Chapter 460 Barcelona
After the match between Inter Milan and Tottenham, all the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season were also released, namely Inter Milan, Schalke 04, Manchester United and Barcelona.
There will be no separate draw for the semi-finals of this season. The draw for the quarter-finals determines the situation of the semi-finals.
Therefore, Inter Milan’s semi-final opponent is Barcelona, which beat Shakhtar Donetsk 6-1 in two rounds.
Obviously, this is a very strong opponent.
However, the first round of the semi-finals will go to the end of April, and Inter Milan still has to play domestic matches first.
On April 16, in the 33rd round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Parma away.
As of the first 32 rounds, Inter Milan is 8 points ahead of second place AC Milan, the lead is still relatively large.
In addition, the next game is the Coppa Italia semi-final against Rome, so this away game against Parma Inter Milan also has a rotation to stay for the next game.
Half of the bench came up and it was another away game. Inter Milan played more difficult in this game.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin still maintained his super-high scoring efficiency. Although there was no free kick in this game, he scored twice through sports and a penalty, helping Inter Milan’s 2-2 away draw with Parma. , Retreat all over.
Three days after the league, it was the semi-final of the Coppa Italia with Rome.
Now Inter Milan has entered the semi-finals in the UEFA Champions League and the Coppa Italia, and has always been the leader in the league. Moratti and Mourinho both want to lead Inter Milan to complete the feat of Italy’s first triple crown.
Therefore, Mourinho attaches great importance to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia against Roma and does his best.
The format of the Coppa Italia is a bit strange. Before the semi-finals, it is always a game, but in the semi-finals, it takes two rounds, just like the Champions League.
In the first round of the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia this season, Inter Milan challenged Roma away, and in the second round they returned to the home court. They had a certain advantage on the schedule.
However, Mourinho still dare not care.
At present, the Roma team has been eliminated in the Champions League, the league is hopeless, and even the European qualification is dangerous.
The Coppa Italia is also a way out for the Roma team to compete for European qualifications.
If you can win the championship, you can participate in the Europa League next season.
Therefore, the away game in the first round of the Coppa Italia semi-final will not be easy.
At 21 o’clock in the evening on April 19, with the referee’s whistle, the first round of the 2010/2011 Coppa Italia semi-final match between Rome and Inter Milan officially began at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
Because of participating in the Qatar Asian Cup, Lu Wenbin was absent from the first two rounds of the Coppa Italia and did not participate. Now this is his first Coppa Italia match.
The Roma team naturally studied and deployed Lu Wenbin carefully, not only to curb Lu Wenbin’s breakthrough shots, but also to reduce the number of free kicks he takes.
Relatively speaking, the Roma team has much more time for targeted training than Tottenham.
Therefore, in this game, the Roma team’s tactical performance with reference to AC Milan’s defense advancement is much better than Tottenham.
In the 13th minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball to prepare to break through and was knocked down, but the place where the Roma team fouled was 36 and 7 meters away from the goal.
Although Lu Wenbin turned on the system skills, although the free kick taken by the system skills was within the range of the goal frame, he was finally thrown out by goalkeeper Lobonte because of the distance.
As for the anti-offside, Roma also played very carefully, and the goalkeeper Robonte from time to time expanded the range of attack, grabbing Sneijder or Stankovic’s through ball before Lu Wenbin to destroy the clearance.
In the end, after the whole game, Lu Wenbin only used his dribbling technique to score a long shot outside the penalty area.
However, Lu Wenbin’s passing and assisting ability is also very good.
After discovering that the Roma team put most of their energy on defending him, Lu Wenbin also assisted Eto’o through the pass organization to score another Inter Milan goal.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 1-2, and Inter Milan won the first round with Lu Wenbin’s pass and shot.
Although the Roma team learned AC Milan’s defensive tactics and achieved certain results, they still failed to completely stop Lu Wenbin.
This also fully proved Lu Wenbin’s ability and value.
The world’s No. 1 superstar is really well-deserved, and it can’t be prevented no matter how much.
Although it was a bit risky to win, it was eventually won. Moreover, it was won on the away game.
Back at home in the second round, Inter Milan’s chance of qualifying for the Coppa Italia final is definitely higher than that of Roma.
After the match against Roma, on April 23, in the 34th round of Serie A, Inter Milan played against Lazio at home.
Lazio also used the defensive line to defend Lu Wenbin in advance.
However, this defense is a double-edged sword.
Used well, like AC Milan and Roma, the free kick restriction on Lu Wenbin does have some effect.
But if it is not used well, like Tottenham, it will give Lu Wenbin more anti-offside and frontcourt sprint space.
In this game, Lazio’s tactics were not used well.
In just the first 10 minutes, Lu Wenbin received Stankovic’s through offside and successfully shot an empty goal outside the penalty area.
Lu Wenbin scored the first goal, Inter Milan 1-0 Lazio.
In the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin made a pass from the bottom and Eto’o competed for the top in the middle. The ball was saved by the Lazio goalkeeper, but Sneijder, who rushed up, stabbed the ball into the goal.
Inter Milan 2-0.
In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin succeeded in turning offside again, receiving a pass from Sneijder behind Lazio’s defense, and then hitting a far corner in the penalty area.
The ball hits the net, and the Lazio goalkeeper can’t handle it.
Before the first half was over, Inter Milan took a 3-0 lead.
Lazio did not succeed in learning AC Milan’s tactics Like Tottenham, they were blown up by Lu Wenbin.
After 15 minutes of the intermission, the two sides changed sides to fight again. The Lazio coach also admitted his tactical failure, allowing his players to withdraw from the defensive line, or honestly use the bus and iron barrels to defend, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
As for Inter Milan, because the next game is the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
Therefore, starting from the 60th minute, Mourinho began to make substitutions one after another, consuming all three substitutions, and even Lu Wenbin was replaced in the 76th minute.
However, before being replaced, Lu Wenbin finally won a free kick in a good position, and activated the system skills to kick the ball into the goal, completing the hat trick.
After Lu Wenbin changed, Lazio scored a counter-attack goal in the 88th minute.
In the end, Inter Milan beat Lazio 4-1 at home, continuing to lead the Serie A standings.
