On January 5, Beijing time, the third round of the Copa del Rey, espanyol defeated Bonferredina after a penalty shootout. Although Wu Lei was in the big list, he did not start until the 87th minute, and did not come on as a substitute until the 87th minute, failing to score a goal.
In the 2021 New Year's Eve battle, Wu Lei did not appear, has not played in 4 consecutive rounds of La Liga, but in the first 2 rounds of the Copa del Rey this season, he was the first starter, sent assists in the first round, and scored the first goal of the season in the last round.
However, in the 3rd round against La Liga side BonFreidina, Wu Lei was actually substituted again! In the second half, Embarba, Dimata and Hill all came off the bench, even B team youngster Joffrey was on the line, and it was not until the 87th minute that the king of martial arts was replaced for the fifth time.
As a result, as soon as he played, Gomez sent a penalty, and the opponent was absolutely equal! The game entered extra time, and Wu Lei played "passively" for an extra 30 minutes. In extra time, he did not get the support of his teammates, but instead sent a single knife to his teammates in the 116th minute, but unfortunately Joffrey had a large belt.
The score was still 1-1, and in the next penalty shootout, Wu Lei, who was a penalty shootout of the national football team, did not kick it. With Diego López's save, espanyol eventually eliminated their opponents and reached the Round of 16 in the Copa del Rey.
La Liga can not be played, the Copa del Rey is also substituted, not valued by the coach, not only the fans are disappointed, I believe he himself will also be disappointed. This is one of the most difficult stages after Wu Lei joined Espanyol, playing time is very small, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the state, and Shen Monroe, a female footballer who stayed in The Ocean, terminated her contract with Portuguese Sports for this reason.
Wu Lei's contract with the Parrot Army only expires in the summer of 2024, and if this situation continues, it will be a waste of time to stay here. For the 30-year-old, time is very precious, now that the winter window has been opened, if you want to change your situation and get more playing time, act early!
