After finally taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness and scoring a goal in the injury time, Lu Wenbin was very excited and ran wildly on the court to celebrate.
It is always better to score a goal than no goal, and adding a record is always worth being happy and celebrating.
Teammates also came up to celebrate with Lu Wenbin and congratulate him.
Thousands of Inter Milan fans who travelled with the team also gave warm applause and cheers in the stands, and some Fiorentina fans also admired and applauded.
Although they didn't want Lu Wenbin to break Batistuta's record before the game started, now that it has been broken, they can only congratulate Lu Wenbin.
Such a record deserves respect even from opponents.
However, after the celebration, Lu Wenbin was unable to continue the game and was replaced by Mourinho.
After all, Inter Milan was leading 3-1 and there was not much time left until the end of the game, and Lu Wenbin's jersey was also torn.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin was replaced early and enjoyed the audience's applause alone.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan defeated Fiorentina 3-1 away and continued to lead the standings.
Lu Wenbin was named the best player of the match with one assist and one goal. He broke Batistuta's record of 11 consecutive goals in Serie A set in 1994 by scoring in 12 consecutive Serie A rounds, and also tied his annual total goal record set in 2009 with 94 goals.
This round of matches is the last game before the Serie A winter break and also Inter Milan's last game in 2010.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in 2010 was fixed at 94 goals, tying the record he set last year, but did not break the record.
Even so, after transferring to the Serie A league known for its defense, facing stronger defensive pressure and the pain of getting used to new teammates, Lu Wenbin was able to maintain the same number of goals as last year, which is really admirable.
With over 90 goals scored for two consecutive years, the first FIFA Ballon d'Or after the merger in 2010 completely lost its suspense.
Even if Iniesta scored the winning goal in the World Cup final and led Spain to win the championship, it would not affect Lu Wenbin's winning of the award at all.
Lu Wenbin's treble in Hoffenheim in the first half of the year, coupled with his performance in the second half of the year that made headlines in almost every game for Inter Milan, has continued for a year, and no one can shake his award-winning foundation.
However, the Golden Globe Awards will be held next year.
After winning the match against Fiorentina, Inter Milan won the winter break championship with a 6-point advantage and has a great chance to continue to win the Serie A championship and launch an attack on the treble.
However, at the beginning of next year, because of participating in the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup, Lu Wenbin will miss several Inter Milan games, including an Italian Cup round of 16 and a quarter-final: if Inter Milan can advance to the quarter-finals.
The Italian Cup competition system is that the top eight teams in Serie A last season directly enter the round of 16 and compete with the other eight teams that have advanced through the previous rounds for a place in the quarterfinals. One game will decide the winner.
The first game was during the Asian Cup group stage, and Lu Wenbin could not participate anyway.
The second quarter-final will be between the Asian Cup semi-finals and finals.
If Lu Wenbin can lead the Chinese team into the semi-finals, even if he fails to reach the final, the third and fourth place final will prevent him from participating in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only pray that his Inter Milan teammates can be more powerful.
If his teammates lose the Italian Cup, his treble this season will be over early.
Therefore, at the early Christmas dinner party held by the club, Lu Wenbin earnestly asked his teammates to win the two Italian Cup games and not to lose motivation just because they won the Italian Cup last season.
The teammates all agreed, saying that they would do their best to win the game and advance, so that Lu Wenbin could go to the Asian Cup with peace of mind and hopefully win a championship.
Although the Chinese team is relatively weak, its opponents in the Asian Cup are not strong teams from Europe and the United States.
As a world-class superstar who has made a great name for himself in European football, Lu Wenbin is like an alien in Asia.
If Lu Wenbin cannot lead the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup, no matter how many goals he scores, it cannot be considered a success.
Lu Wenbin naturally also wants to succeed.
The Chinese team has never won the Asian Cup!
In 2004, the Chinese team reached the final of the Asian Cup held in their home country, competing with the Japanese team for the championship, but lost in the end.
That final attracted more than 400 million viewers across the country, and its ratings still rank first in the history of sports ratings. This shows how many fans in the country are looking forward to the national team winning a championship.
Of course, this also includes Lu Wenbin’s own family.
Now, he has the ability and the opportunity to help the national team achieve a historic breakthrough in the Asian Cup, so Lu Wenbin naturally does not want to miss it.
In fact, Mourinho and Moratti were hoping that the Chinese team would be eliminated in the group stage and go home.
It's just that they can't say it.
Generally speaking, continental competitions and world competitions are usually held in the summer, such as the European Cup and the World Cup.
But Qatar is located in the Middle East, and the temperature in summer is too high, sometimes exceeding 40 degrees.
Coupled with the intense exercise, many players would definitely not be able to persist, so the game was moved to winter.
In winter, the temperature in Qatar is usually around 10 to 20 degrees, which is just right for competitions.
This game schedule conflicts with the European League schedule.
As Inter Milan's offensive core and goal guarantee this season, Lu Wenbin missed many games in the second half of the season due to the Asian Cup, which naturally annoyed Inter Milan's owner and coach.
But this kind of thing cannot be prevented. We can only pray that Lu Wenbin will not be injured, and that the Chinese team will be eliminated in the group stage, so that Lu Wenbin can return to the club to play as soon as possible.
However, this idea cannot be expressed out loud. Morati and Mourinho can only wish Lu Wenbin a historic breakthrough in leading the Chinese team in the Asian Cup with a smile.
After the Christmas dinner, Lu Wenbin shot two commercials in Italy, and then hurried back to China with Kate on December 22.
After returning to China, Lu Wenbin did not take any advertising activities. Instead, he took Kate back to his hometown to meet his parents and stayed at home for two days.
The 666 sports brand company invested by Lu Wenbin set up its main factory and headquarters in Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, and recruited experienced professional managers and accounting personnel to manage it.
The company is currently building a factory and purchasing equipment. Next year, it will be able to start producing various jerseys, sneakers, footballs, basketballs and other sports equipment, and establish its own 666 brand direct sales store.
Of course, these things are just investments for Lu Wenbin, and he doesn’t usually care about them, nor can he manage them.
It would be better for him to concentrate on playing football. The more famous he becomes, the more money the sports brands he invests in will make, and in the future they can even be marketed around the world like Nike and Adidas.
Of course, that would require a greater and more lasting influence to provide advertising conditions for the brand to go beyond China and into the world.
At the same time, in his hometown of Meitan, Lu Wenbin’s company also opened a branch in the Meitan Industrial Park, which can be regarded as taking care of his hometown.
Not only can it increase local tax revenue and employment, the local government can also use Lu Wenbin's fame to attract other investments for his hometown.
This is Lu Wenbin's contribution to his hometown. (Please give me a monthly ticket)
