Yu Genwei may have had other ideas in mind, but his actual performance on the green field didn't quite seem to keep up with his vision. Wang Qiuming replaced Fiorici in the 70th minute, a change that could be attributed to the former's injury. Toward the final whistle, Yu Genwei decisively removed two strikers, Barton and Ademi, and replaced them with Xie Weijun and Wang Xianjun. While adjusting the defensive formation, he still kept a striker, but in the end he was unable to hold on for the win.
With Zhejiang's victory, they have overtaken Tsimshatsui Tigers, widening the gap to three points. Tsimshatsui Tigers have fallen from the leader of the second group to the front of the third group. They have fallen behind in their push for the top four. Thankfully, Jinmen Tigers will face Qingdao Hainiu in the next round. Looking at the standings, Jinmen Tigers have a stable win in their grasp, but Guoan only collected one point against Hainiu. The relegation team is in poor form. Jinmen Tigers can't just power through the second half. They have to beat Qingdao Hainiu if they want to cling to the top four.
The national soccer team released the new training list. Jinmen Tigers' Han Pengfei and Xie Weijun managed to make the cut, while Barton, Wang Qiuming and tomorrow missed out. Han Pengfei, a late bloomer, held up the backbone of the Jinmen Tigers' defense in Grant's absence. Since Yu Genwei took charge, he has produced at least a couple of internationals, even if their results have not been outstanding. Yu Genwei has become a deserving leader in the Chinese Super League, an environment where coaches have little room to survive. Facing the resignation of his FA Cup rival, Li Jin Yu, the head coach of the Central League's Yunnan Yukun team, Yu Gen Wei and Li Jin Yu did not have the chance to face each other directly, but who can guarantee that they won't meet again in the Chinese Super League this year?
