With the autumn breeze in the air, the fire of the Chinese Super League (CSL) season is burning brightly. Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan will battle it out in the final six rounds of the season, while Dalian Ren and Nantong Zhiyun will do their best to secure a foothold in next season's league.
Apart from these four focal points, most of the remaining Chinese Super League teams have no ambition to win the title, and many clubs have already set their sights on reinforcement plans for next season, even including the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who have been impressive this season.
At the beginning of the season, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers were on a roll with 16 rounds of undefeated performance. However, since July, the team's form has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with 9 consecutive rounds without a win. In the last round, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers beat Meizhou Hakka 3-1 at home, finally breaking the curse of losing streak.
In this victory, the foreign striker Belichick performed brightly, hit two dollars, and became the key figure of the team's victory. Beric's excellent play won the team and coach Yu Genwei unanimous recognition, Yu Genwei especially appreciate the role of Beric in Tianjin.
It is reported that the Jinmen Tigers club has agreed on a contract extension with Beric, and both sides are about to sign a new contract that will see the Slovenian striker play for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the Chinese Super League for the second consecutive season.
The 32-year-old Belichick was not able to quickly adapt to the pace of the Chinese Super League when he joined Tianjin Jinmen Tigers last season, and his performance was not satisfactory, and he was even teased by fans as a "water foreign aid". However, Yu Genwei gave him his trust and renewed his contract at the beginning of this year. Belichick has lived up to expectations, revitalized this season, so far scored 7 goals, many times staged a good show to save the day.
Beric did not disappoint the Zim Tigers management with his poor performances last season, after all, he had an illustrious career with Ligue 1 powerhouse St Etienne, where he was the team's starting center forward and scored goals in the Europa League.
In Tianjin, Beric is not only a goal-scoring machine, but also the fulcrum of the team's forwards with his 1.9 meter height, providing strong support to his teammates. In addition, he also plays a key role in set-piece defense, often staving off opposing headers. In the duel with Shandong Taishan, Beric successfully limited the opponent's Jadson, allowing the opponent to receive a red card for impulsiveness and was banned by the Football Association.
As Belic plays a vital role in both offense and defense for Tianjin, the club has decided to extend his contract early for the remaining 6 rounds of the season. We look forward to Belic and Tianjin Tigers completing their signing as soon as possible and continuing to play well next season to help the team achieve another successful season!
