In yesterday's third warm-up match in preparation for the new season, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers defeated Central League One rivals Qingdao Youth Island by a score of 2-0. In this warm-up match, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers focused on the examination of trial players.
The game was played at a relaxed pace, and the Jinmen Tigers coaching team did not intervene too much in the tactics, but only asked the players to play what they had learned in training. Given the limited strength of their opponents and the short time they had to prepare for the match, Jinmen Tigers' victory did not come as a surprise and the club kept a low profile. However, the coaching team believes that some of the trial players have shown potential that should not be ignored and deserve further observation.
The Jinmen Tigers coaching team has welcomed the addition of former national team coach Zheng Bin, as well as the addition of international players Wang Qiuming and Yang Fan, and Barton, who has returned from training with the national team, as well as Cai Huikang, who is rumored to be joining the team soon, and other strong players, the overall strength of the Jinmen Tigers this season has made a qualitative leap compared to last year's team, which was formed in haste. While many Chinese Super League teams have been "tightening" their lineups, the Jinmen Tigers have continued to expand their strength, which not only meets the real needs, but also reveals a hint of the team's "ambition". It is reported that the transfer window of this season's Chinese Super League will be officially opened on the 14th of this month, lasting for about a month, when the Jinmen Tigers are expected to carry out targeted reinforcements.
According to the plan, Jinmen Tigers will play another warm-up match on the 12th with the U21 national team coached by Cheng Yaodong, which will take part in this year's China B League. The warm-up is not only for the purpose of training the team, but the U21 national team players have also become the target of Jinmen Tigers' reinforcement. In view of the current epidemic in Shanghai, the arrangement of subsequent warm-up matches will need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
