"Penalty!! Wu Lei created a penalty for Espanyol!! ”

He Ping shouted excitedly.

This weekend has been a great couple.

Gao Zheng scored twice in Atletico Madrid's match against Real Betis, helping the team beat the opponent 5-1. Real Madrid then beat Barcelona 2-1 away to help Atletico Madrid return to the top of the table.

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

The only pity is that making a penalty 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 doesn't show off his technical statistics......

Although the Malaga players protested to the referee, thinking that Wu Lei was faking a fall, 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.

Sure enough, the protests of the Málaga players were ineffective, and the referee was determined to give the Spaniard a penalty.

Asensio came to take the penalty and calmly slotted the ball into the Malaga goal to give Espanyol the lead again on the road.

In the seventy-third minute, Wu Lei was replaced by head coach Garka in advance.

But at this time, he has no regrets, and he still has a smile on his face when he finishes the game. Garka also took the initiative to shake hands and hug him after he got off the field, and finally patted him on the head before sending him back to the bench, fully showing his love for Wu Lei.

You must know that when Wu Lei first joined the team, Garkaco once thought that Wu Lei was just a water cooler keeper forced into him by the Chinese boss, just to let the Spaniards expand their influence in distant China.

But now he may have realized that Wu Lei did not come to his team on a commercial sponsorship contract, and as a player second only to Gao Zheng in China, he has the strength to gain a foothold in the Spaniards.

※※※

In the end, with the penalty created by Wu Lei, the Spaniard defeated Malaga 2-1 away from home, and won two consecutive victories after beating Athletic Bilbao 2-1 in the previous game.

With the three points in this game, their league points increased to 39 points, and they suddenly surpassed Deportivo La Coruna, Eibar, Real Sociedad and Malaga in the league standings, and went straight from 12th place to eighth, just like the Rockets.

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

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

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

Because it was the penalty that Wu Lei created for the team in the second half that helped Espanyol beat Malaga away.

After the game, there was a video clip of the Spaniard fans cheering for Wu Lei on the Internet, and at a glance, I knew that it was taken by the fans themselves with their mobile phones in the stands, the picture quality was not clear, and they were all shaking, but it was real.

This is the most real emotion of Espanyol fans towards Wu Lei.

When Wu Lei went out to stay abroad, some people sneered that Espanyol fans would look down on Wu Lei, who relied on the Chinese boss to go, and these videos gave those who couldn't kneel down hard.

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

Wu Lei has won the respect and love of Espanyol fans with his actual performance, so he doesn't have to worry about those "kneeling people".

Wu Lei's performance was so good that he won the love of Espanyol fans, but this is not what Chinese fans care about the most.

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

That is the "La Liga China Derby".

It was a trending topic on Weibo that emerged after the match between Espanyol and Malaga.

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

In the 32nd round of La Liga, which is the next round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenges Espanyol away!

Wu Lei is likely to start the next game because of his outstanding performance against Malaga.

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

Because they have to visit Barcelona once before Atletico Madrid visit Barcelona - the Champions League quarter-finals will be played next Tuesday, and Atletico Madrid will first travel to Barcelona in the first leg.

It's entirely possible that Simeone will let Gao Zheng rest in order to better prepare for next Wednesday's return to his home game against Barcelona.

Therefore, this topic is not to discuss the content of the match between Atletico Madrid and Espanyol, but to discuss whether Gao Zheng can play in the game against Espanyol.

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

Some professional reporters and sports influencers believe that in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals before this, there is a situation that may make Simeone hide.

That is, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are inseparable in the first leg, no matter who wins and who loses, the final point difference is very small, and the suspense of promotion still exists.

Then Simeone is likely to let Gao Zheng take turns to rest the league and prepare for the game back at 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 leg of the quarterfinals, the suspense of advancing to the semi-finals disappears, whether it is Atletico Madrid's big loss to Barcelona away or a big win over Barcelona, this situation can be made.

However, considering the actual situation, it may be that the probability of a big defeat to Barcelona will 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.

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

So if you can't meet it this time, you can't meet it, or the Champions League quarter-finals between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are 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 will not be gone in the future......

Although many Chinese fans feel that it will be a pity not to see Gao Zheng and Wu Lei meet, for the sake of Gao Zheng's good, they can still bear this regret.

Wait until next season, Gao Zheng and Wu Lei, who are more adapted to La Liga, will definitely be able to present them with a wonderful Chinese derby!
