This past matchday has been a mix of joy and sorrow for Chinese football. Sadly, the Spaniard drew 1-1 with the strong opponent, but Wu Lei did not play on the bench again; the good news is that the 21-year-old Shen Mengyu scored again, and this is already her third goal in the league, which undoubtedly makes Wu Lei, who is the flag of Chinese football.
On February 20, the 17th round of the Soviet Super League women's football league began to compete, and the Celtic women's football team played at home to the Hartz women's football team. In this game, Shen Mengyu got the opportunity to start. In the 84th minute, she first pressed the ball high on the right side of the front field, handed the ball to her teammates, then went straight into the box, received the ball from her teammate and calmly pushed the goal to help the team lock in a 2-0 victory.
With this goal, Shen Mengyu set two personal records: 1. This goal was her first goal in 2022, and scoring this goal undoubtedly helped her to improve her confidence; 2. This goal was her third goal in the personal league. The last time she scored was two months ago, on December 23, when she scored the team's first goal and helped the team win 7-0. All 3 goals were scored in the league, and Shen Mengyu added another weight to his main position.
Joining the team in his first season, he performed amazingly, scoring 3 goals in the league, and Shen Mengyu undoubtedly surprised the fans. Compared with Shen Mengyu, Wu Lei's current experience is very worrying.
At almost the same time as the Celtic women's football match, Espanyol took on a challenge at home to Sevilla. After 90 minutes of fighting, the two teams were 1-1. Being able to draw second in the league at home to Sevilla is not easy for Espanyol. However, Wu Lei once again became a spectator of this game, sitting on the bench for 90 minutes, and did not even get up to warm up.
So far this season, Wu Lei has made 17 appearances for Espanyol, only 5 starts, 13 league appearances, and only 3 starts. This season, Wu Lei has not yet opened in the league, scoring only 1 goal in the Copa del Rey. After the team's Copa del Rey was out, Wu Lei became a substitute for Iron Play. In addition to this game, Wu Lei has not played on the bench 11 times in the league. Such an embarrassing situation is too far from the outside world's positioning of his "Chinese football flag in the west".
