Currently, the Jinmen Tigers are preparing for the new season's training under the leadership of junior coach Yu Genwei. In order to give Jinmen Tigers a better environment for preparation, Yu Genwei chose to lead the team to Thailand. Soon after the Tigers arrived in Thailand, they started to contact their warm-up opponents. Jinmen Tigers chose to play a warm-up match against Yonsei University's varsity team from South Korea. Before this match started, fans thought that the Chinese Super League club should beat the Korean varsity team with their hands.
While Jinmen Tigers fans were only concerned about how many goals their team could win against Yonsei University in South Korea, Jinmen Tigers surprisingly lost 2-3 to their opponents. Last season, Jinmen Tigers performed well in the Chinese Super League, with an overall record that ranked them in the middle of the league. Some people really can't say the same for a mid-tier team in the CPL that has never played a varsity team from a Korean university. Of course, Jinmen Tiger fans made excuses for their team's loss, arguing that Yonsei University in South Korea is not the same as a regular varsity team.
Yonsei University in South Korea is really different from your average Korean college team. The team has played big name international players like Min Ja Kim. At the same time, as you can see from the fact that Yonsei University Korea came to train in Thailand, this varsity team is really not an ordinary varsity team. However, these reasons are not the reason why Jinmen Tigers lost 2-3 to Yonsei University of Korea in their warm-up match. After all, the Yonsei University Korea soccer team is not a professional team.
Therefore, Jinmen Tigers' 2-3 loss to South Korea's Yonsei University team should be reflected upon by head coach Yu Genwei and his players. Especially the fact that Jinmen Tigers' backline was crossed by the university team three times shows that the team's backline has problems. As we all know, Jinmen Tigers' backline lost Yang Fan and Andujar, who both failed to stay with the team after their contracts expired.
After losing Yang Fan, the Jinmen Tigers were beaten three times by Korean big school teams. I wonder if the team will regret not keeping him. Yang Fan's performance in Jinmen Tigers has been very good and made great contribution to the team's early relegation in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, many fans feel very sorry that Yang Fan didn't stay in Jinmen Tigers. Hopefully, Jinmen Tigers can adjust their form in the warm-up matches as soon as possible and achieve good results in the new season of the Chinese Super League.
