2021 has passed, looking back at the past year, Wu Lei has experienced the double heaven of ice and fire in the club and national team. Today, the secret news makes a comprehensive summary of Wu Lei's 2021, and also hopes that Wu Lei can bottom out in 2022 and achieve new breakthroughs.
Espanyol's 2-1 win over Valencia, which ended early this morning, was the last match wu lei played in 2021, and unfortunately he did not get playing time. Looking back over the past year, Wu Lei's statistics in club matches are 2 goals in 32 games, including 0 goals in 16 La Liga games, 0 goals in 12 La Liga games, and 2 goals in 4 Copa del Rey games.
Wu Lei set two new career lows, namely: the worst record of 0 goals scored in the league for the first time in his career natural year, and the record of the fewest goals scored in club competitions in his career natural year - 2 goals. Previously, Wu Lei had the fewest goals scored in a natural year back to 2008, when he scored four goals a year when he played in the Chinese League A for the first time, but Wu Lei was not yet 17 years old at the time.
At the same time as the club's performance in the competition was sluggish, Wu Lei ushered in a year of data explosion in the national football team. In 2021, Wu Lei scored a total of 9 goals in 10 national football matches, setting a personal record for the annual goal of the year in the national team. He scored 4 goals in 6 of the round of 12 matches, ranking first in Asia. Previously, Wu Lei's annual goal record in the national football team was 5 goals in 2018 and 2019. Since 2018, Wu Lei has scored a total of 19 goals in 29 national football matches, won the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League for the first time, and successfully stayed in the Western La Liga, becoming a brother of the national football team in one fell swoop.
In 2021, the main reason for Wu Lei's downturn in club competitions is because he does not have the trust of the head coach, has very little playing time, and gets few opportunities. Especially this season, Wu Lei has made 12 appearances in La Liga, which seems to have played a lot, but the cumulative playing time is only 293 minutes, averaging less than 25 minutes per game, and only 2 shots have been obtained in total. Throughout 2021, Wu Lei played a total of 44 games in the club and national team competitions, scoring a total of 11 goals, but the performance of the club and national team was seriously polarized.
In 2022, Wu Lei also has new opportunities, although it has not qualified for the World Cup, but with wu Lei's strength to replace a club is still promising to play the main force. In the new year, as the Football Association increases its support for the work of staying in the West, it is possible to gather resources from all sides to find a club for Wu Lei, such as Ligue 1, Portuguese Premier League, Dutch League and other national leagues, playing the main force and even looking for opportunities in European competitions. Since the Spaniards are not happy, there is still a great chance to change clubs to achieve a new breakthrough in their careers abroad.
I wish fans across the country a wonderful and happy life every day in 2022. I also wish Wu Lei good luck and more goals.
