His performance dropped non-stop, the million-dollar star was immediately “cut” by the coach of the Chinese team
“A few days ago, fans were worried about not knowing whether Wu Lei would be called up to the team China participate in the remaining 2 matches of the 2022 World Cup Final Qualifiers or not. Now, a clear conclusion has been made.
Lately, Wu Lei is almost just sitting on the bench in the Espanyol (Spain) club uniform. Therefore, coach Li Xiaopeng has decided to exclude him from China’s call-up list this time.” – sheet sohu (China) reports Wu Lei, China’s second most expensive star ($2.7 million – according to ) transfer sign), will not be on the list of players of the billion-person soccer team that played 2 matches against Saudi Arabia and Oman.
Wu Lei’s main position at Espanyol is on the bench.
Based on sohu, Wu Lei was once an irreplaceable name and always failed to start the Chinese team under coach Li Tie. But when coach Li Xiaopeng was appointed to the hot seat of a billion-person soccer team, Wu Lei no longer had that privilege.
Now, when the 1991-born striker’s performance plummeted, coach Li Xiaopeng decided to drop this player:
“Wu Lei once scored twice against Vietnam in the first leg in China, helping the home team to a 3-2 win. In addition, he also contributed goals against Oman and Australia. Hence, Wu Lei was awarded the award which was considered the key and irreplaceable name of the home team. The Chinese national team and coach Li Tie believes that as long as Wu Lei is not injured, he will automatically have a regular starting position.
However, after coach Li Xiaopeng took over in China, Wu Lei’s core position was shaken. Due to the influence of sitting on the bench for a long time in Spain, Wu Lei has shown very poor form and fitness in recent matches against Japan and Vietnam. Coach Li Xiaopeng was very displeased with Wu Lei’s poor condition. So he decided to disqualify him.”
Wu Lei played weakly in China’s 1-3 defeat against Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium.
Sheet sohu said Wu Lei’s elimination was one of coach Li Xiaopeng’s ways of showing his strength in the Chinese team:
“Coach Li Xiaopeng hopes to build on the strength of the head coach by handing over the top star Wu Lei. This means that if a player is in bad shape, he will be kicked out of the team.
After Wu Lei was eliminated, he needed to reflect on this. Going forward, Wu Lei has to do better in Spain, has to pass and shoot better to be able to represent the Chinese national team again.”
Apart from Wu Lei, China will also not present 4 naturalized players including Elkeson, Luo Guofu, Alan and Fernando in the remaining 2 2022 World Cup Qualification matches.
