Shao Jiayi (Chinese: 邵佳一; Pinyin: Shào Jiāyī) (born 10 April 1980) is a Chinese footballer. Previously, Shao played in Germany for Energie Cottbus, 1860 Munich and MSV Duisburg, as well as starting his career with Beijing Guoan in the Chinese Super League. Due to his ability of scoring freekick in crutial matches, fans regarded his lefty curved ball as "绍氏弧线(Shao's curvature)". Internationally, Shao represented China at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and has scored five goals in two AFC Asian Cup tournaments.

Career

Shao was touted as one of the most exciting players in the Chinese Super League and he was noted for his commanding presence in the centre of midfield. This impressed 1860 Munich which then signed Shao on a loan deal from Beijing Guoan. Shao played there for two and a half seasons before moving to Energie Cottbus. He scored his first goal for Energie Cottbus at home against Hertha Berlin and away to Borussia Dortmund right after coming on as a substitute. He came on as a substitute in the 84th minute in an away game against Bayer Leverkusen and equalised with a header. After playing in German for 9 years, Shao returned to Beijing to rejoin his former club, Beijing Guoan.

Trivia

Shao has a nickname which is often written as "+1", as it pronounces similar to his name "Jiayi" in Chinese. He became the first Chinese footballer to receive a red card in a World Cup match against Turkey in 2002. Due to China failing to qualify for a World Cup since then, he remains the only Chinese player to receive a red card at the tournament.
