In the early morning of January 1, Beijing time, the 19th round of La Liga ended a focus battle, and the Spaniard, who has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, reversed Valencia 2-1 and rose to the 9th place in the table.
In the first half, the two teams exchanged white rolls, and YiBian suddenly changed the situation on the battlefield. In the 51st minute, Valencia won a corner kick and Eder Costa assisted on Aldrette's goal and Espanyol trailed 1-0.
In the face of adversity, Espanyol coach Moreno chose to give it a go, and spent the rest of the day using up five consecutive places, puado, Di Mata and 20-year-old rising star Carreras came on the field, playing a 4-forward formation.
In the 81st minute, Carreras came on and hit the box on his first touch, causing Hugo Douro to foul and create a penalty for the Spaniard, and the opponent also received a second yellow card, 2 yellows and 1 red and was sent off.
De Thomas then hit a penalty and the Spaniard equalised and gained a numerical advantage.
In the 88th minute, Kareiras crossed from the right and Puado jumped over the top in front of goal. In just seven minutes, Carreras scored two goals to help the Spaniard change his life and win the first game of the new year 2-1.
Who is Carreras? The Espanyol-trained striker has been playing in the second team before. I didn't expect to have such a stunning performance in the debut of La Liga, and it is precisely because of the rise of Carreras that Wu Lei completely lost the opportunity to appear, sitting on the bench for 4 consecutive games.
Looking at the current Espanyol front, De Tomas and Embarba are the two main forces that cannot be shaken, while Puado, Morón and Di Mata firmly occupy the rotation position. Now, Kareiras has turned out again, and Wu Lei has become the 7th striker in the team.
Many fans sighed that the Spaniards won, but Wu Lei completely lost the opportunity, which made people feel that it was not a taste. Why did Wu Lei fall out of favor? On the one hand, the Spaniards currently emphasize individual ability, and Wu Lei, a striker who needs to rely on running positions and teammates to do the ball, is not very compatible with Moreno's tactics.
On the other hand, Wu Lei's ability to grasp the goal is too poor, against Real Sociedad, he lost the single knife that locked the victory, especially the performance of the ball that was too large and directly stopped to the opposing goalkeeper, which triggered the dissatisfaction of manager Moreno.
Since then, Wu Lei has never been given a chance to play in La Liga, and his La Liga goal drought lasted to 567 days.
