On April 22, Beijing time, this season’s Super League Group B officially kicked off in Suzhou. In a game at the Kunshan Sports Center, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers 1-6 defeated Shanghai Harbour, which was also the second tragic loss in the history of the Super League. The league started after Shanghai SIPG had beaten Dalian Yifang 8-0 at home. However, from the perspective of the scene, the lower limit of the league shown by Tianjin Jinmen Tigers this season will only be lower. Starting from 70 minutes in the second half, Shanghai Haigang began to replace three foreign attackers. If it were not for the mercy of Shanghai Haigang, Jinmen Tigers’ The goals conceded are likely to be in double digits.
The goal of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in this game is to lose less when they lose. Yu Genwei, who served as the head coach of the Super League for the first time, has a 541 formation. A certain effect was achieved in the first 20 minutes, but due to the lack of systematic training of the players, more than 30 minutes later, many Jinmen Tigers have experienced a sharp decline in physical fitness. The Tianjin team’s defense immediately became full of loopholes, relying on Oscar’s two feet. Pass in seconds, the harbor led by 2 goals in the first half. In the second half, the harbour opened the game, scoring 4 goals in 10 minutes from 47 to 57 minutes of the game, expanding the score to 6-0.
With the expansion of the score, the game has lost the significance of the competitive level. When Anautovic scored the sixth goal for the team, the Harbour players did not even have the excitement after scoring, just stepped forward gently. High five to celebrate. In the last minute of the game, the Tianjin team took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to score a face-saving goal by foreign aid Iloki, with this ball to save a trace of face.
From the technical statistics after the game, the possession rate of Haigang reached 73%, while the possession rate of Tianjin Jinmenhu was only 27%, and the number of shots by Haigang was as high as 22 times. Jinmenhu only had a pitiful 3 times. From the perspective of the offenses completed in the game, the harbor completed 164 offenses and created 96 dangers, while the Jinmen Tigers only completed 67 offenses, and only 16 offensives that created a certain threat were made. No matter from which point of view, this is not a level of league contest.
It is difficult to give more criticism to the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers’ fiasco. Before the official start of the league, this team only trained for less than three weeks. Correspondingly, the club’s five-month “disorder” If it were not for the forced “resurrection” on March 28, Tianjin Football would have bid farewell to the Super League territory.
After cleaning up the remaining strength of Tianjin TEDA, the current Jinmen Tigers can only meet the registration requirements of the Super League in terms of numbers. Many of the new forces the club has added in the transfer market have not experienced systematic winter training. Two foreign aid central defenders, Kadar, played for Shandong Luneng last season and are considered to be of average level, while former foreign aid Iloki played for Sichuan Youbixuan last season, and was subsequently loaned to Suzhou Soochow by Youbixuan on a temporary loan. In May, although he scored a goal in this game, he is basically only a foreign aid at the level of China. Jinmen Tigers starting forward Li Xiang, although he came from TEDA youth training, but did not represent TEDA’s record in the Super League. Before that, he had been mixed in low-level leagues such as China A and China B.
Such a lineup, don’t mention the Super League, in the eyes of many insiders, I am afraid that the competitiveness is not as good as that of many Chinese A teams. Although Tianjin Football ultimately retained the Chinese Super League qualification “dramatically”, with such a team, how to survive in the Chinese Super League deserves outside attention. Last season, Tianjin Teda did not have a win in the 14th round of the league, but using the special format, it was lucky to be relegated in the knockout stage. This season, if the Tianjin Tianjin Tigers cannot introduce strong support in the second transfer window, their overall performance will only be better than last season’s TEDA. More tragic.
Although the head coach Yu Genwei affirmed the team’s fighting spirit after the game, the current situation of the team may be difficult to change in the short term. The “resurrected” Tianjin Jinmen Tigers has greatly refreshed the lower limit of the Chinese Super League, and this has an impact on the overall trend of the league. I am afraid it will also have a profound impact. (Sohu Sports Pei Li)
