In addition to Lu Wenbin, the reporters will naturally not let go of the Hoffenheim club and fans.

Many reporters also interviewed Hoffenheim club and their fans, asking them about their views on the draw results.

On the club side, whether it is club officials, coaches or players, they all expressed their gratitude and congratulations to Lu Wenbin.

Thank you for the great success he has brought to Hoffenheim and congratulations on his success in Italy.

They said they were not surprised that Lu Wenbin quickly adapted to the Serie A and tied Batistuta's record of 11 consecutive Serie A goals.

They have always believed that Lu Wenbin is the best striker and the best player in the world.

However, regarding the game, they also said that they would try their best at home to defeat Inter Milan. The main central defender Simunić said that he would definitely do his best to defend Lu Wenbin and would not be soft on him.

As for the fans, now that Lu Wenbin's transfer to Inter Milan has become a fact and the team's poor performance this season, those fans who resented Lu Wenbin's transfer have put aside their resentment and only miss Lu Wenbin.

They miss the brilliant achievements and all the good memories that Lu Wenbin once brought to Hoffenheim. They miss the time when Lu Wenbin was there, when Hoffenheim was invincible in the league, cup and European competitions.

The Hoffenheim fans who were interviewed by reporters all expressed that they were grateful for the achievements and happiness that Lu Wenbin brought to Hoffenheim. They would not boo Lu Wenbin, they would only welcome Lu Wenbin "home."

The house that was originally rented to Lu Wenbin in the village has not had a second tenant to date. It’s not that no one wants to rent it, but that the landlord is unwilling to rent it.

He is not short of money, so he doesn't want a second tenant to destroy Lu Wenbin's life.

As Lu Wenbin's first stop in Europe and the professional league, the house is of great significance.

There are traces of Lu Wenbin's life there, and naturally there are also many things signed by Lu Wenbin himself.

Therefore, it was transformed by the landlord into a tourist attraction for some of Lu Wenbin's fans to visit.

There are even fans from Asia, America and Oceania who travel thousands of miles to Hoffenheim Village to visit the place where Lu Wenbin once lived.

This shows how popular Lu Wenbin is.

However, after the draw ceremony, the official Champions League quarter-finals will not be held until February next year.

Therefore, after two days of heated discussions, everyone turned their attention back to their respective leagues.

Whether Lu Wenbin can break Batistuta's record of scoring in 11 consecutive Serie A games, and whether he can break his annual goal record of 94 goals set last year this year, the next Serie A game may reveal the answer.

The schedule is also a coincidence, Inter Milan's next opponent is Fiorentina.

Batistuta's record of scoring in 11 consecutive Serie A games was set in 1994 when he played for Fiorentina.

Therefore, Fiorentina’s goal is simple, which is to do everything possible to prevent Lu Wenbin from scoring.

Batistuta is the god of war of Florence and an iconic figure of the Purple Lilies.

They couldn't do anything about Lu Wenbin tying Batistuta's consecutive scoring record in matches against other opponents, but in face-to-face confrontations, they had the opportunity to interrupt Lu Wenbin's scoring streak and prevent him from breaking the God of War record.

In that case, Batistuta is still the record holder, and Lu Wenbin is just a latecomer who tied the record.

Therefore, at the pre-match press conference the day before, Fiorentina captain Montolivo made a harsh statement: Fiorentina will do everything possible to prevent Lu Wenbin from scoring.

Some Fiorentina fans who were interviewed by reporters also claimed that they would turn the Franchi Stadium into hell and make Lu Wenbin stuck in the quagmire and unable to score any goals.

Lu Wenbin didn't care about it.

Many teams made bold statements before the game, claiming that they would be able to defend against him, shut him out and prevent him from scoring any goals, but most of them failed in the end.

The ability granted by the system makes Lu Wenbin very stable. As long as he performs normally, he can usually score goals.

Otherwise, he would not have set consecutive goal records in the Bundesliga, Serie A and the Champions League.

At 9 p.m. on December 19, the 17th round of Serie A match between Fiorentina and Inter Milan officially kicked off at the Viola's home stadium, the Stadio Franchi.

From the first minute, Fiorentina sent three people to closely guard Lu Wenbin.

Among them, the defensive midfielder Donadel was inseparable from Lu Wenbin. Even when Lu Wenbin returned to his own half to get the ball, Donadel did not leave at all.

Then, after entering within 40 meters of the Florence goal, captain Montolivo and central defender Gamberini will also come up and mark him closely.

If Lu Wenbin moves to the wing, other wing players will also mark him.

In short, Fiorentina, from top to bottom, put into practice what captain Montolivo said at the pre-match press conference: concentrate the entire team's strength to prevent Lu Wenbin from scoring.

The fans in the stands were the same. Whenever Lu Wenbin got the ball, they would boo and yell at him, trying their best to disrupt him.

Even when Eto'o scored the first goal for Inter Milan in the 23rd minute, they remained indifferent and still focused on defending Lu Wenbin.

This is really not caring about winning or losing, just to prevent Lu Wenbin from scoring and breaking Batistuta's consecutive goal record!

Of course, the players in the backcourt tried their best to stop Lu Wenbin, but the players in the frontcourt still wanted to score a goal.

Defense is not their concern, they still want to score a goal to equalize the score or even win.

After all, this is their home court, and they cannot completely surrender just because of Lu Wenbin's presence.

In the 38th minute, Mutu made a cross from the flank, and Gilardino made a shovel shot in front of the goal and shoveled the ball into the dead corner of Inter Milan's goal.

Cesar was out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Fiorentina equalized the score.

Then, until the end of the first half, neither team scored a goal.

Lu Wenbin had two shooting opportunities and one direct free kick in the first half, but failed to score.

This made Inter Milan fans and fans who support Lu Wenbin a little anxious.

However, Lu Wenbin didn't care.

There is no reward for breaking the record, it just adds some fame.

With his current world-class fame and reputation, creating another Serie A consecutive goal record will not bring him much more fame.

On the contrary, if the team wins, it can lay a solid foundation for winning the league championship and increase the probability of winning the treble.

From a big picture perspective, the team's victory is more important than Lu Wenbin's personal goal.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Lu Wenbin deliberately increased the number of passing assists.

Although his main task as a striker is to score goals, his full vision and passing ability should not be wasted. (Seeking monthly votes)
