After Lu Wenbin scored a goal to help Inter Milan lead Roma 2-0 at home and 4-1 in two rounds, all the Inter Milan fans cheered loudly.
This score basically means that Inter Milan's qualification for the Italian Cup final is secured.
Inter Milan is one step closer to the treble.
Of course, the game is not over yet.
After falling behind by three goals in the aggregate score, Roma was really pushed into a desperate situation.
They launched a fierce attack, and actually scored a goal in the 43rd minute to equalize the game.
The total score between the two sides was 4-2, with Roma still two goals short.
If Roma can equalize the aggregate score, then Roma will eliminate Inter Milan with the advantage of away goals.
Therefore, after a 15-minute break, Roma launched another crazy attack at the beginning of the second half.
However, they scored a goal after a frantic attack in the final stages of the first half, but that doesn't mean they can always score goals and not concede goals to their opponents.
If we launch a large-scale attack, we will definitely face the danger of leaving our rear empty.
Lu Wenbin’s omnipotence is not just for show.
In the 54th minute, Samuel forced Totti to take a long dribble of the ball, and the vice-captain Cordoba kicked the ball out of the penalty area and it fell to the feet of midfielder Biabiany.
Inter Milan turned from defense to offense.
Biabiany didn't waste any time at all. Before the Roma players could press forward, he kicked the ball in front of Lu Wenbin.
Although the ball was kicked a little too far, Lu Wenbin was too fast. He grabbed the ball before Juan and Pizarro, and there was only one central defender Burdisso in front of him.
Lu Wenbin did not hesitate, did not pass the ball to Milito and Eto'o on the flanks, and did not dribble past Burdisso.
After receiving the pass from Biabiany not far in front of the center circle, he did not stop the ball and shot it directly from a long distance. The ball flew into the air, passed by Burdisso and flew towards the Roma goal.
It was Roma's attack just now. Roma goalkeeper Doni was standing a little forward, in the penalty area. Lu Wenbin observed Doni's position before receiving the ball.
This is the benefit brought by his full vision attribute.
Everyone originally thought that Lu Wenbin would receive the ball and break through Burdisso or pass the ball to Milito and Eto'o to create a threat.
No one expected that Lu Wenbin didn't even stop the ball, but kicked it directly towards the Roma goal.
And the ball didn't go off target. Looking at the direction it was flying, it was indeed towards the Roma goal.
Doni didn't care at first when Inter Milan intercepted Totti's ball and launched a counterattack. After all, no matter how hard you fight back, it takes time.
He just stared at the ball and slowly backed away, not rushing back to the goal line.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin didn't even stop the ball and suddenly shot just past the center line.
When he saw the ball flying towards the goal in the air, Donny suddenly became nervous.
He quickly turned around and ran back, observing where the ball landed and adjusting the direction of his run.
However, the ball was much faster than him. Although he was closer to the goal line, the ball almost flew to the front of the goal with him and fell into the goal frame.
Donny hadn't retreated to the goal line yet, so he could only dive into the goal while raising his hands as high as he could, hoping to use his palm to lift the falling ball over the crossbar.
However, due to insufficient preparation, Donny touched the ball but failed to stop it.
The ball touched his fingertips, then hit the bottom of the crossbar and fell into the goal with Donny.
In an instant, the entire Meazza Stadium was boiling.
“Goooooooooooooooooal…”
"A world-class goal! A world-class goal! Lu scored a world-class goal from a super long distance of about 50 meters!"
"Donnie made a mistake. Facing Lou's superb shooting skills, he actually stood forward!"
Amid the cheers of Inter Milan players and fans, many Roma fans closed their eyes in despair.
Lu Wenbin scored twice, Inter Milan led Roma 3-1 at home and 5-2 on aggregate. The gap between the two sides widened to 3 goals again, and it was really difficult for Roma to advance.
After the game resumed, Roma naturally continued their desperate attack, but Mourinho did not give them any chance.
Not only did he replace Zanetti with the new force Cambiasso, he also replaced Eto'o with the third substitute Mariga in the defensive midfielder position, changing to a double defensive midfielder to strengthen the defense.
When Roma's attack reached the frontcourt, it was always intercepted by Cambiasso and Mariga.
Even if they couldn't stop them, there were still strong players like Maicon, Samuel, Cordoba and others behind them, and Roma was unable to break the deadlock and score a goal.
Not only that, they were often counterattacked by Inter Milan. Even if they failed to counterattack, they would use the ball to push Roma's formation back, making it impossible for them to attack.
In the 77th minute, Inter Milan intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack. Although it failed in the end, it forced the entire Roma team to retreat and defend against Inter Milan's attack.
Lu Wenbin was in the midfield more than 30 meters away from Roma's goal, constantly passing the ball with Stankovic, Biabiany, Zanetti and Milito, looking for opportunities to attack.
However, the quick counterattack just now failed, and Inter Milan could only retreat and pass the ball back and forth to try to tear open Roma's defense.
Now it has turned into a positional warfare offensive.
The Roma team was on high alert and most of the team retreated. For a moment, Lu Wenbin couldn't find a place to start.
Moreover, Roma's midfielder Pizarro was always following him, constantly trying to steal the ball.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin's off-ball running and dribbling abilities are so high that he can always find opportunities to receive the ball from his teammates, then protect the ball and pass it to where he wants. Pizarro could not find a chance to kick.
As for tackles, not many teams dare to tackle Lu Wenbin now, and even few dare to tackle other Inter Milan players.
Lu Wenbin's free kick was too threatening.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Wenbin’s number of free kick goals has decreased recently.
However, relatively speaking, the defensive pressure faced by Lu Wenbin was much lower.
So, when Lu Wenbin got the ball again and turned his back to Pizarro and raised his foot to pass the ball to Stankovic, Pizarro's defense relaxed for a moment.
But Lu Wenbin did not pass the ball. Instead, he suddenly kicked the ball with his heel and knocked it past Pizarro. Lu Wenbin then went around the other side of Pizarro's body, received the ball and completed the turn: he kicked the ball with his heel and separated the ball from the player.
Lu Wenbin's action was too sudden. Pizarro was suddenly passed by and Roma's defense was caught off guard.
Before they could leave Milito behind to defend Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin had already taken a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The ball drew an arc in the air, bypassed the goalkeeper Doni who was trying to save the ball, and went into the blind corner of the goal along the bottom edge of the crossbar.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat trick and led Inter Milan to a 4-1 home win over Roma, 6-2 on aggregate.
With such a big score and only ten minutes left in the game, Roma had no hope at all.
Even captain Totti lowered his head in frustration.
Lu Wenbin, who had a hat trick and an assist, was replaced by Mourinho to prepare for the next league title.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan defeated Roma 2-1 in the first leg away and 4-1 at home in the second leg, a total of 6-2 in both legs, and advanced to the final of the 2010/2011 Italian Cup.
