At 04:00 Beijing time on February 8, the 23rd round of La Liga, Espanyol was reversed 2-1 by Athletic Bilbao, swallowing the third defeat of the last four rounds. However, to the relief of the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game, Wu Lei finally came on the field.
After 7 rounds of 0 appearances, after waiting for 71 days, Wu Lei finally made his debut in La Liga again. Trailing 1-2, Moreno ran out of the last two substitutions in the 75th minute, with Wu Lei and Herrera coming on at the same time. The last time Wu Lei made his appearance in La Liga was in a match against Real Sociedad in November last year.
With the addition of 4 minutes of stoppage time, Wu Lei got a total of 19 minutes to play. So how did Wu Lei perform, he only got a failing score of 5.9 on the famous rating website.
In the 81st minute, Wu Lei took the ball in the middle of the road and handled it once, blowing up the manager Moreno directly. Originally, this ball was not difficult to handle, teammate Oscar Gill was completely unguarded on the right side, as long as it was given to the foot, I did not expect that Wu Lei gave such a large amount of advance, and wasted an offensive opportunity.
In the 85th minute, Wu Lei forced a yellow card for the opposing player Petexa in a steal at the back, which was the most eye-catching scene in Wu Lei's 20 minutes.
At 89 minutes, you can see a shortcoming in Wu Lei's consciousness. Espanyol left-back Pedrosa rushed to the half in the back with the ball, Wu Lei did not even think to go over to meet it, and as a result, Wu Lei only managed to run out of a single knife ball by himself, did not think that his teammates had no physical strength, and could not send a fatal straight plug.
On the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Wu Lei's appearance on the bench was more gratifying, but although Wu Lei played very hard in these 19 minutes, he still did not play a performance that could conquer Moreno, and there were 0 shots on goal and 0 crosses in the whole field, and there were 2 steals.
