	ESPNsoccernet.com - Global - Sun Jihai accepts home responsibilities
		Sun Jihai and fellow countryman Li Tie have blazed a trail in English football in recent years, proving soccer's most quickly developing region is capable of producing top-class exports.
		The attention on Sun Jihai may be diluted somewhat by the arrival of South Korean star Park Ji-Sung at nearby Manchester United, but, after nearly five seasons in England, including one campaign with Crystal Palace, the 27-year-old knows he is still viewed as a major role model back home.
		Having been handed a new one-year contract by the cash-strapped City board despite his injury, the pressure is on Sun Jihai to recapture the form he was showing before he suffered the blow, in the stunning victory over Chelsea last October.

		Sun may not have the talent of McManaman, Sibierski etc. but I know full well who I would prefer to be playing with.
		Sun Jihai has done more than enough to merit a new contract and I look forward to watching him for a few more years yet.

	Sun Jihai Manchester City Player Profile from 4thegame.com
		Jihai Sun joined City in March 2002 from Dalian Wanda, the Chinese club he joined in his native land after returning from a loan spell with Crystal Palace in London.
		City fans saw very little of Sun after he came in at City as he was mainly used as a substitute in the latter stages of most of the games in which he played.
		Sun's first full season in the top flight promised to test that theory even though Keegan barely managed to make a bad buy for City since joining the club.

	About Manchester City FC
		IN a city famed for its China Town and proud of its cultural diversity, Sun Jihai has found the perfect base to spread the Chinese footballing gospel, but he has one simple request: âDonât call me an ambassadorâ.
		The word ambassador gets banded about whenever Jihaiâs name is mentioned, with the inference that he is first a symbol of Chinaâs burgeoning love of the beautiful game first, and second a footballer for Manchester City.
		Jihai, though, insists that while he hopes his success will encourage other English clubs to sign Chinese players, he is simply a sportsman who just so happens to be from the Far East.

	Lethargic Brazil held 0-0 by China
		Three times Sun Jihai, at the heart of nearly all China's best moves, chipped in low crosses that eluded the tall Brazilian centre backs only to see his strikers fail to trouble goalkeeper Dida when they should have scored.
		The closest he came to scoring was in the 58th minute when Ronaldinho capped a wonderful run that took him past four defenders with a chip that Ronaldo managed to scoop over the onrushing goalkeeper only for the ball to be scrambled away at the last moment.
		Seven minutes from the end, Sun set up another splendid chance, this time for Li Jinyu, who screwed a volley from 10 yards out towards the corner flag when he had plenty of time to control the ball and fire past the static Dida.
