As can be seen by the FM attribute chart, Gorelei, the former player who studied at Maipa in the Finnish Superleague, already has the strength to play in the secondary European leagues.
His outstanding physique and skills enabled him to switch positions in the midfield. However, his mental deficiencies have caused him to drift along the professional soccer path; let's find out more about Gao's life in soccer.
The 1980s marked the beginning of China's reform and opening up. As a child growing up under the roots of the Imperial City, Gao was exposed to novelties far beyond his peers during his childhood. His father was a senior professor at the Beijing Normal University of Physical Education (Capital Sports Institute). Under his father's influence, Gao has been involved with soccer since he was six years old.
He's been involved with soccer since he was a kid.
In an era of traditional thinking, the non-professional national soccer team was obviously not the first choice for parents to plan for their children's lives. However, Gao's innate soccer talent was recognized by his father, who had a background in physical education, and "grasping with both hands" became the keynote of Gao's childhood.
In order to comprehensive development, high elementary school moved three times, through the College Road Primary School, Shichahai Sports School and then to the attached primary school, quite "three moves". Three years in the NPC Central School.
In 1995, at the age of 15, Gao Leilei was selected by Beijing Tramway Club and has been on the road to professional soccer ever since.
Famous for its youthful font
However, the 1997 season saw the dissolution of the Beijing Tramway Club due to league losses. Under the guidance of
Seventeen-year-old Gao Leilei traveled to join the Wuhan Walnut K, after careful training, his soccer skills and tactical level by leaps and bounds, and once became the record holder of the youngest appearance in the first and second leagues.
In the 1999 season, 19-year-old Gao Leilei glory to join Beijing Guoan, at this time he has become a demon star of the A League, as the first batch of young talents of the professional reform of the national football team, Gao's physical quality and technical and tactical level of unanimous recognition of the fans in the capital.
One battle to fame.
In 1999, at the age of 19, Gao Lei Lei became a star, and the battle for the A-League title was extremely fierce.
To Li Jinyu, Zhang Yuning, Qu Shengqing, Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe as the core of the "Liao Xiaohu" legion in the country set off a youthful storm, while Su, Hao Wei, Gao to be the core of Shandong Luneng Taishan is also unstoppable.
The "Battle of Tianwangshan" lasted until the last round of the Chinese League A. Before the game, Liaoning ranked first with 46 points and Shandong ranked second with 45 points. That is to say, in the last game, as long as "Liao Xiaohu" all three points, will be staged in China's version of the "Kaiserslautern miracle".
However, across the Liaoning team in front of the last "blocking tiger" is the "imperial forest army" Beijing Guoan, December 5, 1999, Beijing Workers Stadium crowded, the game process is also ups and downs.
Qu Shengqing took the lead.
In the first half, Liao Football's "Fat Tiger" Qu Shengqing scored the first goal to help the team take the lead. At this time, "Liao Xiaohu" had already touched the league gold cup with one hand. However, as the intensity of the confrontation continued to increase, the game's gunpowder flavor gradually became thicker. First, Zhang Yuning was violated continuously, then Li Jinyu was shot in the head.
Li Jinyu's head is bleeding.
Perhaps due to the constant aggression of their teammates, the Liaoning players seemed to be out of control. Lv Gang's violent kick in a fight was caught by the American referee, and the straight red card result tipped the scales in favor of "Liao Xiaohu".
Lv Gang was red carded
Two minutes later.
In the 71st minute of the second half, a "life-threatening judge" came on as a substitute, and he was Gao Leilei, who deftly got away and scored with a long-range shot in front of the penalty area. Most of the half time has been defending the Liaoning team instantly collapsed, 1-1 draw, high kick "flying to the fireball" completely shattered the "Liao Xiaohu" psychological defense.
Ko kicks Liao off.
The end is: high with their own strength to prevent the birth of the Chinese version of the "Kaiserslautern miracle", while Shandong Luneng Taishan to 5:0 victory over Wuhan, with a narrow advantage of 1 point beyond the Liaozhu ascended to the throne of the Central League Championship, become the first since the reform of the professionalization of the national football team, the "Double Crown! The first "double championship" team since the professionalization of national football reform.
At that time, only 19-year-old Gao Leilei also so the ball "a battle famous", unfortunately, once all-powerful "Liao Xiaohu" youth army of near guards, with the high a shocking long-distance shooting, seems to have lost its soul. Since then, Qu Leheng car accident, Zhang Yin dismissal, Qu Shengqing transfer, Li Jinyu and other events in succession, but also so that Liao football has been in ruins, and has not yet recovered.
As mentioned earlier, the relative lack of spiritual attributes has been the biggest stumbling block for Gao throughout his career. Gao's unwillingness to go with the flow in the face of the many disruptions in the national soccer scene has led to his inability to provide a consistent output for the team over the nearly eight years he has played for Beijing Guoan.
Riding solo for thousands of miles during National Security
In the second half of 2006, Gao was loaned to Newcastle Knights of the Australian Premier League by Guoan, which was his first time to go abroad to enjoy the foreign style.
In 2007, after the expiration of his contract with Beijing Guoan, Gao Leilei signed a free-agent contract with Maipa in the Finnish Premier League, officially starting his own alternative overseas journey, and at the same time, Gao Leilei became the first professional player in the history of the national soccer team to utilize the "Bossman Act".
Started traveling abroad
As for the Bosman Act, its core rule is that professional players have the right to join other clubs freely without paying any transfer fee after the expiration of their contracts with the clubs they play for, that is, the "visa-free law" that fans are familiar with nowadays. For example, Levin joined Bayern Munich, Pogba joined Juventus, Delfry joined Inter, etc., are classic cases of Bosman Act.
What makes Gao's career abroad quite unusual is that of all the overseas clubs he has played for, none of them are from Europe's top five leagues, and some are even below the Chinese Super League, but Gao has always stuck to his dream of studying abroad and enjoyed it.
There are no two reasons for this:
shell shelled national football team
For one thing, Gorelli is disappointed to the core with the atmosphere of the domestic soccer scene;
On more than one occasion, he publicly blasted the domestic coach training mode, domestic players' living habits and many other issues. Of course, Gao also soberly realized that to fight against the entire national football environment is tantamount to a mantis, so he chose to stay away from it.
Narrow domestic viability
Secondly, Gorelli's own personality makes him seem out of place in the domestic soccer scene;
The boldness of his uncompromising and even outspoken style of behavior will naturally offend a lot of people in the circle, which also allows him to survive in the domestic football world is extremely narrow, and the high heart of the pursuit of pure soccer, can only be found in foreign leagues to find solace.
Over the next four years, while playing for Maipa in the Finnish Super League, Gao Leilei made his debut for the team in the UEFA Cup against Blackburn, making him only the fifth Chinese-born player in the history of the UEFA Cup; he moved to Phoenix in the Australian Premier League, Finnish First Division, and Minnesota Stars in MLS, before announcing his retirement on March 6, 2011, for the first time.
Back to play in League Two.
In October 2015, Gao, who still had the dream of staying in the United States, announced his comeback. This time, his destination came to the Iberian Peninsula's West B stadium, where he played for Corne, Humilia, Puenferrada and Extremadura.On July 12, 2020, at the age of 40, Gorelli finally staged his personal debut in the West B, and after the match, the complacent Gorelli announced that he had officially hung up his boots.
In fact, from the first time in 2011 to 2020 officially hung up his boots, nine years, "semi-retired" state of Gao Leilei while experiencing the thrill of soccer, while enjoying the purity of foreign soccer leagues, but also committed to a variety of domestic public welfare and charity work.
dedicated to public service
From the Wenchuan earthquake and the Wuhan epidemic, to the construction of hope elementary school in the mountains of Yunnan, to the donation of a soccer stadium named "No. 21", Gao's presence has been a part of many public service endeavors. What's more, when Gao was teaching in Mabian, Sichuan, he fell in love with Ma Yu, a famous singer who is also passionate about public welfare, and eventually got married.
Of course, Gao Leilei's dislike of the world has always been the exclusive label of "non-mainstream", and many events, such as blasting Mr. Shen Xiangfu, supporting Australian runners, exposing the shady list of national football team in the 2002 World Cup, etc., all came from Gao; no matter what, it seems that there are some different voices in today's homogenized environment of the national football team! I wish Gao all the best in his future life. I wish Gao all the best in his future endeavors!
