In the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, which ended in the early morning of January 16, Beijing time, Espanyol lost 1-2 to Mallorca and did not qualify for the next round. In this game, Chinese player Wu Lei came on as a substitute in injury time. After the debut, Wu Lei missed a great opportunity and failed to become a hero of the team.
It was the last minute of stoppage time when teammate Moron sent a superb cross from the wing. After Wu Lei got rid of the opposing defender's defense, he got up and tried to kick the ball into the goal. But perhaps after a long time of neglect, Wu Lei did not kick the exact part of the ball. The weak shot was easily confiscated by mallorca goalkeepers.
Seeing that Wu Lei missed the opportunity to read the seconds, his teammates expressed regret one after another. Assister Moron held his head and turned around depressedly, while centre-back Cabrera stood in place and spread his hands directly, roaring at Wu Lei. The Uruguayan centre-back clearly believes that Wu Lei can handle this shot better. And Wu Lei himself covered his mouth and silently endured the accusations of his teammates, which also made Chinese fans very distressed.
After the match, the Spanish media commented on the performance of the players in the match. When it comes to Wu Lei, The World Sports Newspaper bluntly said: "Wu Lei has fallen into despair! ”。 And "As" also admitted: "Wu Lei's constant role as a substitute can be described as non-accidental! ”
Recently, some media revealed that Wu Lei, who has no chance to play, may leave the team early in the winter window. Indeed, after playing very little time and being distrusted by the manager and teammates, it may be time for Wu Lei to say goodbye to espanyol.
