Terrible condition

  Remember in one second

  "Martins will definitely be sent on in the second half, whether we are leading or trailing, Wu Lei's return to this match is a done deal!" Kristian said with great certainty.

  Nuno Gomes stared at him with a look of astonishment, wondering where the host's confidence came from. Fortunately, the TV screen had already switched to the live scene and did not capture Gomes' strange expression at that moment.

  Both teams have lined up and come onto the field. Wu Yu is following behind the starting players, chatting with Jorge as they walk into the stadium.

  The home stadium of Académica de Coimbra is not large, smaller than Marítimo's Estádio dos Barreiros, with a capacity for only 9,800 spectators.

  Despite this, the stands were still not fully filled, with an occupancy rate of only about 80%. It can be seen that the Portuguese Super League, apart from a few popular teams, has a relatively poor market for other teams.

  Wu Yu did not mind that his comeback match was held in such a simple stadium, although he would have preferred to prove himself again in front of tens of thousands of spectators, and he was not afraid of the pressure.

  The match went very smoothly, everything went as Martínez had imagined before the game. Marítimo quickly took a two-goal lead, and Wu Lei warmed up on the sidelines after coming out in the second half.

  In the second half, Wu Yu took off his warm-up vest and stood by the court, ready to play, while Jorge was beside him, explaining the team's tactical deployment.

  "Okay, Wu Lei is about to take the field, he's going to replace Artur. Let's give a round of applause for this Chinese wonder kid Wu Lei, who won the best young player in the Portuguese Super League last season and has returned to the pitch after struggling with injuries!" Cristiano exclaimed as he watched Wu Lei appear on TV.

  In a bar in Funchal, Marítimo fans watched the big TV on the wall, which was showing Wu Lei preparing to enter the field. The originally noisy bar suddenly fell silent. They didn't know how to face the man who led the team to the top of honor last season but almost joined Tottenham in the summer.

  One or two half-drunk men used ambiguous language to scold Wu Yu for a couple of sentences, while others chose to remain silent, quietly watching the TV screen.

  Wu Yu listened to Huerka's words while watching Artur slowly running towards him in the field, but he felt extremely familiar. This scene had appeared a year ago when Wu Yu was still a rookie in the professional football world. Today's comeback match, however, marked his return to this stage that made him famous as the best newcomer of last season's Portuguese Super League.

  "Come on!" Artur, who had been substituted out, gave Wu Yun a light high-five and cheered him on.

  Wu Yu and Artur high-fived, looked at the lawn in front of them, took a step forward with his right foot, slightly bent down, and lightly brushed his palm on the ground.

  "I'm back again!"

  After the previous game, Wu Yun quickly ran to the front waist position and formed a double front waist partner with Dicko. According to Martins' arrangement, Dicko slightly lagged behind, and Wu Yun appeared in a more forward position.

  。

  After coming on, Wu Yu was very active and frequently retreated to get the ball, but his teammates seemed to have no intention of passing it to him. After the defender got the ball, they basically passed it to Dicko or directly kicked it long to Dili up front.

  Sometimes even when Wu Yu runs out of space, he would rather pass the ball to his teammate on the side. Only Dick O and Quaresma are willing to cooperate with Wu Yu after getting the ball. Without the ball at his feet, Wu Yu, no matter how strong his ability is, cannot make an outstanding performance.

  "Ah, Wu Yong has been out of the game for a long time, and it seems that his condition is not good. His teammates are not very willing to pass the ball to him." Chris said with some regret.

  "That's right, after Wu Yong came on, Maridimo was even worse in terms of controlling the game, and Coimbra University team could also counterattack." Nuno Gomes echoed.

  Wu Yu ran around on the court for over ten minutes, only to find that his teammates still didn't trust him and didn't pass the ball to him, which made him feel a bit anxious.

  "Wu Yu, catch!" Dick's voice came from beside him.

  Wu Yu was awakened by a drink, and Dickao's pass had already arrived at his feet. He didn't have much time to process it, and the ball bounced out about one meter away after a brief stop of his foot arch. At this time, the opponent's midfielder rushed over and cut off Wu Yu's ball.

  "Oh! Wu Yu was blocked, his condition today is really terrible!" Kristin couldn't help but complain a little.

  "What the hell! Why did Martins put him on?"

  "He should be sold in the summer!"

  “……”

  Fans of Marítimo in the stands at Estádio dos Barreiros jeered and scolded Wu Lei after his low-level mistake led to a goal being conceded.

  "Damn it!" The skin ball was cut off, and Wu Yu just reacted. And because he retreated a bit too far back, as soon as the other side cut off the ball, they immediately formed a great counterattack opportunity.

  Wu Yu didn't want to lose the ball due to his own mistake, he couldn't bear such pain again. So after the ball was cut off, he immediately counter-attacked, and before the opponent's midfielder could pass the ball, he made a sliding tackle from the side rear, knocking both the opponent and the ball to the ground.

  Beep!!

  The referee's sharp whistle sounded, and Wu Yu was penalized for a foul.

  He quickly ran over and gave Wu Yu a yellow card without hesitation as a warning.

  Wu Yu also knew that he couldn't avoid eating the yellow card, so he could only shrug his shoulders and walk away in dismay. Since he had made a mistake, he should take responsibility for it; otherwise, his teammates would have an even greater prejudice against him.

  Martins on the sidelines looked at Wu Yu being shown a yellow card by the referee, with his eyebrows furrowed and mouth shut.

  "This is disastrous!"

  "Dick is much better than him!"

  "How can he proactively apply for a yellow card? Doesn't he trust our defenders?"

  “……”

  After Wu Yu was shown a yellow card, the bar of Fengshai was still full of complaints. It seems that no matter how Wu Yu performed, it's hard to avoid criticism and scolding from these fans.

  In the next game, Wu Yu was more cautious due to his yellow card, and his teammates were reluctant to pass the ball to him. Fortunately, the University of Coimbra's attacking power was not strong, and Marítimo eventually maintained a 2-0 lead, smoothly earning three points.

  "This is Wu Yu's first game back after two and a half months of rest due to injury, it seems that his performance in this game was not very good, maybe he has been away from the competition for too long." Kritin analyzed after the game.

  "But if you want to be a top player, you have to be ready to play at any time, even if you've been out for a year with an injury. When you come back, you have to make a thrilling performance. If Wu Lei wants to become a top player, he must show more competitiveness in future matches!" Nuno Gomes added.

  "Anyway, we look forward to Wu Yu's performance in the future and believe that this Chinese genius won't let us down!" Kristin remained optimistic.

  After this poor performance, Wu Lei was not included in the squad for the next Portuguese League Cup match, and it is clear that Martins was also not very satisfied with his condition.

  After adjustment, Wu Yun re-entered the league at home as a substitute, but his performance was still poor. Whether it was coordinating with teammates or his own state, he was far from reaching last season's level. When he took the ball on the field, he even drew waves of boos from the home fans, making him more uncomfortable.

  。

  In the next two games, Wu Yu started both times, although his condition improved slightly, but the criticism from fans and media did not stop. Especially in the away game against Porto, he had a dismal performance without any highlights, and was substituted at halftime, making him the scapegoat for losing that game.

  In the few rounds of Wu Yu's comeback and poor performance, due to the incompatibility between Wu Yu and Dyke, Maritimo's midfield organization was quite chaotic, and they fell to sixth place in the standings, not even counting the European war zone, let alone competing for a Champions League spot.

  The poor performance made all fingers point at Wu Yu.

  After several mediocre performances by Wu Lei, Martínez seemed to have lost patience with him. On November 15, in the 11th round of the league, in the derby match between Marítimo and Nacional, Wu Lei was left out of the squad.

  Without Wu Lei's Malaga, Maridimo won at home against arch-rivals Nacional, halting their decline.

  The day after the match, Wu Yun walked on the streets of Funchal, not only did the fans of Nacional, his arch-rivals, cast hostile and mocking glances at him, but even some Marítimo fans waved the team's flag in front of him, shouting: "Get out, the team doesn't need you anymore, go to hell in London!"

  The jeers from the Maradona fans were what pained Wu Yu the most. He had not expected that his efforts to return to the pitch would be met with hostility from both fans and teammates, as if all his hard work had been in vain, flowing away like a river of spring water.

  Boas was sitting in Levy's office at Tottenham Hotspur's training base in London.

  "It's said that Wu Yunfu has escaped," Lefebvre said.

  "Yes, but he was in terrible shape after his comeback." Boas said with a frown.

  "Do you still need him?"

  "No need now, Eriksen is in good condition and we have enough midfielders in the team, let's talk about it next summer."

  "Let's observe him for a while longer, we spent too much time on him this summer, we must make some moves in the winter transfer window to further strengthen the team's lineup." Lippi analyzed.

  Boas didn't respond, just nodded slightly.
