At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on May 12, the 36th round of La Liga will stage a focus battle, with Espanyol challenging Alaves at the bottom of La Liga. Despite the good situation of the Spaniards, there is actually still a possibility of relegation, and this time facing Alaves is undoubtedly a battle of relief. As long as they draw with their opponents, the Spaniards can complete the relegation two rounds earlier. Fortunately, the Spaniard has never lost to Alaves in the last 4 rounds.
Arguably, this is one of the most pivotal games of the Spaniards' season, and it is also a game of life and death for Alaves. Espanyol only need a draw to complete relegation, while Alaves, if he wins, leaves the possibility of relegation. At the moment, Alaves is six points away from relegation zone, and now there are three rounds left in the league. Although there is little hope, Alaves will not pass up any opportunity.
Espanyol have been under-recorded lately, having won four straight games after Celta 1-0, the most recent scoring was a 1-1 draw with Osasuna in the last round. Alaves showed signs of recovery, with two key wins in the last four league rounds. Of course, from the history of the past confrontation between the two teams, the Spaniard has never been afraid of Alaves, 7 wins in 11 meetings, and the last 4 encounters have achieved an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 1 draw, the scores are 2-1, 0-0, 2-0 and 1-0, and the Spaniards have only conceded 1 goal in 4 games.
It can be said that Alaves met the nemesis at the most critical moment, and the probability of the Spaniard winning or playing a draw is still high. In fact, Chinese fans do not care about the outcome of the game, and whether Wu Lei can start or play is an important issue. According to the current situation in the Espanyol team, Wu Lei should not have too many problems in playing, and as for the starter, there is also a high probability. After all, De Thomas and Moreno fell out, and then there were rumors about De Thomas's transfer. In the last round of the league, De Thomas's substitute appearance seemed to ease the atmosphere, but the contradiction between the two did not seem to be resolved in one game.
In any case, Wu Lei is ushering in an excellent opportunity to fight back. Once Wu Lei seizes the period of De Thomas's downturn, then Wu Lei still has the opportunity to counterattack and turn the tables in Espanyol. Not long ago, Wu Lei scored the first goal of La Liga this season, and now the national football team needs to score the second goal, and facing Alaves is one of the few excellent opportunities. Although Wu Lei's performance is indeed mediocre, as long as the Spaniards give more time and opportunities, I believe that Wu Lei can find self-confidence. After all, this was One of the few opportunities for Wu Lei to prove himself.
