On Monday, Grasshopper Club, a Swiss soccer league powerhouse, welcomed Chinese soccer star Li Lei to join the club. Talking about this, Li Lei revealed in an interview that it was Japanese player Jun Kawanabe's experience of playing overseas that inspired him to join the club.
Speaking about the story of Jun Kawabe, Li Lei said fondly, "The staff of the club told me the story of Jun Kawabe, a Japanese player born in 1995, who played for Sanfrecce Hiroshima and held a solid place in the team. However, in order to secure a place in the Japanese national team, he decided to go overseas. This experience touched me deeply."
