Shocker! China's soccer world is set for a heavyweight showdown on August 7, when Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will face rival Beijing Guoan in their home stadium. According to Tianjin's local media, the Daily News, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' main players such as Andujar, Guo Hao and Gao Huaze, including the star of the show, have suffered different degrees of injuries, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the team.
Looking back at the recent performance of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the team has only won one game in six rounds of matches after the last round of league matches against Shanghai Harbor, dropping to the eighth place in the table. Although the team is temporarily away from the relegation zone, their previous excellent performance has suddenly declined, and manager Yu Genwei has been under tremendous pressure as a result. In the Beijing-Tianjin derby, Yu Genwei is expected to prove himself, but the reality is not optimistic.
A Daily News report noted, "Zhang Linpeng unfortunately suffered a broken left foot in the match against Seaport and is out for the season, while Andujar, Su Yuanjie, Yang Zihao, Guo Hao, and Gao Huazhe are among the players who have suffered serious injuries. Facing the challenge of hosting Beijing Guoan, Yu Genwei is short of players and will have to go all out if he wants to keep the three points."
According to reports from the Daily News, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have serious injury problems, posing a huge challenge to Yu Genwei's tactical deployment. Although the media did not disclose specific information, this situation undoubtedly caused a heavy blow to Gen Wei and made Beijing Guoan the biggest winner. Fans have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation.
A fan said, "In the last game, I was sorry to see the red card exit tomorrow. I hope Yu Genwei can lead the team through this!" Some other fans thought, "Yu Genwei's tactics have been highly praised, but in the face of injuries, these tactics pale in comparison. Fortunately, the team has been relegated, and I hope the Beijing-Tianjin derby will reignite the fire and the Jinmen Tigers will show strong momentum in this round of matches!"
Of course, there are also fans making noises like, "Tianjin Teda, Beijing Guoan, go for it! Before the Beijing-Tianjin derby begins, make sure you stay calm both on and off the field. The Beijing-Tianjin derby of a decade ago was full of passion, but now it has become bland. I hope the referee will enforce the law fairly so that both teams can play at their best."
