National Football Team: Sun Jihai's First ChoiceAccording to the regulations of the British Ministry of Labor, Sun Jihai's capacity as a non-national team member makes it impossible for him to land England. But according to Shide Club, some regulations may be flexible, the England Premier League still decided to invite Sun to go to Britain, this proves that they may have the solution.According to Lin Lefeng, deputy general manager of Shide Club, Shide has always kept communications with Southampton Club and Newcastle Club. Their agents have given a reply, saying they have not much objection to the 2 million transfer fee suggested by Shide. Later, Shide will conduct further negotiation with the other side on the time, way and means concerning Sun's transfer and pay for him. If everything goes well, Sun is expected to reach England in mid-August when the new round of games start. Lin did not reveal which, Southampton or Newcastle, Sun will choose. As for the fax sent in by Italy Torino Club, Lin said that Shide will fax the related reference materials about Zhang Enhua, Li Ming and Sun Jihai to Italy in several days. Although Zhang Enhua and Li Ming definitely can't go abroad, Shide still hopes the Italian clubs may know more about them because the two players may also choose to serve foreign clubs after the top 10 World Cup Tournament. However, to enter the national football team is still Sun's first choice. Milutinovic's visit to Dalian has created some conditions for Sun's return to the National Football Team. But since there is not any sign to prove that Sun will certainly be able to enter the National Team later, Shide has never suspended contacts with foreign football clubs for Sun's playing outside.
