At 22:15 Beijing time on April 10, the 31st round of the Spanish Primera Liga kicked off with an exciting match between Espanyol and Celta at the RCDE Stadium. In this match, Chinese player Wu Lei came on as a substitute in the 67th minute and completed the shutout in just 22 minutes, capping off his first goal of the La Liga season with a spectacular goal. After 666 days to return to the five major leagues into the stadium, Wu Lei's achievement has triggered widespread concern. Han Qiaosheng said in an April 11 commentary:
On April 11th, Spaniards beat Celta with a score of 1:0, in the focus of the game, the Spaniards only had 2 shots on goal, and these 2 shots were completed by Wu Lei. 666 days of waiting, Wu Lei's goal as a relief! In the 66th minute, the substitute Wu Lei finally ushered in his own moment. It is this substitution adjustment, let the Spaniards renewed vigor, in the 89th minute, Wu Lei with a wonderful kill lock the victory. In the game, Wu Lei showed excellent scrambling, passing, shooting and running ability, although there was also a lost opportunity, but his mentality was always stable, insisted to the end of the game.
Although Wu Lei is only a marginal substitute in the team, his goal may not change the situation of the team immediately. However, I believe that Wu Lei will continue to keep working hard and cherish every opportunity to appear on the bench! When you are not expected by others, fighting is the right choice! Come on, Wu Lei! Work harder! Give it all you've got!
