Chapter 471 - Advance to the Italian Cup Final (6/20 for Yangcheng Cake Silver League)
After Lu Wenbin's goal helped Inter Milan lead Roma 2-0 at home and 4-1 over two legs, the Inter fans in the stadium burst into earth-shattering cheers.
This score basically means that Inter Milan's qualification for the Coppa Italia final is stable.
Inter Milan are one step closer to the treble.
Of course, the game isn't over yet.
After trailing by three goals on aggregate, Roma were really cornered.
They launched ferocious attacks and actually pulled a point back in the 43rd minute with a goal from De Rossi.
The aggregate score is 4-2, with Roma still two goals behind.
If Roma can level on aggregate, then Roma will beat Inter Milan on away goals.
Therefore, after a 15-minute break, Roma launched another frantic attack at the beginning of the second half.
However, the frenzied attack in the final stages of the first half was scored by them, but that doesn't mean they can score all the time, and they won't be scored by their opponents.
Attacking in a big way, there is definitely a danger of emptiness in the rear.
Lu Wenbin's omnipotence is not an ornament.
In the 54th minute, Samuel scrambled to force Totti to play the ball, but was kicked out of the forbidden area by vice-captain Córdoba and fell to the feet of midfielder Biabiani.
Inter Milan counter-attacked.
Biabiani didn't waste time at all, and before the Roma players could press up, he kicked the ball in front of Lu Wenbin.
Although the ball was a bit big, Lu Wenbin was too fast, he grabbed the ball before Juan and Pizarro, and there was only one centre-back Burdisso in front of him.
Lu Wenbin did not hesitate, did not pass the ball to Milito and Eto'o, and did not break through Burdisso with the ball.
He didn't stop the ball after receiving a pass from Biabiani not far in front of the centre circle, and fired a long-range shot that flew into the air and flew past Burdisso towards the Roma goal.
It was the attack of the Roma team just now, and the Roman goalkeeper Doni stood a little forward, standing in the forbidden area, and Lu Wenbin observed Doni's position before receiving the ball.
This is the benefit of his full vision stat.
Everyone originally thought that Lu Wenbin would receive the ball and break through Burdisso or split the side to pose a threat to Milito and Eto'o.
No one expected that Lu Wenbin didn't stop the ball, and directly kicked the ball towards the goal of the Roma team with a big kick.
And it hasn't been kicked off yet, looking at the direction of the ball's flight, it's really the direction of the Roma goal.
Playing a counter-attack against Inter Milan cutting off Totti's ball, Doni didn't care at first. After all, no matter how much you fight back, there must be a process.
He just stared at the ball and slowly retreated, not rushing back to the goal line.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin didn't even stop the ball, and suddenly shot at the position just past the halfway.
It wasn't until he saw the ball flying in the air towards the goal that Dhoni suddenly panicked.
He quickly turned around and ran back, observing where the ball landed and adjusting the direction of his run as he ran.
However, the ball was much faster than him. Even though he was closer to the goal line, the ball flew almost with him in front of goal and towards the woodwork.
Dhoni hadn't stepped back to the goalline yet, so he could only raise his hand as hard as he could as he could as he flew inside the goal, hoping to lift the fallen ball over the crossbar with his palm.
However, after all, the preparation was not sufficient, and although Dhoni touched the ball, he was unable to stop it.
The ball rubbed on his fingertips before grazing the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net with Doni.
In an instant, the entire Meazza Stadium was boiling.
“Gooooooooooooooooooal……”
"World Wave, World Wave, Lu scored an ultra-long-distance World Wave of about 50 meters!"
"Doni made a mistake, in the face of Lou's superb archery, he actually stood in the front!"
Amid the cheers of Inter players and fans, many Roma fans closed their eyes in despair.
Lu Wenbin scored a brace, Inter Milan 3-1 at home, 5-2 on aggregate ahead of Roma, the gap between the two sides once again widened to 3 goals, and it was really difficult for the Roma team to advance.
After the restart, Roma naturally continued their desperate attack, but Mourinho did not give them a chance.
He not only replaced Zanetti with fresh force Cambiaso, but also replaced Samuel Eto'o with Mariga, a third substitute in the central midfield position, and switched to a double midfield to strengthen the defence.
Roma's attacks were always intercepted by Cambiasso and Mariga.
Even if it can't be stopped, there are still fierce players such as McConn, Samuel, and Córdoba behind them, and the Roma team has been unable to open up the situation and score goals.
Not only that, but they were often counter-attacked by Inter. Even if they can't fight back, they will use their passes to push the Roma formation back, so that they can't attack.
In the 77th minute, Inter Milan broke the ball to counterattack, although it didn't work out in the end, but it also forced the whole Roma team to retreat and defend Inter Milan's attack.
Lu Wenbin was in the midfield more than 30 meters away from the Roma team's goal, and Stankovic, Biabiani, Zanetti, and Milito kept falling to the ground, looking for opportunities to attack.
However, the quick counter-attack just now has failed, and Inter can only retreat and keep passing the ball backwards to try to tear apart the Roma defence.
Now it's a positional warfare offensive.
The Roma team was waiting for it, and most of the teams retreated, and for a while, Lu Wenbin couldn't find a place to start.
Moreover, Pizarro, the defender of the Roma team, who has been following him, is constantly trying to grab the ball.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin's off-ball running and dribbling ability is too high, and he can always find opportunities to receive the ball from his teammates, then protect the ball and pass the ball to where he wants to pass, Pizarro has never been able to find a chance to get his feet.
As for tackles, not many teams dare to tackle in the face of Lu Wenbin now, and even against other players in Inter Milan, they rarely dare to tackle.
Lu Wenbin's free kick was too threatening.
This is one of the reasons why the number of free kick goals has decreased recently.
However, on the contrary, the defensive pressure faced by Lu Wenbin is also much lower.
So, when Lu Wenbin once again took the ball with his back to Pizarro and made another move to raise his foot to pass to Stankovic, Pizarro's defense was relaxed.
But Lu Wenbin did not pass the ball out, but suddenly knocked his heel and knocked the ball past Pizarro, and Lu Wenbin went around the other side of Pizarro's body, received the ball and completed the turn: the heel knocked the ball and the ball was divided.
Lu Wenbin's move was too sudden, and Pizarro was suddenly passed away, leaving the Roma backline unprepared.
Before they could throw Milito to defend Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin had already taken a long shot from outside the forbidden area.
The ball arced through the air, bypassing the saving goalkeeper Doni and drilling into the corner of the net against the underside of the crossbar.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick and led Inter Milan to a 4-1 home lead, 6-2 on aggregate.
With such a big score, there are only more than ten minutes left in the game, and the Roma team is completely out of play.
Even the captain, Totti, bowed his head in frustration.
Lu Wenbin, who scored a hat-trick and an assist, was replaced by Jose Mourinho in preparation for the next league title race.
After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and Inter Milan qualified for the final of the 2010/2011 Coppa Italia with a 2-1 away win over the first leg, a 4-1 home win over the second leg and a 6-2 win over the two legs.
Inter Milan are one step closer to the treble. (Ask for a commuter pass)
