Live broadcast on 1/0 Jinmen Tigers drew 0-0 with Dalian InBev in the last round and will play against Harbour in the next round. "Football Daily" wrote an article that the pressure and opportunity coexist in this game.
The Jinmen Tigers will welcome the nemesis of the past few seasons, Shanghai Port. However, this time, the Jinmen Tiger can be described as "pressure and opportunity".
這次連打兩個客場的征程,津門虎遭遇了傷病的困擾,薩爾瓦多、阿代米以及楊帆的接連傷病,讓球隊只能在和大連英博的比賽中以殘陣應對。好在基萊斯延續了自己火熱的狀態,打入個人聯賽第7個進球。目前,中超仍有6支球隊的總進球沒有超過基萊斯。
After returning from Dalian, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will start preparing for this Wednesday's home game against Shanghai Port. With the match between Harbour and Henan postponed due to weather conditions, and Tianjin midfielder Huang Jiahui and central defender Rose were suspended for a yellow card against Dalian InBev, this battle against the reigning champions of the Chinese Super League seems to be getting more and more difficult.
In the past few seasons, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have been almost defenseless against Shanghai Port. In the two-legged league plus the FA Cup in the 11 season, the Jinmen Tigers lost all three games against Harbour, with an overall score of 0-0. In the past four years, the two teams have met ten times, and the Jinmen Tigers have only won one and drawn two, and lost the remaining seven games, including two five-goal defeats. In these ten encounters, the Jinmen Tigers have only scored three goals in total.
Of course, in the past few years, Shanghai Port has strong foreign aid such as Oscar and Vargas, and its strength is significantly higher than that of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, and it is reasonable for them to achieve an overwhelming advantage in the results of both sides. However, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers seem to see a different situation in this game.
Due to the postponement of the Shanghai Port away game against Henan, the suspension of coach Muscat, defensive main Li Shuai and Wei Zhen also needs to be postponed to the match against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. In addition, the strength of Shanghai Port's foreign aid has declined significantly this season. In the 5th round of the Shanghai derby, none of the foreign players in the front field of Shanghai Port scored or assisted data.
At the moment, Gustavo has scored 1 goals, Leonardo has 0 goals, and Yusa has also scored 0 goals, and the total number of goals scored by the three is just equal with the ace scorer of the Jinmen Tigers. Judging from the data of foreign aid goals, Muscat's foreign aid cards this season are obviously not as good as in previous years. Therefore, the Jinmen Tigers have the advantage of being at home and can fight for it.
Judging from the opening stage of the league, the impression of Jinmen Tiger to the outside world is quite amazing. This season, there have been a lot of changes in the squad, and the team has not brought in a good local right wing-back or central defender. In this case, the team has been unbeaten since the beginning, and the team's new foreign players have performed well this season, which reflects Yu Genwei's very good adjustment of the team.
In the first six rounds, the Jinmen Tigers won two wins and drew four. From round 3 onwards, the team began to experience injuries one after another, which gradually increased the difficulties faced by the team. After the break, the Chinese Super League teams are facing a very dense April schedule, which is a very difficult test for the Jinmen Tigers with average squad depth.
Midfielder El Salvador was injured in the match between the Jinmen Tigers and Qingdao Manatee at home in the 3th round. After the game, he was diagnosed with three second-degree or higher deltoid ligament complex tears in his right ankle and is expected to miss four weeks. El Salvador's injury has affected the formation of the Tigers in midfield, especially in terms of attacking advancement.
However, in the subsequent 4th round of the Chinese Super League, the Jinmen Tigers almost won the game with Keles' outstanding performance in the home "Jinjing Derby". Being able to wrestle with the giants at home is also the confidence that they dare to expect to make a difference in the harbor.
After the home match with Guoan, the Jinmen Tigers ushered in two consecutive away games, with an interval of 6 days. In the first away game against Qingdao West Coast, which is also unbeaten in the league, the Jinmen Tigers attacked strongly and established a goal advantage at half-time, but defensive problems were gradually exposed in the second half. The result was a draw. But after this game, Yang Fan in the backline, midfielders Ademi and Shi Yan also suffered injuries. The Jinmen Tigers can only cope with the match between the promoted horse Dalian InBev with a residual formation.
Bringing back a point from Dalian, the Jinmen Tigers are still unbeaten after six rounds. However, in this campaign, the Jinmen Tigers' already crippled lineup added two more key players to the suspension, Huang Jiahui and foreign aid Rose will miss the home game against Shanghai Port because of the accumulation of four yellow cards.
In the 10th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port was originally an away game against Henan, but as soon as the team arrived in Zhengzhou, they received the news that the game was postponed due to weather conditions. In a hurry, I stayed in Zhengzhou for one night, and the next day I took the high-speed train back to Shanghai. In terms of physical fitness, the Jinmen Tigers 0 days 0 games, plus personnel injuries, the overall relative weakness, Shanghai Port in a few days of rest, in the 0 day will go to Tianjin, between the two rounds of the game 0 days, it can be said that the attitude of waiting for work in the face of the Jinmen Tigers.
In the last round last year, Shanghai Port defeated Jinmen Tigers 1-0 at home. Oscar and Vargas each scored a goal, and Wu Lei scored twice, but this season, Oscar and Vargas have left the harbor, and Wu Lei has not been able to resume the game for the time being due to injury. And in the Harbour lineup, there are also suspended players in the defensive lineup, and head coach Muscat has also been banned for 0 games because of his remarks. Therefore, the Jinmen Tigers are not without opportunities.
In this game, the Jinmen Tigers will have to further restructure the squad according to injuries and suspensions, especially in the defensive line. Xie Weijun, who played a cameo in the central defender in the last round, contributed 14 clearances, the highest in the game, indicating that Yu Genwei's transformation of Xie Weijun during the winter training period has begun to bear fruit. With Wong Ka Fai and Rose suspended at the same time, a new defensive combination will inevitably be born, which may have a lack of run-in for the new centre-back combination, and it is necessary to avoid being caught by the opponent as a breakthrough.
Although Shanghai Port also has a defect in the lineup, the overall strength is still superior, and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are extremely difficult to fight at home under the double blow of injury and suspension. However, midfielders Wang Qiuming and Kiles are in hot form, Keles has contributed 1 goals and 0 assists in 0 games this season, and his finishing ability is still the most powerful magic weapon of the Jinmen Tigers. The key to the game was the ability of the Jinmen Tigers to resist pressure and the efficiency of counter-attacks.
