In the 24th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on the evening of July 21st, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers lost 0-2 to Beijing Guoan on the road. After the match, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers head coach Yu Genwei attended the press conference, commented on the match and answered questions from the media.
Yu Genwei first congratulated Beijing Guoan and reviewed the game: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Guoan for taking the game. For the Beijing-Tianjin derby, we very much hoped to win, but unfortunately, it was not what we had hoped for. We were doing quite well before we conceded the goal, but that's the way soccer is, it requires us to stay focused for 90 minutes and not make any cheap mistakes. Once we fell behind, the players were eager to equalize and showed a lot of fighting spirit, which is worthy of recognition. But in general, we still need to take stock of the situation, especially to solve the problem of mistakes on the defensive end. At the same time, I would like to apologize to the fans who came all the way to support us and we will continue to work hard for the next game."
When asked about Ademi's performance, Yu Genwei said, "Before conceding the goal, Ademi's performance was good. In the first half, we mainly attacked the right side of the field, and after we lost the ball, we adjusted our tactics and moved him to the right side of the field, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible through the advantage of overhead kicks from the side. Although the result is unfortunate, I am satisfied with Ademi's play today. He showed his ability and fighting spirit, it's just that soccer games are sometimes like this and the result is not always what we want."
For the team's offensive end of the two hit the post, Yu Genwei commented: "Our preparation today is relatively full, the defensive end of the almost limit the focus of the opponent's players, the offensive end of the targeted deployment. In the first half we played okay, high-pressure interception did a good job, to create some pressure on Guoan. But Guoan's strength is really strong, with three foreign aiders, their overall strength is even more prominent. Although we had two chances to hit the post in the attacking end, but this is the way of soccer, we need to grasp every chance. Overall, we have played very well, but we need to continue to work hard and strive for better results in future matches."
