News was unveiled on Monday that Swiss soccer powerhouse Grasshoppers have officially welcomed Chinese newcomer Li Lei to the club. Reviewing the content of Li Lei's previous interviews, it is not difficult to realize that the journey of a Japanese player named Jun Kawabe's overseas journey has touched his heart deeply.
Speaking about the transfer, Li Lei had this to say, "A story that my club colleagues had shared with me was that of Jun Kawabe, a current Japanese star in the Grasshoppers squad. He was born in 1995 and has been a solid lineup player for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. In order to compete for a place in the Japanese national team, he made the decision to go overseas. This story had a profound impact on me."
