Wu Lei is currently the best player in China, and the national football round of 12 looks at Wu Lei, and the recent "fortunes" of Chinese football seem to be related to the personal fate of "Wu Lei". Wu Lei's current embarrassing situation in Espanyol is like whether the national football team can qualify in the round of 12. Everyone knows that the national football team cannot qualify at all in the round of 12. And everyone knows that Wu Lei has completely lost the opportunity to start and even the first substitute in Espanyol. Therefore, the phrase "a piece of clothing with water, cold lips and teeth" is not something that the ancients said casually, or has its connotation.
Let's talk about the winger brought in by Espanyol, his name is Villena, a player born in the Netherlands in 1995, who has been playing for Feyenoord before joining Russian Premier League side Krasnodar. He has played 13 games in the Russian Premier League this season, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist. Villena's comprehensive ability is particularly balanced, especially good at ball control and short pass penetration, and he is also full of spirituality in running positions, and has a certain aggressiveness in the style of playing.
Of course, in terms of speed and acceleration ability, he still has a certain gap compared with Wu Lei. However, the current Spaniard's style of play does not require a speed winger at all, because the Spaniard lacks an organized midfielder.
The arrival of Villena, the direct impact must be Wu Lei, the current personal value of Villena is 7.5 million euros, and Wu Lei's value has fallen to 2.5 million euros. Therefore, from multiple perspectives, Wu Lei, who is currently in an embarrassing situation, must choose to retreat. For the most part, Wu Lei has fallen into a desperate situation in the Spaniards. His next step will touch the hearts of many Chinese fans. Wu Lei's contract is until June 30, 2024, and there are still 2 and a half years to go, so it is better to ask the club to loan himself out, which is actually a very good plan.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Wu Lei has stayed in Espanyol and then occupied a substitute place at the last minute of each game. The reason for this, please do not forget that When Wu Lei first joined the Espanyol club, a large part of it was the commercial value. In fact, Wu Lei did bring a lot of advertising and sponsorship benefits to this club. Moreover, Wu Lei's wife and children are now very comfortable living in Spain, and leaving the Spaniard means that they will go to a new city and face a new life.
Therefore, when comparing Wu Lei's personal situation with the specific needs of the Espanyol club, including the club's commercial considerations, it will be a very complicated matter. In other words, whether Wu Lei's current appearance only in the last moments of each game simply means that it is completely out of the needs of football games is unknown.
