At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 27, Espanyol will play at home against Athletic Bilbao in the 11th round of la Liga this season. At the pre-match press conference on October 26, Espanyol coach Moreno talked about Wu Lei and said that he was grateful to Wu Lei. It can be seen that although Wu Lei has not yet produced offensive data in La Liga this season, Wu Lei is still a player trusted by the manager!
0 goals and 0 assists, but the West coach still trusts Wu Lei
This season in La Liga, Wu Lei has made 8 appearances, including 3 starts, averaging 33 minutes per game, but assists and goals are 0, and there are almost no shots on goal. In the last game, Wu Lei started, but was replaced after half-time. In the 45 minutes, Wu Lei touched the ball very little, and naturally could not talk about how to play. Many domestic media who care about Wu Lei have also complained about Wu Lei, believing that Wu Lei can't get a pass from his teammates on the field.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference against Bilbao, Moreno said: "In terms of the number of touches that Wu Lei has, it is not fair to compare it with other strikers. He's a great player and we believe him. Like other players, Wu Lei's state will also have ups and downs. Thanks to Wu Lei, I am grateful because he is very compatible with the team and is willing to contribute everything to the team. He has the ability to break the door, and we just have to keep a normal mind, because he always tries very hard to do his best. ”
From Moreno's words, it is not difficult to see that Wu Lei is still trusted by the manager. And his diligence and selflessness are highly valued by Moreno.
The next match is also a big opportunity for Espanyol - if they can win, then they will temporarily surpass their city rivals Barcelona in the standings. However, Moreno said: "I don't like to make any assumptions, we just want to play, we only care about our own performance, I don't like to care about things that have nothing to do with the upcoming games." ”
La Liga executives: It is not easy to play la Liga, Wu Lei is the best in China
Coincidentally, according to the surging news report, Sergi Torentz, general manager of La Liga China, also mentioned in an exclusive interview that Wu Lei still has the trust of the coach.
Torenz said: "He is very focused on contributing to the club, whether it is 90 minutes, or 45 minutes, 30 minutes - it depends on the coach, Wu Lei's performance is actually good. Wu Lei is now able to start sometimes, most of the time on the bench, always have the opportunity to play, although the efficiency of the goal may not be so high, but he also has the trust of the coach, being a La Liga player is not easy. It's good to have a Chinese player in La Liga, and he's also the best player in China at the moment. ”
Torenc also said that La Liga has also been paying attention to potential Chinese players: "La Liga analyzes Chinese Super League players every season, we have a scouting system, we will make scouting reports to the clubs in La Liga, whether it is 18-year-old young players or older players, we will collect their data and performance. There are some Chinese players in our focus at the moment, but not many players are really ready to play in La Liga because the level in La Liga is very high. We're interested in talented players, but we also have to face reality. ”
