In a sudden turn of events that has swept through the Chinese soccer world, the much-anticipated Beijing-Tianjin derby is set to take place on August 7, with the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers set to face Beijing Guoan on their home turf. However, the latest reports from the Daily News have brought ominous signs for the Tianjin Tigers, as the team's mainstays such as Andujar, Guo Hao and Gao Huazhe, and even the star of the show, have suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity.
Looking back at Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' last round of league losses, the team had a great record in six rounds of matches, ranking eighth in the table and seemingly far from the relegation zone. However, the sudden decline of such a good performance has put the team's head coach Yu Genwei under tremendous pressure. The Beijing-Tianjin derby has become a stage for him to prove himself, but the prospect does not seem optimistic.
Daily News revealed that Zhang Linpeng said goodbye to the season after suffering an unfortunate fracture in their last match against Seaport. Players such as Andujar, Su Yuanjie, Yang Zihao, Guo Hao and Gao Huazhe are also suffering from serious injuries. Yu Genwei is facing the dilemma of having fewer soldiers and fewer generals in the home match against Beijing Guoan. If you want to grab three points from Beijing Guoan, Yu Genwei must be prepared for everything.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' serious injuries have created a huge challenge for Yu Genwei's tactical deployment. Although the media did not disclose specific information, the situation has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Gen Wei and made Beijing Guoan the biggest winner. Fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation, with some calling for Yu Genwei to lead the team through the difficult times.
Some fans said, "In the last game, tomorrow was warned by two unnecessary yellow cards, this time directly injured. I hope Yu Genwei can lead the team out of the woods!" Other fans thought, "Yu Genwei's tactics have always been excellent, but now they are useless to the players. Fortunately, they have been relegated. The Beijing-Tianjin derby is gradually losing its heat, but the Jinmen Tigers still need to show their strength in this round!"
However, some fans also said, "Go Tianjin Teda, go Beijing Guoan! Before the Beijing-Tianjin derby begins, it is important to ensure safety on and off the field. The Beijing-Tianjin derby was a highly publicized game over a decade ago, but now the game has become tame. Let's hope the referee is fair and allows both teams to play to their character."
