On May 3, news flash came that China's soccer superstar Wu Lei is about to return to his home country to prepare for the game after completing two rounds of matches in the Western B. He is expected to arrive around May 20th.
In the 37th round of La Liga, Espanyol defeated Málaga 3-0 at home, with Wu Lei coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute. With this victory, Espanyol has won 7 and drawn 1 in their last 8 matches, and is expected to return to La Liga in the 38th round of matches this weekend.
Reporter Yu Jiong revealed that Wu Lei will play two more rounds of La Liga with the Spaniards until he departs for home around May 16th, with an expected arrival time of May 20th. At that time, he will represent the national football team to participate in the World Cup qualifying Asian zone 40 matches.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Lei is required to undergo a nucleic acid test after entering the country and will enter the red zone of the tournament directly after passing the test to participate in the national football team's joint practice and the World Preliminary Cup.
The rumors about Wu Lei returning to Shanghai Seaport at the end of his stay in the world is a misnomer. The Spaniards will be playing in La Liga next season, and Wu Lei's first choice is still to stay in the ocean to develop, and his contract with the Spaniards has been extended until 2024.
