On April 11th in Beijing, the Euroleague was full of passion, and our two overseas players also showed remarkable strength. Wu Lei scored his first goal of the season in the 31st round of La Liga for Espanyol, while youngster Guo Tianyu made his debut in the Portuguese Premier League. The hard work of these two overseas players has brought a ray of hope to Chinese soccer, which is in the doldrums.
In the match between Espanyol and Celta, Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 66th minute and finally scored the winning goal in the 89th minute to help Espanyol win 1-0. In the whole game, Wu Lei only played 24 minutes, but touched the ball 11 times, shot twice, and all of them hit the target, scoring a goal. In the first 30 rounds of the season, although Wu Lei has been on the roster many times, but only 3 starts, 14 substitutions, the accumulated playing time is only 348 minutes, his persistence has finally been rewarded today.
Hours after Wu Lei's goal, Guo Tianyu, who is on loan from Shandong Taishan to Vizela in the Portuguese Super League, also made his overseas debut against Braga. Guo Tianyu showed a lot of effort and positivity in his 20 minutes of playing time, but clearly needs more time to integrate with the team. Meanwhile, Li Lei, who used to play for Grasshopper in Switzerland, has recovered from his injury and is expected to return to the field at the end of the season.
