"Penalty!! Wu Lei created a penalty for the Spaniard!!"

He Ping shouted excitedly.

Good things come together this weekend.

Gao Zheng scored twice in Atletico Madrid's match against Real Betis, helping the team beat the opponent 5:1. Then Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2:1 away, helping Atletico Madrid return to the top of the standings.

Now Wu Lei has played brilliantly in the league again, creating an assist for the team.

The only pity is that making a penalty kick in La Liga does not count as an assist, otherwise Wu Lei would have two assists now.

It's a pity that making this penalty kick can't be reflected in his technical statistics...

Although the Malaga players protested to the referee, thinking that Wu Lei was diving, judging from the slow-motion replay, the Malaga players did kick Wu Lei, so it is reasonable and reasonable for Wu Lei to fall to the ground. that's it.

Sure enough, the protests of the Malaga players were invalid, and the referee unswervingly gave the Spaniard a penalty.

Asensio came to take the penalty and calmly fired the ball into Malaga's goal to give Espanyol another lead away from home.

In the 73rd minute, Wu Lei was replaced by head coach Galka in advance.

But at this time, he has no regrets, and he still has a smile on his face when he ends up. Galka also took the initiative to shake hands and hug him after he left the field, and finally patted him on the head before sending him back to the bench, which fully demonstrated his love for Wu Lei.

You must know that when Wu Lei first joined the team, Galcaco once thought that Wu Lei was just a water dispenser guard forced on him by the Chinese boss, just to allow the Spaniard to expand his influence in distant China.

But now he may have realized that Wu Lei did not come to his team based on a commercial sponsorship contract. As the player in China who is currently second only to Gao Zheng, he is fully capable of gaining a foothold in the Spaniard.

※※※

In the end, with the penalty kick made by Wu Lei, the Spaniard defeated Malaga 2:1 in the away game. After defeating Athletic Bilbao 2:1 in the previous game, he won two consecutive victories.

After scoring three points in this game, their league points increased to 39 points, surpassing Deportivo, Eibar, Real Sociedad and Malaga in the league standings.

From the original twelfth place to the eighth place, it was like riding a rocket.

There is only one place away from the European theater, nine points short.

But with seven rounds left in the league, it's not completely hopeless.

This result made the Espanyol fans cheer and sing praises for Wu Lei.

Because it was the penalty kick that Wu Lei made for the team in the second half that helped the Spaniard beat Malaga away.

After the game, there were video clips of Spaniard fans cheering for Wu Lei on the Internet. At first glance, it was clear that the fans themselves used their mobile phones to shoot in the stands. .

This is the truest feeling of Espanyol fans towards Wu Lei.

When Wu Lei went abroad to study abroad, some people sneered and thought that Espanyol fans would look down on Wu Lei who relied on his Chinese boss to go, and these videos slapped those who could not afford to kneel.

In this world, strength is the best way to earn respect.

Wu Lei has already won the respect and love of the Espanyol fans with his actual performance, so those "kneeling people" don't need to worry about it.

Wu Lei performed so well and won the love of the Espanyol fans, but this is not the most important thing for Chinese fans.

So although the video of the Spaniard fans singing praises and cheering for Wu Lei appeared on the domestic Internet, the popularity is far less than that of another topic.

That is the "La Liga Chinese Derby".

This is a hot topic on Weibo after the Espanyol game against Malaga.

And what this topic describes is not the "derby" between Gao Zheng and the new Chinese owner of the Spaniard, Mr. Chen. This time it is the real meaning of the derby, which expresses the meaning of direct dialogue between two Chinese players in La Liga. .

In the thirty-second round of La Liga, which is the next round of the league, Atletico Madrid will challenge the Spaniard away!

Because of Wu Lei's outstanding performance in the game against Malaga, he is likely to get the chance to start the next game.

But whether Gao Zheng can appear in this game is still uncertain.

Because before Atletico Madrid visits Barcelona, ​​​​they have to visit Barcelona once-the Champions League quarter-finals will start next Tuesday, and Atletico Madrid will challenge Barcelona away in the first round.

It is entirely possible that Simeone will let Gao Zheng rest in order to better prepare for the home game against Barcelona next Wednesday.

So this topic is not about the content of the match between Atletico Madrid and the Espanyol, but about whether Gao Zheng can play against the Espanyol.

Compared with the attitude of the Spaniard fans towards Wu Lei, Chinese fans are more concerned about whether the two can face each other in the next round of the league and stage a real "Chinese derby".

Some professional reporters and sports big V analyzed that in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals before this, there was a situation that might make Simeone hide Gao Zheng.

That is the inseparable battle between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the first round. No matter who wins or loses, the final point difference is very small, and the suspense of promotion still exists.

Then Simeone is very likely to let Gao Zheng take a break from the league to prepare for the game back home.

In addition, there is another situation that can greatly increase Gao Zheng's chances of playing in the league, that is, after the first round of the quarter-finals, the suspense of advancing to the semi-finals disappears. Losing to Barcelona by a score, or beating Barcelona by a big score, can make this happen.

But considering the actual situation, the probability of losing to Barcelona by a big away score may be higher...

So if Chinese fans hope that Gao Zheng and Wu Lei can have a "Chinese Derby" in La Liga, it means that Atletico Madrid is likely to be eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League.

And this is what Chinese fans don't want to see.

Some people have already said on Weibo that as long as Wu Lei has a firm foothold in the Espanyol this season, the two of them will definitely meet in La Liga next season.

So if you don't meet this time, you won't meet it. The quarter-finals of the Champions League between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is more important.

In order for Gao Zheng to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in his career, it doesn't matter if the Chinese Derby is not played, anyway, it won't be gone in the future...

Although many Chinese fans feel that it will be a bit regretful not to see Gao Zheng and Wu Lei meet, but for the good of Gao Zheng, they can bear this regret.

By next season, Gao Zheng and Wu Lei, who is more adapted to La Liga, will definitely present them with a wonderful Chinese derby!
