The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing, and the five major Leagues in Europe have reopened the curtain. In a scramble in the 23rd round of La Liga, Athletic Bilbao welcomed the Challenge of Espanyol at home, and the Chinese player rushed to Europe to meet the team after the match for the national football team in Vietnam, and his spirit of racing against the clock also won the praise of his teammates and managers.
Although Wu Lei was placed on the bench in this game, it can be seen that Wu Lei's early return to the team and his solo training behavior has been recognized by Moreno, and his exclusive opportunity is coming. Only 2 minutes after the game, Wu Lei received good news, the top of Wu Lei's starting young player Puado faced the defense of the two on the right side of the road, suddenly accelerated to start a Bell-style crime overtaking, only to see him rush all the way to the bottom line to shake off the defenders, send a high-quality cross, new signing Villena followed up in time to push the goal, the score came to 1-0.
However, the Espanyol goal joy lasted just three minutes before Biba made a strong response. In the 5th minute, veteran Garcia sent a precise pass on the counter-attack, Sanchet faced the Spaniard goalkeeper's attack, did not have a choice to force, but deftly nudged the far corner, resulting in the ball into the net, the score came to 1-1. The play was not over, 10 minutes later, Garcia opened a free kick, although the first shot was defied, but Biba's second attack hoisted the ball into the box, Martinez flicked his head to break the goal, the score was 1-2.
Then in the 24th minute, Cabrera's powerful shot from outside the box was deflected wide, and in the 36th annoyance, Di Mata's header was deflected, and the Spaniard trailed by one goal in the first half. After the adjustment of the midfield, the two teams fell into a stalemate, the trend of hand-to-hand combat in the midfield intensified, and seeing the delay in instigating a threatening attack, the Spaniard finally chose to send Wu Lei to the 74th minute. In the 86th minute, Wu Lei used a quick breakthrough to create a yellow card foul on the opponent, and 2 minutes later, the Spaniards had a chance to draw, Puado crossed, Dadel suddenly applied a cold arrow in the front of the box, but unfortunately the ball flew out slightly on the crossbar, and finally the Spaniard had to accept the result of 1-2 defeat.
The game can be very fast-paced and can be called a high-quality dialogue in La Liga. From the technical statistics after the game, it can be seen that Biba's possession rate is only 43%, and the Spaniard is as much as 57%, which shows that the away team has the advantage. In terms of shots on goal, Biba has created 8, while the Spaniard has only 6, and the offensive side really does not play at a normal level. The two teams combined received a total of 6 yellow cards, which was enough to see the intensity of the game. After losing this game, espanyol's invincibility spell continues after entering 2022, and the team has now slipped to 13th in the table, just five places away from the relegation zone.
However, as a Chinese fan, being able to see Wu Lei's figure in the middle of the night is already a great comfort. To know that Wu Lei has not played in 7 consecutive rounds of La Liga, and now it is a big improvement to regain the playing time, this game Wu Lei received a score of 5.8 points after the game, and the pass success rate is 80%, which is also a highlight. Interestingly, Messi, the idol of Wu Lei in this round, reappeared in Ligue 1 after recovering from injury and broke the ball drought of up to 8 rounds, which I believe is a big comfort for Wu Lei. Now he is also suffering from a year-long ball shortage, if he can follow messi's self-adjustment in the trough, I believe Wu Lei can also harvest his first goal in La Liga this season as soon as possible.
