In the 7th round of the World Preliminary Round, the Chinese team was full of the hope of 1.4 billion spectators, going to Japan to challenge the opponent, but in the 90-minute game, the national football team was almost suppressed by the Blue Samurai, the whole game was 0 shots, the possession rate was less than 30%, and finally it was a 0-2 fiasco, after the game, the Chinese team that had high hopes for the fans to stay in the west was awarded the lowest score in the game, and 5.9 points also made him the only failing player.
In fact, in the previous top 40 competitions, including the first stage of the round of 12, Wu Lei's play is still quite convincing, the only victory of the national football team is to rely on Wu Lei's kill, only to defeat Vietnam 3-2. At present, Wu Lei has scored 13 goals in this World Preliminary Tournament, ranking second in the top scorer list, so he has also become the strongest Wu Lei in this national football team against Japan. However, in the face of this strong enemy, Wu Lei seems to sleepwalk, perhaps he can't play the game for a long time in Espanyol, which leads to a serious decline in state, this game Wu Lei has no grain, and many data are embarrassing 0.
0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shots, 0 key passes, the number of threats created as a striker is almost 0, of course, this is related to the overall tactical play and scene performance of the Chinese team. According to the statistics after the match, Wu Lei had a total of 26 touches in this campaign, including 15 passes, with a success rate of 53%, and 13 confrontations, with 5 successful times. At the same time, he lost the ball as many as 10 times, was fouled once, and the rest of the data was all zero. Originally, Li Xiaopeng wanted to mobilize and pull the Japanese team's back line on a large scale through Wu Lei's ghostly running position in the front court and high-intensity impact, but unfortunately this original intention was not realized.
What is even more embarrassing to Wu Lei is that the only close-up of him in the whole game is actually his violent flying shovel in midfield. In the 35th minute of the first half, he struggled to grab the ball after losing the ball, and as a result, the Japanese player Hidemasa Shouda took control of the ball one step ahead of him, and Wu Lei, who wanted to tackle the ball, also accidentally kicked to the right ankle of Hidemasa Sugita, who immediately fell to the ground in pain, and did not want to get up for a long time, and the referee also immediately showed a yellow card warning to Wu Lei, and Wu Lei's expression was also helpless, and it could be seen that he also held a stomach fire.
The game went to the 89th minute, Wu Lei was also replaced by Deng Hanwen, Li Xiaopeng's move also showed that he gave up this game in advance, and let the core Wu Lei leave the game early to rest, after all, on February 1, the Spring Festival, the Chinese team also had to go to the away field to challenge the Vietnamese team, this game is also a life and death battle for the national football team, and the national audience will see this game through live TELEVISION, Li Xiaopeng naturally does not dare to take it lightly. Wu Lei will still be the first candidate under Li Xiaopeng's thunderous attack, and going off early can also allow him to recover his physical fitness while avoiding the risk of unnecessary injury.
However, seeing that Wu Lei was in such a bad state in this battle, it was not difficult to understand the reason why the Spaniards completely abandoned him. On the one hand, Wu Lei's ability to finish in front of goal is too poor, even if there is a good opportunity in front of him, it cannot be converted into a goal, on the other hand, in this kind of high-intensity dialogue, Wu Lei's body is too thin, and the technology is not delicate enough to play his need for space speed in the rapid offensive and defensive conversion. Perhaps in this winter window, Wu Lei really should think about the transfer, and choosing to stay in Espanyol may not be a wise decision.
