National football striker Wu Lei is preparing with his team for the upcoming UAE Top 40 tournament, while his Espanyol team managed to win the Liga B title at the end of the season, and the club's official celebratory photos released did not forget to highlight Wu Lei's contribution. However, Spaniard fans don't seem to be happy with the performance of players like Wu Lei, and there are even calls for them to be cleansed out of the team before the summer transfer window closes.
As the first Chinese player in the history of Spaniards, Wu Lei has been playing for the team for 2 and a half seasons. In his first season, he appeared in 16 games and scored 3 goals; in his second season, he appeared in 49 games and his goal tally increased to 8 goals; and this season, as his third season, he appeared in 34 games and his goal tally dropped back to 3 goals, of which he appeared in 31 games in the Liga B and scored 2 goals.
Statistically speaking, Wu Lei's performance this season is really unsatisfactory, and there was even a goal drought in 17 consecutive rounds in the Liga B, and there was even no income on the road. With the decrease in playing time, he has even been placed on the bench several times.
Despite having three years left on his contract with the Spaniard, Wu Lei's lackluster performances this season have put his continued stay in the team next season in doubt.
After Espanyol's title win, fans began to buzz about summer transfers. One fan took to social media and bluntly said, "We have to say goodbye to Diego Lopez, Didak, David Lopez, Luis Lopez, Wu Lei, Oyer and others who shouldn't remain in the team next season."
However, does this really mean that Wu Lei is unpopular in the eyes of some of the Espanyol fans? Let's not forget that when the Spaniards were celebrating their promotion, the fans collectively chanted Wu Lei's name and sang the Wu Lei song to show their support for him.
The Spaniards have completed their season and the players are on vacation. Wu Lei will also represent the national football team to play in the World Qualifier. At present, no team and Wu Lei transfer rumors, and Wu Lei himself also expressed the desire to stay in the Spanish team to participate in the La Liga.
