Today, Li Lei officially set off for Zurich to start his journey to stay in the ocean.
Guoan fans sent a banner from the airport, which read: "For the dream, a thousand miles, meet in Beijing in the coming year, cheer for Chinese football!" ”
Li Lei wrote on his personal social media:
I am very grateful to Guoan for my seven years of cultivation, and to Mr. Luo for giving me a high platform, so that I can grow from an obscure player to a member of the national team. Thank you Mr. Zhou for helping me in my difficult time. So now I have the opportunity to play in Europe and realize my childhood dream. Thank you to the Guoan fans for their support over the past seven years. I want to say too much and I don't know where to start. From the first time I made my debut at Gongti, I deeply felt the fan culture in Beijing. It was you who gave me a sense of belonging in Beijing and made me truly consider the city my home. When you're fighting for your home, you put everything second. Chinese football is now in a trough, and I hope that I can contribute to Chinese football. I believe that as long as everyone is united and hardworking, the difficulties will be temporary. As a practitioner, whether it is a peak or a low, I am willing to do my best to care for her without reservation, to love my profession, and not to forget my original intention.
