No matter what Lu Wenbin thinks, it is a good thing that the Chinese team won the Asian Cup.
Whether it was the Football Association or the clubs, the media or the fans, the whole country was jubilant.
From a broader perspective, this Asian Cup title has indeed aroused the interest of many ordinary fans in playing football.
Some children under the age of 10 have also begun to like football and are clamoring for their parents to buy them balls to play.
The number of people playing football in China is indeed increasing.
After New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival, Lu Wenbin returned to Italy with Kate and his private team.
After arriving in Italy, Lu Wenbin still had to interview a few more people.
The cold in Qatar almost prevented the Chinese team from qualifying from the group stage, which also attracted the attention of Lu Wenbin.
Although his physique is at full value, it does not mean that he is immune to all poisons and never gets sick.
Therefore, while Lu Wenbin was still competing in Qatar, Kate and his assistant, lawyer and others contacted several private doctors, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.
The physiotherapists are domestic, while the sports doctors and nutritionists are foreign.
Finally, after the interviews, we hired one physical therapist, one doctor, and one nutritionist. They are all world-class and their salaries are also very high.
Fortunately, no matter how high it is, it is far less than the salary and advertising endorsement income of Lu Wenbin, the top football star.
These people's salaries are just a drop in the bucket compared to Lu Wenbin's annual income.
Lu Wenbin's private team is growing in size.
Just when Lu Wenbin returned home for the New Year, on February 3, in the 23rd round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Bari away.
Finally, Inter Milan defeated Bari 3-0 away and continued to lead the Serie A standings with 57 points.
Then, Lu Wenbin returned to the team on February 5.
When he saw Yuto Nagatomo, Lu Wenbin couldn't help but think of his girlfriend.
Listening to the private discussions of teammates, everyone is curious about the identity of Yuto Nagatomo's girlfriend, and wonders why Yuto Nagatomo would find a woman like that as his girlfriend.
However, out of politeness, no one discussed it openly in front of Nagatomo Yuto.
Yuto Nagatomo also knows that his girlfriend's identity has been exposed. He is rather taciturn and usually trains seriously, not really talking to his teammates.
However, Nagatomo Yuu cherished the opportunity to be loaned to Inter Milan. He trained very hard and the strength he showed in training was almost the same as Qi Wu, and he was recognized by the team.
It is estimated that Yuto Nagatomo will have many opportunities to play in the second half of the season.
Feelings are other people's private matters. As long as Nagatomo Yuto helps the team in the game, he will surely gradually integrate into the team.
Before the training began, Lu Wenbin used the 10 skill points rewarded from the Asian Cup championship to upgrade his free kick special skill to the intermediate level.
Lu Wenbin has maxed out the shooting, passing, dribbling, speed, physique, heading, vision and off-ball running required of a striker.
As for creativity and judgment, adding one point requires 5 skill points, which Lu Wenbin feels is a bit expensive, and adding all of them would not be enough. It would be better to add free kicks first to increase the probability of free kicks hitting the goal frame and shorten the cooling time.
After the free kick special skill is upgraded to the intermediate level, the system's free kick goal frame hit rate increases to 60%, and the cooling time is also reduced to 75 minutes.
Including the 15-minute halftime break, each game lasts about 110 minutes, and there is a high probability that Lu Wenbin will use the special skills of the free kick system twice in each game.
By watching the free kicks through the system, Lu Wenbin's own free kick technique will be further improved. He will have many opportunities to score two free kicks in a game in the future. The day when he completes a free kick hat trick in a single game like Mihajlovic will not be far away.
After the free kick skill is upgraded to the intermediate level, the skill points required to upgrade to the advanced level will become 20.
Therefore, he had 10 skill points left that he had not used. He saved them for when he got from level 18 to level 19 to get the 10 skill points as an upgrade reward. With a total of 20 skill points, he could upgrade his free kick to the next level.
By then, the goal frame hit rate of the advanced free kick skill will be increased to 70%, and the cooling time will be reduced to 60 minutes. Lu Wenbin can use the system skill twice in a game most of the time.
It’s scary to think about it.
On February 6, in the 24th round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced Roma at home. Lu Wenbin, who returned to the club, was included in the roster but did not start.
This was Lu Wenbin's first game after returning to the club after the Asian Cup. The Meazza Stadium was packed with fans shouting Lu Wenbin's name to welcome his first club game in the second half of the season.
However, since Lu Wenbin had just returned to the team, Mourinho did not replace Lu Wenbin until the 81st minute of the second half to help him find his feel for the game.
But at that time Inter Milan was already leading Roma 3-1.
In the end, Lu Wenbin really just went up to try to get the feeling, and didn't get a chance to take the free kick, didn't score a goal, and didn't get a single assist. In the end, he only received a 10,000 experience point reward for coming on as a substitute.
Inter Milan beat Roma 3-1 at home and continued to lead the standings with 60 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan.
It looks like Inter Milan will defend the Serie A title again.
The day after the match, Lu Wenbin and Kate flew to Abu Dhabi, UAE, to attend the 2011 World Laureus Sports Awards ceremony held there.
At this awards ceremony, Lu Wenbin did not have the overwhelming advantage like he did in the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Lu Wenbin's biggest competitor is Rafael Nadal, who won three Grand Slam titles last year and is ranked number one in the tennis world.
Judging from personal performance, Nadal is not much inferior to Lu Wenbin.
Fortunately, Hoffenheim's treble and the popularity of football as the world's number one sport gave Lu Wenbin extra points, allowing him to narrowly beat Nadal and win the 2011 World Laureus Best Male Athlete Award.
The best team award was not given to the triple crown winner Hoffenheim, but to the South Africa World Cup champion Spain.
After receiving the Laureus Award and returning to Italy, Lu Wenbin officially entered the competition rhythm of the second half of the season.
On February 13, in the 25th round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Juventus away.
Juventus is not in a very good situation this season. After the first 24 rounds, they are ranked 8th in the standings. Not to mention the Champions League, they didn't even make it into the Europa League qualifying zone.
Therefore, Juventus at this time is no different from those teams that are desperately trying to avoid relegation, and they are stronger and have played in an extraordinary state at home.
In addition, Lu Wenbin participated in the Asian Cup, received the FIFA Golden Ball Award, returned to his hometown in China to celebrate, and received the Laureus Sports Award during this period. The continuous long-distance flights caused him to not be in a very good state.
Buffon, who is getting better with age, played very well in this game and saved two very threatening shots from Lu Wenbin.
In the end, Lu Wenbin only used a free kick opportunity in the first half to help Inter Milan score a direct free kick, but Juventus, who played at home, scored two.
Therefore, Inter Milan lost 1-2 to Juventus away from home, and the points remained at 60 points, but they still remained at the top of the standings. (Seeking monthly tickets)
