The major leagues in Europe are coming to an end, the Swiss Super League where Chinese foreign player Li Lei is located still has the last 4 rounds of matches left, Li Lei officially joined the Swiss Super League giants Grasshoppers in the winter window, but this giant that has won the Swiss Super League championship 27 times has declined and has become a relegation team, which makes Li Lei, who plays as a left-back, have more uses, and more importantly, the grasshopper manager also likes to use the three-center-back system, Li Lei has long been familiar with such a system when playing in Guoan, and there is obviously no pressure to integrate.
The so-called weak team out of the door, in fact, also out of the defender. Li Lei was quickly activated after joining Grasshopper, with almost no transition, plug and play. The 29-year-old international Li Lei made his Swiss Premier League debut on February 6, playing 14 minutes on behalf of grasshoppers, performing remarkablely and very actively, but the team did not perform well, losing 1-3 to the leader and the city's sworn enemy Zurich.
After playing three consecutive games in February, Li Lei showed signs of fatigue and was injured after playing four games, while missing the World Preliminary Tournament of the national football team, during Li Lei's absence, the grasshopper suffered five consecutive defeats and was on the verge of relegation, until April, the grasshopper achieved a big rebound. In the last month, the grasshoppers directly counterattacked in the key relegation schedule, achieving a 5-game unbeaten run, during which the leader Zurich also counted the leaders Zurich, starting from 1-1 Zurich in early April and until 1-1 Lugano in early May, completing five consecutive Swiss Super League matches unbeaten.
Detailed five matches were 1-1 Zurich, 2-2 Lucerne, 1-0 Servite, 3-1 Lausanne Sport and 1-1 Lugano. Li Lei made an early comeback in mid-April before he was 100% injured, due to a shortage of employees in the team, many people missed the game, Li Lei made a timely comeback and started, and played until cramps before being replaced. The match was the 30th round of the Swiss Super League on April 17, and Li Lei started and played 87 minutes, with a stable offensive and defensive performance, and the grasshopper beat Servet 1-0.
In the last two rounds, the grasshopper staffing is relatively abundant, and Li Lei has not fully recovered from injury, so he sits on the bench and plays according to the situation. In the 3-1 win over Lausanne Sport, Li Lei did not appear, and in the latest round of 1-1 Lugano, Li Lei also did not play. So far, Li Lei Liuyang has played 5 games, including 3 off-the-bench and 2 starts, delivered 1 assist, averaged nearly 2 steals per game, and the performance at both ends of the attack and defense reached expectations, and the head coach and teammates were also lucky for him. Next, Li Lei will complete the relegation with the team and strive to continue to compete in the Swiss Super League in the new season. Grasshoppers with a wave of 5 rounds unbeaten, with 36 points to counterattack to escape the relegation zone, the Swiss Super League a total of 10 teams, Grasshoppers 36 points temporarily ranked 7th in the standings, at least 6 points more than Lucerne and Lausanne Sport in the relegation zone, the relegation situation improved, the pressure of the last four rounds of matches is not particularly large, it is worth being optimistic.
