Wu Lei: League sharpshooter, the national team has no door In 2023, Chinese football once again witnessed the myth of Wu Lei.
The 33-year-old veteran not only helped the team win the Chinese Super League championship at Shanghai Port, but also became the top scorer in the home market with 18 goalsSecond only to Brazilian foreign aid Leonardo.
This is the fourth homegrown goalscorer of his careerIt was also the first one after he returned from abroad.
Wu Lei's performance made countless fans cheerIt also made him the absolute main force of the national team.
However, when the national football team encountered strong opponents in the World Preliminary Tournament and the Asian Cup, Wu Lei seemed powerless and lacked goalscoring skillsThere were very few chances to even shoot on goal.
Why is Wu Lei judged two people in the league and the national team? The reason behind this is actually not difficult to understand.
Wu Lei's football road started from Genbao base.
From an early age, he showed exceptional talent and speedIt is known as the hope of Chinese football.
At Shanghai Port, he gradually grew into the heart and soul of the teamIt is also the number one killer of the Chinese Super League.
In 2018, he broke the single-season goal record of 26 goals held by Li Jinyu with an astonishing 27 goalsIt became the first Golden Boot in the history of the Chinese Super League.
His goal not only helped Shanghai Port win the first Chinese Super League title in the club's historyIt also made him the focus of Asian football.
At the end of that year, he accepted the invitation of the Spaniards and embarked on his own European tour.
At Spaniards, Wu Lei has experienced ups and downs.
He scored a goal on his debutbecame the first Chinese player in the history of La Liga.
His speed and movement have given him a certain influence in La LigaIt also made him the main force of the team.
He once scored a brilliant header against Barcelona at the Camp NouThe whole world was shocked.
He also once used a stunner in the last round of La Liga relegation to help Espanyol succeed in relegationLet the Chinese people around the world cheer for it.
However, he has also suffered injuries and slumps, he has not scored many goals and his position is not secure.
He once sparked controversy when he angrily dropped a water bottle after being replaced by the head coach in a game.
He was also snubbed by the head coach for a period of time and didn't even make the squadGot him into trouble.
In August 2022, Wu Lei ended his trip to SpainBack to Shanghai seaport.
Back to the Super League,Wu Lei regained his form and confidence.
He is still the team's top scorer at Shanghai PortHe is also the league's homegrown goalscorer.
His goals are not only in quantity, but also in quality.
His speed and running have made him unbeatable in the Chinese Super League, and he has also made achievements in the AFC Champions League.
His performance has made him the best choice for Lippi and Jankovic in the national team, and it has also made him in the hearts of fansIt has become the hope of the national football team.
However, when the national football team encountered a strong opponent in the international arena, Wu Lei seemed powerless and lacked the skills to score goalsThere were very few chances to even shoot on goal.
Why is Wu Lei judged two people in the league and the national team? In fact, the answer is very simple, first, the overall strength of Shanghai Port is strongAnd the midfield has a world-class star like Oscar to feed it.
Oscar is Wu Lei's best partner, and his passing and playmaking allow Wu Lei to make the most of his speed and movementCreate a lot of shots on goal.
At Shanghai Port, Wu Lei has the most shots on goal in the Chinese Super League, and over the course of a season, he has averaged 6-7 shots per game.
In such a situation, Wu Lei's goals naturally increased.
When it came to the national team, the overall strength dropped a lotWhat's more, no one was able to feed him the ball.
The midfielder of the national football team lacks creativity and organizationIt is difficult to provide effective support to Wu Lei.
In the national team, Wu Lei's number of shots on goal is the least in the international arena, and after a seasonHe averaged just 1-2 shots per game.
In such a situation, Wu Lei's goal,Naturally, there was a decrease.
The second is that there are more shooting opportunities in Shanghai Port, and there are naturally more goals.
When you go to the national team, you can still have a few shooting opportunities when you encounter a weak team, and when you encounter a strong team, sometimes you can't even pass half time, so how can you score? Moreover, Wu Lei was originally a player with poor ability to grasp opportunities.
Wu Lei's shooting efficiency is not high, he needs many shotsto produce a ball.
It was also when he was in the SpaniardsOne of the reasons why there aren't many goals.
In the national team, Wu Lei faces opponents who are often strong teams in Asia and the world, and their defensive ability and tactical levelare much higher than their opponents in the Chinese Super League.
In such a confrontation, it is difficult for Wu Lei to find a gapIt's hard to form a shot that threatens.
Even when he had a shot on goal, he struggled to take it and would often miss or be saved by the goalkeeper.
In the national team, Wu Lei's shooting efficiency is the lowest in the international arena, and he can only produce an average of 0. per game over the course of a season1 ball.
In such a situation, Wu Lei's goal,Naturally, there was a decrease.
So, can Wu Lei make a breakthrough in the national team? It depends on his own effortsIt also depends on the overall level and tactical system of the national team.
Wu Lei's strength is speed and running, and he needs to have the right passing and coordinationin order to exert their own power.
If the national team can improve the control and creativity of the midfield and give Wu Lei more opportunities, then Wu Lei's number of goals,There will also be an increase.
At the same time, Wu Lei also has to improve his shooting efficiency and ability to grasp opportunities, especially when facing strong teams, he can't waste so many good opportunities.
In addition, Wu Lei also has to increase his changes and skills, don't always rely on speed and running, and learn to use his body and intelligence to get rid of the opponent's defense and create more threats.
Wu Lei is a banner of Chinese football, his performance,It directly affects the results of the national football team and the mood of fans.
His myth in the league has made people have high hopes for him,It also made people have higher requirements for him.
His slump in the national team has disappointed peopleIt also made people question him more.
If Wu Lei wants to make a difference in the national team, he must overcome his shortcomings and improve his levelProve your strength.
Only in this way can he truly become the sharpshooter of the national team and the goalless god of the national football team.
