On August 11, the Shanghai Harbor Football Club released the official poster with the theme of "Welcome Wu Lei to Go Home", which officially announced that Wu Lei bid farewell to the La Liga Spaniards, returned to Shanghai Harbor, and will play in the Super League.

As the "hope of the whole village", before that, Wu Lei was the only Chinese player who played for the five major European leagues. On him, he had the expectations of fans. Since the transfer of the Spanish team in early 2019, Wu Lei has also sent us surprise to us.

In the first season of La Liga, Wu Lei participated in 16 games with a appearance time of more than 1,000 minutes. He harvested 3 goals and 1 assists, becoming the largest Asian player in La Liga that season. Despite the second season, the Spanish team was relegated, Wu Lei still handed over a good answer sheet and received 8 goals.

What is unforgettable is that in the last round of La Liga in the 2018-2019 season, a key goal of Wu Lei helped the team qualify for the European War; in the Catalan Derby in La Liga, Wu Lei broke through the goal of the Barcelona team ... Of course, even more pleasingly, Wu Lei, who experienced the polishing of the La Liga, became the absolute "thigh" of Chinese men's football. In the 16 games including the game, they scored 12 goals and sent 3 assists.

Despite the media disclosure, Wu Lei returned to the Super League because of family reasons, but many people believe that Wu Lei could not stay in the Spanish team because of insufficient strength, and this is not groundless. In terms of strength, Wu Lei is indeed not the absolute main force in the Spanish formation. Especially after the Spanish team officially dropped into the past, Wu Lei began to be a substitute. Although there were 31 appearances, there were only 8 starts. In the past 2021-2022 season, the first season of the Spanish team returned to La Liga, Wu Lei completely became a marginal person. It only launched 4 times and only received 2 goals. The data set a new low since it was abroad.

In fact, when Wu Lei, who was 27 -year -old in 2019, decided to stay abroad, he had missed the best time to stay abroad. The five major leagues in this age are limited for a player, but Wu Lei still has made a brave decision, and so far there is no later. This love for football, as well as the valuable professional spirit worth learning from young players who "mixed" in the Super League.

Wu Lei is back, and we still have to give him applause. At the same time, we are also looking forward to having more young players unwilling to be mediocre and courageous to pursue dreams, and become a new hope for the "people in the village".
