Club career
Li Yi'nan played for the Shenyang Haishi youth team until he was promoted to the senior side during the 1999 league season. Under the teams Head coach Valeri Nepomniachi Li began to establish himself within the team during the 2000 league season and even though Valeri Nepomniachi left at the end of the season Li Yi'nan still continued to progress as a regular within the team. By the 2004 league season he was wanted by Shanghai Shenhua; however Shenyang tried to hold on to him by making him the teams captain.[1] This only delayed his move which happened at the beginning of the 2005 league season and saw him reunite with Valeri Nepomniachi who immediately made him an integral member of the teams defence. The next season, however saw him plagued by injuries and Nepomniachi leaving the club, which resulted in him making only nine appearances. By the 2007 league season the club had merged with Shanghai United F.C. and Li saw his playing time shrink even further.[2]
At the beginning of the 2008 league season he left Shanghai to join Wuhan Optics Valley F.C. for 1.7 million Yuan; however this move turned out to be a disaster because Li Yi'nan struggled to even establish himself within the team, before the club were controversially relegated then subsequently disbanded during the Chinese Super League 2008 season after the clubs management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on September 27, 2008.[3] Without a club to play for several months he would be unemployed before he joined second tier football team Pudong Zobon F.C. halfway through the 2009 league season. This would then lead to a move to top tier side Chongqing Lifan at the beginning of the 2010 league season, where he would quickly establish himself within the teams defence.
