Seven Crowns

In addition to Pato's extraordinary performance and Lu Wenbin's free kick being restricted, Mourinho's staying power for the Champions League is also one of the reasons for the Milan Derby loss to the rival.

In the Milan Derby, Lucio, Maicon, Cambiasso, Eto'o and others were not there, not even a substitute, just to save energy for the quarter-finals of the Champions League three days later.

Although the opponent in the quarter-finals was Tottenham Hotspur, who had already played in the group stage, Mourinho did not take it lightly.

In the first round of the group stage, Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham, and Tottenham 3-3 Inter Milan in the second round. Inter Milan only won and drew one, and the total score was only one more goal. It was quite thrilling to win.

Although Lu Wenbin's free kick skill has greatly increased now, Mourinho dare not underestimate the enemy.

This season, Moratti invested more than 100 million euros in a gamble to introduce Lu Wenbin, not to dominate the domestic arena, but to win the Champions League.

With Moratti's transfer fee, annual salary, and bonus investment for Lu Wenbin, it would be a failure for Mourinho not to lead his team to win the Champions League this season.

Therefore, he did not send all the main players in the last Milan Derby. In this Champions League quarter-finals, he faced the opponent Tottenham in the group stage.

The league has always maintained a point advantage, and it doesn't matter if you lose one or two games, but the Champions League must advance to the final and win the championship.

On April 5th, at 20:45 in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, the first round of the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals match between Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur at home officially began.

Lu Wenbin's current free kick scoring rate is indeed too scary. Almost all opponents are racking their brains to think about how to reduce the number of free kicks Lu Wenbin sends at the front of the penalty area.

The last Milan derby gave Tottenham a good reference.

Therefore, in this game, the Tottenham team tried to imitate the example. They wanted to imitate AC Milan's defensive line ahead of time and fouled Lu Wenbin near the halfway line.

However, they did not expect that the defensive strength of Tottenham and AC Milan is not at the same level.

The luxurious defense line composed of Nesta, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Van Bommel and Silva is much stronger than Tottenham.

Coupled with the overall defensive understanding rooted in the DNA of the Italian team, it is possible to limit Lu Wenbin's free kicks like the Milan derby.

and,

The Milan Derby was the national team match day before, and there were more than ten days. AC Milan coach Allegri had relatively plenty of time to perfect this temporary tactic.

As for the Tottenham team, there are only two days after the end of the Milan derby, and they have to fly to Italy one day in advance, so there is not much time to train temporary new defensive tactics.

Without the defensive strength of AC Milan, we have to learn from AC Milan to advance the defense.

The consequence is that the back line lacks tacit understanding, and the empty defense area is completely overwhelmed by Lu Wenbin, who runs off the ball and has full speed, with anti-offside.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Sneijder took the ball in the backcourt and made a through kick. Lu Wenbin took advantage of Tottenham's backline's incomprehension to reverse offside in the midfield and caught the ball behind the backline.

After the anti-offside is successful, the next step is relatively simple.

Lu Wenbin went to the meeting alone with the ball. With full speed and dribbling, Lu Wenbin's combined ball speed was not much slower than empty running. Several defenders of Tottenham chased back desperately and failed to catch up with Lu Wenbin.

Near the top of the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper Gomez, Lu Wenbin faked a shot and knocked the nervous Gomez down.

Then, Lu Wenbin dunked the ball to the side, followed up with the other foot and pushed the ball, and the ball rolled past Gomez and into the goal.

Until then, the Tottenham defender who was desperately chasing back ran to the penalty area line, but he could only watch the ball roll into the goal in despair.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Tottenham's advanced defense was pierced by Lu Wenbin with a simple anti-offside.

Inter Milan led Tottenham 1-0, and the Inter fans in the stands suddenly cheered enthusiastically.

The commentators in the commentary booth also shook their heads and sighed, commenting that the Tottenham team's trick of learning from AC Milan by imitating cats and tigers was a failure.

In the next game in the first half, as everyone expected, Tottenham was completely blown away by Inter Milan.

Not long after Lu Wenbin scored the first goal, in the 9th minute, Eto'o followed suit and received a pass from Stankovic to score Inter Milan's second goal.

In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin got another chance to shoot, but this time goalkeeper Gomez played well and saved Lu Wenbin's single-handed ball.

However, this cannot make up for Tottenham's tactical failure.

In the 31st minute, Lu Wenbin suddenly started the anti-offside again and succeeded. Sneijder, who cooperated tacitly, passed the ball to the back of Tottenham's defense line with a long pass, allowing Lu Wenbin to receive the ball smoothly in the frontcourt.

The next thing was simple. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Lu Wenbin directly hit a lob shot.

The ball fell into the goal accurately, Lu Wenbin scored twice, and Inter Milan led 3-0.

In the 43rd minute, just before the end of the first half, Lu Wenbin did not counter-offside this time, but because Tottenham’s backcourt was too empty, he directly used a long-distance waving ball to eat Tottenham’s defense and formed a single-handed re-start. Scored a goal.

In the first half alone, Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick and Inter Milan led 4-0 with four goals.

Tottenham Hotspur, who were almost inseparable from Inter Milan in the group stage, were beaten by Lu Wenbin's Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The fast winger Ma Bell, who has high hopes, did not perform well in this game.

After all, Bell's strength is still far behind Lu Wenbin.

It's okay to perform beyond normal in one or two games, but it's impossible to score goals like Lu Wenbin almost every game.

At half-time, the Tottenham manager admitted the failure of his tactics and returned to Tottenham's normal formation for the second half.

After returning to their familiar formation, Tottenham played a lot better, and in the second half, center Crouch scored a header from a corner kick.

However, Tottenham scored one goal, but Inter Milan, who played at home, scored two more goals in the second half.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Sneijder scored a long shot from outside the penalty area.

In the 88th minute, Lu Wenbin got a free kick in a good position, and then turned on a special skill to send the ball directly into the goal.

Lu Wenbin once again staged a big four in the Champions League.

In the end, Inter Milan bloodbathed Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 at home, making the second round of the game basically lose suspense.

After the game, Lu Wenbin's big four and Tottenham's tactical failure became the focus of media discussion.

It seems that how to restrict Lu Wenbin is still a worldwide football problem! (seeking a monthly ticket)
