  Chinanews client, Beijing, June 16 (Reporter Xing Rui) With his excellent performance in the final 4 rounds of Group A in the World Preliminary 40, Wu Lei has once again become the object of fans' pursuit.

  As in the first three games, in the early morning of the 16th against Syria, Wu Lei became the key to the victory of the national football team.

He first sent out an assist for Zhang Xizhe, and then scored a penalty kick he made.

After the game, the entry of "Wulei yyds" rushed to the top 5 of Weibo search.

  What is "yyds"?

It turns out that this is an emerging Internet buzzword, which means "eternal god", to point out the performance of the public on behalf of the people.

  The last time Wu Lei had such a fever probably dates back to the beginning of last year, when he broke the Barcelona gate in La Liga.

At that time, Wu Lei had joined Espanyol Football Club for a year.

  For the Spaniards and Chinese fans, it was a period of hope.

Wu Lei's trip to the sea, on the one hand, filled the gaps in Chinese football in the five major leagues over the years, on the other hand, he also helped the Espanyol team to successfully relegation and even reached the Europa League.

  While gaining both in the double line, Wu Lei also scored a perfect goal in the derby with Barcelona.

He used his performance to prove that Chinese players have the ability to find their place in the world's highest level leagues.

Data map: In the final round of the World Preliminary 40 at 2:00 AM on June 16th, Beijing time, with Wu Lei's one pass and one shot and Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Yuning's goals, the national football team defeated Syria 3-1 and succeeded. Advance to the top 12 stage.

  But competitive sports is full of uncertainty.

After a brief moment of highlight, Wu Lei and the team fell into a trough.

  After the end of last season, the Spaniard was relegated to West Second.

Influenced by injuries, Wu Lei's position in the team has become increasingly marginalized.

While losing his attention and praise, Wu Lei encountered many doubts and denials.

There are countless rumors that he will end his overseas study and return to the Super League.

  In response to all kinds of false news, Wu Lei once wrote in his weekly diary: "Stay abroad, I will still use everything I have and go all out."

  In the just-concluded World Preliminary 40 finals, Wu Lei's performance was the most powerful counterattack against all kinds of doubts.

  In the first game against Guam, Wu Lei scored twice and was awarded the best player; then against the Philippines, Wu Lei stepped forward in a difficult time to break the deadlock for the national football team; in the Maldives battle, Wu Lei also scored a goal. ; Coupled with a goal scored in the clash with Syria, Wu Lei scored five goals in four games and became the "Mr. Key" for the national football team to advance to the top 12.

  This eye-catching performance also shows from the side that even if Wu Lei rarely has a chance to start in the Espanyol, this did not affect Wu Lei's competitive state.

The more than two years of studying abroad also brought Wu Lei a lot of progress and growth.

  As the national football coach Li Tie said: “This is the only Chinese player studying abroad. Everyone should see Wu Lei’s progress. Sometimes he plays more, sometimes less, but overall he still gets a lot. After he retired, he brought what he learned back to China so that he could help Chinese football."

  Through these four games, Wu Lei proved the correctness of persisting in staying abroad with his actions.

However, if Chinese football wants to develop in the long term, it undoubtedly needs more "Wu Lei" to go out.

  In addition to his outstanding performance during this period, the fans also look forward to Wu Lei's excellent performance in the top 12.

In addition, after a season of struggle between Wu Lei and his teammates, the Spaniard has successfully returned to La Liga.

Chinese players will appear in the five major leagues next season.
