Chapter 459: Champions League Final Four

Just four days after the 6-1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, it is the 32nd round of Serie A.

From now until the end of the season, as long as the Champions League and Coppa Italia can advance to the final, Inter Milan will basically face a situation of two matches a week and three fronts.

Therefore, in the 32nd round of Serie A match between Inter Milan and Chievo on April 9, Mourinho rotated most of the players, and full-back Yu Nagatomo was given the first chance to start.

However, Lu Wenbin, who has no worries about physical fitness, is still the main force that cannot be beaten.

Although some players have been rotated, resulting in a slight decline in the team's strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, as long as Lu Wenbin is there, Inter Milan will not be short of goals.

In this game, Chievo were quite careful about the place of foul and easily did not give Inter Milan a free kick from the edge of the forbidden zone.

Lu Wenbin was also a little unlucky, and it was not until the 42nd minute of the first half that he got a free kick opportunity with a good position.

As a result, the system's free-kick went just over the crossbar and missed the woodwork.

Later, because of the skill cooldown time, the two more free kick opportunities obtained could only be punished by Lu Wenbin himself, and then one was flown and the other was saved by the goalkeeper.

In this game, Lu Wenbin did not score a free kick.

However, in the case of Lu Wenbin's free kick throw, the Chievo team's ability to break through and defend against Lu Wenbin is also declining.

In the case of not daring to foul easily, it is more difficult to defend Lu Wenbin's full physique, dribbling, and speed.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Lu Wenbin retreated to take the ball by himself, and after passing three people, he shot into the far corner.

Inter Milan 1-0.

In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin pulled the side to take away a defender and two defenders from Chievo, Coutinho broke through the middle of the side, Milito entered the forbidden area from the side, and shot from a small angle.

Inter Milan 2-0 Chievo.

In the 53rd minute of the second half, Lu Wenbin took the ball in front of the court and continued to break through to attract the siege of four defenders of Chievo, but Lu Wenbin passed the ball out, and Coutinho received the ball at the top of the arc in the middle of the big ban zone and scored a long shot.

Inter Milan 3-0 Chievo.

In the 74th minute, Inter Milan won a corner kick, and Lu Wenbin shook off the players who marked him through agile off-ball running in the forbidden area, grabbed the landing point and shook his head to attack the goal.

The ball drills into the goal from above the goalkeeper's arm.

Lu Wenbin scored two shots and one pass to help Inter Milan lead Chievo 4-0.

After taking a 4-0 lead, Lu Wenbin was also replaced by Mourinho.

In the next game, Inter Milan will travel to England and play Tottenham Hotspur in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Although the 6-1 victory in the first leg made it almost no problem to advance, Mourinho will not be negligent and easily let his team lose away to their opponents.

Four days later, on April 13, at the White Hart Lane stadium in London, with the referee's whistle, the second leg of the 2010/2011 Champions League quarter-finals Tottenham Hotspur home to Inter Milan officially began.

Despite losing 6-1 in the first leg and basically having no hope of qualifying, Tottenham fans still cheered for the home team very hard, and the Tottenham players also launched a ferocious attack from the first minute at home.

They are fighting for dignity.

In the sixth minute, Tottenham really took advantage of Inter's lack of foothold to score, and Luka Modric scored a beautiful long-range shot from outside the forbidden area.

However, it was not long before the experienced Inter defence settled down and Tottenham were largely left with no further decent chances.

On the offensive side, although Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito and other main players did not play, Lu Wenbin was partnered with Coutinho and substitute striker Pandev.

But as long as Lu Wenbin is on the field, Inter Milan's attack is just as threatening.

In particular, Lu Wenbin's free kick was desperate.

Less than 10 minutes after Tottenham's goal, in the 14th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through himself and caused a foul on a Tottenham player and got a well-placed free kick opportunity.

Then, amid the cheers of thousands of away Inter fans, Lu Wenbin, who turned on the special skills of the system, kicked the ball into the Tottenham goal.

Lu Wenbin scored another free-kick to open the scoring for Inter Milan and equalize the scores, making it 1-1.

Subsequently, Lu Wenbin not only broke through with the ball from time to time, but also used his full value vision and continuous passing assists to harass the Tottenham Hotspur backline.

In the 29th minute, Lu Wenbin picked a pass in the forbidden area, but Pan Dev hit the plane with a kick and wasted a second pass from Lu Wenbin.

In the 41st minute, Lu Wenbin began to break through after winning the ball in the midfield, attracting the attention of many Tottenham defenders.

As a result, Lu Wenbin suddenly made an unexpected diagonal pass in the process of breaking through, which caught all the opponent's players off guard.

McConn cut in from the wing, received Lu Wenbin's diagonal straight plug, and hit the goal in the ribs of the big no-no.

Inter Milan took the lead before half-time as Tottenham went into the break with a 2-1 deficit.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Inter Milan's defence, which has rotated a lot of players, has indeed dropped in strength.

In the 57th minute, Bale used his speed to break through McCann's defense on the wing and cross from the bottom, Pavlyuchenko fought for the top in the middle, and Tottenham equalised again.

Bale's assist and Pavlyuchenko's goal reignited the excitement at White Hart Lane, with fans yelling for a comeback win over Inter.

Even if you know that you can't qualify, you can beat your opponent at home and win.

However, it didn't take long for Lu Wenbin to score again to give Inter Milan the lead.

In the 65th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through with the ball in the front court and was surrounded by three opponents, but Coutinho was not far away.

So, Lu Wenbin first passed the ball over, distracting the attention of the Tottenham defender, and then stepped forward without the ball, temporarily shook off the defender, and pointed in front of him.

Although Coutinho is not the main force and is not very familiar with Lu Wenbin, his passing ability is still good.

Seeing Lu Wenbin step forward and point in front of him, Coutinho didn't stop the ball, and directly pushed the ball to the route where Lu Wenbin was running: this is a wall-hitting cooperation.

Lu Wenbin and Philippe Coutinho penetrated the Tottenham defence with a wall link-up, and faced the last centre-back, Dawson, who was denied him with a surprise Marseille maneuver.

After passing Dawson, Lu Wenbin has crossed the no-go zone, and only goalkeeper Gomez is left in front of him.

The rest is simple.

Without waiting for the other players to return to the defense, Lu Wenbin volleyed and kicked the ball to the far corner.

Gomez couldn't make a save and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Lu Wenbin scored twice to help Inter Milan continue to lead 3-2.

Seeing that the score was ahead and advancing to the semi-finals was a foregone conclusion, Mourinho replaced Lu Wenbin in the 73rd minute.

In the following period, neither side was able to score again.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

With Lu Wenbin's two shots and one pass, Inter Milan defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 away and 9-3 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals of the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League. (Ask for a commuter pass)
