Wu furthering his Euro education－through good times and bad

Wu Lei is happy to take the rough with the smooth at Espanyol－just as long as it helps him become a better player.

After an impressive debut season in Spain, the Barcelona-based outfit's relegation from La Liga last season threw a spanner in the works, and Wu now finds himself struggling for minutes in Spain's second tier.

The humble and hardworking Wu, though, is clearly not the type to jump ship at the first sign of rocky waters. Even away from the glamour of La Liga, Wu is adamant that his soccer education continues apace in Spain.
