In the first half, he not only made a penalty and hit it himself, but also played a key role in the second half, again with a penalty. In the first half, he not only made a penalty kick and hit it himself, but also added another in the second half, again showing his key role with a penalty kick.
Two wins in a row, same script but impressive. After the game, amidst a chorus of praise, the

Known as the Chinese team's "bottle opener", it also makes us think:
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
Where exactly is the change?
Although last season's performance in West B was not as good as expected, Wu Lei's skills have not declined, but have made great progress. More importantly, his temperament has also changed: full of self-confidence, believing that he can change the team; bravely stood on the penalty spot at the critical moment, showing a strong sense of responsibility and bearing; after the game is still humble and polite, maintaining the usual low-key style.
In two games, Wu Lei created two penalty kicks, which just shows his consistent running ability and flexible speed advantage.
However, his precise point-blank shots against Guam and the sublime direct feed to Tang Miao in this game are clearer evidence of his improved ability.
As we all know, Wu Lei has been playing in La Liga and La Liga B for two and a half seasons, and even when he became a substitute in La Liga B, his playing time was still relatively stable, which undoubtedly improved his ability to utilize his skills in confrontation. Not to mention, the quality of the Spaniard's training is top-notch in both La Liga and La Liga B, which is probably more intense than most of the matches in the Chinese Super League.
Wu Lei's change is not only the improvement of technology, but also the change of temperament, which is exactly the embodiment of the improvement of temperament.
Three opening goals in two games is not just a coincidence, it's a sign of confidence and belief.
However, to the reporter left the most impressive is still Wu Lei in the penalty kick with the Philippines. In fact, in the last game with Guam, Wu Lei created penalty kicks after personally punishing, but facing that kind of opponent, even if the penalty is lost is just a matter of winning more or less, and Guam at that time basically locked the bottom first, goal difference is not very meaningful for the Chinese team.
But this time, Wu Lei once again stood on the penalty spot, the significance is completely different. To know, in this game, the Chinese team in the first half almost no shooting opportunities, in the face of this rare opportunity to break the goal, the psychological pressure of the penalty players can be imagined - because the subsequent 30 minutes of the game may not appear such opportunities.
In fact, in the Chinese team's past matches, the key moment of penalty kicks, many players are afraid to try, in addition to the lack of confidence in their own ability, the more critical is the lack of resistance to pressure and psychological ability to withstand, the ball has not yet been punished, has begun to worry about the responsibility and scolding.
But this time, Wu Lei still bravely stood on the penalty spot, which is not only the embodiment of self-confidence, but also his responsibility and bearing as a benchmark for staying in the ocean - regardless of how Wu Lei praised his replacement teammates and staff after the game, but he knew that at this moment, he is the most should stand out.
After easily deceiving the goalkeeper and sending the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, Wu Lei ran to the side of the field, facing the camera slightly excited to vent his feelings. Pressure? Of course there will be, but the courage to resist the pressure to stand on the twelve yards, is the best proof of his temperament change.
The domineering Wu Lei on the field, but off the field has become a humble and polite young player - from the current lineup of the national football team, 30-year-old Wu Lei is at most a mid-generation. After the game, Wu Lei first accepted an instant interview, and then attended the post-match press conference with head coach Li Tie, in addition to talking about the game, Wu Lei left more praise for the team and teammates.
Talking about the match, Wu Lei said, "From Suzhou to Dubai (Sharjah), we had a home advantage, but now we have come to the UAE (lost our home field), and there are also objective difficulties with the temperature, but Director Li has always emphasized that this kind of match tests willpower, and it's up to whoever can run and grit their teeth to get the ultimate success of the match. The reason we were able to hold on is that each of us was prepared and ready to face the difficulties."
Technical and tactical level, Wu Lei commented, "Technical and tactical or some different, the last game Philippines is 5 back, this game we also expected that they will not be intensive defense, they are in the attack to put more."
Subsequently, Vulet saved more praise for the team as a whole.
Wu Lei said: "I also said after the last game, we have this national team, concentrated the best players in China, no matter what the game, no matter whether it is home or away, no matter how hard the conditions, are we a team to face and complete, and not rely on a certain player, no matter whether it is a success or a failure, it is we who have to bear the burden. "
At the same time, Wu Lei said, "relative to my goal, our backline did better, which is very proud, everyone in our backline played their talents, in addition, in such difficult conditions, to win the game, not only rely on the eleven people on the field, the teammates on the bench, as well as all the staff, it is the efforts of all people to help us finally win It was everyone's efforts that helped us win the game.
At this moment, Wu Lei has become the familiar boy next door again, his thinking and expression, always great.
Of course, there is a saying perhaps still have to say a little, a single tree does not make a forest, a stay in Europe, fast-growing Wu Lei, for China's national football team is still too little. I believe that this moment of Wu Lei will become a model for more young footballers, and this moment of Wu Lei may inspire more Chinese players to step onto the stage of the top league in the future.
