Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have successfully absorbed four foreign players this season - Kadar, Iroquois, Magno and Vijinovic, who come from four very different countries. Although they each have unique character traits, they get along well with each other as they work side by side with their teammates to prepare for the tough times in the league.
Kadar's mantra: "If I don't say 'no,' it's yes."
In front of the screen, fans may think that Kadar looks a bit "cold" and it is not easy to see him smile. However, after spending a lot of time with his coach and teammates, everyone can recognize Kadar's childlike personality - whether serious, relaxed, happy or unhappy, his emotions are directly reflected on his face.
Usually on heavy training days, when the team is playing in groups, Kadar's expression is a bit "serious", which means that he is very focused. As soon as he completes a training task or wins a game, he immediately puts on a "smiley" face. Last week, the team traveled to Beijing to warm up with Guoan, and before the game, Kadar was so expressionless that when he first joined the team, people would have mistaken him for someone who had a bad day. But after the match, the team won and Kadar was so happy that he became "the most active member" in the lounge.
Kadar's position on the field dictates that he is prone to clashes and collisions during practices and games. When he first joined the team, whenever he saw a powerful body contact or fall, the team doctor would ask the interpreter to ask Kadar if he was injured. But Kadar would earnestly say that if there was a problem, he would volunteer it, and if there was no problem, there was no need to ask. Over time, the team doctors and interpreters have gotten used to Kadar's habit - when he doesn't say "no", he means "yes".
Virginovic's son, became an old acquaintance of the team
Video chats with family and friends are a daily routine for foreigners to ease their lonely time in our country. Almost every afternoon after training, Dutch foreigner Vijenovic has a video call with his wife and his son, who is about 3 years old. Because this time period is the local time in the Netherlands in the morning, it is the children get up and eat breakfast, the spirit of the best play time.
How Virginovic's son began to appear in the team videos is not quite clear now. But in any case, Virginovic's son has become an old acquaintance with many members of the Zimmen Tigers, especially Magno, Iroquois and Kadar, who are the "best" of the old acquaintances. Especially Iroquois, every time he appeared in the video of the child, he would wave his arms, make facial expressions and say something to make the child happy.
What's the difference between "hello" and "how are you"?
Despite meeting each other every day, but each time they meet, but still enthusiastically high-five each other ...... often joked before and after training, the logic is "good relations before joking" ...... has been marveling at our country's code scanning can show a person's movement track, the ubiquity of cell phone payment "powerful" ...... curious about our traditional culture, especially Virginovic, asked a variety of questions: how to differentiate between the Beijing Opera's line of work, which types of tea the first brew to be poured! The "hello" and "how are you" used in the context of what is the difference between ...... and even Vijinovic has consulted whether there is a Chinese language course suitable for him to learn. The global epidemic has not yet ended, the domestic league is facing many difficulties, fortunately, the Jinmen Tigers foreign aid, all is well.
