Recently, Chen Yansheng, the head of the salon of the Spaniard club, commented on Wu Lei in an interview, noting that his work ethic was exemplary and that he only received a meager salary when he joined the Spaniard in the early stages.
Talking about Wu Lei's first time at Espanyol, Chen Yansheng commented, "Personally, I think Wu Lei's joining is very positive, he's a real professional player who always trains spontaneously."
In addition, Chen Yansheng also revealed, "Since last season, Wu Lei's playing time has been reduced, and he expressed his willingness to return to his home country so that the club can have more room for maneuvering in the summer transfer window, and he believes that his career as a foreigner is nearing its end."
Chen Yansheng also praised Wu Lei's spirit of challenge, "When Wu Lei came to Spaniards, he was already the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League and a key scorer for the national team, and the club was in the critical period of winning the championship, which should have been a good time for a pay rise, but he chose to accept a much lower salary and joined Spaniards."
Regarding the Chinese men's soccer team's failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Chen Yansheng said, "In recent years, the development of Chinese soccer seems to have suffered a bottleneck, and there has been a lack of investment in the field of soccer."
