Has gone little by little Wu Lei assuming heights of prominence in Espanyol, despite coming from a Second Division in which he had finished the season as a supporting actor. The attacker, decisive in final minutes of the victory against Alavés –Despite his folly in the last few meters–, even regained ownership against a powerful rival like Sevilla –In band, although in reality centered and almost as a second striker– and, despite the fact that his obligations urged him to abandon the perica discipline this week, except for a setback he stays to measure himself with Real Madrid.
As happened before the break for international commitments at the beginning of September –then the Mallorca-Espanyol was lost–, Wu Lei had planned to join the Chinese team mid-week, that by not having more footballers from the European Leagues lI've spent a month working out in full in the United Arab Emirates, specifically in Sarja, where on Thursday, October 7, they will play a highly anticipated final against Vietnam to attend the Qatar World Cup-2022. However, this time the idea – of the club, the coach and the player – is to stay in Barcelona and is available to Carlo Ancelotti.
The forecast is that, after Espanyol-Real Madrid on Sunday (4:15 p.m.), Wu Lei addresses directly to the airport to travel to Dubai, where he would arrive at dawn to join their team's training sessions on Monday morning, which with zero points after two games – Australia's 3-0 and Japan's 0-1 – is forced to beat Vietnam to retain any hope of going to the Worldcup.

Wu Lei's hope in the first place is different: to have a new opportunity against Madrid and, if possible, finally focus his battered aim. The chinese player has not stopped: He barely had a vacation, in the break he returned to Barcelona in the wee hours and went directly to train – Espanyol-Atlético de Madrid is the only game in which he has not had minutes due to a technical decision – and now the wheel is turning again, between the whites and, without even sleeping, their journey to join their national team.
