After the second round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan will face a strong dialogue with the Old Lady Juventus at home.
Although Juventus only achieved two wins, one draw and two losses after the first five rounds and ranked ninth in the standings, no one will underestimate Juventus, a veteran strong team with a profound foundation.
However, before the competition begins, there is an awards ceremony.
On the evening of October 3, in front of tens of thousands of fans at the Meazza, Lu Wenbin received the European Golden Boot Award for the 2009/2010 season.
Last season, Lu Wenbin defended the Bundesliga Golden Boot title and the European Golden Boot title with an incredible 52 Bundesliga goals for Hoffenheim.
Lu Wenbin made 31 appearances and scored 52 league goals, breaking his previous record for the most goals and points in the European Golden Boot Award set the season before last.
With more than 50 league goals in a season, other players can probably only look up to him.
Perhaps only Lu Wenbin himself has the hope of breaking this record.
After the European Golden Boot Award Ceremony, at 9 p.m., the sixth round of the 2010/2011 Serie A match between Inter Milan and Juventus officially began at home.
In this game, Juventus' No. 1 goalkeeper Buffon let Lu Wenbin see the power of a world-class goalkeeper.
In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin was offside and received Sneijder's long pass to have a one-on-one chance. However, his shot was blocked by Buffon's leg and went out of bounds.
Lu Wenbin rarely failed to shoot in a one-on-one duel with the goalkeeper.
In addition, the close marking of Juventus midfielders Melo and Chiellini, as well as the opponent's overall defense, made it very difficult for Lu Wenbin to get a shooting opportunity.
Throughout the first half, Lu Wenbin only had five or six shooting opportunities, and due to the interference of the opponent, only three of his shots hit the goal frame, and all of them were saved by Buffon.
Fortunately, Juventus' own offensive line also performed poorly, and Acuna even missed an opportunity to make a follow-up shot on an empty goal less than ten meters in front of the goal.
Both sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0-0.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and Mourinho asked Lu Wenbin to increase the number of passes and assists.
An important reason why Lu Wenbin failed to score in the first half was that Juventus focused its main energy on defending him.
Juventus's own fame and the European Golden Boot award ceremony before the game made them concentrate almost all their defensive strength to defend Lu Wenbin.
Juventus' defensive focus did not change in the second half.
So, in the 59th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through Melo and Chiellini in a counterattack, attracted the remaining two defenders behind him, and suddenly shook his ankle and passed the ball to the other side of the penalty area.
The Juventus players were horrified and didn't understand how Lu Wenbin, who was dribbling the ball with his head down, could see the gap on the other side
This is the role of full vision.
Sometimes, there is no need to look up and observe carefully. Lu Wenbin can tell that the other side of the opponent's defense zone is empty just by glancing at it while running.
Sure enough, Eto'o made a high-speed run from the other side, and without stopping the ball, he volleyed it directly towards the goal.
Although Buffon reacted quickly and made a save, and his fingertips actually touched the ball, it was still of no avail.
Eto'o's non-stop shot was too powerful. Although the ball was poked by Buffon, it still hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net.
Lu Wenbin assisted Eto'o to score a goal, and Inter Milan finally broke the deadlock and led Juventus 1-0.
Now, Inter Milan can play a real defensive counterattack with peace of mind.
Juventus had to attack as a whole team in an attempt to equalize the score.
But after the overall pressure, Juventus' backcourt space is bound to expand, leaving more space for two super-fast forwards, Lu Wenbin and Eto'o, to sprint.
With the first goal assisted by Lu Wenbin, Juventus' defenders had to devote some of their energy to defending Eto'o.
So Lu Wenbin's opportunity came.
Just ten minutes after the first goal, in the 69th minute, Juventus striker Quagliarella's ball was intercepted by Lucio.
Lucio, who intercepted the ball, did not persist in using his qualities as a sharp defender this time. Instead, he decisively passed the ball to midfielder Stankovic on the wing.
Then Stankovic did not stick to the ball. After turning around and adjusting, he made a diagonal pass. Lu Wenbin also successfully made an offside move and made a high-speed run to receive the ball near the corner of the penalty area.
Lu Wenbin's full speed was so fast that when he received the ball, the defender left behind by him had not yet caught up with him.
Lu Wenbin naturally would not waste the opportunity.
Facing Buffon who was blocking the near corner, Lu Wenbin took a long shot and the ball curved into the far corner.
This time Buffon was finally helpless and failed to save Lu Wenbin's long-range shot without any interference.
Lu Wenbin scored a goal to help Juventus lead 2-0 at home.
After this goal, no one from either side scored again.
Inter Milan slowed down its offensive, and Juventus' defensive system did not allow Lu Wenbin to score goals as easily as he did in the Bundesliga.
After 90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan defeated Juventus 2-0 at home with Lu Wenbin's assist and goal, and continued to occupy the first place in the Serie A standings.
Next comes the FIFA match day, when European national teams begin competing for the 2012 European Cup qualifiers.
The Chinese team has no official competition tasks, but has two warm-up matches.
Normally, Lu Wenbin does not participate in warm-up matches or friendly matches. After qualifying for the Asian Cup qualifiers at the beginning of the year, Lu Wenbin did not even participate in the East Asian Four Finals.
However, there are only more than two months left until the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup. The national team still hopes that Lu Wenbin will participate in two warm-up matches, get acquainted with the national team, and strive to make a breakthrough in next year's Qatar Asian Cup.
The World Cup is a bit far away, but with the world's super striker Lu Wenbin, we can still look forward to the Asian Cup.
At this time, numerous high-level figures from the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese Super League, and various clubs, including Nan Yong and Xie Yalong, have been arrested and imprisoned in the domestic football world. There are also countless players and referees involved in organized crime, gambling, and match-fixing, all of whom have been thrown into prison and are awaiting trial.
Countless scandals are exposed to the eyes of the people every day, and the entire Chinese football has fallen into a dark period.
Therefore, the new chairman of the Football Association and national football coach Gao Hongbo both called personally and hoped that Lu Wenbin would participate in the national team's warm-up match, use the match as training, and run-in, so as to strive for a breakthrough in next year's Asian Cup and boost the confidence of Chinese football.
Lu Wenbin did not refuse.
Lu Wenbin had two business activities scheduled during this period, but he postponed them and packed his bags to return to China to participate in the national team's warm-up match. (Seeking monthly tickets)
