In the 18th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on July 8, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Changchun Yatai played to a 2-2 draw. It is worth noting that former Jinmen Tigers player Zhou Tong visited the TEDA soccer stadium together with New Zealand's Auckland City Football Club.
Zhou Tong said: "Returning to my hometown and meeting my former coaches, comrades and enthusiastic fans has brought me a lot of warmth. As a Tianjin soccer player who has worked hard at home and abroad, I know that the friendship between China and Singapore is deep, and the cultural exchanges between the two countries are especially valuable, especially the interaction in the field of youth soccer. I believe that this is not only my role, but also my mission."
It has been announced that Zhou Tong will lead Auckland's U13 Combined Team on a visit to China from July 5th to 13th. After completing five days of training in Tianjin, they will visit the Great Wall in Beijing before heading to Shanghai and returning to Auckland on July 13th.
