I believe that many people believe that in recent years, as a national football fan is the most pitiful. Because the national football team is currently full of problems, such as the aging of the lineup and the lack of green and yellow, the performance of the cliff decline, it is not easy to look forward to the naturalized players, but also facing the naturalized players are old and general in strength. Then there was the change of the head coach position one after another, what foreign coaches and tu shuai have tried, and no one has been able to coach for more than 3 years. In short, chinese football is chaotic and turbulent. And this chaos and turmoil also produced the result of the national football team losing 3-1 away to Vietnam on the first day of the New Year, losing to the opponent for the first time in history, which was a complete defeat and a humiliating battle.
In fact, over the years, our national football situation is so bad, a very important reason for many of our fans to persevere is that there is a person who can always warm the hearts of fans and let us see hope. This person is Wu Lei, who is known as the best player in China and currently plays for Espanyol in La Liga. In the case of a general downturn in Chinese forwards, he was able to score 27 goals in a single season in the Chinese Super League, and finally won the top scorer and the best player. When the national football team faced South Korea and Iran with a foreign bonus in the Asian Cup, they were defeated. Wu Lei took responsibility and chose to stay in Yang, he joined Espanyol in La Liga, becoming another and only Chinese player in the five major leagues after many years.
In La Liga, Wu Lei brought us a lot of wonderful nights, such as his first assist in La Liga, the first goal, the first time to break through the barca's goal, the first Copa del Rey goal and scoring twice, the first Europa League goal, etc., and these first times are also the first time for Chinese players, he made history, and at the same time let us Chinese football see hope. It also lets us know how much progress a player can bring to a player, and how much progress can be brought to a national football team.
However, more than 3 years later, Wu Lei has always been a person working in Europe, and he has gradually lost the position of the main player of the Espanyol team as he grows older, and even this season, it is difficult to see Wu Lei playing. And the few chicken soup for the soul that our fans have almost lost, and even some fans look desperate for the Chinese men's football team.
But at this moment, the second Wu Lei appeared! He is Li Lei, the former Chinese Super League giant Beijing Guoan team and the main left defender of the national team. After the Football Association started the plan to stay in the West, 30-year-old Li Lei was the first to go out. He chose to join the Swiss Super League's powerhouse Grasshoppers, although not the top five leagues, but the level of the Swiss Super League is far beyond the Chinese Super League. It should be known that Li Lei can be described as an iron man-like existence in the Chinese Super League, his running ability and physical fitness are the top in the Chinese Super League, he can run 10,000 meters in the midfield, and even run to more than 15,000 meters at the peak. It can be said that at that time, everyone was still confident in Li Lei's stay in Yangyang, believing that his physical fitness and running would be the basis for him to stand in Europe.
However, after Li Lei experienced a warm-up with the team and a substitute appearance in the Super League, he admitted that he saw a huge gap. Against the warm-up of the Swiss A team, Li Lei bluntly said that he could not keep up after running half-court, and against the Swiss Super League team, Li Lei said that as soon as he played, he would follow the rhythm of the other party, the rhythm was too fast to keep up. So this also makes many fans worry that Li Lei will not be difficult to get out.
But even with such difficulties, Li Lei still created surprises by actively running on his own. Just this morning the Swiss Premier League played another round, grasshoppers against Lausanne Sport. The Grasshoppers took a 1-0 lead in the first half. Li Lei came on as a substitute in the 65th minute of the second half, and in the 2nd minute of his play, the assist came.
At that time, the opponent launched a counterattack on the side, li Lei actively played, cut off the opponent's pass, and then forced the other side to make a pass error. Immediately after the teammate took the ball into the penalty area, in the case of close defense, the ball was distributed to Li Lei on the left side, and Li Lei was very determined, directly to the ground, and then chose to paste the earth cross, directly blinded the opponent defender, and then the teammate in the middle easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, and the score became 2-0. The final result of this match was also 2-0.
In fact, the whole process of seeing this ball is due to Li Lei's positive counterattack and running position, and I have to say that such a positive and undead player will like it wherever he goes. Because he can always use his own running to create opportunities and help the team change the result, that's the value, the sparkling value. And seeing this assist, many fans will remember Wu Lei's first assist in La Liga, as long as he is proactive, as long as he tries his best, all the good will begin.
Li Lei's assists can actually be regarded as a new beginning for Chinese football to stay in the Ocean, when our players are not generally recognized by Europe, we take out our attitude, take out our fullest state, bravely compete, bravely surpass them, I believe that in the future, the Europa League will be full of Chinese football base.
