Li Yao (Chinese: 李尧; born 21 December 1977) is a Chinese footballer who played as a midfielder.
Career[edit]
Li was described as "considered the best left midfielder in China".[1] He played for Chinese side Dalian Shide FC, where he was described as "already an old man in the Dalian Shide team... Li Yao was sent to the ranks of the elderly in three years. Now behind Li Ming in the Shide team is Chen Dong, behind Chen Dong is Li Yao, and behind Li Yao are a bunch of successors born after the 1980s. From the chorus of "Replace Li Yao" on the Dalian field in the 2003 season... to the so-called salary cut controversy before the 2005 season, Li Yao, a "migrant", always has stories in Dalian".[2]
Style of play[edit]
Li mainly operated as a winger and was known for his speed.[3]
