Sun Wen was officially certified by FIFA as "Miss Football of the 20th Century". No one in the domestic football field can catch up with this honor. Sun Wen's position in women's football is equivalent to Diego Maradona in China. In the 20th century, the men's soccer team was Pele, the online voting was Diego Diego Maradona, and the women's soccer team was Sun Wen. Although the women's football team didn't win the World Cup, it didn't affect Sun Wen's greatness at all.
At that time, women's football was no better than it is now. At that time, the status of women's football was no less than that of women's volleyball. 1986, the newly established women's football team won the Asian Cup for the first time, and it was a total victory. After that, he won six consecutive times.
196 Atlanta Olympic Games, the women's football team reached the final, but unfortunately 1-2 narrowly beat the host team, the United States.
In the 1999 Women's World Cup held in the United States, China women's football team entered the final again. In that year's World Cup, China, the best team, had seven players selected, and then only the United States had five players selected to win the championship, while the powerful German team had only two players.
At that time, Sun Wen was the core of the women's football team. In that World Cup, she scored seven goals by herself and swept all the honors except the champion.
The regret of that game was no less than Baggio's Italian loss to Brazil and China's penalty loss to the United States, which missed the best chance to win the championship.
At that time, after returning to China, the women's football team was received by state leaders. At that time, the women's football team was called the sonorous rose.
However, with the aging of a generation of players, the performance also slowly declined, and the Sydney Olympic Games ranked sixth in the 2003 World Cup.
Later, Sun Wen retired to Fudan University and became a journalist.
I remember there was a saying in the commentary at that time that if the men's football team had half the ball control ability of Sun Wen, the national football team would have entered the World Cup.
In terms of honor and ability, Sun Wen can be said to be the first player of China's national football team.
For the men's soccer team, if it is very important, Sun Jihai is still Fan Zhiyi.
