Among the many national football players, in addition to Wu Lei, who played for Espanyol in La Liga, which has attracted the attention of fans, there is also a Chinese player Li Lei who plays in the Swiss Super League, which has also received the attention of many fans.
Two days ago, it was the third anniversary of Wu Lei's first goal in Liuyang, when the Spaniard won 3-1 against Valladolid. It was Wu Lei's first goal and the first goal of a Chinese player in La Liga. Today, 3 years later, Li Lei wore the No. 4 jersey and started the Swiss Super Grasshoppers.
This match is the 24th round of the Swiss Super League, and it is also the first time that Chinese player Li Lei has played for the grasshoppers for the team and played a full game. In the end, the Grasshoppers lost 1-2 to Lugano and could only temporarily occupy 8th place in the Swiss Super Table.
In the 69th minute and 02 seconds of the game, Li Lei received a ball that his teammates snatched from the opponent's goal and passed it. Li Lei took the ball and directly lifted his left foot to shoot long-range. Originally, I wanted to catch the opposing goalkeeper by surprise, but I didn't expect the ball to fly directly, and then Li Lei also walked back with a look of chagrin.
In addition to attacking, Li Lei is also very active on the defensive end. He appeared several times on the offensive lines of opposing players, trying to interfere with and block opponents' passes and shots. Around 74 minutes, he defended aggressively and destroyed one of his opponent's shots. It is also his active scrambling and defense at both ends of the attack and defense that may have gained the trust of the head coach and believes that he will get more performance opportunities.
However, some fans believe that although Li Lei is very active in defense, some options are still not ideal.
For example, when the game was about 16 minutes and 10 seconds, Li Lei stopped facing the attacking players 3 meters away. He should actually press a little further, rather than leaving a huge amount of room for his opponent to easily pass the ball out. This led to the team falling behind.
When the opponent scored the second goal, Li Lei happened to appear on the route of the opponent's shot, but the helpless ball "cleverly" interspersed with him. Although the goalkeeper stopped the ball as it approached the goal, the referee considered the goal valid. The slow-motion replay also showed that the ball had indeed been scored.
Therefore, many fans believe that these two goals conceded have a certain relationship with Li Lei. While the fight is positive, sometimes the choice is just as important. Some fans also said that Li Lei can play the whole field in the first start, at least indicating that the head coach is satisfied with his physical fitness and performance, and hopes that he will continue to work hard!
Indeed, Li Lei can play in the Swiss Super League, not satisfied with the role and ability in the domestic league, is the courage to learn and change the performance. Fans should give more support and encouragement.
Subsequently, Li Lei himself encouraged himself on the social media: the road is still very long, continue to work hard. Don't forget to look up and look forward when it's difficult. Come on!
I hope that more and more international footballers can exercise themselves in higher-level leagues, so that Chinese football can get greater progress, and Chinese fans have more reasons to continue to believe in them!
