Beijing time on April 10, 22:15, the 31st round of La Liga, Espanyol home to Celta, not surprisingly, Chinese striker Wu Lei will still sit on the bench, and even do not get the opportunity to come off the bench.
Stay in the ocean for three years, stay like this, only gain and loss, which is big or small?
In the last two matches of the round of 12, the national football team first fought hard to draw Saudi Arabia and barely saved the "face", and then lost to Oman's face, if the top scorer Wu Lei was present, would the situation be different?
There may be two reasons for not calling Wu Lei: one is two "battles of honor", no matter what the result is, can not change the fate of the national football team has been out, and the call to Wu Lei has no substantive significance; second, Wu Lei, who has not been able to play in Espanyol for a long time, cannot return to the national team state, just like the World Preliminary Tournament play-off Mancini gave up the call for Balotelli. It is better to let Wu Lei stay in Spain and wait for the opportunity.
But Wu Lei didn't wait!
In the 30th round of La Liga, Espanyol played Real Sociedad away, Wu Lei has been a substitute for 20 consecutive rounds in La Liga, and this game has not been given the opportunity to come off the bench.
On the success of staying in the West, Asia is the first to promote Japan and South Korea, the "Asian Brother" Son Heung-min is the main striker of Tottenham Hotspur, and the Japanese players are all over the mainstream leagues in Europe, all of which are the strength to stay in the West.
Like the Wuhan players, Japan has no shortage of top midfielders and defenders, but has always lacked first-class strikers, and if there is, the goal of the World Cup quarterfinals has long been achieved.
Kubo Kenei, who is 10 years younger than Wu Lei, is known as the "Japanese Messi" and was once pinned on high hopes. But today's situation is not much better than Wu Lei.
After Wu Lei joined Espanyol, Kubo Jianying was also signed by Real Madrid, but was loaned out for a long time.
Kubo has made 22 La Liga appearances for Mallorca this season, including 15 starts, making much more appearances than Wu Lei, but only scoring one goal. He played 25 games in all competitions and contributed 2 goals and 2 assists. Wu Lei's stats are 1 goal and 1 assist in 20 games, but Wu Lei has made 16 appearances in La Liga this season, of which only 3 have started.
In the case of the national team, Wu Lei is much better than Kubo Kenying. As long as Wu Lei is selected, it must be the absolute main force of the front. But Kubo has yet to become a regular starter for the Japanese national team. During the World Preliminary Round, Kubo made 6 appearances for the Japanese national team, including 2 starts, without scoring goals or assists. Wu Lei's stats are 16 world preliminary tournament appearances, starting from the field, contributing 12 goals and 3 assists.
In the final round of the round of 12, Japan played at home to Vietnam, Kubo Jianying started, but disappeared, and for the first time in the history of Japanese football, it was forced to draw by Vietnam.
Japan's side has Takumi Minamino and Junya Ito, Kaoru Mitsuru turned out, and the unconscripted Do-Annru, etc. In the opinion of ass newspaper, if Kubo Kenei continues like this, it will be difficult to be selected for this year's World Cup Japan national team roster.
In an interview with ass, Japanese celebrity Keisuke Honda said that Kubo Kenei could become a leader in Asian football in the future.
In the 31st round of La Liga, Mallorca hosted Atletico at home at the Defending Stadium, and Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre removed Kenying Kubo from the starting list, resulting in Mallorca winning 1:0, ending a 7-game losing streak and relegation back to light.
Manager Mallorca said: "Kubo Kenei is listless in training, inactive and can't find his own position, I don't like it at all. So I decided to start as Li Gangren. ”
It seems that in the club, a small club in La Liga, Kubo Kenying's situation is not much better than Wu Lei.
