage of time.
But no matter how you look at it, the first transfer in football worth over 100 million yuan, the world's highest annual salary in football, etc., make Lu Wenbin full of news points.
Sports media around the world, whether television, newspapers, the Internet, or radio, have reported on the event extensively, and almost all of them were front-page headlines.
"Lu Wenbin transferred to Inter Milan for 100 million euros and became the most valuable player in football!"
"The first transfer fee in world football to exceed 100 million yuan comes from Lu Wenbin!"
"European football has officially entered the billion-dollar transfer fee era!"
"Lu Wenbin transferred to Inter Milan for 100 million euros and became the real 100 million euro man!"
"Lu Wenbin's annual salary is 16 million euros, far exceeding the former Ballon d'Or winners Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka. Will Moratti's investment pay off?"
"The head of the Moratti family said this is the last time the family consortium will provide funding to help Moratti acquire a superstar!"
"Moratti's final gamble, can the highest transfer fee and highest annual salary in football bring Inter Milan a Champions League?"
Ordinary fans can only admire and marvel at the transfer fee, but the fans of Inter Milan and Hoffenheim are like heaven and hell.
Although it had been anticipated that Lu Wenbin would leave the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim fans were still very sad when the day really came.
Countless people flocked to Hoffenheim's official website to express their anger towards the club and question why the club did not keep Lu Wenbin.
Some radical fans even went to the entrance of the club and outside Lu Wenbin's residence in Rhine-Neckar County to burn Lu Wenbin's jersey to vent their anger.
Less than an hour after the news broke, Hoffenheim's official website was overwhelmed by the influx of Hoffenheim fans and the server crashed.
But no matter what they do, the transfer is irreversible.
Lu Wenbin published a thank-you letter through the media, thanking Dietmar Hopp for his recognition, thanking Ralph for his high regard for him, and thanking Hoffenheim fans for their support over the years.
Finally, he wished Hoffenheim to develop healthily in the future and become a real strong force in the Bundesliga. (Seeking monthly votes)
