In a focus battle in the 26th round of La Liga that ended on the evening of February 27, Beijing time, Espanyol lost 1-5 away to Villarreal and suffered a seven-round winless. In this game, Chinese player Wu Lei came on as a substitute for De Thomas in the 81st minute of the game, which was his second appearance in La Liga after two rounds, and his second appearance in the last 11 rounds.
After debuting, Wu Lei almost got a one-handed chance, but was destroyed by the opposing goalkeeper Lu li. Slow-motion replays showed that Lully's handball outside the penalty area destroyed Wu Lei's single knife, but Lulli's handball was ignored by the referee. Wu Lei's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break the wilderness was thus snuffed out. In the 87th minute, espanyol sent a cross, Wu Lei behind the goal to wrap up, but because his teammates passed the ball too large, Wu Lei failed to grab the ball.
In the short 8 minutes of playing time, Wu Lei touched the ball twice, including 1 key pass, other data was 0, and sofascore gave Wu Lei a rating of 6.6 points (6.5 points for the base). In such a short period of time, it seems unrealistic for Wu Lei to play a role.
After Wu Lei continued the ball shortage, his hope of changing his situation in the team was even more slim. In the final two matches of the top 40 matches with Saudi Arabia and Oman announced by the national football team, Wu Lei was not selected. The national team hopes that Wu Lei can stay in the club to fight for the main position, but from the current situation, perhaps going to the national team to play more games to find the state is a wiser choice for Wu Lei.
