In a focus battle in the 31st round of La Liga that ended in the early morning of April 11, Beijing time, Espanyol beat Celta 1-0 at home. Chinese player Wu Lei came off the bench and staged a good show in the 89th minute of the game, becoming the number one contributor to the team's victory. In this match, espanyol only had 2 shots on target, all from Wu Lei, who came off the bench. This is not only Wu Lei's first goal in 2022, but also the first goal in La Liga in the past two years, and the 10th goal of his career in Foreign Countries.
What is touching is that when Wu Lei scored the final kill, the Espanyol fans on the scene instantly fell into madness! As you can see from the live video, these Espanyol fans collectively shouted Wu Lei's name to cheer him on!
And teammate Dadel, who assisted Wu Lei, pointed to Wu Lei to support the Chinese international. It is worth noting that Wu Lei's first goal in La Liga is also An assist for Duddell. The Spaniard No. 10 is one of the few teammates in the team who still trusts Wu Lei.
After Wu Lei completed the kill, Celta coach Kuder reacted very excitedly! He took off the scarf around his neck and waved his helplessness while scolding. Perhaps Couder did not expect that a Chinese international who has never scored a goal in La Liga this season will send his team to taste the bitterness of defeat.
It's no surprise that Kuder is so excited. Because Wu Lei's goal directly helped Espanyol to surpass Celta in the table to 11th place, Celta fell to 12th place. In addition to helping the team climb the table, in the 15 games wu Lei scored, Espanyol won 11 and drew 4 to remain unbeaten. Wu Lei can be called the "lucky star" of the Espanyol team.
