Recently, when some Chinese media commented that Chinese striker Wu Lei can rank 3rd in the Asian striker rankings and is not losing to other Asian stars, some Korean media have commented: This statement is ridiculous, Wu Lei wants to enter the top ten of Asian strikers is not qualified enough!
The South Korean media article listed Wu Lei's stats for this season: 18 appearances in La Liga, a total of only 499 minutes, four appearances in the Copa del Rey, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist.
Forwards like South Korea's Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, as well as Japan's Jiu Jianying, are clearly statistically superior to Wu Lei. Therefore, Korean media said: "Wu Lei is not qualified enough to enter the top 10 in the Asian striker rankings."
……
Is the chinese or Korean media objective? Obviously, this can not only look at Wu Lei's performance in the league this season, but also see the performance of Wu Lei's entire career:
First, Wu Lei was in the Chinese Super League, it was the "Golden Dollar Football" era, he helped the Shanghai Team, not only broke through evergrande football's monopoly on the league championship, but also became the best local scorer for several consecutive seasons, but also in the season of winning the championship, he defeated a number of foreign aid masters in the Chinese Super League and became the king of the Chinese Super League goalscorers.
The data and championship honors in these leagues are obviously still extremely high. It is also an important reason why Wu Lei has become the only Chinese player who can play in the five major leagues in Europe in the past ten years.
Second, Wu Lei made his debut in La Liga in the 2018-2019 season, and after appearing in Espanyol, scored 3 goals and 2 assists in 16 games, which is a good start to staying in the Ocean.
In the 49 games of the 2019-2020 season, Wu Lei scored 8 goals and 1 assist, and also achieved the first goal of the Chinese player to break barca, which is the highest season of Wu Lei's career.
Third, entering the 2020-2021 season, in the La Liga, Wu Lei played 34 games, but only 3 goals and 2 assists. However, at this time, Wu Lei also played mostly as a substitute, and his poor data was also related to this, of course, it also showed that Wu Lei did not continue to come up with the best state.
Fourth, entering the 2022 season, Wu Lei is getting less and less playing time, of course, it is impossible to have the opportunity to perform, but in this way, it is not too objective to completely negate Wu Lei.
Fifth, in the Top 40 of the World Cup Asian Preliminary Round, Wu Lei scored 8 goals in 8 games; in the round of 12, although the national football team had poor results, but in the 5 points currently obtained, Wu Lei's goal contribution: 4 goals were scored in 8 games - Wu Lei therefore still ranked first in the top 12 goals list!
Judging from his performance in the national team, Wu Lei is still the top scorer and important core of the Chinese team, and in the forwards of Asian teams, the performance is still very eye-catching - it can be seen that even because it is difficult to play in Espanyol and the results of the national football team are not good, Wu Lei's personal ability and performance are still not bad in the Asian front.
Therefore, it may be true that Wu Lei is still difficult to rank in the top three of today's Asian strikers, but it is not as Korean media said: Wu Lei can't get into the top ten of today's Asian forwards, right? The South Korean media is not too objective in saying this, and it seems to have a deliberate derogatory meaning, right? 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
