On December 20, Beijing time, the Swiss Super League team Zurich Grasshopper officially announced that the 29-year-old international of Beijing Guoan will officially join the team in January next year, and he is The left-back Li Lei, who has been exposed by the media to stay in The Ocean.
Li Lei joined Beijing Guoan from Henan Jianye in the 2015 season for a transfer fee of 650,000 euros. So far, he has made 138 appearances for Beijing Guoan, contributing 4 goals and 12 assists. And followed Beijing Guoan in the 2018 season, won the Chinese Football Association Cup. Due to his outstanding performance in the 2019 Chinese Super League and his rare left-foot left-footed left-back among current Chinese players, he was favored by the head coach of the national team, selected for the national football team and participated in the China Cup.
In the 2021 season, he was recruited by Li Tie again into the national football team, and started in the World Preliminary Round of 40, the national football team won 5-0 against the Maldives and played the whole game. Although Li Lei is not the main force of the iron in the national football team, he is definitely the first left-back candidate of Beijing Guoan at the club. According to media reports, Li Lei's performance once attracted the attention of the Guangzhou team when the arrogance was full of arrogance. However, the olive branch thrown by the Guangzhou team was ruthlessly broken by Li Lei. Today, at the age of 29, he chooses to stay in the West to train and is also a young man with lofty ideals.
If, in the Swiss Super League, Li Lei can play a game, or even play the main force. Then, his physical fitness and self-confidence will definitely be greatly improved, and when he returns to the national football team, he will inevitably be as strong as Wu Lei and become the core of the team's defense. At that time, the national football team will form a "double Lei" combination of one after the other. Before, the siege of the city. After that, the deep wall is solidified.
Of course, this is the future that can be imagined when Li Lei can play the ball or play the main force. If, after staying in Yang Ruichao, Li Lei, like the current Wu Lei, can only be promoted in the training ground. I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the national football team to get the main position. At that time, don't say that it is a player facing a strong Asian team, or facing teammate Arthur Junmin, I am afraid that I will be overtaken again.
Ridiculing is ridicule, personally Li Lei's stay in the ocean is still very optimistic, this optimism is due to Li Lei's clear positioning of himself and the courage to dare to go out. Recently, Li Lei was asked in an interview with the media why he chose to stay in the West at the age of 30? Li Lei said: When I was a child, I had the dream of playing abroad. It is not easy to get this opportunity at this age, and it is not easy to get old without going out." After that, I was asked why I didn't choose the five major leagues. Li Lei said: I am not capable enough.
In other words, it is not easy to put down "all" in the year of establishment and go overseas alone, as a comfortable and accustomed Chinese player. And Li Lei can clearly understand himself, and choosing Ruichao is even more valuable. I hope that he can break through the world in the Swiss Super League, set an example for other Chinese players, and don't always stare at the top 5 leagues. Because, our strength is really not enough!
