This year, it is already the third season for Chinese player Wu Lei to join Espanyol, but the Wu Ball King has faded the glory of the past, his status and playing time at the club have dropped significantly, and he has hardly received a decent starting opportunity in the league this season, and has only scored 1 goal in the Copa del Rey, which makes Wu Lei quite depressed.
Today, Wu Lei is actively seeking a transfer, but some time ago, no team hoped to recruit the 30-year-old Chinese striker, which also made the majority of Chinese fans regret. However, it is the gold that always shines, and after many days of waiting, a team finally threw an olive branch to Wu Lei, which is from the Dutch Second Division's Hague. In fact, this is also the team that Zhang Yuning stayed overseas, so The Hague still left a good impression on Chinese players, which is Wu Lei's opportunity.
Although it is not the top five leagues, it is still a second-level competition, but for Wu Lei, who has no chance to play in La Liga, it is also worth transferring. At least in The Hague, Wu Lei is expected to become the core of the team, when he will lead the team to the Dutch League. Moreover, the Netherlands has always been a paradise for advocating offensive football, so a speedy and impactful striker like Wu Lei is the type that the team very much wants to introduce, coupled with Zhang Yuning's previous successful cooperation, which makes Hague excited about Wu Lei.
It is understood that the intensity of the Dutch Second League is also quite good, and the level is not low. As a veteran powerhouse, The Hague is also very suitable for the characteristics of Wu Lei's rapid counterattack. Although Wu Lei's opportunity to kick in the door is lacking, his running position, tandem and interspersing are still ranked in Asia, even if he can't play the role of a terminator, it is feasible to play the role of an assist king. In addition, the defense of the Dutch Second League on the plane is certainly not as tight as in La Liga, and Wu Lei will also have more scoring opportunities.
In fact, The Hague, like the Spaniards, is also a club with a Chinese background. This is very friendly for Wu Lei. Previously, Zhang Yuning was able to occupy a semi-main position in The Hague for a long time, and it was inseparable from the club's support for Chinese players. Of course, in terms of experience and comprehensive ability, Wu Lei is definitely better than Zhang Yuning, so he also has the hope of asking the club for a starting seat. Even if the club can't promise, Wu Lei can't even play time here.
For Chinese football, Wu Lei is still a facade and a signature figure. Therefore, his prospect of staying abroad is related to the development of Chinese football as a whole. Now that Wu Lei has bought and established, there is not much time left for him to spend his years in Espanyol. Since there is a chance to transfer now, although it is a low-level league, as long as you find the opportunity to play, you will not be able to make a comeback. After making a name for himself, there will naturally be more players willing to recruit Wu Lei, after all, there are still many commercial values in him, which is Wu Lei's biggest advantage.
