The night of August 12th.
China Super League (soccer league)
In the 14th round of league matches, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who had adopted a rotated lineup, finally lost 0-1 to the full-fledged counterattacking team under the influence of a penalty kick.
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
Team. Although the ending was regrettable, the team's players executed the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff excellently in the game, and fought with Shenhua until the last moment with their indomitable spirit, which is a gratifying achievement in itself. It is worth mentioning that, just before the game, the Jinmen Tigers came to the good news - Barton has been selected for the latest national team training list, he will have the opportunity to represent China to participate in the World Preliminary Round 12 competition.
Facing Shenhua's game, Barton rarely appeared on the right side of the road this season, despite the change in position, but his spirit of hustle in the game and go all out attitude has not changed, and in the first half he even almost assisted U23 youngster Li Haoran to break the goal. In the attacking end of the Jinmen Tigers, the "versatile" Barton, no matter what position he is placed in, can create threats. Of course, Barton can have such an excellent performance, in addition to his superb technical ability, the first time to be selected for the national team is also an important factor in his power. Talking about his selection after the match

feelings, he could not hide his excitement.

Someone from management informed us before the national team roster was released. Of course I was happy and excited, it felt like a recognition of my efforts in the game.
Barton, who will turn 26 in September, joined the Zim Tigers as a loan player this season, which became a major turning point in his career. Since the 2019 season, Barton, who lost his U23 status, has spent two seasons playing only for the
national security
Appeared in 23 games and made just six starts. This is a far cry from his debut in 2017, when he started 17 games in a season and averaged 75 minutes a game. With the determination and faith to prove himself again, Barton came to the Jinmen Tigers, he cherished every opportunity to play the game, it is this "but seek to plow, do not ask for the harvest" of the full effort, and now there is a surprise.

I really didn't think it would make the cut.

Because my goal for myself this year is to play every game and then try to have better numbers. Since I'm on loan, I'm trying to prove myself on one hand, and on the other hand, I hope I can perform better to give back to the fans and the coaches. Now inducted into the
national soccer team
, it was really a big surprise for me.
In the current year to a completely new team, Barton did not waste the increased playing time, he quickly became the team's mainstay, but also became the favorite of the fans of the Jinmen. Barton's metamorphosis cannot be separated from his own efforts, and of course, the trust and support of the coaching staff. In the first phase of the league, Barton's one-horse, one-rider scenes on the field were impressive, but his missed one-touch shots and delayed opening of his goal scoring account also made people sweat for him. During the off-season, manager Yu Genwei laughed at the idea of teaching him how to shoot, and it was this kind of targeted training that allowed Barton to find his way back to scoring in the second phase of the tournament. In the battle with Wuhan, in almost the same orientation, Barton made up for the regret of missing a single goal against Yatai before with an international wave, and this goal also showed his growth. Barton, who is diligent on the field, maintains a humble attitude off the field, saying that he owes his progress to his coach and teammates.

First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Yu Genwei for his help, affirmation, and trust from the coaching staff. Because at the beginning of the year before coming to this team, perhaps did not think I could enter the national team, after coming to find that Mr. Yu, including the team players, coaches have helped me a lot, they also help me a lot on the field, so I perform well, but also has a lot to do with them.
Barton's diligence and hard work has impressed not only Yu Genwei and Tianjin fans, but also the

. As a striker, Barton has played almost every position in the midfield in the Jinmen Tigers this season, but no matter where he appears, he can create scoring opportunities for his teammates with his flexible running and aggressive scrambling, and even though the statistics of goals and assists are not exactly eye-catching, those who have watched the games of the Jinmen Tigers know that Barton's role for the team is irreplaceable, and even on the field, every opponent sees him as a focus on the object of care. After half a season of sharpening, now Barton has become the core of the Jinmen Tigers, he is rapidly growing and maturing at the same time, self-confidence has also been greatly improved.

I feel that I have improved my self-confidence in this team, and I feel that I have become more mature in playing soccer than before. In the past, I may have played fewer matches, and I was less mature in handling some balls, but now I have become more mature due to the accumulation of matches, and I feel more comfortable playing on the field, and my own characteristics can be played more obviously.

The goal is to go in with a learning attitude and then cherish every training session, so that if there are any warm-ups or friendlies or something like that, I can bring out my full character so that the coaching staff can trust me more.

It's not just that his hard work paid off, it's also the best reflection of the spirit of struggle that has always been emphasized by the Tsimshatsui Tigers in the game. Every member of the team is able to play without giving up and fight until the last moment, and we can all reap the rewards of growing up by breaking through the limits again and again. After nearly half a season of sharpening, the Jinmen Tigers, forged with such spiritual strength, have gradually transformed after improving their physical, technical and tactical skills. With a set of rotating lineup against Shenhua, although the final regrettable defeat, but also let the team's main force to get a rest, and the substitute players, in the last minute of the game did not give up, but also in the field actively scrambling, looking for opportunities, but also let them harvest confidence.

I don't think Tan Wangsong Tan need me to say, one is the age here, and then also played the whole game, for me, I think Tan more often, in the team's role is not a player, some time including give us encouragement, play the kind of veteran players should play a leading role. Wang Zhenghao against Shenhua was the first time we both played on one side and the first time we worked together. I think he was very confident and played well, basically the threat was on his and my right side, so I think he has a lot of room for improvement. This game, in fact, is our cohesion, including the spirit of struggle on the field played a role, first of all, did not lose the approach of the troops, we feel that we still need to be more united, more cohesive, so that no matter who we encountered on the field, perhaps, we will have a good play.

Assistant coach and member of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers soccer team
This game played well, the first main thing is that we are very consistent, very determined to follow the technical and tactical organization arranged by the coach, the second, I think with the substitutes every day hard training is inseparable, because we all know that the substitutes are not easy, because of the previous game is relatively small, but also to maintain a good state of mind, then perhaps his usual training needs to be more to pay! I think this is also the best test. Competitive sports, regardless of the program, must need to break through, so that the spirit is also very important aspect. Our team is also emphasizing the spirit of hard work, the spirit of not giving up, as long as there is a ray of hope, we will always go for it.
