Affected by the international epidemic and other factors, many large domestic companies have experienced a serious decline in their business in the past 2 years, which has also had a chain reaction, directly affecting the operation of the Chinese Super League clubs invested by these companies, and Beijing Guoan, the veteran powerhouse of the Chinese Super League, is one of them.
Last season, guoan's five foreign players have terminated their contracts with the club, and guoan have not been able to replenish enough new signings in time, but signed Brazilian striker Anderson Silva in the summer transfer window.
Guoan, who only played in the second stage of the Chinese Super League with a single foreign aid, can be imagined, and they also withdrew from the ranks of the championship early, and finally only achieved the fifth result of the league.
At the end of last season, Guoan left the team with another international player, li lei, who was the left-back who was playing in the current year. After the expiration of his contract with the club, Li Lei did not renew his contract with the team, but chose to stay in Europe to join the Grasshoppers of the Swiss Super League.
After Li Lei left the team, there was also a huge vacancy in the position of Guoan left back. Therefore, the team urgently needs to bring in a strong left-back player.
Previously, it was rumored that Guoan intended to introduce South Korean international Jiang Xiangyou, who plays for the K League Pohang Iron team. However, according to the latest news from the South Korean media, Guoan's crush is actually South Korean left-back Lee Ji-tei, who currently plays for Suwon Samsung.
Lee Ji-tei, 30, is a South Korean university player who moved to Japan in 2012 to join the J-League's Shimizu Heartbeat Team. After joining the team, Li Jidi, who has a good strength, quickly gained a foothold in the team and became the absolute main force in the team.
This season, Li Jidi represented the Qingshui Heartbeat Team in 41 games in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and having 7 assists.
Successful in the J-League, Lee Soon had a higher ambition to pursue, and in the summer of 2013 he went to the Bundesliga side Augsburg for a trial training session, but ultimately failed to be recognized by the team's coaching staff.
After returning to the J-League, Lee soon moved to Nagoya Whales, but he did not succeed here. He has since joined Australian Premier League side Newcastle Jets on a free transfer. In the Australian Premier League, Li Jidi regained his self-confidence and became the defensive gate in the team. And used his outstanding performance to help the team out of the trough.
Because of his outstanding performance in the Australian Premier League, Lee Ji-tei won the favor of the K-League Ulsan Hyundai team, and in the 2016 season he transferred to the K-League team for a value of 310,000 euros. After playing for Ulsan Hyundai for 2 seasons, Lee Ji-tei transferred to Suwon Samsung and has played for it ever since.
Li Jidi is a left-footed player, he is not only physically strong and defensive, but also has excellent footwork, often using breakthroughs from the wing in the game to deliver high-quality crosses to his teammates. In addition, his free kick skills are also quite good, and he has used direct free kicks to break through the opponent's door in both the J League and the K League.
Last season, Lee Kee-tei, the team's absolute mainstay, played for Suwon Samsung in 38 K-League games, scoring 5 goals and assisting 5 assists. The super attack power also made him win the title of "defender with knife". Due to his outstanding performance in the league, Li Jidi also won the title of MVP last season and was selected for the best 11-man squad in the K League.
It can be said that the technical characteristics of Li Jidi are very suitable for the current national security team, his defensive ability is not inferior to Li Lei, and his offensive ability is stronger than Li Lei. If Guoan can sign him, the strength of the team's left wing offensive and defensive ends can be greatly improved.
In the past few years, the Guoan team has brought in two South Korean players, Ha Dae-sung and Kim Hyun-jae, who have both achieved great success in Guoan. Therefore, many fans are also very optimistic about the future of Li Jidi in Guoan. I hope that the South Korean defender can help the Guoan team out of the trough next season and re-enter the league championship ranks.
