Zhao Zhen has used an example to illustrate that Wu Lei's most recent goal in the national team, a header that hit the Saudi Arabia goalpost, came from a set-piece opportunity. In short, the current national football team lacks the ability to pass the ball in the midfield, which limits Wu Lei's play. During his time with the national team, Zhao Zhen advocated replacing Wu Lei in the second half, which is more in line with his playing habits.
If Wu Lei had been allowed to come on as a second half substitute, some fans might have felt that they were not at the same level as they used to be, considering that he was the top scorer in the Chinese Super League. But Argentine star Lautaro was able to accept the role of substitute and eventually achieve great things. Why did Wu Lei refuse? Perhaps the key for this national soccer team is to allow players to play in positions they are familiar with, rather than having powerhouse players try out unfamiliar or uncomfortable positions.
The national team's midfield and flank outlets have not maximized Wu Lei's threat in the box. As fans of the prowler said, even if Wu Lei plays in South Korea or Japan, can still show excellent. However, the national football team lacks players who can pass the threatening ball, Wu Lei is good at running again, it is difficult to turn the situation.
