With the addition of Wu Lei, Espanyol has become the most concerned La Liga team for domestic fans, no matter what time, espanyol's attention to each game is not low, and the evening prime time ratings are higher. Espanyol's fourth round of the Copa del Rey away to Mallorca is exactly between Saturday night and Sunday early hours of the morning, so the attention is very high.
Espanyol coach Moreno distrusted Wu Lei, allowing Wu Lei to continue to sit on the bench, sending his love general Di Mata to form a trident with De Thomas and Puado. In the 30th minute of the first half, Espanyol defender Gomez fouled and received a yellow card warning, the referee also awarded a free kick, and then Jiu Jianying took a free kick directly into the goal to help Mallorca lead 1-0.
In the 59th minute of the second half, espanyol's corner kick defense was pierced, 0-2 behind, completely in a desperate situation. In the 62nd minute, Puado scored through a free-kick to help espanyol pull a goal back 1-2 and saw hopes of a comeback.
After waiting for a long time in the domestic fans, Wu Lei did not come off the bench until the 90th minute, and the game would end with only 6 minutes left. In the eyes of Chinese fans, this is a humiliating substitution of coach Moreno, seeing that the team has no hope of equalizing, allowing Wu Lei to play the pot.
In the last moments of stoppage time, Pedrosa was sent off two yellows and one red, the Spaniard fought one less person, and got the last chance to attack, when Molon crossed from the left side to the goal, Wu Lei showed a world-class running position, tried to kick the ball into the goal after getting rid of the defense, and finally did not play the force, the ball was confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper, and the Spaniard was eventually eliminated 1-2 and subdued by the old rival Mallorca.
After seeing that his weak shot was fruitless, Wu Lei stood in place with his hands on his head, and he seemed to dare not believe that he had not kicked in. In addition, the Spaniard teammates marveled at Wu Lei's missed opportunity, some teammates bent over, some teammates raised their hands depressed, some teammates directly roared at Wu Lei, and complained that Wu Lei could have become the savior of the team, and turned out to be a sinner.
Wu Lei missed such a good chance to draw, perhaps related to his just appearance, has not yet found the state of the game, but missed the opportunity is a missed opportunity, the Spaniard coach and teammates are once again disappointed.
Now Wu Lei in Espanyol has become dispensable, completely lost the trust of the manager, the club and the team reporter Biya revealed that Wu Lei is likely to transfer and leave the team in the winter window, the contract between the two sides expires in the summer of 2024, Wu Lei left the team at most is a loan method, many domestic fans think that the Bundesliga is suitable for Wu Lei, and there are currently no Bundesliga teams to issue invitations to join.
