I believe the name Sun Jihai must be familiar to the old fans of the national football team. He had a brilliant career and was the first China player to score in the Premier League. He was also elected to the English Football Hall of Fame. Sun Jihai officially announced his retirement in December, 216. So what is his current situation after so many years? Listen to me one by one.

Sun Jihai had a brilliant football career and was once a famous iron guard in China

Let's review Sun Jihai's career first. Sun Jihai was born in Dalian in 1977. In his career, he was able to play many positions, such as full-back, full-back and lower back.

His football career started in Dalian Wanda in 1995. Three years later, he and Fan Zhiyi moved to the crystal palace team in League One. From 22 to 28, he played for Manchester City in the Premier League and made 13 appearances in the Premier League. For Sun Jihai's life abroad, many fans may be most impressed by the fact that on October 26th, 22, when he played Birmingham at home in Manchester City, he scored a header, which achieved the breakthrough that China players scored zero in the Premier League. At that time, thanks to Sun Jihai's header, Manchester City finally won 2-.

In p>21, Sun Jihai moved to Shaanxi Zhongxin Team, a Chinese Super League team, and played for 4 years (including later Guizhou Renhe). During this period, he helped Guizhou people and won the Chinese Football Association Cup and the Chinese Super Cup. In February 215, he joined the chongqing lifan team. He was elected to the English Football Hall of Fame in October of that year. In December, he returned to Renhe, Guizhou, and then the club moved to Beijing. Sun Jihai officially retired one year later, ending his brilliant football career. It is worth mentioning that Sun Jihai has been selected into the national team for many times in his career, participated in the World Cup in Korea and Japan with the national team, and also won the runner-up in the Asian Cup.

Obviously, Sun Jihai is one of the few players in the national football team who can make China fans proud. His professional attitude is very good, he has an indomitable spirit, and he is extremely devoted to the game. He is a desperate saburo in China football. At its peak, Sun Jihai was an all-round football player with both offensive and defensive skills and balanced left and right foot skills.

what did Sun Jihai do after he retired, and what is his current situation?

After retiring, Sun Jihai once devoted himself to business, and he also had his own world in business. Later, when the Olympic team needed him, he chose to quit the business and accept the position of the Olympic team. He used to be the head coach of the Olympic selection team. After Hiddink came to the Olympics as the head coach, he assisted Hiddink as an assistant coach. With Hiddink's failure to lead the Olympic Games, Sun Jihai resigned as the teaching assistant of the Olympic Games.

In addition, Sun Jihai was elected as the vice chairman of Xinjiang Football Association. However, at that time, he didn't have much energy to focus on Xinjiang football because he still had the task of Olympic Games in hand. After Sun Jihai left the Olympic Games, he was free to focus on developing football in Xinjiang. In addition to serving as the vice chairman of Xinjiang Football Association, he also joined the youth training work in Xinjiang and served as the youth training director of Xinjiang Football. In fact, there are many talented football teenagers in Xinjiang. They are good at physical confrontation, but in the past, Xinjiang Football Association did not have enough resources to train them to become real professional players. The arrival of Sun Jihai may be good news for Xinjiang football. He has rich network resources, and it is hopeful to promote the development of Xinjiang football in the future.

Sun Jihai is committed to the development of football in Xinjiang

Many fans have expressed their support for Sun Jihai's work, and some fans have said, "This is what Jihai should do! Do it. The people of Xinjiang will remember you. " "The Football Association should organize domestic excellent players like Sun Jihai and send them to all parts of the country to train young people in talent selection." Wait a minute.
