Jiang Jin (Chinese: 江津; pinyin: Jiāng Jīn; born October 17, 1968 in Tianjin) is an assistant coach and former international Chinese football goalkeeper who was predominantly known for being the first-choice goalkeeper for China during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He is also the brother of former football goalkeeper Jiang Hong who has also appeared for the Chinese national football team as well.
[edit] Club career
Jiang Jin began his football career playing for Bayi Football Team during the 1987 league season and would gradually establish himself within their team.[1] During his time with Bayi he saw them become a fully run professional football team and despite seeing them finding it difficult to transition to professionalism Jiang was a steady constant within the team. By the 1996 league season his consistency would start to pay off when he aided Bayi to third within the league, which lead to an eventual call-up to the national team.[2] While his international career grew from strength to strength Bayi struggled within the league until the relegated at the end of the end of the 1998 league season.[3] Jiang stayed for a short period before joining Tianjin Teda where he remained for three seasons before joining highly ambitious side Shanghai Zhongyuan in the 2003 league season in a season that saw his side just miss out on the league title.[4] The next season saw him only make sixteen league appearances and drop from being the first choice goalkeeper.[5] This led to Jiang joining second tier side Shanghai Stars where he was offered an assistant post as well before he retired in 2007.
[edit] International career
Jiang Jin was first called-up to the senior team in 1993; however he would wait until October 31, 1997 before he was given his chance to make his senior debut in 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Qatar in a 3-2 defeat.[6] Under Bobby Houghton Jiang was given an opportunity to establish himself as the country's first choice goalkeeper and it was during the 1998 Asian Games held in Bangkok that Jiang shined by aiding the country to a third choice finish and personally winning the “Asian best goalkeeper” award.
