After getting to know their new teammates and changing into training clothes, they gathered at the training ground together and got to know the coaching staff, team doctors, etc. Once the training match started, Lucio and Eto'o really started to compete with Lu Wenbin.
Eto'o couldn't compete with him directly, so he kept asking for the ball and shooting, hoping to surpass Lu Wenbin in the number of goals.
Lucio happened to be in a different team from Lu Wenbin, so he used fierce defense against Lu Wenbin without any scruples, trying to give him a warning.
As a result, after just 60 minutes of a training match, Eto'o and Lucio were convinced, and other coaches and teammates also opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen aliens.
Although it is still completely unfamiliar to cooperate with teammates, Lu Wenbin's full speed, physique, and off-ball running still make it easy for him to run into open space.
Inter Milan midfielder Sneijder, Stankovic and other teammates have better game reading and passing abilities than Hoffenheim.
Therefore, after discovering Lu Wenbin's intention, it was easy to pass the ball.
Although some balls were wasted due to unfamiliar coordination, some were still received by Lu Wenbin.
Then, those who can shoot can shoot directly, and those who cannot shoot can use their full dribbling, speed, and physique to pass one or two people before shooting.
If this is not enough, Lu Wenbin will use his full vision and 18/19 passing skills to suddenly pass the ball to teammates in a better position, allowing them to complete the shot.
Lu Wenbin's passing skills shined in this training match and looked more threatening than Sneijder's passing.
Lu Wenbin is always able to perceive the opponent's loopholes and teammates' running positions at the first moment, and pass the ball to his teammates' running routes just at the right time.
Lu Wenbin often uses his magnetic attraction to take away two or three defenders, and then suddenly passes the ball long to the middle or even the other side of the court, allowing teammates in other open spaces to attack.
Although many of Lu Wenbin's passes were wasted due to unfamiliarity with coordination and his teammates' poor shooting accuracy.
But this kind of vision and passing ability are enough to amaze coaches and teammates.
What's more, Lu Wenbin himself has a good ability to score goals.
In the 60-minute training match, Eto'o did not score a goal, but Lu Wenbin scored three goals in front of Lucio.
One of them was a shot, one was a header, and another was a shot after breaking through Lucio, and a long pass assisted Sneijder to score a goal.
Whether it is physique, speed, dribbling, heading, off-ball running, shooting accuracy, free kick technique and so on, Lu Wenbin has fully demonstrated his level in Hoffenheim.
This is why Moratti is willing to dig him with a 100 million euro penalty clause and the world's highest annual salary.
But now, in the first training session, Lu Wenbin showed his coaches and teammates more than just the above.
Lu Wenbin also has unparalleled vision and passing and assisting abilities, which no one expected.
Whether it was the coaches or the players, their eyes began to shine when they looked at Lu Wenbin, and they were full of hope and fighting spirit for this season's journey.
Some players lose their fighting spirit after winning the Champions League, like Ronaldinho.
But the problem is that Inter Milan did not win the Champions League last season.
Therefore, everyone's fighting spirit has not yet dissipated.
With the strong addition of Lu Wenbin, everyone can imagine that if they work harder this season, it is entirely possible to win the Champions League, and they may even become the first Italian team to win the treble.
Even Eto'o and Lucio were convinced by Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin is indeed the best in the world. It is our luck to be his teammate.
Thinking about the teams that will be ravaged by Lu Wenbin in the Serie A and Champions League this coming season, everyone feels that it is quite a blessing to be teammates with Lu Wenbin.
Of course, training is training after all, and its intensity is completely different from that of a formal competition.
The real test will come in the official competition.
Inter Milan's first official match of the new season is the Italian Super Cup against last season's Serie A runner-up Roma.
But that was on August 22nd.
Just two days after Lu Wenbin trained with the team, he first faced a warm-up match between Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus: the TIM Cup.
The TIM Cup is a summer warm-up match between the traditional top three teams in Serie A sponsored by Tim Telecom, usually held after the start of summer training.
The competition system is that three teams play in a round-robin format, each game is 45 minutes, and all games are completed in one day.
In Italian football, this is a cursed tournament.
Since 2001, this warm-up match has been held nine times.
Most of the teams that won the championship in the first nine seasons failed to win the Serie A championship in the following new seasons. Only Inter Milan in the 2007/2008 season won both the TIM Cup and the Serie A championship.
The other eight TIM champions all missed the championship in the following Serie A seasons.
However, Mourinho is not a superstitious person, and Juventus and AC Milan will not let up because of any curse.
This is not only a competition between three top teams, but also an opportunity to hone the team's formation for the new season.
Besides, winning is always better than losing, and no one would deliberately lose because of the so-called curse.
What's more, the curse is not completely effective. Wasn't there an exception in the 2007/2008 season
Therefore, all three teams basically sent out their main lineups for the new season.
Lu Wenbin saw many superstar-level players in Juventus and AC Milan, including Piero, Toni, Buffon, Chiellini, Inzaghi, Nesta, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ibrahimovic, etc.
There are indeed more superstar players in Serie A than in the Bundesliga.
Because there is only one top club in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, but there are three in Serie A.
The first game was between Inter Milan and Juventus. Lu Wenbin, who had just joined the team, failed to play, and Inter Milan defeated Juventus with a score of 1-0.
Then, in the second game against AC Milan, after both sides failed to break the deadlock, Mourinho replaced Lu Wenbin in the 30th minute.
In fact, Mourinho did not expect Lu Wenbin to have any outstanding performance in the first warm-up match. After all, he had only been in the team for two days.
A game has a total playing time of 45 minutes, and Lu Wenbin only has 15 minutes.
Mourinho just wanted Lu Wenbin to play and find the feeling of the game.
However, Lu Wenbin did not waste these 15 minutes.
He came to Inter Milan with the highest transfer fee and annual salary in the world, so naturally he cannot have the same demands as ordinary players.
Even if there are only 15 minutes, Lu Wenbin will try his best.
Although he is not familiar with the cooperation with his teammates, Lu Wenbin's personal strength with multiple attributes full of values is not to be underestimated.
Lu Wenbin kept running and trying, and finally in the 42nd minute he dribbled the ball through the defense of Gattuso and Nesta and successfully shot in the penalty area.
The ball bypassed goalkeeper Amelia's fingers and went into the blind corner of the goal.
Lu Wenbin came on as a substitute in the second game to help Inter Milan beat AC Milan 1-0, winning the TIM Cup with two consecutive victories.
Although it was just a warm-up match, Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance of scoring a goal in just 15 minutes still attracted widespread attention and reports after the game.
Countless Nerazzurri fans are eagerly waiting for Lu Wenbin to bring them the long-lost Champions League trophy. (Seeking monthly tickets)
