In future matches, the Grasshoppers' head coach will carefully plan when Li Lei will make his debut based on his recovery. The 92-year-old soccer star decided not to renew his contract with Guoan after it expired last season. Li Lei aspired to step onto the green fields of Europe with no regrets at the age of thirty. Coincidentally, the Swiss Grasshoppers were in desperate need of reinforcements on the wing, and they saw Li Lei's potential and strength. In the face of this rare opportunity to go abroad, Li Lei did not hesitate to join the Grasshoppers, and started his own legend of staying in the world. With his speed and power, Li Lei quickly established himself as an indispensable member of Grasshoppers.
However, frequent injuries became the biggest obstacle for Li Lei to solidify his starring role in Grasshoppers. Whenever he recovers from his injuries, fans expect him to learn how to protect himself in the game and avoid getting injured again as he returns to form. The fact that Li Lei chose to stay with Grasshoppers when the Chinese men's soccer team was at a low ebb is in itself a sign of courage and commitment. His perseverance has also set an example for other Chinese footballers, inspiring them to pursue their dream of staying in the world. If more Chinese players follow Li Lei's example and give up the high salary in China to go to Europe, then the road of the rise of Chinese soccer will be more solid.
