Personal profile of Jiangjin

China goalkeeper Jiangjin is one of the best goalkeepers in Asia in the past 20 years. He played a key role in the World Cup qualifiers in South China in 2002. I still remember the great pressure on Jiangjin in that qualifier. Jiangjin recalled that an accidental event changed his fate.

2001August 3 1 day, China, led by legendary coach Milu, challenged Oman away to win two consecutive victories in the Top Ten. But just before the game, Jiangjin had a toothache. "The sharp pain in my right tooth made me have to receive some treatment to participate in the competition. When the game started, I suddenly had an idea. If I have to face a penalty in this game, I will jump to the right. " Jiangjin recently recalled in an official interview with FIFA.

Dramatically, Jiangjin's premonition really came true. Before the end of the first half, Oman won a penalty. In the face of Dabbit's penalty, Jiangjin really took off on the right, the ball bounced off the post, and Fan Zhiyi immediately cleared it with his big foot. That save became the turning point of the game, and then China scored two goals in the second half and scored the key three points away from home. Next, Jiangjin also played well in the China 1: 1 Qatar draw. However, in China's 2-0 home victory over Uzbekistan, Jiangjin was replaced by An Qi because of a finger injury, and has never participated in the Top Ten since then. However, his brave performance in the first three games contributed greatly to China's first entry into the World Cup finals.

Jiangjin 1968 was born in a football family, and his father Jiang Yonglin was also a football player. Jiangjin inherited his father's talent and passion for football. 12 years old, Jiangjin followed in the footsteps of his brother Jiang Hong and also entered the Bayi team. After the China Football Professional League 1994 started, both brothers developed well. Jiangjin became the No.1 goalkeeper of Bayi Team, while Jiang Hong went to Shenzhen Ping 'an, and they even once competed for the position of going abroad.

In the end, Jiangjin, who performed better, became the No.1 goalkeeper of China team in Horton era, and consolidated his position in the 1998 Asian Games. After Milu coached, Jiangjin was still trusted by Milu and won the honor of the best goalkeeper in the 2000 Asian Cup. Jiangjin, who reached the peak of his career, was scored 9 goals by his opponent at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. "We may still have a chance to play Costa Rica in the first game, but the subsequent games against Brazil and Turkey revealed a huge physical and technical gap. To narrow the gap with the world's top teams, we need to focus on long-term development and attach importance to the cultivation of reserve talents. "

After retiring in 2007, Jiangjin became the coach of China star football team, and returned to the attention of fans by organizing some charity competitions. "I hope I can rekindle the fans' enthusiasm and interest in football and show them that it is really a beautiful sport. "
