Tianjin Jinmen Tigers beat Qingdao West Coast 2-1 at home in the 20th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on the evening of July 27, Beijing time. Head coach Yu Genwei gave a comprehensive review of the game and talked about various aspects of his team's situation in the post-match press conference.
Commenting on the game
Yu Genwei began by expressing his joy at the victory and recognizing the team's performance. "I'm very happy to win this game successfully, these three points are very important for the team." He emphasized that the team was full of confidence before the match and hoped to take this crucial game at home, as the current league situation is very tense, with little difference in points between mid-table and relegation teams, and every win is crucial.
Yu Genwei also candidly pointed out the difficulties and challenges of the game. "Every game in the Chinese Super League is not good, it's all very grueling." He mentioned that the team suffered a number of injury situations during the match, including unexpected injuries to Su Yuanjie, Škoric and Diogo Silva, and that these adjustments that had to be made affected the team's tactical play. The team faced a lot of pressure, especially after the equalizer by the other team, but in the end, they were tenacious enough to take the game. He said the team showed tenacity and team spirit in the match, which was the key to the victory.
Talking about the team's starting five wide receivers and whether there are more options tactically
Regarding the tactical arrangement of the team's five foreigners in the starting lineup, Yu Genwei said that the new foreign center back has performed steadily, providing the team with a good reinforcement in the center back position. At the same time, pushing Školjic to the back position also plays a good barrier role. He emphasized that the team has more choices in tactics, but the first thing is still to do a good job in defense and stabilize the defense line. In addition, he also mentioned that as the foreign aid has not been in the team for a long time, he still needs to further integrate with the team.
Talking about the team's substitution adjustments
Commenting on the team's substitution adjustments, Yu Genwei said that the team has always emphasized the training and growth of young players. "We hope that the young players can grow up slowly, give them more opportunities and let them accumulate more game experience." He mentioned that young players such as Huang Jiahui and Wang Xianjun, who replaced on the field today, are the team's future reserves, and he hoped that they can grow up as soon as possible and make greater contributions to the team.
