Soccer Buzz: Li Shuai's Strong Return and the National Football League Left Back Debate
In the fierce battle between Shandong Luneng and Taishan, Li Shuai once again showed his extraordinary strength. He not only played solid defense in the left back position, but also often went into the front field to create a chance to kill. In the 54th minute, it was Li Shuai's precise cross that created a good opportunity for Wu Lei to score. If not for his quick cut into the left side of the box, Wu Lei's goal might not have been possible. Therefore, half of the success of this goal should be attributed to Li Shuai.
Li Shuai, back from injury, returned to the field with an injury. The most delighted is perhaps not the Shanghai team head coach Muscat, but the new national team manager Ivankovic. As we all know, although Liu Yang is unique in the national team left back position, but in the balance of offense and defense seems to have a gap with Li Shuai. During the preliminaries, Liu Yang conceded a goal due to defensive negligence. The strong return of Li Shuai has allowed Ivankovic to find the ideal candidate for the left back of the national soccer team. As a result, Liu Yang's starting position is threatened to be impacted and may even affect Li Shuai's performance.
But in any case, it is certainly good news for the national soccer team that Li Shuai is getting better and better in the Chinese Super League. His form is like a volcano erupting, providing more options for the left side of the Chinese soccer team and giving Ivan Ivanovic a great winger once again. In the match against Thailand Men's Football in June, Li Shuai will surely become Ivan's key target. May he live up to the expectations of Chinese fans.
