In a focus battle in the 15th round of La Liga that ended in the early morning of November 29, Beijing time, the Spaniard defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 at home. Wu Lei, who came on as a substitute in the 78th minute of the game, once again missed a great one-handed opportunity.
This scene occurred 4 minutes after Wu Lei's debut, when Spain international "oil head brother" De Thomas sent a precise sticker for Wu Lei, who also got rid of the entanglement of Real Sociedad defenders with his excellent running position and speed. But unfortunately, Wu Lei did not choose to shoot directly after getting the ball, but took a step, but it was this step that was big, which directly led to the ball being confiscated by the Real Sociedad goalkeeper who attacked. After missing a single knife, Wu Lei gave a thumbs up to De Thomas with apologies.
After the game, it was no accident that the Spanish media criticized Wu Lei. The daily sports newspaper, a well-known local media in Barcelona, gave Wu Lei the lowest 4 points in the whole team, and the daily sports newspaper commented on Wu Lei: "This Chinese striker once had a chance to kill the game, he received a wonderful pass from De Thomas, but stopped the ball too far, he obviously did not play at his own level. Another Spanish media, "As" also said that Wu Lei's wasting a one-knife opportunity with the ball this time was very bad.
Although Wu Lei wasted a single knife again and has not scored any goals this season, coach Moreno still gave encouragement to Wu Lei at the post-match press conference and said that he would continue to trust the "national football brother". The Espanyol manager said: "We will continue to trust Wu Lei! It's a shame he didn't score the ball, but he has been able to create chances through his running position and speed, and he can really help the team. Maybe it does lack some precision in front of the goal, but you still have to settle down and regain confidence, and you can still score on the next attempt. ”
Three days later, Espanyol will usher in the Copa del Rey tournament, and Wu Lei is expected to start. Hopefully, facing weaker opponents, Wu Lei can regain his shooting target and return the manager's continued support for himself through goals.
