At 19:35 on the evening of April 26, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will usher in their first away game of the Chinese Super League season against Shenzhen, coached by Chen Tao and led by Achim Peng. In the first away game of the new season, Jinmen Tigers are facing many problems and the whole team is ready to meet the difficulties.
In order to prepare for the match with Shenzhen, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers came to Shenzhen this Monday, which shows the importance the team attaches to this match. Although they won the first game in the last round, the two games in a week are away games. Coach Yu Genwei hopes that the players will bite the bullet, hang in there and show the spirit of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.

I should say that we are in a week-long double-header mode, mainly to adjust the players physically and mentally. There is not much time for preparation this week. We are mainly focusing on recovery training and hope to continue to show our Tianjin team's soccer spirit and style and rigor in our first away game tomorrow. We hope we can play this game well and get a good result.
For the Jinmen Tigers, who will replace Yang Fan is the primary question for the Shenzhen away game. Although the main center back Yang Fan came to Shenzhen with the team, it was just an arrangement made by the team from the perspective of training. Yang Fan must have missed the game because of the red card. Who will replace Yang Fan and form a center back combination with Andujar will be one of the highlights of this game.

Indeed, Yang Fan's suspension as the main center back still brings great trouble to the team, but I think we have passed the preparation period of winter training, in fact, the team is playing as a whole, and our other players in the same position, including the physical condition, are very good, and I believe that they will definitely help the team.
Because they were playing at home, Shenzhen team gave up their pre-match training to adapt to the field and were very secretive. However, even though they are still holding their lute, everyone knows that Achim Pang is the most threatening player. In the match against Shanghai Seaport, not only did Achimpen force Jiang Guangtai to see red, he also contributed on a header, scoring the equalizer. Next to Achimpen, it's either Shen Zigui, Xahazati or Zheng Dalun, none of them are big players. Coupled with an attacking gas pedal, a left wing defense against Jiang Zhipeng, and Alessandrini who can hold the ball and pass, Chen Tao has a deck of cards in his hand suitable for defense.

Achim Pang should say that everyone is familiar with him. Based on his characteristics, he used to work in Tianjin for many years, so he knows him better. Or according to our own way of playing, on the basis of which we will restrict him in a targeted way, including taking care of him.
Another thing to note is that the Jinmen Tigers have another big challenge in this away game, and that is the weather. Before the match to adapt to the field training, the sky is drizzling, the temperature is not high, but the players generally reflect the high humidity in the air, feeling a bit boring. In fact, Shenzhen locals are enjoying the recent "spring chill" as temperatures will rise all the way up to 30 degrees Celsius from Thursday...

It's true that the climatic conditions in the south, including humidity, are really great. After our first training session on Monday, the players consumed a lot. It's an away game and we need to go through and overcome.
In the first two rounds of the new season, Coach Chen Tao's Shenzhen team first sat at home and beat promotion rival Qingdao Hainiu 2-1, then North Shanghai. The score was tenaciously leveled after a two-goal deficit. If it wasn't for Wu Lei's strike, the Seaports' home league debut would have been almost botched. But through the two rounds of the league, we can clearly see that Shenzhen's players have earned respect with their outstanding performances although they have gone through a lot of trials, such as entering difficulties, signing failures, and lineup adjustment failures. With veterans not on the roster for the new season, the average age of the Shenzhen team is only 25.4 years old, 16 years old in the Chinese Super League.
As we all know, Shenzhen head coach Chen Tao was good at thinking when he was playing soccer, and now he is also very thoughtful when he is a coach. In the first round against Qingdao at home, he used 4-3-3 attacking formation to win, and in the second round against Port, he changed the formation to 5-3-2 to try to steal the chicken. Chen Tao dared to make this change. In addition to holding Achimpen and Jiang Zhipeng as counterattacking tools in his hands, Yang Boyu, Zhang Yuan, Pei Shuai and Yuan Mincheng are all defensive sluggers who can support the team's basic defense. And after the battle with Seaport, Chen Tao said bluntly that he took the initiative to rotate this game in order to return home to win.
In this game, Jinmen Tigers will challenge a not-to-be-underestimated opponent on the road. First of all, Shenzhen has a group of small and quick players in the sports game, constantly switching positions and penetrating, which will test the turning and chasing ability of the Jinmen Tigers' backline. Both Achimpen and Jiang Zhipeng are used to moving on the left side of the field, so the right back will have a heavy defensive task tomorrow. Pressing Jiang Zhipeng back with the offense is one plan. Perhaps putting an unassisted wingback behind him is also an option given the positional premise tomorrow. As for a couple of tall defenders on both Shenzhen teams, they are not only strong enough to defend, they are good enough to defend.
From Shenzhen's point of view, based on their knowledge of Jinmenhu's playing style, they will likely give up possession and pull Jinmenhu's formation to create a deep counterattack for themselves. Once they score first, Shenzhen's defensive counterattack will be more determined. In view of this, it seems that Jinmen Tigers should also adjust their strategy appropriately to avoid conceding the first goal for three consecutive rounds.
In the first match of this round, the host Qingdao Hainiu with three foreign aiders each scored a goal performance 3-1 beat Beijing Guoan, bursting the first cold this round; also sitting at home Shandong Taishan, 70 minutes more than one person, 2-1 beat Zhejiang, Zhejiang team started the three consecutive defeats; Wuhan three towns of the Super League champions of the last season, 2-1 away from home to beat Meizhou Hakka, Xie Pengfei extra time to offer a shutout, to help Wuhan ushered in the first win of the season.
In the battle of Shamshuipo, the local temperature is around 22 degrees Celsius, which is more suitable for the game, but the relative humidity will be close to 90%, which will challenge the players' physical ability.
