Sun Jihai's study abroad is undoubtedly a success. Which teams does he play for in Europe?

Sun Jihai should be regarded as the pride of China football. He was the main player when he was in Manchester City. If we position him objectively now, I think he is a qualified main player in the Premier League and a first-class defender in European football, but he is not top-notch and has not reached the level of a star. Sun Jihai is the most successful overseas student in China, and he is a role model for the national football team. Sun Jihai is a well-deserved "all-round" player, with comprehensive skills, capable of playing left and right full-backs, left and right avantgarde, centre-back and midfielder. On the side, he has a strong offensive and defensive ability. He can advance and retreat, and his speed and defensive awareness are first-class. On the right, Sun Jihai has always been the first choice for the national team.

Sun Jihai is one of the most successful football players studying abroad in China. In 2002, Sun Jihai joined Manchester City, which was still in League One, for 2 million pounds, setting a record for Asian players to transfer, helping Manchester City enter the Premier League in its first season. In the first season of Premier League, Sun Jihai was selected as the best team in Premier League in the second round. From 2002 to 2008, Sun Jihai performed well in several seasons in Manchester City. * * * has made over 130 appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League, making him the first player in China to score in the Premier League.

It is the Gold Association that shines. With good performance in domestic leagues and international competitions, Sun Jihai moved to League One Manchester City with an Asian record of 2 million pounds in 2002. You know, even the current national football players are not worth 2 million pounds. Sun Jihai quickly adapted to the rhythm of League One and quickly occupied a main position, helping Manchester City to enter the Premier League smoothly. After entering the Premier League, Manchester City made many changes to strengthen the team's strength, but Sun Jihai's starting position was very stable. During his six years in Manchester City, Sun Jihai played 130 games for Manchester City and scored three goals. He was the first China player to play in the Premier League, the first China player to score in the Premier League and the first China player to score in the three major European cups. He is qualified for left-back, right-back, left-back and right-back. He not only defends well, but also assists first class.

Sun Jihai joined Crystal Palace Zhongjia with Fan Zhiyi on 1998. At that time, the head coach of the team was buxton, the former assistant coach of China Men's Football Team. It was because of his appreciation of Sun Jihai that he got the first chance to study abroad. However, Sun Jihai was not fully prepared at that time, and could never adapt to the high speed and high confrontation of League One. Although I got more opportunities, I still couldn't prove myself, so I returned to China after studying abroad for ten months.

His second study abroad was in 2002, when Sun Jihai joined League One Manchester City from Dalian Shide with an astonishing transfer fee of 2 million pounds, which also set a record for Asian players. However, Manchester City was not a strong team in the Premier League at that time, and they often lingered on the edge of relegation after entering the Premier League. In the first few seasons in Manchester City, Sun Jihai was the absolute main force of the team's defense, and he also helped Manchester City to overtake successfully with his excellent performance. In the following years, Sun Jihai also worked hard. He played for the team until 2008, and he still wore the captain's armband. Sun Jihai is a representative of success in studying abroad.
