The Premier League is undoubtedly the world's first league at present, and the players who can stand here are certainly the ceilings of countries and even continents. In the history of Asian football, there have been many players who have made a name for themselves in the Premier League. Recently, the Japanese media soccer-king selected 11 of the most successful Asian players in the history of the Premier League, and his Chinese football star Sun Jihai was successfully selected.
Goalkeeper: Habsi (Oman)
Defenders: Sun Jihai (Ching-hae), Ken-yo Fuan (Japan), Maya Yoshida (Japan), Lee Young-woo (Korea)
Midfielders: Junichi Inamoto (Japan), Ki Sung-yong (Korea), Park Ji-sung (Korea)
Forwards: Son Heung-min (Korea), Shinji Okazaki (Japan), Shinji Kagawa (Japan)
Sun Jihai was selected! The glory of the national football in Asia
As a famous player of the national football team, Sun Jihai has played for Manchester City for 6 years, playing 151 games for Blue Moon, scoring 4 goals and having 3 assists. There is no doubt that even if it is placed on Manchester City's merit book, Sun Jihai should have a name.
In addition to Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, Li Tie, Dong Fangzhuo and others have also left footprints in the Premier League. But in contrast, the experience of several of them in the Premier League is still far inferior to sun Jihai. If it is to pick a national football star who deserves the title of the best 11 players in asia in the Premier League, Sun Jihai is undoubtedly the best choice.
Japan and South Korea 9 people were selected, the ceiling of Asian football
A total of nine Japanese and South Korean players were selected for the best squad this time, which reflects the supremacy of the two countries' football technology in the Asian scope. Among these nine names, the selection of Son Heung-woo, Park Ji-sung, and Shinji Kagawa is undisputed. Of course, in Japan and South Korea, there are actually more people who can compete.
In this 9-man roster, we also saw new signing Fuan Jianyang who joined Arsenal this season. From this point of view, the players of Japan and South Korea, whether past, present or future, they have enough personnel to be selected for the best list.
By unexpected name, the Oman goalkeeper was elected the best 11 man
In the goalkeeper's position, we see the name of Omani goalkeeper Habusi, a player who has been in the Premier League relegation team for many years. At Bolton and Wigan Athletic, Habusi made 111 appearances and won the FA Cup.
As the all-time goalkeeper of Omani football, Habusi announced hanging up his boots last summer. With Habusi's ability, he may also be able to play for the national team in the round of 12.
In this list, there are no Australian players, nor are any Iranian and Saudi players selected. Of course, even with this part of the players, I personally think that Sun Jihai can still become one of the players in the lineup.
