Year after year, there were rumors that there would be domestic stars going overseas, however, the dreams of Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu to stay in the world never came true.As the 2019 Asian Cup came to an end, Wu Lei resolutely embarked on a journey to La Liga to join Espanyol, which was a moment of great glory. Now, instead of following the trend and choosing the top five leagues, defender Li Lei has opted for the Swiss Super League, which is more suitable for him, and has managed to attract the attention of Grasshoppers. Despite the possible loss in salary and other aspects, Li Lei is brave enough to fight for his dream, a courage worth admiring.
Xu Liang, Li Lei's close friend, commented on this in the live broadcast, expressing his admiration for the young player: "Back then, our transfer rules at that time didn't allow free agency, so we had to call it quits. I couldn't realize my dream of staying in the ocean back then. Players nowadays are so lucky to have such rules. He can leave when his contract expires, I really envy him, and as his brother, I wish him all the best."
Xu Liang also lamented his situation that year: "When I could not play on the top five leagues, I wanted to go to the Russian Premier League and the Dutch league, the Russian Premier League's technical level is actually very high, the Belgian league has also seen some teams, the same can play. Including the Portuguese Premier League, and then Pacheco came to Guoan to lead the team, making it clear that the top six players in the Portuguese Premier League are competitive."
In terms of language, Xu Liang said he has no problem with simple conversations in English, and has no problem translating: "When I see an Asian person with yellow skin, they don't speak the local language, they all speak English, and most of them speak English. When I went to the Russian Premier League, I couldn't understand Russian, but when they talked to me, it was all in English."
We are also looking forward to Li Lei's good luck in his new team. It's not easy to stay at home, so we expect Li Lei to have a great performance in the future.
