On February 13, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers welcomed the fifth foreign aid, Ademi, to their training base on Jeju Island. This means that the team's lineup of five foreign aiders for this season is now all in place.
In the late afternoon of the third day of the first month of the Lunar New Year, the reorganized Tianjin Jinmen Tigers embarked on a journey to South Korea to prepare for the upcoming Chinese Super League (CSL) sprint. Upon arrival in Jeju Island, fifth foreign aid player Ademi made his appearance at the hotel where the team is staying, and the team held a short welcome ceremony for him according to tradition. Head coach Yu Genwei revealed that the team's preparation will enter an accelerated phase with the addition of all foreign aiders.
Immediately after Ademi's arrival in South Korea, the coaching team communicated with him in depth, paying attention to his health and the characteristics of his style of play. It is worth mentioning that the Swedish Super League has similarities with the Chinese Super League in terms of its system. Ademi started his season preparation for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers after the Vanamer FC match on November 12 last year. In contrast, Compagno has been keeping his competitive form due to the Romanian First Division's inter-annual format. Observing the last two days of training, it seems that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers need a brand new lineup.
While on Jeju Island, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have scheduled three warm-up matches and have confirmed that they will play two matches on February 17 and 22 respectively.
