When Lu Wenbin no longer broke through and shot after getting the ball, but increased the number of passes and assists, other Inter Milan players got more shooting opportunities.
In the 63rd minute, when Lu Wenbin took the ball outside the penalty area corner and pretended to take a long shot, he attracted the siege of three Fiorentina defenders and the goalkeeper moved to block the near corner, but he made a wonderful pass to the side of the penalty area on the other side.
The right-back Maicon, who was unguarded and quietly broke into the penalty area, received the pass from Lu Wenbin and shot directly with a powerful shot.
The ball flew into the goal like a cannonball. Fiorentina goalkeeper Boruc didn't even have time to make a save. He just watched the ball fly into the net.
Lu Wenbin assisted Maicon to score Inter Milan's second goal, helping the team to lead their opponents 2-1 again.
Next, Lu Wenbin turned into a front midfielder, constantly switching positions with Sneijder and others, and then used his full vision and passing to assist his teammates, harassing Fiorentina's defense.
If it weren't for the poor shooting skills and luck of his teammates, Inter Milan might have scored another goal.
People have inertia.
When Lu Wenbin assisted Maicon to score Inter Milan's second goal in the 63rd minute and stopped shooting and only passed the ball, the Fiorentina players who were defending Lu Wenbin had a bit of conditioned reflex through continuous strengthening.
By the 80th minute, as long as Lu Wenbin got the ball and looked up at his teammates' running positions, the Fiorentina players would subconsciously block Lu Wenbin's passing path to prevent him from passing the ball to assist.
Of course, it was impossible to completely give up blocking Lu Wenbin's shooting route. After all, Lu Wenbin's reputation was there, and their goal was to block Lu Wenbin.
But Lu Wenbin didn't shoot in the last few dozen minutes and only passed the ball. That kind of psychological habitual paralysis made them less vigilant about Lu Wenbin's shooting.
Even some commentators were disappointed and said: "Since Lou assisted Maicon, he hasn't had a shot. He has been passing the ball and assisting, doing the work of an organizing midfielder. Although he did a good job, it is still disappointing not to see him score a goal."
"Yes, everyone wants to see Lu Wenbin score a goal and break the record in this game."
"Maybe Lu doesn't care whether he breaks Batistuta's record or not?"
Amid the disappointment of the audience and the complacency of the opponents, the time came to the 91st minute and Lu Wenbin retreated to the midfield again and got the ball.
After Lu Wenbin got the ball, he was surrounded by the same close defender, Donadel.
However, Lu Wenbin's dribbling, speed and physique made it difficult for Donadel to snatch the ball from Lu Wenbin, and he could only interfere from the side.
It was not until Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area that defenders Gamberini and Comotto came up to assist in defense and slowed down Lu Wenbin's speed.
Lu Wenbin used his body to protect the ball. While controlling the ball, he looked to the left and right and into the penalty area to see the running positions of Eto'o, Sneijder and others.
Subconsciously, Gamberini and others tried to grab the ball while also paying attention to preventing Lu Wenbin from passing the ball to Eto'o, Sneijder and others.
Of course, Donadel, who was responsible for defending Lu Wenbin, didn't care about that. He first blocked Lu Wenbin's shooting line, and then kept trying to steal the ball.
However, Lu Wenbin's physical attributes and dribbling ability are too high.
In the narrow space surrounded by three people, Lu Wenbin used his full physique to hold his position, used his skills to control the ball, and looked up to observe the running positions of his teammates.
Then, when Lu Wenbin saw Stankovic running from the wing and about to enter the penalty area with no one guarding him, Lu Wenbin raised his foot and made a gesture to pass the ball to that side.
Gamberini had just followed Lu Wenbin's gaze and saw Stankovic's open space, so he was guarding against Lu Wenbin's pass.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Wenbin raised his foot, he also stretched his leg towards the ball that Lu Wenbin passed to Stankovic, ready to intercept.
Donadel also subconsciously took a small step in that direction. Although he did not try his best to block the passing line like Gamberini, he left a gap under his feet.
Then, everyone saw that Lu Wenbin's foot did not kick the ball to Stankovic, but he shook his ankle and pushed the ball under Gamberini's crotch, and the ball passed through Gamberini's crotch: a fake pass.
Then, Lu Wenbin took a step sideways, pushed aside another defender, Comotto, and squeezed through the gap between Comotto and Gamberini.
Lu Wenbin completed a perfect crotch-piercing pass under the defense of three people, and the ball rolled into the penalty area.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin did not pass the ball but broke through the crotch, Comotto and Gamberini were both shocked.
Comotto immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Wenbin's clothes, and Gamberini also grabbed Lu Wenbin's raised hand, trying to stop Lu Wenbin.
Although the ball passed, Lu Wenbin's position was still outside the penalty area.
As long as Lu Wenbin can be kept, even if it is a foul, giving Lu Wenbin a free kick outside the penalty area is worth it, which is better than Lu Wenbin breaking into the penalty area and shooting.
Lu Wenbin's goal scoring rate from shots in the penalty area is much higher than from free kicks.
However, ideas are beautiful and facts are cruel.
Lu Wenbin first shook off Gamberini's hand-pulling attempt with a flick of his hand, and then rushed towards the restricted area with all his strength.
Although the jersey was pulled by Comotto, Lu Wenbin still broke free from Comotto's pull: the jersey was torn apart by Comotto with a loud rip.
Seeing that the defense had torn Lu Wenbin's clothes, the referee put the whistle into his mouth and was about to call a foul.
But Lu Wenbin seemed to be unaware of it. He did not even stop to look at how torn his clothes were. Instead, he took two strides into the penalty area, caught up with the football rolling from under Gamberini's crotch, and shot before central defender Camparese blocked the shooting angle.
In line with the principle of offensive advantage, the referee did not blow the whistle.
Then, everyone saw that the ball shot by Lu Wenbin flew past the feet of Campbell who flew to block the shot, avoided the save of goalkeeper Boruc, and accurately went into the far goal along the goal post.
The referee took one look, pointed to the center circle, and blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid.
At the same time, commentators from various countries in the commentary booth also started yelling like crazy:
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooa…”
"The ball goes in, Lu finally scored a goal!"
"In the 12th game, Lu broke Batistuta's record of 11 consecutive goals in Serie A set in 1994, setting a record for consecutive goals in Serie A!"
"Lu becomes the first person in Serie A to score consecutive goals!"
"Lu's total number of goals for the year has also reached 94, tying the annual total goal record he set last year!"
"However, time is running out and Lu may not be able to break his own annual goal record."
"This is also amazing! After the transfer, he was able to tie the annual total goal record he set last year, which is already amazing!" (asking for monthly votes)
