Although the vacation has come to an end, many players of the Tianjin team have quietly returned to the team in advance. They are back home in Tianjin, and together with the rest of the team, they are stepping up their training in the infield of the Olympic Sports Center. As the outfield turf is under maintenance, the team has arranged a special indoor training program. Led by fitness coach Julio, newcomer Virginovic and Magno, who arrived in Tianjin for the first time, are also actively involved, and their figures in pairs often appear in the fans' view.
According to the regulations, all players should return to the team before noon today, but in fact, many field players have been returning to Tianjin since early morning. After the end of the first phase of the league, they returned directly to their homes to rest and recuperate, and this early return to the team, but also in order to set up a good personal space in the new home, as soon as possible to integrate into the new environment. Considering the players' different ways of returning to Tianjin, the team's residence has also arranged 24-hour duty and prepared room cards in advance to ensure that players returning late at night can quickly settle down. On both sides of the corridor in the residence, each room door is no longer cold room number, but affixed with a "name plate", for the players to bring the warmth of home.
It is worth mentioning that foreigners Kadar and Iroquois, who have returned home on vacation, have been given half a month more vacation than their other teammates, and they are scheduled to return to China in mid to late September and undergo 14+7 days of isolation. In the second half of the first phase of the league, Tianjin team has assisted them to make proper arrangements for their return to China. Despite the fact that the global epidemic is not yet over and there are many unpredictable risks, head coach Yu Genwei said he fully understands the players' homesickness. Objectively, these two players have also been away from home for a long time, and the team strives to be meticulous in handling the follow-up matters. Giving them a vacation is also to enable them to be in their best shape for the crucial relegation battle in December.
