In the upcoming 24th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on the evening of July 21st, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will travel to challenge Beijing Guoan on the road. Prior to the match, head coach Yu Genwei attended a press conference with foreign aid player Školjic, detailing the team's preparation and outlook for the match.
Yu Genwei first emphasized the team's recent recovery work. He pointed out that the team's recent training has focused on recovery, as the players have just experienced a 120-minute long game in the AFC Cup, which has resulted in a huge amount of physical exertion. At the same time, he also spoke highly of the upcoming opponent, Beijing Guoan, saying that it is a strong Chinese Super League team, and that the atmosphere at Guoan's home stadium is excellent, which will make the game extremely tough. However, Yu Genwei said that the whole team is well prepared and will focus on meeting this challenge with high fighting spirit and firm belief. He called on the whole team to be united and put in a good performance to get a good result.
Talking about the issue of foreign aid, Yu Genwei revealed that although the team may have a certain disadvantage in the configuration of foreign aid, they will make up for it through internal digging. He said that the local players in the team are performing steadily and there are already a number of players ready to play. In addition, he also introduced the situation of new recruit Diogo Silva, saying that the new foreign center back has already arrived in Beijing and met with the team, but due to the fact that he has just gone through a game, his physical condition still needs to be further evaluated, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to play in this game.
In response to Beijing Guoan's poor performance when their opponents gave up the ball, Yu Genwei said that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will develop more reasonable tactics to deal with the game according to their own staffing. He emphasized that the team will not blindly imitate their opponents, but will stick to their own style of play and strive for victory through teamwork and hard work.
In reviewing the last match against Guoan, Yu Genwei admitted that the result of that match was not ideal, and despite the team gaining a numerical advantage early in the game, they failed to win the match in the end. However, he also recognized the positive impact that Compagno has had on the team, believing that the foreigner's professional attitude and steady performance have played an important role for the team.
Finally, foreigner Škorić also spoke at the conference. He said that after the victory in the last cup match, the team was very well prepared and the whole team came to the away field with the desire to get the victory and points to prepare for this match. He believed that with everyone's joint efforts, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers could show their best form in this game and bring a wonderful game to the fans.
