Until the end of the game, Fiorentina, who had no desire, did not score a single goal. Inter Milan slaughtered the Purple Lilies 5-0 with only half of the main players and half of the substitutes.
However, all five goals scored by Inter Milan were related to Lu Wenbin, which further strengthened the determination of Real Madrid president Florentino to introduce Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin not only scored a hat-trick, but this hat-trick also brought his Serie A goal tally for this season to 54.
Last season, Lu Wenbin set a record of 52 Bundesliga goals and the European Golden Boot goal record in 31 games for Hoffenheim.
Now, Lu Wenbin has gone one step further, because after missing a few games in the Asian Cup, he set a record of 54 Serie A goals and a new European Golden Boot record in just 29 games.
In Serie A, where the defense is more intense, Lu Wenbin's goal efficiency is higher than in the Bundesliga, which indirectly proves that Lu Wenbin's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he is becoming more and more worthy of competition from the top teams that want the championship.
After the game, the news that Lu Wenbin scored a hat trick, created 5 goals, led Inter Milan to slaughter Fiorentina, and scored 54 goals in Serie A naturally became the front-page headlines of countless media.
Moreover, Lu Wenbin's performance as forward and attacking midfielder is also eye-catching.
Lu Wenbin has been playing as a forward since his debut. Everyone only knows that Lu Wenbin has good passing skills, but no one expected him to be this good.
In this game, Lu Wenbin not only scored a hat trick himself, but also provided two assists, creating all five goals by himself.
Moreover, data alone cannot explain Lu Wenbin's entire performance.
Lu Wenbin also passed a lot of threatening balls. If he hadn't had a poor understanding with Milito and Pandev, Inter Milan might have scored more goals.
Does this mean that putting Lu Wenbin in midfield will lead to better performance
This requires Mourinho to continue experimenting and verifying.
In addition to Lu Wenbin's big splash, the better news is that in this round, Inter Milan beat Fiorentina and took all three points, while AC Milan unexpectedly lost and was tied by Roma away from home.
AC Milan is on the crucial road to the league title and will certainly try its best.
Even so, they were tied by Roma, who were about to play in the Italian Cup. This also indirectly proved Roma's strength and that they are not a soft persimmon.
In the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-final, Inter Milan must field all its main players.
After Inter Milan won and AC Milan drew, with only two league games left, Inter Milan is 5 points ahead of AC Milan and basically has the championship in hand.
Only if Inter Milan loses both in the last two rounds and AC Milan wins both, can AC Milan make a comeback and win the championship.
However, the chances of that happening are too small. Everyone knows that Inter Milan's continued defense of the Serie A title is basically a done deal, and it all depends on whether they can win the title ahead of time.
…
Putting aside the league for the moment, three days after the match with Fiorentina, Inter Milan faced the second round of the Italian Cup semi-final against Roma.
Fighting on three fronts is really terrifying. It overdraws the players' bodies. Sometimes they don't get injured during the game, but they will get injured during training because their body functions are overdrawn.
Just before the match with Roma, Lucio and Sneijder both strained their hamstrings during training, causing Inter Milan to lose two key players.
Now, Lu Wenbin has no choice but to play as a central midfielder.
Coutinho was originally Sneijder's substitute, but now there is a better choice, and Lu Wenbin's performance in the attacking midfielder position is so good, Mourinho naturally will not use Coutinho as an attacking midfielder.
At 9 p.m. on May 11, with the referee's whistle, the second leg of the 2010/2011 Italian Cup semi-final between Inter Milan and Roma at home officially began.
As many people expected, with Sneijder injured and absent, Lu Wenbin was placed in the attacking midfielder position by Mourinho, partnering with two forwards Stankovic and Biabiany in attacking the midfield, with Milito and Eto'o as the double strikers.
This was the first time that Lu Wenbin started as an attacking midfielder.
However, Lu Wenbin did not feel any discomfort.
Not to mention that he had played Sneijder's attacking midfielder position in the previous game. The confidence brought by the system and the big heart cultivated by scoring goals, winning championships and awards in recent years would not cause him any discomfort.
Less than a minute into the game, in the 52nd second, Lu Wenbin suddenly made a straight pass from midfield and broke through Roma's defense.
If Milito hadn't started a step later, this would have been a standard one-on-one shot with a very high chance of scoring!
In addition to passing threatening balls, Lu Wenbin's off-ball running and dribbling skills also make him a key link in midfield support.
When Zanetti, Stankovic, Biabiany, Milito, Eto'o and others had the ball, they could often see Lu Wenbin not far away from them.
Even if there are people defending Lu Wenbin, they can pass the ball to him with confidence.
Because Lu Wenbin's dribbling and ball-protecting abilities are so high, in a one-on-one situation, almost no one can snatch the ball from his feet.
It is difficult for the opponent to use two or three people to defend Lu Wenbin in the midfield for a long time, because there are Milito and Eto'o in front to attract firepower!
There is no way Roma will leave those two alone.
After Lu Wenbin retreated to the midfield to play as a central midfielder, the defensive pressure he faced was less than when he played as a forward, and Lu Wenbin himself had many more offensive options.
Breaking through, passing, wall passes, through balls, long passes and so on, Lu Wenbin played very well in the attacking midfielder position and Roma was badly beaten by Inter Milan.
Although Milito did not catch up with the through ball in the first minute, Lu Wenbin made more wonderful passes and the two forwards were still able to grasp some of them.
In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through Roma's defense with a surgical pass and passed the ball to the corner of the small penalty area.
Eto'o rushed from outside the penalty area to the corner of the small penalty area, raised his foot and shot, and the ball went into the gap between the goalkeeper and the goal post.
Inter Milan leads 1-0, the aggregate score is 3-1, and Roma is two goals behind.
There was no choice but for Roma to intensify their attack.
However, when Roma stepped up its attack, Lu Wenbin had more space to break through and pass the ball in the backcourt.
In the 30th minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball through De Rossi's defense and faced Juan on the penalty area line, preparing to pass the ball diagonally to Milito in the penalty area.
Juan had to rush towards Milito to block Lu Wenbin's pass.
But Lu Wenbin kicked the ball over, and without waiting for Juan to rush back, he suddenly kicked it from the spot and made a long shot outside the penalty area, which hit the ground.
Even though he kicked from the spot, the power of Lu Wenbin's shot was not low due to his full physique.
The ball quickly passed through the crowd in the penalty area without being touched by anyone, and rolled to the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Doni saw Lu Wenbin's shot and also rushed to the lower right corner.
Unfortunately, Lu Wenbin played a ground ball, and it takes time for the goalkeeper to fall to the ground, which is why the goalkeeper hates ground balls.
The same was true for this ball. Before Donny could get his hand into position, the ball had already rolled under his palm and into the goal.
In the 30th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through and shot to score Inter Milan's second goal.
Inter Milan leads Roma 2-0 at home and 4-1 on aggregate.
The 3-goal difference basically sealed the victory, and it would be difficult for Roma to turn the tables. (Seeking monthly votes)
