Li Tie (1977-), footballer
(May 18, 1977-), born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, is a former Chinese men's soccer player and former coach of the Chinese national men's soccer team. As a player for us is quite impressive, after all, scored the
England Premier Soccer League
But as a Chinese citizen, made is a very failure, in November 2022, Li Tie suspected of serious violations. But I still want to talk about as a player period in the Premier League is what level. Li Tie's first "goal" is in December 1, 2002 Everton away game with Newcastle team, but unfortunately is a oolong.
It can be said that Li Tie, at that time, absolutely worthy of Everton's main position, with the ability to establish a foothold in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League team, if not for the onslaught of injuries, he would have had the opportunity to stay in the Toffees for a longer period of time, and in the English Premier League to achieve greater results.
Of these, 28 were starts and only one was a substitute, away to Manchester United and two rounds against Arsenal, Li Tie also started against the world's top midfielders such as Perón, Scholes, Vieira and Gilberto Silva, which is a testament to Moyes' trust in him.
Li Tie's Premier League campaign In August 2002, Li Tie, who had just finished the World Cup, joined Everton on loan from Liaoning, and in order to scout him, then Toffees boss David Moyes was even present at the World Cup. After arriving at Goodison Park, Li Tie quickly became a mainstay in the midfield, partnering Danish international Gravesen and making 29 Premier League appearances in his first season, more than Sun Jihai, who was playing for Manchester City at the time! Man
We have the impression that Li Tie, is a "run not dead" defensive back, style is very tenacious, defense is very tough, in the midfield, but the attack can not, technical skills and passing ability are lacking.
However, in the Premier League, at Everton, he showed a more rounded side. In fact Li Tie did not score any official goals while playing in the Premier League!
