Atletico Madrid, who have recovered their form, did not give Rayo Vallecano any chance in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the next Copa del Rey.

Although they drew 1:1 with Rayo Vallecano in the first leg. However, after returning to the home stadium, the rotated Atletico Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 3-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with an aggregate score of 3-1.

Their opponent in the quarter-finals will be Celta Vigo.

Coincidentally, it was the same Vigo Celta that they had just beaten 3-0.

After the next round of the league, it's time for the Copa del Rey.

The schedule is very intensive.

At this time, Wu Lei had already participated in the joining ceremony on the Spaniards' side, but he had not yet played for the Spaniards.

It seems that as speculated by the domestic media and some fans, Wu Lei cannot play as soon as he goes to Espanyol, and he still needs to adapt to a lot of things.

During this time, the focus of Chinese media coverage was also on Wu Lei, and there were far fewer Chinese reporters outside Atletico Madrid's Mahadaonda training base than usual.

In the past, Gao Zheng would be surrounded by many Chinese reporters every time he finished training, but now he only has one or two Chinese reporters as far as he can see.

Everyone else, he knew, had gone to Barcelona.

He has long established himself in Atletico Madrid, and if there is any news, there are also Spanish media to help report it, and the domestic media only need to translate the reports of the Spanish media.

Wu Lei is different, he is new to the city, and too many people are paying attention to his ability to adapt to this new environment. Apart from the Chinese media, the rest of the Spanish media obviously didn't care enough about him. Therefore, it is normal for Chinese media reporters to run to Wu Lei's side.

Compared with Gao Zheng, who has already established himself in La Liga, Wu Lei's fate affects the hearts of domestic fans more.

Gao Zheng's success cannot be replicated, and in their opinion, Wu Lei's experience at the Spaniards may be more valuable for domestic players.

On 17 January, Atletico Madrid took on Las Palmas away, kicking off at the same time as Espanyol's match against Getafe.

However, Wu Lei did not enter the squad at all in this game. This was mentioned by a Chinese journalist at the pre-match press conference, which Espanyol coach Konstantin Galca explained that Wu Lei had not fully adapted to life here and was not ready to play for the team.

So Chinese fans don't have to worry about whether to watch Gao Zheng's game or Wu Lei's game - Wu Lei has no game to play, what to watch?

Let's honestly watch Gao Zheng's game.

Wu Lei, who did not enter the squad, naturally did not go to Madrid with the team to play away games.

He was watching TV at home, but instead of Gao Zheng's game, he watched the match between Espanyol and Getafe.

Although he can't play, he still has to know his team.

He had seen a lot of footage of his new club's games before coming to Spain, but that doesn't mean he can give up on getting to know his team.

Every game is different.

The feeling is even more pronounced when watching the live broadcast.

When he didn't transfer to Espanyol before, he would actually watch Gao Zheng's games, as long as the time was right. Even if the time is not right, if it is a very important game, such as the Madrid derby, he has stayed up late to watch it.

But now that he's a Spaniard, he can't watch the game like a fan like he used to.

Watching Gao Zheng play doesn't help him adapt to everything Espanyol has to offer, and it's better to get to know some of his teammates.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, the latest news of the goal from other games suddenly appeared on the television screen on his side.

Atletico Madrid took a 1-0 lead away at Las Palmas and it was ...... who scored the goal Gao Zheng!

Even if he doesn't pay attention to Atletico Madrid's game, Wu Lei can't help but clench his fists when he sees this news.

Gao Zheng is really strong, for him, scoring goals in a game is as simple as eating and breathing.

And he himself is still working hard to get into the Espanyol squad as soon as possible......

In the 26th minute, Espanyol also took the lead on the road.

Hernan Perez took the lead for the team.

Wu Lei saw the team scoring in front of the TV, and also jumped up and waved his fist, happy for his team's performance. He is now a Spaniard player, so he naturally has to share the glory and disgrace with his team.

However, Wu Lei did not rejoice for long, and three minutes later, the Spaniard was equalized by Getafe, and Pedro León equalized for Getafe.

In the 37th minute, Pablo Saravia put Getafe in the lead.

Since then, Wu Lei has been nervously expecting the Spaniards to pull the score back.

But I waited until the game was almost over, and I still didn't wait.

However, it was Getafe's Moi Gomez who scored Getafe's third goal in the final minute of injury time to help Getafe beat Espanyol 3-1.

This made Wu Lei very depressed.

However, at this time, in China, everyone said that the Spaniards lost well!

Who told them not to take Wu Lei?

Wu Lei's speed and running without the ball are what Spain needs most.

Everyone wants to see the forward combination of Asensio and Wu Lei.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Atletico Madrid beat Las Palmas 3-0 away, with Gao Zheng scoring a goal and providing an assist, while Antoine Griezmann scored twice.

Real Madrid and Barcelona also continue to win, and both by big scores.

Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijón 5-1 and Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 6-0.

Real Madrid, in particular, has quickly won two consecutive victories since Zinedine Zidane, who was replaced by the youth team manager, after sacking Benitez after playing the 18th round of the league, scoring a total of 10 goals and conceding only one goal in the two games.

Real Madrid also swept away the previous decline, tied Barcelona in points, and formed a sandwich attack on Atletico Madrid.

As we enter the second half of the league, the competition is getting fiercer because everyone knows that they are allowed to make fewer and fewer mistakes. If you make a mistake in the first half of the league, or make a few mistakes, it may not be enough, and there is still time to make up for it.

But after the second half of the league, the schedule is getting denser and denser, and there are fewer and fewer games left, and every time you make a mistake, the more expensive it is to make up for it, and then mixed with the Champions League, Copa del Rey and other competitions, you may not even be able to make up for the mistake.

So everyone will avoid making mistakes at such times.

All three teams have lost three games so far, and if they want to win the title, it's best not to lose again.

I can't afford to lose.
