In the 9th round of the tournament, the Spaniards beat Cadiz 2-0, and Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 89th minute; in the 10th round, the Spaniards drew 2-2 with Elche, and Wu Lei made his debut but failed to shine, and was replaced shortly after the start of the second half; in the 11th round, the Spaniards drew 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao, and Wu Lei didn't get a chance to play; in the 12th round, the Spaniards defeated Getafe 1-2, and Wu Lei came on in the 88th minute; in the 13th round, the Spaniards defeated Granada 2-0, and Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 86th minute; in the 13th round, the Spaniards beat Granada 2-0, and Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 86th minute. In the 12th round, the Spaniards defeated Getafe 1-2, Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 88th minute; in the 13th round, the Spaniards defeated Granada 2-0, Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 86th minute. In five consecutive matches, Wu Lei only played longer in one match despite playing in four, which was related to the intensive schedule. Even with the suspension of star center forward De Tomas, Wu Lei was unable to get more playing opportunities. In the 20 days from Oct. 18 to Nov. 6, the Spaniards played five matches. Despite Moreno's rotation, Wu Lei was not given more chances to play. Especially in the last 3 matches, Wu Lei was almost ignored, despite coming on as a substitute twice, it was in the garbage time at the end of the match. This shows that Wu Lei's situation in the Spaniard team is quite embarrassing. It is worth mentioning that Wu Lei is very clear about his situation. He said that his current state of mind is not bad: "Every soccer player encounters problems on the field of play, and in turn, this is a course that the vast majority of professional players must face. For me personally, it's more important to know what position I'm in and understand my position at different stages and in different positions. So, encountering difficulties or need to adjust the mindset, positive face it." Wu Lei said.
Despite not having many opportunities at the club, Wu Lei is still extremely valuable to the national soccer team. As of now, if there are no accidents, Wu Lei will still be the iron start against Oman. First of all, from the position point of view, Wu Lei's starting position is no doubt. Against Oman, Zhang Yuning should lock a center forward position, with his partner, the probability will be Alan. In this way, both Wu Lei and Luo Guofu, I'm afraid they can only change to play wing forward. However, this position for Wu Lei there is no problem, after all, in the Spaniards, Wu Lei most of the time is also playing this position, and will not affect the defense system of the national football team. Although this month, Wu Lei's game is not much, but the training can still be guaranteed, and even can say, in the national football team 27 players, Wu Lei's training quality should be the best, his physical state and athletic state, is also the best. From the mentality, this game, Wu Lei's attitude should be very positive. On the one hand, Wu Lei himself is very professional, but also very hard, whether in the domestic or stay in the ocean, every game is to go all out; on the other hand, because in the doldrums, the club level to seek a breakthrough is not very easy, if in the national football has a good performance, may help to change the predicament of his club. As far as the offensive system of the national football team is concerned, with Zhang Yuning as the pivot point, and with naturalized players like Alan and Luo Guofu, Wu Lei's possibility of being taken care of is relatively reduced, which may be conducive to his play. More importantly, the offensive end of the "four", the rhythm is more in line, which will help Wu Lei play. In a word, although Wu Lei is in a career low, but for the national soccer team, his value is still not reduced. "It's not the time to look at the points situation, no matter which opponent we face, we have to fight for victory in every game." Wu Lei said, "I expect to help the team win with goals."
