In the early morning of January 11, Beijing time, in the 20th round of La Liga, Espanyol lost 1-2 at home to Elche. For Chinese player Wu Lei, he has not started in 10 consecutive rounds of the league, and has not played in 5 consecutive rounds of the league, so it is really boring to continue to stay!
In the last 4 rounds of La Liga, Wu Lei sat on the cold bench and did not get any playing time. In the first game of 2022, the Copa del Rey against a La Liga side, he did not start until the 87th minute.
The first La Liga game of the new year, the opponent is Elche, Wu Lei's most recent league start, is the first leg of the season between the two teams, the result? Or be a spectator on the bench.
Espanyol trailed 2-0 at one point, with De Thomas pulling a goal back. In the second half, the Parrots replaced Melamed, Hill, Di Mata, Merida and Carreras, and the King of Martial Arts did not finish.
In 5 consecutive rounds of La Liga, Wu Lei has never played, and his position in the manager's mind can be imagined. Espanyol forward (centre forward + winger), his pick behind De Thomas, Morón, Embarba, Puado, Melamede, Di Mata, up to 7th man, probably not as good as youngster Joffrey!
In La Liga, Wu Lei was caught in a long-term ball drought, and the last time he scored a goal was on June 13, 2020, 576 days ago! During this period, although he experienced La Liga, throughout the natural year of 2021, the league still scored 0 goals.
Since he can't get the trust and reuse of the manager, since he can't hand over good performance and data, Wu Lei is still working in Spanish, what does it mean? He is 30 years old, can't afford it, it is better to take advantage of the winter window to change a European team, maybe "the tree is dead, the people are moved".
