Accordingly, Ma Dexing suggested that the most practical current expectation is for Wu Lei to perform well in the knockout stage. However, there are a lot of doubts in this point of view of Ma Dexing. First of all, Wu Lei's outstanding performance in the harbor can not be directly equated with his performance in the national team. From the point of view of individual quality and skill level of players, there is a significant gap between local players and foreign players in adapting to different tactics and skills, therefore, from an objective point of view, the actual performance of Wu Lei in the national team is not as good as the outside world expects.
Furthermore, although Wu Lei's performance and goal scoring numbers this season deserve to be recognized, the Chinese Super League is no longer an era of foreign aid dominance. Numerous foreign aiders rarely shine. The fact that Wu Lei has been able to outperform these foreign aiders does not mean that his current level has reached the top.
In addition, Wu Lei in the Chinese Super League to achieve a high number of goals, largely due to the harbor midfield configuration of the strong, Oscar and Vargas precision passes for Wu Lei to create excellent scoring opportunities. In fact, the weak midfield power has become the short board in the national football lineup.
Therefore, if the national football team fails to introduce new naturalized players in the knockout stage and relies only on Wu Lei to charge forward, then the national football team can almost say goodbye to the World Cup.
