The moment the referee blew the final whistle, Massimo Moratti, who was over 60 years old and was standing in the VIP box of the stadium, suddenly clenched his fists, raised his head and yelled with all his strength, scaring the other guests watching the game around him.
But then, everyone understood Moratti's crazy behavior.
The story of Moratti and Inter Milan is too famous.
From 1995 to last year, Moratti invested huge transfer funds every year to introduce superstar players in the hope of winning the Champions League again, but he never succeeded.
After waiting for so many years, Moratti's gamble of more than 100 million euros last summer finally paid off today. It is no wonder that Moratti made such a move.
This is Inter Milan's first Champions League title in 46 years since winning the Champions League in 1965.
With an assist and a goal in the final, Lu Wenbin helped Moratti win the Champions League trophy that he had been dreaming of for many years!
With five consecutive league titles and a Champions League title, Moratti can loudly declare that he has caught up with his father's achievements and ushered in the glorious second international era.
If they can win the Italian Cup later, complete the treble and become the first Italian team to win the treble, then Moratti's achievement will undoubtedly be unique in Italy and even surpass that of his father.
Of course, that was a few days later and now, all Inter Milan people just wanted to celebrate the championship.
Lu Wenbin was constantly hugged by his teammates. Zanetti even hugged Lu Wenbin and cried, saying thank you repeatedly.
After sticking to Inter Milan for so many years, Zanetti has actually always been coveting the Champions League trophy!
Today, I finally got what I wanted!
On the road to the championship, although everyone on the team played a role, it was obvious that Lu Wenbin played the most obvious and greatest role.
Without Lu Wenbin, I'm afraid Inter Milan will still not win the Champions League as usual.
At least, the two-legged semi-final match against Barcelona will definitely not be easy.
In the stands, some old fans who had witnessed Inter Milan's last Champions League win were also in tears.
Inter Milan has waited too long for the Champions League.
Compared with the Inter Milan players, fans and chairman who were crying with joy, everyone at Manchester United seemed a little helpless.
Lu Wenbin scored a goal and made an assist in this game, and both goals were directly related to Lu Wenbin.
At Wembley Stadium, with the advantage of half a home field, if the opponent did not have a superstar like Lu Wenbin, Manchester United might have a chance to win the championship again.
Unfortunately, Lu Wenbin was so strong that he became the key to the victory or defeat of the game.
Looking at Lu Wenbin being surrounded and celebrated by his teammates on the field, Ferguson also had the idea of recruiting Lu Wenbin to his team.
Although Lu Wenbin's transfer fee is very expensive, and his salary, bonus, and image rights are all very high, the team's influence, popularity, fame, commercial value, and the Chinese market behind it that Lu Wenbin's transfer has brought are also impressive.
For example, Inter Milan spent 100 million in liquidated damages last year to introduce Lu Wenbin, signing him for three years.
Judging from Lu Wenbin's performance, Inter Milan definitely doesn't want to let him go.
If any club wants to buy Lu Wenbin this summer, they can only take him away with a penalty fee.
Even so, the 150 million euro penalty, plus the increased revenue from home ticket sales, is enough to offset Moratti's 100 million euro transfer fee and annual salary, bonus expenses, etc.
In other words, Inter Milan won the Champions League title for free.
If Inter Milan defeats Palermo and wins the treble next, even this treble will be a lucky win.
Not to mention getting it for free, even if you really spent more than 100 million euros in exchange for a Champions League and a treble, it would definitely be a huge bargain, and there would be many people rushing to do it.
How much fame and economic benefits can the Champions League and the Treble bring to the club
Moratti definitely made a big profit from this gamble.
Ferguson feels that Manchester United can also take a big gamble!
In addition to Ferguson on the sidelines, the owners of major European clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester City, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, etc., have become more determined to bring in Lu Wenbin.
Of course, Ferguson is definitely much more rational than other teams.
Because he has won both the Champions League trophy and the treble.
Although it is not uncommon, it is definitely not as urgent as others.
Other clubs, especially Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, which have never won the Champions League, or Real Madrid, which wants to win the Champions League for the tenth time, are all determined to win Lu Wenbin.
I believe there will be a lot of competition in the transfer market after the end of the season.
Lu Wenbin's performance is so stable, unlike superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho who have ups and downs.
Since Lu Wenbin's debut, his strength and performance on the field have been steadily increasing.
His abilities are becoming more and more comprehensive, his goals are increasing, and his goal efficiency is getting higher and higher. The key is that Lu Wenbin still maintains the record of winning the championship in any competition he participates in.
This is so tempting.
Even those clubs that are not very well-funded are thinking about whether to take a gamble!
At least, judging from the example of Inter Milan, investing huge sums of money to introduce Lu Wenbin will not result in a loss, but a huge profit.
As for those wealthy clubs, they are even more determined to win.
Even in the Russian league, there are clubs that are ambitious to take Lu Wenbin away directly with the penalty clause and offer him a sky-high annual salary.
Of course, Lu Wenbin would not go to Russia. He had already asked Mendes to reject the offer so as to avoid wasting time on him.
Not to mention that his tasks in the five major leagues have not been completed yet, even if he wants to retire after completing them, it is unlikely that he will go to Russia.
…
On the field, Inter Milan's players were still interacting and celebrating with the fans, and the commentators were still congratulating Inter Milan and recounting Lu Wenbin's great achievements.
This season, Lu Wenbin has scored more than 20 goals in the Champions League.
In 13 Champions League games, Lu Wenbin scored 23 goals. Although not as much as the 26 goals of last season, the opponents Inter Milan faced this season are much stronger than those Hoffenheim faced last season.
Being able to exceed the 20-goal mark under such circumstances shows how strong Lu Wenbin is.
A commentator who admires Lu Wenbin even shouted the slogan "Whoever gets Lu Wenbin gets the Champions League."
Although this is only Lu Wenbin's second Champions League title, judging from his performance, there is nothing wrong with this slogan.
After celebrating on the court for a while, everyone went back to the locker room to change clothes and then came out to receive the awards.
After Manchester United's runner-up medals were awarded first, it was Inter Milan's turn.
Amid the applause of the fans and the cheers and screams of Inter Milan fans, Zanetti lifted the 2010/2011 Champions League trophy on behalf of Inter Milan.
After 46 years, Inter Milan finally stands at the top of Europe again!
Massimo Moratti finally fulfilled his dream of the great international era! (asking for monthly tickets)
