With the arrival of Beijing time on May 31, the national football team has its first match in the prelude to the resumption of the 40-team tournament, and the Chinese Super League has had to pause in order to allow the national football team to devote all its efforts to the World Qualification Tournament. In the blink of an eye, three weeks later, the former members of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will once again take on their old bosses Beijing Guoan. The release of Cong Zhen, the main player, will undoubtedly give the team a shot in the arm, and Yu Genwei's deployment in the center and backfield will have more possibilities.
Cong Zhen was red-carded against Hebei and not only missed the subsequent clash with the Dalianers, but also missed the match against Wuhan due to the additional penalty imposed by the CFA. Now that his suspension has expired, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will face Beijing Guoan after the break, and Cong Zhen's return will be a huge boon for the team.
Cong Zhen's absence has allowed Tianjin Jinmen Tigers to try out a brand new midfield lineup in the last two rounds of the league, with the likes of Gao Jiarun, Chen Kerui, and Zhao Yingjie all getting a chance to play. Cong Zhen's return will undoubtedly provide more options for Yu Genwei's staffing in the middle of the midfield. There is uncertainty as to whether Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will play three center backs or four, and whether Gao Jiarun will stay in the midfield or move to center back.
For Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, this interval is crucial. Not only do they have to solve the problem of attracting new players, but they also have to improve their physical fitness and polish their tactics through daily training. Fortunately, no international players have been called up, which makes the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' preparation lineup relatively complete, and the preparation for the next tournament will be more targeted.
