At 23:00 Beijing time on the evening of January 15, the Spanish King's Cup 1/8 final ushered in a focus game, Wu Lei's Espanyol away PK bitter lord Mallorca, the first leg of la Liga this season, espanyol has lost to Mallorca 0-1, this showdown is also the spaniard's revenge battle. Recently, there is a clear difference in the state of the two teams, the Spanish state is relatively stable, the recent 10 games in all competitions 6 wins and 4 losses, ranking 11th in the La Liga table; Mallorca has only 4 wins in the last 15 games, the last 4 games 1 wins and 3 losses, La Liga suffered three consecutive defeats, the La Liga standings fell to 15th, relying on the Copa del Rey to save face.
Before the match, espanyol officially confirmed that the 23-man attack was played, Wu Lei continued to be selected for the 23-man competition roster, and De Thomas, Puado and others were also selected. As the tournament has reached the sprint stage, and the recent schedule is not very dense, the main players do not need to rotate, and the Spaniard will continue the strategy of the previous round of the Copa del Rey and continue to send the strongest squad.
Not surprisingly, Espanyol's new trident de Tomas, Puado and Morón led the start, using Melamede, Dadel and Barre in midfield, and the backfield consisted of Pedrosa, Cabrera, Serhi Gomez, Electrolux Vidal and Diego López. This set of starting lineups is a relatively stable system for Espanyol this season, embarba because he started almost every game this season, but did not score, became the king of the wave of shots, so this round once again entered the bench adjustment state; Wu Lei is similar to Embarba, the goal efficiency is very low, and will continue to be on the bench.
In the last 5 rounds of La Liga matches, Wu Lei has completely fallen out of favor, and there is no opportunity to come off the bench. In the last round of the Copa del Rey, Wu Lei's situation was also deteriorating, he was kicked out of the starting lineup of the Copa del Rey, Moreno also adjusted his substitute order to the last place, only after Di Mata, Melendo, Moron, Embarba and others all appeared, Wu Lei had a chance to play.
According to this rhythm, Wu Lei may not be able to play until the 70th minute of the game, or even after the 80th minute, which is very helpless. The good thing is that Wu Lei maintains a positive state and mentality, even in the King's Cup game, he can also have a very active performance, as long as this state continues in this game, he is still expected to score goals or assists.
Espanyol's detailed 23-man squad for this match is: Diego López, Oyer, Joan Garcia, Lean Bric, Pedrosa, Cabrera, Carrero, Oscar Hill, Didak, Alex Vidal, Serch Gomez, Moranes, Merida, Dadel, Cady Barre, Melamede, Wulei, Puado, Melendo, de Thomas, Moron, Di Mata, Nbarba.
