Chinese football is currently in a difficult period, and Li Xiaopeng is about to usher in his first big test after becoming the new head coach of the national team, which is the Sino-Japanese battle in the round of 12 at the end of this month. The team also recently announced the latest national football training list, both the number of international football players and the size of the coaching team are the highest in history. Now, Li Xiaopeng once again showed a humane act, and he gave special attention to Li Lei, a popular international who just stayed in Europe!
As we all know, during Li Tie's coaching of the national football team, Wu Lei is the only foreign international footballer in the national football team, he also often shuttles back and forth between the Espanyol team and the national football team, before the first game of the round of 12, Wu Lei, who has always been allowed to report to the national football team before the game, came to the national team many days in advance, and as a result, Li Tie's team ushered in 2 defeats before the round of 12, Wu Lei's appearance time and status in the European arena were also affected, and after that, Wu Lei only came to the team before the national football match!
Now, Li Xiaopeng took office, and the team is different, in addition to Wu Lei, Li Lei also officially went out of the country and joined the Swiss League giants Grasshoppers, he has just joined this team now, following the team to participate in the training, this period of time for the Grasshoppers in the second half of the schedule to determine the main lineup is very critical, Li Lei also hopes to take the initiative to integrate into the team through this period of joint training, as soon as possible to gain the trust of the head coach. The next round of the Swiss Premier League will take place at the end of January!
According to the news revealed by Beijing Youth Daily, Li Lei will enjoy the same special treatment as Wu Lei, that is, to go directly to Japan to compete and be allowed to postpone the training of the national football team, which is also to give Li Lei more opportunities to run in with the new owner. Such a move is enough to prove that the current national football team has indeed made a lot of sacrifices and humane moves in order to let more international footballers play in Europe, and Li Lei has more time to stay in Europe, which is also the result that many fans are looking forward to!
Li Tie once said when he was coaching the national football team that if there is an international player who can be looked up to by European clubs like Wu Lei, he will not hesitate to let him leave the national team, and Li Tie's desire to stay in the foreign international team is very strong. Today, Li Xiaopeng seems to have continued this tradition, and we look forward to more international players going to Europe in the new season, bringing more hope to Chinese football, even if playing in the second-tier league like Li Lei is a big improvement!
