At 23:15 Beijing time on December 31, the 19th round of La Liga, the Spaniard will challenge Valencia away, because of Wu Lei, so this game has also received everyone's attention. At the same time, this contest is also a New Year's Eve feast! The game will be played from 2021 to 2022, and Wu Lei will hit the first start in 68 days.
The last time he made his debut in La Liga, Wu Lei went back to October 24, 2021. At that time, in the 10th round of La Liga, espanyol challenged Elche away, in the starting lineup, De Thomas suddenly advanced, Wu Lei and Embarba, Melendo dragged behind, Bower scored the first goal for Elche, with Moranes World Wave and De Thomas volleying from a small angle, espanyol scored 2 goals in 2 minutes to complete the counterattack, but in the 83rd minute, espanyol was tragically drawn. In that game, Wu Lei's performance was very average, he was replaced at half-time, and since then he has been beaten into the cold palace by coach Moreno, at least in La Liga, it is true, Wu Lei has not appeared in the starting lineup again.
From October 24, 2021 to December 31, 2021, 68 days apart, Wu Lei has been serving as a substitute in La Liga, because there are few opportunities to play, and in the German transfer market, Wu Lei's value has also shrunk significantly, from a maximum of 10 million euros to 2.5 million euros today!
Finally, on the last day of 2021, for Wu Lei, he has 2 big advantages to impact another La Liga start.
1, the Spaniards are infected and cannot appear, while Wu Lei is not on the list of infections.
2, in the Middle of this month's Copa del Rey, Wu Lei has broken the club's 342-day goal drought in all competitions.
This round of away challenges to Valencia will be the last game of 2021 for Espanyol, and the same is true for Wu Lei, so after this La Liga match, Wu Lei's 2021 report card will also be released. Previously, in 2021, Wu Lei did not score in La Liga, and all competitions combined only scored 2 goals for Espanyol, but in the Chinese men's national football team, Wu Lei performed well.
