FIFA has always had a clear ban on players wearing any "jewelry" during soccer matches. However, in the Chinese Super League, and even in the national team, there is a rare photo of an international player wearing jewelry. This has led many fans to question the professionalism and ethics of local players.
In this round of Chinese Super League match, international player Li Lei, who has just returned from injury, was spotted by the referee in time because he was wearing jewelry. His behavior also shocked many fans. After all, former international player Stanley Wong was severely punished by the FA for stealing jewelry. I didn't expect Li Lei to fail to learn his lesson this time! Even this kind of amateur mistake will be made.
In the match between Guoan and Shenhua, both sides were very intense. Only 20 minutes into the first half of the game, an Guoan player was injured. Then, Guoan coach replaced Jiang Wenhao with Li Lei.
When Li Lei appeared, it was not clear whether he had forgotten that he had jewelry in his hand, or whether he was intentionally trying to show off his "luxuries" and was even prepared to show up with his jewelry. Luckily, the referee outside the arena spotted his jewelry and instructed him to remove them before appearing.
Obviously, Li Lei's behavior has touched the FIFA ban! For the CFA, this kind of behavior is obviously not worth promoting. I wonder if the FA will warn or punish Li Lei himself next.
Although Li Lei did not succeed in wearing the jewels on the pitch as Stanley Wong did, his action was detected by the referee and was an attempted cheating situation.
As an international player, Li Lei was heavily utilized under both Lippi and Li Tie. After studying in the Swiss Super League, Li Lei was once highly anticipated by fans. However, due to his skills and injuries, Li Lei rarely played for the Grasshoppers.
Compared with the women's soccer team Zhang Linyan, who stayed on the grass during the same period, there is almost no comparison. Many fans also bluntly said that from Li Lei's behavior this time, we can see his professionalism.
Ultimately, do you think Li Lei's behavior is worth promoting? Will it be punished by the FA? Please leave your comments in the comments section to discuss.
