Yesterday was the 120th anniversary of the establishment of the Espanyol Club. Wu Lei celebrated his club’s birthday on Weibo and wrote a paragraph like this: Working hard now, you can make history.

　　Counting this round of the league, Wu Lei has missed four consecutive rounds due to injury.

This is the first time since studying abroad.

Even with a shoulder injury when he joined, he just had a rest.

　　During Wu Lei's consecutive injury and stoppage, Sun Xingmin scored 8 goals in the first 6 rounds of the Premier League, which also allowed him to catch up with the pace of many predecessors, ranking second in the history of the first six rounds of Premier League goals.

Among them, the fourth round of the second round against Southampton made the global media exclaimed "God of God is down."

　　If you make a longitudinal comparison, only Sun Xingmin has tied the number of goals scored by the two giants, Arsenal and Manchester City (one round less) this season.

Sun Xingmin killed Burnley.

　　As one of the best players in Asian history, Sun Xingmin once again let Chinese fans eat lemons.

　　Last year, Sun Xingmin invested nearly 100 million yuan (17 billion won, or about 99.81 million yuan) to build a sports park in South Korea. This was also done on the advice of his father, Sun Zhengxiong.

　　Sun Zhengxiong told Sun Xingmin that if you use these 17 billion won to buy a house in South Korea, we will live here very comfortably in the future.

But if you build a stadium with these 17 billion yuan and invest in the future Korean football industry, it will have greater value.

Sun Xingyun faces Southampton in a big four.

　　This sports park is currently in operation, and the number of teams registered here has exceeded 20, most of which are youth teams.

According to the ideas of Sun Xiongzheng and Sun Xingmin, this sports park will help those South Korean football teenagers from poor family backgrounds get a better training environment.

　　Excellent tutoring, arduous growth, an inspirational career, and not forgetting to give back to the society after becoming famous, it seems that this Asian king who is like an idol can hardly find any shortcomings in him.

　　As fans of neighboring countries, we always move out of Wu Lei inadvertently to compare him with him-after all, Wu Lei is the only player we can do well.

　　But this season's Wu Lei has spent his time driving high and walking low.

Domestic fans thousands of miles away couldn't help but sweat for him.

　　In addition to completing the pass in the first round of home win over Albacete, Wu Lei is difficult to score.

In the few rounds before the injury, his performance has become more and more sluggish. Spanish media commented that Wu Lei's problem is still the same. The opportunity to score is close at hand, but it is difficult for him to truly capture.

Data map: On January 5, Beijing time, the Spaniards drew 2:2 with Barcelona.

Wu Lei scored in the 88th minute of the game, scoring the Chinese player's first goal against Barcelona and helping the team equalize the score.

　　As in La Liga, "creating murder" and "nearly breaking a goal" have become common words used by the domestic media for Wu Lei's performance on the court.

But in the arena, close by is the end of the world.

　　Seeing that Sun Xingmin next door was out of control, some "radical" fans even suggested that Wu Lei will face greater challenges after his comeback, not only to compete with De Thomas, but also to compete with Prado produced by the team's youth training. , If you continue to stay in Spain and cannot make contributions, it is better to return to the Super League to realize the value of talent.

　　For Wu Lei, this is not fair.

Data map: On February 16, Beijing time, the Spaniards drew with Seville 2:2 in the 24 round of La Liga.

Chinese player Wu Lei made his debut and scored in the 49th minute of the game to help the team lead the game 2:1.

This is also Wu Lei's first league away goal in the season. He had previously scored Barcelona and Getafe goals at home.

　　It is of course unreasonable to force a comparison between two completely different players.

The experience is very different and the environment is far away, enough to have a huge difference in the development of players.

Even if you look at the world, most countries can't find a player that can match Sun Xingmin.

But this does not affect the fans of these countries to enjoy football.

　　Since studying abroad, Wu Lei has created the history of Chinese football time and time again, and the surprises and touches he brought us will not be obliterated because his performance is not as good as Sun Xingmin.

Moreover, this diligent player has been doing his best to rectify the name of Chinese football.

　　In the few games where Wu Lei was absent, the Spaniard’s offense was obviously reduced by a notch. In the face of Vallecano, they shot 0 on goal and only 3 shots. They eventually lost the game and faced Tenerife. They also basically did not threaten the offense.

Even if the pace of scoring slows down, Wu Lei's importance in the team has become clear.

　　Yao Ming’s landing in the NBA has sparked a basketball craze in China, and countless children have stepped onto the basketball court for this reason. Although Wu Lei cannot achieve the influence of changing the domestic football environment for the time being, as long as he is still standing on the court of the five major leagues Let the whole world see the figure of Chinese football.

　　Wu Lei made his debut in West Second Division, and his ratings tied last season's National Derby.

At least because of him, countless Chinese fans have trouble sleeping late at night.

Every bit of influence is going on in subtle ways.

　　"Why is there no Sun Xingmin in Chinese football"?

Chinese football in the trough, Wu Lei, is a blessing.
