Not long ago, in a warm-up match between Spaniards and Las Palmas, Wu Lei, a newly returned international player, seized a rare opportunity to play. In the game, Wu Lei twice got a good opportunity to face the goalkeeper, but unfortunately missed. Especially in the 80th minute of the game, Wu Lei received a precise long pass from his teammates, showing a rare one-touch opportunity. If Wu Lei could have scored at that time, he could have equalized the score to 1-1 for the Spaniards.
However, Wu Lei made two seemingly reasonable choices after the one-two punch, neither of which was the most ideal decision. One is to choose to bypass the goalkeeper and try to shoot directly at the empty net, and the other is to try to pick a shot to break the goal. However, in the end, Wu Lei chose the most conservative option, a push shot, which is exactly what the goalkeeper was expecting to see the most. As a result, the Las Palmas goalkeeper easily deflected the threatening one-touch shot.
Despite missing this great opportunity, the Spaniards ended up losing 0-1. After the match, some Chinese fans blamed Wu Lei's mistakes, thinking that his stubborn problem of repeatedly missing single goals has not yet changed. However, they seem to have overlooked the fact that Wu Lei has just returned to the team and his physical condition has not yet reached its best.
In fact, Wu Lei's two one-touch chances are relying on his own scrambling. In addition to a slightly impatient mentality, as well as a little less lucky, Wu Lei missed two single knife in the warm-up game, need to show more convincing performance in the later games. Only in this way, Wu Lei can get a stable chance to play in the Spanish La Liga journey.
As the only representative of Chinese men's soccer in the top five leagues, Wu Lei's every move is highly scrutinized by fans. Even a mistake in an inconsequential warm-up game can spark a hot debate after the game. For this, Wu Lei has long been accustomed to. He can keep a normal heart no matter whether he faces praises or doubts. I hope that Wu Lei will bring the fans the joy of scoring goals in the Spanish La Liga matches soon.
