When it comes to Chinese football, Wu Lei is a topic that cannot be bypassed. As one of the best players in China at present, he has attracted the attention of fans because of his stay in Western La Liga. However, since last season, Wu Lei has gradually become a marginal figure in Espanyol, and can hardly play any games. The last time he made his debut in La Liga was on October 24, 2021, 131 days after today. During this period, fans broke their hearts for the future of Wu Lei, and suggested that Wu Lei change the environment where he could play football. However, Wu Lei remained indifferent and waited silently.
In the last round of La Liga, Espanyol lost 1-5 and lost to Biarrell. During the match, Chinese fans vaguely saw hope, frantically outputting in the live broadcast room, shouting that Moreno was out of class. I hope that with the arrival of the new coach, Wu Lei can wait until the arrival of spring. However, after the match, espanyol club executives said they would not change the coach. Since then, the last wave of fans who pay attention to Wu Lei will probably follow. However, don't be discouraged. In addition to Wu Lei, there is currently a Chinese international who plays for the European League and is gradually playing the main force.
This player is Li Lei, a full-back of the Swiss Super League. As a 29-year-old "older" player, Li Lei's choice to stay in The West at this age is really commendable. Although the Swiss Super League cannot be compared with the top 5 leagues in Europe, it is also a European 2nd class league, which is much stronger than the Chinese Super League. The grasshoppers that Li Lei plays for are also considered to be regular visitors to the Europa League, so if he can play in the grasshoppers, Li Lei's stay in The Yang is considered a success. Up to now, Li Lei has made 3 appearances in the Swiss Super League, including 2 substitutes, 1 start and played the whole game, and received 1 assist.
We can see from Li Lei's performance on the pitch that Chinese players are fully capable of standing in the European 2-stream league. Of course, the first condition is that you have to fight enough. When it comes to fighting, it can be said that it is the spirit or attitude that Chinese local players lack the most. In the Chinese Super League, you can still play because the club has too few options. In European football, if you're still hanging, then the cold bench is your home. As a veteran, Li Lei undoubtedly understands this truth very well. So, in the grasshopper team's game, we saw a hard-working Li Lei. Through his own efforts, he only took 3 games to get the main position.
Of course, in addition to hard work, the matching degree of individual ability of players with the level of the league is also very important. Li Lei, according to the reason, the strength is definitely not as strong as Wu Lei. However, he made the right choice, and then through his own efforts, slowly kicked the main force. Wu Lei, on the other hand, went from the main player to the substitute to the lack of a ball to play, and it turned out that his strength really could not gain a foothold in La Liga. In this national football training, Li Lei, who only played 3 games in the Swiss Super League, was summoned by Li Xiaopeng, while Wu Lei was not eligible for the national football training list. Hopefully, taking this opportunity, Wu Lei can think hard about whether it is time to make the choice to leave.
