In 2022, the Chinese Super League further returns to rationality, and since the loss of a number of big-name foreign aides last season, naturalized players and local excellent players will also be exiled. Before the winter window was opened, naturalized players such as Gaulat, Axon and Luo Guofu took the lead in confirming their departure from Guangzhou, and they may go to the Baliga or go to Europe to develop; Li Lei, a local excellent defender, officially confirmed his travel to Europe and joined the Swiss super traditional giant Zurich Grasshopper.
Li Lei's Liuyang, like Wu Lei, has a strong replicability, because they are very pragmatic, matching teams that match their own capabilities, and have a Chinese-funded background, this development model is expected to be widely copied, promoting more local players to stay in The Yang. On January 4, Beijing time, Li Lei arrived in Zurich by plane and officially entered the Grasshopper Club; on January 5, Li Lei quickly entered the training without stopping.
After completing the training yesterday, Li Lei updated the social dynamics, saying: "For tomorrow's three exercises a day, eat a piece of fish that I don't know what to call." Collectively referred to as fish. "The feed is accompanied by food photos. It can be seen that the training pace of grasshopper club is very fast, Li Lei needs to adapt to this new mode of three exercises a day, and also to maintain a good competitive state, the reason is that grasshopper has no competition task recently and is in the winter break.
According to the schedule, grasshoppers played the 18th round of the Swiss Super League on December 19, 2021, and did not play until January 30, 2022, when they played away to Sion, and on February 6, grasshoppers ushered in the 20th round of matches, home to Zurich. Such a schedule arrangement means that Li Lei's debut after joining grasshoppers will be postponed until February, and he needs to give priority to the national football team, which will play against Japan on January 27 and Vietnam on February 1, both of which are World Preliminary Tournament matches, and Li Lei, as a popular international, will most likely fly directly to Japan to meet the national football team around January 23.
Therefore, Li Lei will usher in his debut in the Swiss Super League on February 6 on behalf of Grasshopper. According to the tactical system of grasshoppers this season, Li Lei can compete for the start, and coach Giorgio Contini is good at using the 3-centre-back system, similar to Guoan's squad system, Li Lei can quickly adapt.
Competition in the same position, Li Lei can become the team's number one left wingback, "De Zhuan" is worth 580,000 euros, is the most expensive player in the same position, the recent grasshopper left wingback Schmid only has a value of 300,000 euros, age 23, stable form, 16 games (including 12 starts) 0 goals and 3 assists; the previous starting left winger Lenjani only has a value of 200,000 euros, aged 32 years old, in excellent form, 15 games (including 9 starts) 0 goals and 5 assists. However, both are midfielders who make cameo appearances on the flanks and belong to the full-fledged midfielders, and Li Lei, as a full-back, is expected to be the starter directly. Considering that grasshopper number one midfielder Jun Kawabe, who has scored 4 goals and assisted 2 times in 16 games this season, has moved to Wolves, Renjani and Schmid are likely to return to midfield and continue to start.
