Shao Jiayi FM attribute diagram

Shao Jiayi was born since the professional reform of Chinese football a century-old set-piece master, when the Guoan Club commented on Shao Jiayi in the youth player introduction column: when taking a corner, it gives people a scene of "the moon goes and I walk, send the ball to the gate", and when the free kick is awarded, it is like a "Scud missile", often "exploding" in the opponent's gate; next, we will walk into Shao Jiayi's football world together.

At the first sign, the "National Security Three Less" was famous for shaking the Four-Nine Cities

At the end of the 1990s, the first batch of youth training treasures born under the tide of Professionalization reform of Chinese football showed a blowout trend, among which the Guoan Fresh Force with Shao Jiayi, Xu Yunlong and Yang Pu as the core performed particularly prominently, and the "Guoan Three Young" became the focus of discussion that Beijing fans were proud of after dinner.

One of the "Three Young National Security"

On April 10, 1980, the protagonist of this article, Shao Jiayi, was born in an ordinary family in the capital Beijing, and Shao Jiayi, who loved sports since childhood, quickly showed great talent in football, and in 1993, the 13-year-old Shao Jiayi was selected for the Beijing Junior Team and won the third and fourth places in the National Junior Football League with the team.

In 1994, the reform of professionalization of Chinese football was fully implemented, Shao Jiayi represented Beijing Weikerui (Beijing Youth Team) in the national youth league, in 1998, with the successful acquisition of Beijing Guoan Club Beijing Weikerui, Shao Jiayi also officially became a professional footballer.

Brilliant free kick to break the goal

On April 4, 1999, Shen Xiangfu, then the manager of Guoan, made his debut for Shao Jiayi, who was not yet 19 years old, and finally he scored a goal in the 76th minute to help Guoan draw 1-1; in the following 2000 season, Shao Jiayi's participation in the game gradually increased, and his characteristics in set-pieces made him a rising star in the A-League.

Brilliant long-range shot into the goal

In the four seasons of Guoan, Shao Jiayi played 59 times for the "Yulin Army" in the league, providing 14 wonderful goals for Beijing fans while also giving 12 assists, and his "Guoan Three Young" composed of Xu Yunlong and Yang Pu was even more famous, and in the following years, with his amazing performance in the Guoan team, Shao Jiayi gradually grew into a new force in the Chinese national team.

Regrettably, the memory of the World Cup is not so good

In 2000, the 20-year-old Shao Jiayi was selected for the first time in the Chinese men's national football team led by the magical coach Milu, and accompanied the team to compete in the Lebanese Asian Cup and eventually won the fourth place, in Milu's eyes, Shao Jiayi is the best candidate for the next decade in the national team's midfield attack line.

Wearing a national team jersey

However, providence tricked people, in Shao Jiayi's national team career, the memory of the World Cup is not so good.

In 2002, the 22-year-old Shao Jiayi was selected for the China Men's Football Squad for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan as he wished, and in the third match of the group stage against Turkey, the 22-year-old Shao Jiayi made his World Cup debut, perhaps too excited, and after a few minutes of substitute appearances, he brought down the star player of the Turkish team, Emre, with a fierce tackle.

Red card at the World Cup

This foul action allowed Shao Jiayi to be directly shown a red card by the referee on duty, which was both the first red card in the history of the Chinese men's football team in the history of the World Cup and the only red card so far, and Shao Jiayi's World Cup performance was also slightly awkwardly frozen in these few minutes.

Another typical case occurred in March 2008, in the 88th minute of the second match between China and Australia in the second match of the 2010 Fifa World Cup Asian Qualifier Group in South Africa, the Chinese team won a great opportunity to take a penalty, but Shao Jiayi's shot was weak and over-angled, which was easily resolved by Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer, and the Chinese team regretted the opportunity to kill.

Missed a key penalty

Although Shao Jiayi apologized to the fans across the country at the first time after the game, he was still criticized by the domestic media and fans, and Dujkovic, who was the coach of the national football team at the time, criticized Shao Jiayi's performance by name, and finally the Chinese men's football team, which was distracted, failed to highlight the siege in the top 20 qualifiers, and the 28-year-old Shao Jiayi also faded out of the national team lineup due to the "missed point incident".

The forest dark grass is frightening, the general leads the bow at night, and the "Shaw Arc" steps alone in the German arena

After jumping back to the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, although the performance at the World Cup was not satisfactory, the young Shao Jiayi still received the attention of many overseas teams, among which the eyes from the Bundesliga teams were the most concentrated, mainly due to the highlight performance of Shao Jiayi's Beijing Guoan team master yang Chen in the Bundesliga.

Another major factor that contributed to Shao Jiayi's stay in Yangyang was the poor domestic football environment that year; Shao Jiayi was fortunate that beijing Guoan Club always pursued the style of doing its best in sending outstanding players to play abroad, whether it was Yang Chen at that time or Li Lei today.

Beijing Guoan Chairman Luo Ning recalled in an interview: "The chinese football environment at that time was not good, fake, gambling, black rampant, Guoan was once discouraged and wanted to withdraw from investment, in order to protect the players in his hands, Shao Jiayi, who was still young in the ascendancy period, had no choice but to endure the pain of cutting love and sending Shao Jiayi to Germany to stay in the West. ”

Joined Munich in 1860

In the winter window of 2003, the 22-year-old Shao Jiayi officially joined the veteran Bundesliga club Munich 1860 Club for 1 million euros, becoming the second Chinese player to play in the Bundesliga after Yang Chen, "I want to thank Yang Ge (Yang Chen), it is his efforts that allowed me to come to the Bundesliga, and in the future I will learn more from Yang Ge and gain a firm foothold in Germany as soon as possible," Shao Jiayi said at a press conference.

At the beginning of joining the team, Shao Jiayi quickly overcame the difficulties brought about by language and training methods, and the super high professionalism made Shao Jiayi and Munich 1860 seamless, and also won the respect and praise of the team leader "Short Foot Tiger" Hasler, and the German local media had broken out that Hasler personally accompanied Shao Jiayi to practice free kicks after training.

Stage the Full Moon Curved Blade in the Bundesliga

Kung Fu paid off, in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga season Munich 1860 against Cottbus in the 4th minute, Munich 1860 won a free kick in front of the field, and it was quite surprising that the veteran Hasler gave direct control to Shao Jiayi, only to see the ball cross the high jumping wall and draw a wonderful arc straight to the dead corner of the goal, and the Cottbus goalkeeper whipped long.

Look back at this textbook free kick from multiple angles

Excited Shao Jiayi excitedly ran to the sidelines to hug the coach and teammates, Shao Jiayi's first goal after landing in the Bundesliga was so gorgeous, after the game, germany's "Kicker" magazine defined this ball as a "textbook" free kick to break the goal, and the Munich 1860 official website deliberately added Shao Jiayi's player profile to the label of "China Beckham".

However, just when Shao Jiayi played a world in the Bundesliga, the sudden serious injury made the "Chinese golden left foot" in the mouth of Munich fans stop, and the serious injury of the cruciate ligament and meniscus of the left knee kept Shao Jiayi away from the field for half a year, and when he stepped into the green field again, Munich 1860 had been relegated from the Bundesliga.

In the following two seasons, Shao Jiayi followed Munich 1860 to the Bundesliga, but failed to help the team return to the Bundesliga; in the summer window of 2006, the Bundesliga promotion Markotbus, who had been killed by Shao Jiayi's free kick, threw an olive branch to the "Chinese Xiaobei", and after two years, Shao Jiayi returned to the familiar and unfamiliar Bundesliga field.

Joined Cottbus

In a welcome speech, The official website of Cottbus quipped: "In the days to come, our fans will never be heartbroken for that wonderful free kick of the year", in the 06/07 season, Shao Jiayi played 30 times for Cottbus in all competitions, scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists, and helped the team successfully relegated.

However, injuries have once again become a stumbling block for Shao Jiayi to break into the Bundesliga, frequent absences make it difficult for "China Xiaobei" to maintain the stability of the state, coupled with the pressure of relegation for consecutive years has forced the team to change the manager frequently, Shao Jiayi has never been able to fully integrate into the tactical system of Cottbus, and in the 08/09 season, Cottbus once again regrettably relegated to the Bundesliga.

A brilliant free-kick from the Cottbus era scored

In the following two years, Shao Jiayi suffered a serious injury to a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee, and his Cottbus team also fell twice in a row at the last moment of the promotion of the Bundesliga, and the disheartened Shao Jiayi finally parted ways with Cottbus and signed a two-year contract with Bundesliga club Duisburg.

After an equally unsatisfactory half season in Duisburg, Shao Jiayi chose to terminate his contract with the club early and officially ended his trip to the West, in a nine-year career in Germany, Shao Jiayi contributed a total of 4 goals and 4 assists in 67 Bundesliga games, and 20 goals and 19 assists in 101 Bundesliga games.

Inducted into the Bundesliga Legendary Stars Hall of Fame

On August 7, 2017, the Bundesliga officially announced the 9-member list of the "Bundesliga Legendary Stars Hall of Fame", and Shao Jiayi, together with Mateus, Che Fangen and other famous players, was shortlisted, which is enough to see that Shao Jiayi won the unanimous respect and praise of the Bundesliga, German fans and the German media in the nine seasons of staying in Germany.

The old man talked about juvenile madness, and the hand blade Evergrande became an eternal classic

In the 2012 winter window transfer period, Shao Jiayi, who had passed the year of establishment, decided to return to the Chinese Super League, for a time, the major giants of the Chinese Super League competed to chase the representative of this "returnee" player, of which Guangzhou Evergrande showed the most positive, but in the end Shao Jiayi politely refused Evergrande's gracious invitation, because in his heart, there is still an unfinished wish.

Return to Beijing Guoan

On March 20, 2012, Shao Jiayi put on a national security shirt and stepped on the Beijing Workers' Stadium after a decade-long absence; in gratitude for the club's kindness, Shao Jiayi said before he stayed in Germany that his last contract in life would always be left to Beijing Guoan, helping Guoan win a championship and becoming an important goal at the end of Shao Jiayi's career.

The best opportunity occurred in the 2014 season, the whole season of the "Royal Forest Army" has always been biting the league "Banba" Guangzhou Evergrande, the penultimate round of the league, Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou Evergrande ushered in the "Battle of Tianwangshan", in guangzhou Tianhe Stadium, Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan, who can win the championship in advance, have been fighting until the end of the game.

In the face of danger, he was ordered

At this time, Guoan coach Manzano sacrificed a fatal killing move, veteran Shao Jia was ordered to come on as a substitute in danger, the first touch of the ball shot a shocking free kick, the ball hung straight to the corner of the goal like a flying meteor, and the national goal Zeng Chengcheng was extremely saved although he touched the ball but was still powerless to prevent the ball from drilling into the net.

Kill Evergrande

1-0, Guoan slashed Evergrande on the road, keeping the suspense of the championship to the final round, although Shao Jiayi and his "Royal Forest Army" ultimately failed to stop Guangzhou Evergrande's continuous hegemony in the "Golden Yuan Super League" era, but the 34-year-old Shao Jiayi's full moon curved knife slash that personally slaughtered the dragon has still become an eternal classic in the history of the Chinese Super League.

epilogue

On October 31, 2015, Shao Jiayi announced that he had officially hung up his boots and ended his 17-year professional football journey; at the retirement press conference, Shao Jiayi bowed 6 times and choked several times: "I started playing football at the age of 5, and now it is nearly 30 years, I think it is difficult for me to leave football, interlaced like a mountain, I will do a good job in my football, and only in this circle can I say that I am an expert." ”
