Chinanews client, Beijing, November 3 (Zhang Yifan) After 23 days of waiting, Wu Lei finally returned to the court, and his role has changed from a starter to a substitute.
He has been out of the battle line for a long time and has yet to find his form. Looking back at the team’s maturing combination of strikers, can he pass the difficult test again?
In the early morning of the 3rd, Beijing time, the Spanish in the 10th round of the Spanish League played against Malaga.
In the first half, Embalba's blitz was successful, and he changed sides to fight again. Embalba and De Thomas passed each other to score.
Wu Lei returned from injury and came off the bench in the 82nd minute.
In the end, the Spaniard defeated Malaga 3-0.
In the more than 8 minutes of his debut, Wu Lei did not get too many opportunities for performance. He had 3 touches and 2 passes in the game and all succeeded. It can be seen that Wu Lei, who has come back, is still actively adapting to the rhythm of the game. .
Troubled by injuries, Wu Lei, who made his debut in the first five rounds of West Division this season, began to hang up the "free card" from the sixth round.
During his absence, the Spaniard has 4 matches, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and has climbed to the top of the West Division League table.

As the "hope of the whole village", Wu Lei's injury affects the close attention of domestic fans.
In the past two decades, Chinese fans can only wait for the team roster to be released before the Spaniard’s game begins.
If Wu Lei's name does not appear, I can only sigh secretly when my hopes fail.
From the record point of view, in the absence of Wu Lei, the Spaniard's striker undoubtedly withstood the test.
Despite this, the team coach Moreno has repeatedly emphasized in interviews that the team's striker still needs Wu Lei.
Whether it is a starter or a substitute, Wu Lei is a sharp sword for the team. From the perspective of enriching the offensive system, his return from injury is also a great benefit for the team.
On February 16, Beijing time, the Spaniards drew with Seville 2:2 in the 24th 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 score 2:1.
This is also Wu Lei's first league away goal this season. He had previously scored Barcelona and Getafe goals at home.
On February 16, Beijing time, the Spaniards drew with Seville 2:2 in the 24th 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 score 2:1.
This is also Wu Lei's first league away goal this season. He had previously scored Barcelona and Getafe goals at home.
However, the impact of injuries on players is very subtle.
From the beginning of his overseas career, Wu Lei has not been out for such a long time.
After more than 20 days of intensive schedule, the Spaniard found a new combination of strikers.
The performance of Embalba, Puado, De Thomas and others also made the Spaniard occupy the first place in the standings.
Winning is not terrible, and whoever lacks is embarrassing.
I don't know if Moreno's assessment of the current lineup will change after going through the past few rounds.
But as far as the law of professional football is concerned, if a set of lineups perform consistently well, in principle, the coach will not make too many adjustments to it.
Under the new coach Moreno's system, Wu Lei was the regular main force of the team at the beginning of the season, which also proved his tactical status in Moreno's eyes.
In the past two years, the Spaniard has changed many coaches, and Wu Lei can always become a regular main force. He has used his diligence on the field to win the trust of the coach.
On January 5, Beijing time, La Liga ushered in the Catalan derby. The Spaniard drew 2:2 at home against the invading 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.
For Wu Lei, he has to face this competitive battle, and he has to face it.
For forwards, goals are everything.
This is what Moreno is willing to see. If the players have a strong sense of competition, then he doesn't have to worry about the team's hard work on the court.
Due to the postponement of the overall European schedule last season, the next La Liga schedule is still very dense.
For the Spaniards, Wu Lei's timely recovery from injury is good news. They have more choices in the formation of troops.
For Wu Lei, this is also an opportunity worth seizing.
The picture shows Wu Lei celebrating his goal.
The world preliminaries will start in March next year, and the current team qualifying situation of the national football team is not optimistic.
Any next game is a tough battle that must be won.
Despite the support of the naturalized players, Li Tie's formation has more options.
But as an indispensable member of the striker, Wu Lei's state determines the fate of the national football team to a certain extent.
Whether it is for Wu Lei or the national football team, next year will be a crucial year.
However, Wu Lei must face the immediate test. Only by overcoming the current predicament can he be qualified to talk about the future.
If he can seize the opportunity in future games, Wu Lei still has great hopes to return to the starting position.
Since studying abroad, Wu Lei has experienced numerous difficulties.
And he also overcome one by one, and surprise the fans with a more excellent performance.
I believe this time, Wu Lei, who has returned from injury, is ready to meet the challenge.
