Chapter 304 Nanny assists
Wu Lei did not perform well after he came on the court, and he was not sure about his head when he made a few crosses. The Chinese fans in front of the TV and computer were anxious. After Wu Lei came on the court, after the initial excitement, they have gradually calmed down.
But playing on the court can no longer represent anything, more importantly, the performance after playing on the court. If you don’t have enough performance, then maybe this is Wu Lei’s last appearance at Espanyol this season…
Thinking about Dong Fangzhuo's first football trip to Manchester United, he played for the Premier League on behalf of Manchester United, but he performed very poorly in that game.
At that time, Manchester United had already won the championship one round ahead of schedule. In the last Premier League game, Ferguson sent Dong Fangzhuo as the starter. As a result, Dong Fangzhuo was eager to succeed on the court. After a few anti-aircraft guns, he was replaced by Rooney in the second half.
That also became the only Premier League match he participated in.
Chinese fans are now worried that Wu Lei will repeat Dong Fangzhuo's mistakes.
Fans who have watched Wu Lei play in the domestic league will find that Wu Lei today is a little different from the one they are familiar with. He is more active on the wing.
In the domestic league, as the team's main scorer, how could he frequently go to the wing?
But the environment is different. In China, he is the team's offensive core. The team's offensive tactics revolve around him, and this midfielder will feed him the ball.
Especially in the Chinese Super League last season, why would he be able to score in and get the silver boots?
But when he arrived in Spain, no one regarded him as the core, so he naturally could not enjoy support from the entire team.
Many things change, and everything changes.
He had to start adapting again.
And Wu Lei’s fans may also need to adapt again.
Later, when Wu Lei appeared again on the front line, looking for a gap in running positions, this made people feel familiar.
Unfortunately, no one passed the ball to him.
※※※
Wu Lei found that it was useless to wait in front of him. Even if he couldn't get the ball, it would be meaningless even if he ran out of time.
So he decided to retreat, at least he could receive the ball after retracement. Otherwise, even if he was in the front, it would be useless if he couldn't receive the ball.
Valencia was cut off by Espanyol midfield while taking the ball in the backcourt.
In fact, when Valencia was planning to pass the ball forward, Wu Lei was about to run back and participate in the defense.
But unexpectedly, Valencia's ball was cut off by his teammates.
However, at this time, Wu Lei did not turn around and rush forward like other teammates, but suddenly accelerated and continued to run back, quickly approaching his teammate Pape Diop who intercepted the ball.
Diop intercepted the ball by chance. He didn't know in advance that he would intercept the ball successfully.
So after really intercepting the ball, he suddenly didn't know what he should do.
At this moment, he looked up and saw Wu Lei wearing the No. 26 jersey.
Without even thinking too much, he passed the football forward to Wu Lei who was retreating to meet him.
Wu Lei did not stop the ball or turn around to dribble the ball, but directly passed the ball from Diop across the side and passed it to the team's left forward Buerji.
Then Wu Lei did not turn around and run back to the front line, but instead circled around and went from the original left rib to the middle lane.
During the detour, he was always paying attention to the situation on the side of Burgi who was holding the ball.
When he saw Burgi dribbling the ball forward, he encountered two Valencia players in the defense. When he stopped urgently and wanted to get rid of the defense, Wu Lei suddenly rushed forward in the penalty area at high speed!
At the same time, Buerji completed the emergency stop, temporarily shook off the two defensive players. At the same time, he also adjusted his body direction and happened to see Wu Lei who was entering the penalty area with several people at high speed. So he did not hesitate and swung his legs on the spot to pass the football to the middle of the penalty area!
"Burji passes the ball, find Wu Lei--!" He Ping's voice suddenly increased. If there were any Chinese fans who could not stand the sleep in front of the TV, they would probably have woken up when they heard his throat.
I saw that Wu Lei did not go straight forward, but suddenly took a step back, found the landing point of the football, and then jumped up.
He jumped high after two Valencia defenders saw him.
At this time, he was almost on his back to the goal, and it was almost difficult to head the ball.
Wu Lei in the air saw a blue and white figure inserted into it.
He didn't know who it was, but he knew it was his teammate.
So while he leaned back, he gently pushed the flying football and pushed it horizontally, just over the head of the Valencia defender who was returning to defense, and fell into the space in front of the goal.
"Wu headed back! Asensio!!!" the Spanish commentator yelled.
Amid his roar, Asensio, who was crossing the position, appeared on the left rib of the penalty area, then leaned on his body, swung his right foot, and swung his football that Wu Lei was pushing over horizontally!
This kick in the small penalty area made Valencia's goalkeeper Alves react at all. The football rushed into the goal from his leg. He had only time to jump up, but he didn't have time to stretch his legs to block the football!
"In the 77th minute, Espanyol scored a goal! This is their first goal in the last three games! From Wu Lei's assist!" He Ping pointed out the key point. Although the goal was Asensio who was loaned from Real Madrid, Wu Lei is the key to this goal.
This is not entirely because Wu Lei is a Chinese player, but he is a Chinese commentator.
Wu Lei did occupy the most important part of this goal when it was established nationwide.
Retracement, then shifted horizontally, followed by a beautiful run without the ball, and went straight into the air. Finally, after attracting all Valencia's defensive attention, he jumped high and sent the football selflessly to Asensio.
When Asensio was shooting, there was no Valencia defender beside him. It was like in normal training, and the shooting was no difficulty.
Wu Lei’s pass can be called a “nanny assist”!

Seeing this goal, Gao Zheng stood up from the sofa and waved his fist.
He was happy for Wu Lei.
Although they are both forwards, there is no competitive relationship between him and Wu Lei.
He hopes that Wu Lei can gain a foothold in the La Liga, so that he will at least be alone here.
In addition, when Wu Lei gained a foothold in La Liga, he can definitely continuously draw nourishment from La Liga and improve himself.
After he returns to the Chinese national team, he will have a forward partner who can fully keep up with his rhythm and ideas.
This is a great benefit for the Chinese team to strive for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
This is why Gao Zheng urged Wu Lei to go abroad to play football.
Zheng Zhi can also understand his football ideas, but Zheng Zhi is old and it is unrealistic to come out again now.
However, Wu Lei, who is the same age as him, has the possibility of playing football abroad to improve his strength.
If you have more helpers in the team, the road to the World Cup will be much easier.
