April 12, our time - La Liga, 31st round.
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
Coming on as a substitute, a brilliant strike ended his 666-day goal drought in La Liga, a scene captured and praised by Tianjin Daily.
Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 66th minute of the match between Spaniards and Celta. In the last minute of the game, he hit a precise shot to seal the victory for his team. This victory not only allowed the Spaniards to complete the relegation task ahead of schedule, but also added a colorful chapter to Wu Lei's personal career.
However, behind this victory, Wu Lei's situation in Spaniards is still worrying. This season, his playing time has been sharply reduced, and he is no longer the team's main force, not even counted as a backup main force. At home and abroad, about Wu Lei return to the domestic call is getting higher and higher, but Wu Lei chose to stick to the position, and finally responded to the question with this key goal.
Although this victory has improved Wu Lei's situation at Espanyol, overall, his path to stay in the world is still full of thorns. The goal did not completely change his plight to stay in the ocean, but it also reminds us that Wu Lei's technical characteristics have been stereotyped, all he can do is to maintain good condition and mentality. Just as Wu Lei used his efforts to prove to the world: no matter how bumpy the road ahead, as long as the persistence, will usher in the reward.
