The name of Wu Lei, after a year of silence in the hearts of fans, once again resounded in the La Liga, and the figure of Chinese players is once again active on the stage of the five major leagues. In the team's return to La Liga media conference, Wu Lei confidently revealed that he is looking forward to the new season to realize the ambition of breaking double-digit goals.
"I've set myself the goal of breaking double digits in goals in a season. As for the team's goals, of course we still want to play the first round of matches, and after that we have to take it one game at a time. After the first round, we'll think about other things and we'll give our best in every game."
Talking about pre-season preparations, Wu Lei said, "Compared to the past, this off-season is really shortened, but I still want to try to keep up with the team's rhythm when I come back here. My recovery is pretty good and I'm confident about the new season. When I first joined the team, I was playing in La Liga and I'm no stranger to the Spanish top flight, so I'm still very confident. Last season I was playing La Liga B and made relatively few appearances."
Wu Lei went on to say, "Back in La Liga, I believe I will get more chances to play. Looking at my characteristics, I am very confident about this. Of course, this requires me to work harder in daily training and contribute to the team. In the new season, I hope to play more and help the team win games. If I can help the team win games by scoring goals, that would be perfect. For me, playing in La Liga, I can create space and counterattack depth for the team, which is my characteristic. And the way of playing in Liga B is very different from Liga MX."
Wu Lei joined Espanyol during the 2019 winter break. In the 2018-2019 season, he scored 3 goals in 16 La Liga matches for Espanyol, helping the team to survive relegation and get a ticket to Europe.In the 2019-2020 season, Wu Lei completed a full season with Espanyol for the first time, scoring 8 goals in 49 matches but the team was unlucky to be relegated.
