Li Ke, one of the earliest players to join the national soccer team, has been carrying the high expectations of countless fans since his debut. His debut in the Chinese Super League was a real eye-opener. But as the years passed, fans found that his strength did not exceed that of the local players, and he gradually fell into the bench of the national football team, while the national lineup also had more of his figure.
This may be what Wu Lei means by "integration", right? Back then, he was selected for the national team together with Iverson, and was once regarded as the initiator of a new era for the national soccer team, and people had unlimited expectations for him. However, the reality has mercilessly given him a loud slap in the face.
The current manager of the national soccer team is Ivan Ivanovic, and one wonders: will he be able to successfully handle Li Ke in the recent Chinese Super League matches? If the answer is "no", I am afraid Li Ke will be disappointed again. As a back, Li Ke's defensive ability is one of his highlights. In his absence, the national soccer team seems to have lost one of its strongest players.
Fans are concerned about how many rounds of suspension will result from Rico's lockout. In fact, there are already precedents. For example, Zheng Long of Qingdao Hainiu in 2023 was fined 40,000 yuan for the act of locking his throat, while Cai Huikang of Shanghai Port was similarly banned for four rounds and fined 40,000 yuan for locking his throat in a match against Shandong Taishan.
As you can see, the Chinese Super League's punishment standard for lockout behavior is a 4-round ban. According to this speculation, Li Ke is likely to face a similar punishment. In this case, if Coach Ivan is interested in recruiting him, Li Ke may not be able to return to the team as scheduled due to his suspension.
