Chinanews Client Beijing, August 17th. The Espanyol Club announced on the 17th that Chinese player Wu Lei officially renewed his contract with the team until June 30, 2024. He will play in the Spanish League next season with the team.
Wu Lei is 28 years old and joined the Spaniard from Shanghai SIPG in January 2019. He has represented the Parrots in 65 official games, scoring 11 goals and 2 assists.
The Spaniard said that after playing for the Spaniard for one and a half seasons, Wu Lei won wide recognition and praise with his outstanding performance and dedicated attitude. He also rejected other teams' invitations and chose to stay behind.

Earlier in an interview with the media, Wu Lei had personally promised that he would stay with the Spaniard next season and follow the team in the West Division. With the official announcement of the Espanyol Club, the drama "Where is Wu Lei?" has come to an end, and he led the team to return to La Liga, which will become the bridge that Chinese fans look forward to in the future.
In the eyes of some fans, the Spaniard is "not worthy" Wu Lei, he should join a better team. Since Wu Lei can break Barcelona's goal, he may be able to "reach the sky in one step."

Unfortunately, the football world does not have wishful thinking, it has its own rules and laws. It seemed that Wu Lei's wisest decision was to stay in the team. To help the Spaniard return to La Liga as much as possible, for Wu Lei, this will not only extend his overseas career, but also earn the title of "Spaniard". This will become a rare experience and experience for Chinese players since studying abroad.
Wu Lei, who stays in the Spaniard, will be one of the pillars of the team's championship. As the team's top scorer this season, Wu Lei has become one of the few players that the Spaniard can rely on.

With Wu Lei's current state, he will lock the Spaniard's striker in a stable starting position next season. By then we can also see how much energy will burst when Wu Lei focuses on the league. The gap between West Second and La Liga is self-evident, and Wu Lei, who has proven that he can gain a foothold in La Liga, is enough to deal with the back of West Second.
Just a few days ago, Wu Lei released a new issue of his personal weekly journal. He once revealed that the Espanyol team has started training for the new season and has an outlook for the new season.

"Monday is the day when the team regroups. For the new coach, I am a little bit hopeful and a little worried. Although I have experienced a lot of adapting to the new coach last year, after all, every coach has his own skills and tactics. The style of play and suitable team type, and more importantly, each coach has his own unique personality, so for me this season is a new beginning." Wu Lei wrote.
Wu Lei looked forward to the new season: "We have already started training for the new season. This will definitely be a complicated and difficult season, but everything will be fine. I hope everyone can have their own'aspirational life'! "
Now that Wu Lei's whereabouts are settled, I wish Wu Lei to be able to, as written in the Spanish club announcement: in the new season, he can continue to ride the wind and waves with the team! (Finish)
