In the 17th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port defeated Zhejiang 3-1 at home, and Wu Lei scored a hat trick to increase his season goals to 19 goals! He almost locked up this season's Golden Boot award, and Wu Lei proved that he is still the undisputed "goal machine" in domestic football with wonderful goals again and again.
For Wu Lei, the top 18 is also a new challenge. Against Asia's top teams, he needs to break through his limitations in the national team and show the same efficiency as he did in the Chinese Super League. This is not only a challenge to himself, but also an improvement to the overall strength of the national football team.
From the perspective of the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei's goal efficiency is extremely high, and none of his 19 goals have been penalized, all of which came from sports battles. This way of scoring is more indicative of a striker's ability to shoot and his sense of the game. In addition, Wu Lei has also participated in a number of the team's attacks this season, whether it is tacit cooperation with teammates or personal breakthrough shots, showing his all-round ability as an excellent striker.
For Wu Lei, the round of 18 is another important battlefield in his career. If the national football team wants to compete for the fourth place and enter the play-offs, in addition to getting enough points on Bahrain and Indonesia, the games against the top three teams are even more crucial. As the top scorer in the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei's ability to break through the doors of these strong teams will directly affect whether the national football team can achieve its goals.
Looking back on the last World Preliminaries, Wu Lei's performance in the top 40 and top 12 matches was amazing. In the round of 40, he scored eight goals and provided three assists in eight games, becoming a key figure in the team's promotion. In the more intense round of 12, he also ranked second in the Asian scorer list with 4 goals and 1 assist, and Wu Lei's goals were second only to Asian king Sun Xingmin!
Approaching the top 18, the national football team still has to rely on Wu Lei! As the scorer of the Chinese Super League and the scoring weapon of the national football team, Wu Lei has locked the Golden Boot Award of the Chinese Super League in advance and is expected to break the goal record. In the coming games, we look forward to seeing him continue to play well and help the national team achieve more victories.
