As the only player in the national football team to stay in the five major leagues in the west, Wu Lei is the hope of fans across the country. However, at present, Wu Lei's situation is very bad, and the manager of the last 5 rounds of La Liga has not given him any chance to play. As a striker, wu Lei was tragically abandoned by the head coach for a reason. So far this season, Wu Lei has made a total of 15 appearances in all competitions, with only 1 goal and 1 assist.
Coupled with the Spaniard's current talent on the offensive end, De Thomas has scored 10 goals and averaged 0.5 goals per game, and he has become the absolute core of the offensive end. Moreover, Morón and Puado also scored 4 and 3 goals respectively. Therefore, it is also reasonable for Wu Lei, who only scored 1 goal, to sit on the cold bench, after all, Melendo, who scored 0 goals in 12 games, did not have many opportunities to play. However, he is only 24 years old this year, and Wu Lei is already 30 years old this year.
Espanyol are currently in the 11th team of La Liga and have no pressure to relegate this season. Compared to last season when it rushed to La Liga, it is now a high fault tolerance rate for this team. However, the head coach was also reluctant to use Wu Lei, but chose to let the young people of the B team play, which already reflected that the head coach was too disappointed in Wu Lei. Again and again, without scoring goals, wasting opportunities again and again, Wu Lei completely destroyed himself.
Recently, the Espanyol team talked about his views on the future of Wu Lei in an interview with Sports Weekly. The reporter who accompanied the team has made it clear that although Wu Lei's situation is very special, he is a player personally signed by the club president. However, the team's head coach Moreno has distrusted Wu Lei, so it is normal for Wu Lei to consider leaving the team during the winter transfer period, after all, he is now in Espanyol without any chance.
I have to say that this reporter with the team has already spoken out about the future of Wu Lei. In Europe's five major leagues, as a 30-year-old veteran, if there is no chance to play, then leaving is the only option. You can refer to the Japanese players who stayed in the west, many people returned to the domestic league at the age of 30 or so, and The final result of Wu Lei should also be to return to the Chinese Super League, after all, at the age of 30, it is difficult to have players from the five major leagues in Europe to ask him.
As the strongest No. 7 player in the national football team at present, Wu Lei's choice to return to China is not a bad thing. The national football team will start playing the remaining games of the round of 12 at the end of January, plus the 2023 local Asian Cup, and Wu Lei will definitely play as a core player. Through the data of Wu Lei's 12 goals and 3 assists in 13 games of the World Preliminary Round, it can be seen that Wu Lei is the offensive core of the national football team, and no other player can replace the role of Wu Lei.
