Bai Jie (simplified Chinese : 白洁 ; traditional Chinese : 白潔 ; pinyin : Bái Jié ; born 28 March 1972) is a Chinese footballer who made 139 appearances for the China women's national football team and was part of their second-place performance at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup . Bai initially played left back and was dubbed "Lady Roberto Carlos " for her similar style of play[ 1] but was later moved into an attacking role on the national team.[ 2]
Bai Jie was named the first AFC Women's Player of the Year in 2003.[ 3] That year on 11 June, in a World Cup qualifying game, Bai scored five goals in China's 12–0 win over India. Teammate Sun Wen also tallied five goals.[ 4]
