Whether it is rising from setbacks or starting from a new starting point, every athlete who bravely moves forward deserves praise.
On April 10, Beijing time, Chinese footballer Wu Lei scored a winning goal for Espanyol in the 31st round of the 2021-2022 La Liga season, breaking the 117-day club "goal drought" and winning the tenth La Liga goal of his career.
After the game, Wu Lei was selected as the best in the whole game, and the Spanish media recognized his performance very much. "World Sports" said: "Wu Lei is the hero of this game, he finally scored in La Liga, scoring a golden goal in a desperate situation. "As" believes that "Wu Lei's goal is the icing on the cake for his third Chinese Golden Ball Award." ”
This is the harvest that Wu Lei has insisted on for a long time. The last two seasons have been an extremely difficult time for him to play overseas - losing the team's main position, playing time has been greatly reduced, scoring few goals, and doubts have come and gone. Before playing abroad, Wu Lei made full preparations for the difficulties he might encounter, but after arriving in Spain, he found that some difficulties were expected and some were unexpected.
In foreign high-level leagues, weathering the wind and rain and seeing the world is Wu Lei's dream, although he often encounters setbacks on the road to chasing his dreams, he has never stopped. He said: "I have been training hard, not giving up, trying to seize every opportunity. His efforts were recognized by Espanyol coach Moreno: "Although Wu Lei did not become the protagonist this season, he has always kept smiling and worked hard to complete the requirements of the coach. ”
Looking at the world football world, there are very few players who go straight to the other side of their dreams in the professional league, and most players have to wait for opportunities in hard work and perseverance. As Wu Lei said: "It is not because there is hope to persist, but because there is hope because of persistence." ”
Persevering for the sake of dreams, this high-spirited state belongs to every aspiring athlete. Short-track speed skater Wu Dajing showed his heart after being awarded the title of "Outstanding Contribution to the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games", in order to dream, he also wants to persist for 4 years and strive to make up for some regrets at the Beijing Winter Olympics; he said: "For me, when I really get the medal and stand on the podium, all the hard work and efforts paid for it are not worth mentioning. Women's volleyball player Zhu Ting recently released the rehabilitation progress after wrist surgery through social media, "focus on rehabilitation and feel progress" statement highlights the determination to overcome injuries; the Chinese women's volleyball team ushered in a new Olympic cycle, every athlete and coach for the same goal, starting from scratch, starting again, also interpreting the power of persistence and struggle.
For any athlete who keeps climbing, love is the driving force for perseverance, and struggle is the ladder to realize dreams. Whether it is rising from setbacks or starting from a new starting point, every athlete who bravely moves forward deserves praise. I wish them tenacious struggle on the way forward, overcome difficulties, and continue to write new chapters.
