Obviously, there is a certain amount of moisture in Xu Genbao’s words. Although Messi had shown considerable talent in the Barcelona youth training camp in 2003, he still did not make his first appearance in the first team. Show, so at the time, Messi was not well-known.

Just like Fati now, you can't see a certain talented young player in China and just say this is "Chinese Fati", right? Therefore, it seemed at the time that it might not be realistic for Xu Genbao to say that Wu Lei was the "Chinese Messi".

Of course, it seems now that although Wu Lei has not reached the height of Messi, within China, he is indeed the "Chinese Messi". Undoubtedly, although Wu Lei's skills at the feet are still relatively rough, but We have to admit that he is already the best player in the country. He can embark on the five major leagues to realize his dream of studying abroad and become the only domestic player who can play in La Liga at this stage. Wu Lei's experience is indeed valuable.

Of course, Wu Lei may have really good talent and explosive power in 2003, but the youth training base where he is located is definitely not comparable to the La Masia youth training camp where Messi is located. , so even if the gap between the two was not very big when they were young, the gap will definitely be huge when they enter the first team. Facts have also proved that Messi is absolutely unique. He has grown up in the best youth training camp and transformed himself into a king on the court.

Messi is able to move to the top of football step by step. On the one hand, external factors have brought him various benefits. Barcelona has trained him unconditionally. On the other hand, Messi has used himself on the court. His perseverance and talent have led to various amazing achievements. Such an amazing resume is not something Wu Lei can compare with. The only thing Wu Lei can do now is to continue to show his abilities in the five major European leagues. While proving his ability to play in the top leagues, he also gives some hope to Chinese players and adds a lot of motivation to the younger generations.
