Jinmen Tigers beat Qingdao Youth Island of the Central League 2-0 in the third round of preparations for the new season yesterday, a campaign whose main purpose was to scout trialists.
The pace of the game was relatively smooth, and the Jinmen Tigers coaching team did not deploy too many tactics, but only emphasized the players to play what they had learned in training. Given the limited strength of the opponents and the short preparation time, Jinmen Tigers' victory was not a glittering one, and the club kept a low profile. However, the coaching team recognized the potential shown by some of the trial players and will further observe them in the future.
Jinmen Tigers newly joined former Chinese national team business-oriented coach Zheng Bin, and ushered in the addition of international players Wang Qiuming and Yang Fan, as well as Barton, who returned from training with the national team, and Cai Huikang, who was rumored to be a possible addition to the team, and other strong players. Compared with last year's hastily assembled lineup, the overall strength of the Jinmen Tigers this season has improved significantly. In the current Chinese Super League teams generally "austerity" background, the Jinmen Tigers actively expand the lineup, not only to meet the actual needs, but also revealed a hint of "ambition". It is reported that the transfer window of this season's Chinese Super League will officially open on the 14th of this month, lasting for about a month, when the Jinmen Tigers are expected to carry out precise reinforcements.
According to the established plan, the Jinmen Tigers will play another warm-up match on the 12th with the U21 national team coached by Cheng Yaodong, who will participate in this year's China B League. This warm-up will not only be used to train the team, but the U21 national team players will also be the focus of the Jinmen Tigers' reinforcements. In view of the continuing impact of the epidemic in Shanghai, the specific arrangements for subsequent warm-up matches will be adjusted according to the actual situation.
