what did wu lei say in previous interviews?
before the official training of the national football team on october 4, wu lei had confirmed that he would miss the away game. wu lei was also interviewed on the sidelines. talking about his injury, wu lei said: "i have been resting for the past few days and the pain is relatively strong. i have undergone physical therapy and started jogging these days. i want to recover as soon as possible. it may be difficult to play away games in australia, but i have been training these days. i am still in the team, so i also want to send a message to everyone, that is, i hope to be with the team, and also express the spirit of not giving up when the team returns from australia. after qingdao, i will see if i can return to the team."
when asked, "with both you and alan absent, will it worry the team's offensive line?" wu lei said: "actually, the team has many players with different characteristics. australia is indeed better than us. it's an away game, but the team's mentality will be relatively better. try your best, that is, let go on the court and don't think too much. i think this is the most important thing. in many previous games, everyone had a lot of mental baggage, which would affect the court. to perform well, i think the most important thing is to let yourself go completely.”
when talking about the goals of these two games, wu lei said: "it is too early to talk about qualifying. there are still 8 games to come. the top four in the group will all have the opportunity to enter the next round. play one game at a time and look back in the end. even one point is very important. now we have to try our best in every game. although we lost the first two games, it does not mean that we have no hope at all, because there are still many games.”
