I believe that many fans have been disappointed in Chinese football recently. The first was that they did not perform well in the round of 12 and missed the World Cup again. And the whole process is also equally depressing, first only achieved 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, only won the Vietnamese team at home, lost 1-3 away to Vietnam, but also lost on the night of the First Day of the New Year, or the first time in history to lose to the opponent, which made many fans unacceptable, so the national football team became a negative model. Later, there was another "Feng Gong War" that led to the mutual hatred between the music and art circles and the football world, which directly led to the men's football team becoming the target of public criticism. With the passage of time, the heat of public opinion just went down, and it caught up with the two fiascoes of the Youth Army of the AFC Champions League Shandong Taishan and the Guangzhou team, one 0-7 and one 0-5, which was absolutely indispensable to be ridiculed. It can be said that at the beginning of this year, national football fans have not had a good day.
However, domestic players can't count on it, and we still have foreign players. Wu Lei, who had been sitting on the bench in La Liga, finally scored a killer goal on the bench in the previous round, helping the Spaniard achieve a crucial victory. And Wu Lei's good performance can also be regarded as injecting some hope into Chinese football in the trough. However, there are still many fans who have a pessimistic attitude, because the current national football team is a martial artist, and it is impossible to change the backward reality. Only our national team has more Wu Lei, and there are more players who can stand in Europe and play games. Only our Chinese football can have a drama. Recently, there is good news that we have another international player who can announce a foothold in Europe, and he is Li Lei, a left-back who joined the Swiss Super League earlier this year.
As we all know, the most lacking thing in the national football team and even the entire Chinese Super League is the left defender. During the round of 12, Li Lei was injured, and the national team even used right-back Wang Shenchao to play this position, the main reason is that there is really no one. Li Lei is currently the best left-back in China. At the beginning of this year, Li Lei made a bold decision to go to Europe to stay in the West at the age of nearly 30. Although everyone thinks it's too late to go out at this age. But Li Lei does not think so, he still wants to improve, but also wants to achieve his football ideals. In order to be able to play, he did not go to the big five leagues, but chose the mid-level team of the Swiss Super League, Grasshoppers. Here Li Lei did play very smoothly, but unfortunately, because Li Lei was injured, he had only played 4 games and had an assist. Although the data is OK, it can be seen that he has not yet fully adapted and integrated into this team.
Finally, in the early morning of the 17th, Li Lei made his debut again after many rounds. What everyone did not expect was that this long-lost appearance gave us a great surprise. This time, the grasshopper's opponent is Servit, and Li Lei is the starting player. In the 9th minute of the game, Li Lei made a threat. After receiving the ball in the left midfield, he decisively chose a long pass to block, his teammates received the ball and kept the ball slanted into the left penalty area, and Momo was fouled by The Servet player in the box when he inserted it. Grasshopper player Bonadini scored a penalty and the score became 1-0. And this is actually Li Lei's instigation.
In the following game, we saw Li Leihua as the core of the defensive line behind him, and while the defense was completely online, the task of playing the ball at the back was almost completely entrusted to him. It can be seen that everyone has great trust in the transformation into a Chinese international footballer and is willing to cooperate with Li Lei. In this way, Li Lei's performance is getting better and better, more and more confident, and several defensive card positions and passes are amazing. In the end, he was replaced in the 87th minute, and the team finally won 1-0, ending an embarrassing 8-round winless.
It can be said that Li Lei's performance in this game after his return from injury is perfect, and the happiest thing is that Li Lei has integrated into this team and is valued and trusted by his teammates, which is why he played well. It can be said that this game basically laid the position of Li Lei in the team, and he can basically declare that he has established a foothold in this team.
It can be said that Li Lei's performance has injected a touch of joy into Chinese football, and now Chinese football needs such a performance too much. And Li Lei's success is actually to open the way for our young players. That is to say, to stay in the west is not necessarily to go to the five major leagues, to go to the second and third-rate leagues like the Swiss Super League, the middle-rate teams can actually play, but also learn things, is a win-win.
So our fans can really have more expectations in the future, look forward to our excellent players can go out, even if it is not the five major leagues, it does not matter, to the Swiss Super League such a league can also be, the quality of these leagues in Europe is currently much higher than the Chinese Super League. And when our players play more in these leagues, the level of our national team will definitely improve significantly. What do you think? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
