After Lu Wenbin assisted Eto'o to score the first goal, Manchester United as a whole seemed a little anxious. They wanted to push the formation further forward and wanted to tear open Inter Milan's defense with numbers.
However, Ferguson remained calm. He kept shouting the names of the players on the sidelines, with his hands pressed down, asking everyone to calm down, be patient and not be impatient, as there was still early.
Ferguson, who is already in his seventies, used his rich experience to slow down Manchester United's offensive rhythm.
Mourinho's bus cannot be penetrated by numbers alone.
If everyone presses forward to attack, there is a possibility that, like the first goal conceded, Lu Wenbin, Sneijder or Stankovic could break through the entire back line with one pass.
In the 33rd minute, Inter Milan got another chance to counterattack. Lu Wenbin, who was dribbling the ball on the wing, was pulled down from behind by Giggs who returned to defense in time.
Although Giggs received a yellow card and gave Lu Wenbin a free kick, Lu Wenbin was unable to score the free kick on the wing even though he activated his special skills.
Giggs made a good defensive move.
If he had pressed too high just now, he would not have had time to pull down Lu Wenbin, and Lu Wenbin might have cut in from the wing, posing a huge threat to Manchester United whether passing or shooting.
Manchester United attacked, but the momentum had slowed down and they were neither impatient nor anxious, so they did not score any goals.
Inter Milan focused on defense, had a relatively low ball possession rate, had few counterattack opportunities, and failed to score a second goal.
The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1-0, with Inter Milan taking the lead.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and Irving was replaced by Hernandez.
After all, Irving has been injured and can be called a glass man. He is over 30 years old and is no longer the world-famous wind-chasing boy Irving.
Although there were several good performances at the beginning of the first half, they gradually became weaker and could not keep up with the intensity of the Champions League final.
Therefore, at halftime, Ferguson replaced Owen with Hernandez.
Hernandez also performed well. Just a few minutes after coming on the court, he made a long shot outside the penalty area and almost scored a goal.
In the end, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line, which scared the Inter Milan players and fans, and made Manchester United fans hold their heads in regret.
Next, Hernandez also cooperated with Rooney, Giggs, Scholes and others to create a lot of threats.
However, on the football field, threats are useless, only goals are useful.
The defense line composed of world-class defensive superstars such as Lucio, Samuel, Maicon and Zanetti is like an iron wall, and Manchester United's offense has always been unable to break through this defense line.
Although Qi Wu is a little weaker, Cesar is still standing in the goal!
As for long shots, it all depends on luck.
Even someone like Lu Wenbin, who has perfect shooting skills and strength, has a low success rate from long-range shots, let alone others.
As time passed, even the calm Ferguson became restless, let alone the players on the field
Manchester United gradually began to get impatient again.
In the 73rd minute, when the regular game time entered the last 20 minutes, Manchester United launched another offensive. Even the full-backs Fabio and Evra assisted, let alone the midfielders Giggs, Scholes and others
As a result, Manchester United's attack was blocked again.
Zanetti used a clean tackle to pass the ball from Scholes to Sneijder, who took two steps and then passed the ball forward.
The ball was not passed to Milito and Eto'o, because the two of them consciously spread the ball to both sides, taking away the two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic.
Sneijder passed the ball to Lu Wenbin who cut in from the wing.
Lu Wenbin cut inside and ran into the middle, chasing the ball passed by Sneijder between Ferdinand and Vidic.
Carrick behind him tried desperately to chase back, but not only did he fail to shorten the distance, but the distance between him and Lu Wenbin became farther and farther.
The speed gap between the two sides is too big.
With Lu Wenbin's speed, even if he didn't play football, he would still be able to participate in the Olympic 100m sprint final and might even win a medal.
Ferdinand was first deceived by Eto'o's movement. When he found Lu Wenbin cutting inside and rushing towards the middle, Sneijder passed the ball to Lu Wenbin at the right time. Ferdinand's face changed drastically and he left Eto'o and rushed towards Lu Wenbin, but it was too late.
Lu Wenbin touched the ball before Ferdinand, moved forward directly, accelerated again, and passed by Ferdinand who was rushing sideways to hit him, creating a one-on-one situation.
The rest is easy.
When approaching the penalty area line, facing Van der Sar who had entered the penalty area, Lu Wenbin directly made a lob shot.
Van der Sar jumped up helplessly and stretched out his hand, but touched nothing. Then he could only turn his head and watch the ball go into the net.
Lu Wenbin rarely misses a one-on-one shot.
Now that his judgment has risen to 17 points, Lu Wenbin is more accurate in choosing the timing and route of shooting, so he is less likely to miss.
The moment Lu Wenbin's lob shot fell into the net, all the Inter Milan fans in the stands screamed and roared like crazy.
Moratti in the VIP box also raised his arms and cheered, celebrating like an ordinary Inter Milan fan.
After waiting for so many years and spending so much money, he finally saw hope of winning the Champions League trophy.
Lu Wenbin's goal gave Inter Milan a 2-0 lead over Manchester United.
At this time, the time has come to the 73rd minute, and there are only about 20 minutes left before the end of regular game time.
Lu Wenbin's goal sealed the victory.
After the game resumed, Manchester United could no longer remain calm.
Even Ferguson stood up and stood on the sidelines to supervise the game and asked Manchester United to strengthen its attack.
We have no choice but to attack.
We were two goals behind and if we didn’t attack we would die.
So, in the last 20 minutes, the entire Manchester United team pressed forward and launched a violent attack on Inter Milan.
Even if the defense is empty, it doesn't matter.
But Mourinho will naturally not just sit there and watch.
He also made a substitution, replacing Milito with Cambiasso and playing as a double defensive midfielder.
The double defensive midfielder combination of Zanetti and Cambiasso can raise the protection of Inter Milan's back line to a higher level.
In addition, Lu Wenbin also replaced Samuel, who had received a yellow card for a foul, with Cordoba to eliminate the hidden danger.
In the end, even Lu Wenbin, Sneijder, Stankovic and others were asked by Lu Wenbin to return to the back line to participate in the defense.
Mourinho once again used his best defensive formation, the bus.
Amid the boos from Manchester United fans and the cheers from Inter Milan fans, Inter Milan held on to the 2-0 lead until the end.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan defeated the Premier League champion Manchester United 2-0 at Wembley Stadium and won the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League! (Seeking monthly tickets)
