Reporter Lu Mi reports This season, the Jinmen Tigers successfully relegated early, successfully completed the set goal, and won the Manatee in the penultimate round of home finale, locking the sixth place in the Chinese Super League one round ahead of schedule, which is also the best ranking achieved by the Jinmen Tigers since the 2010 season. In the last round, the Jinmen Tigers will challenge the harbor away, which is related to the ownership of the Chinese Super League championship, and head coach Yu Genwei said that he will play this game well.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Jinmen Tigers ushered in their last home game, and the opponent was Manatee, who was still at risk of relegation. In this game, TEDA Stadium was full, and the fans hoped to witness a perfect victory, and Yu Genwei also said that he would repay the fans with the victory.
At the beginning of the game, the Jinmen Tigers were very positive and it was clear that they were very well prepared. The cooperation between the front and outside of the field is smooth, and the offensive organization is also very clear, and the combination of wing breakthroughs and central outflanks has been used many times to play exquisite offensive coordination. The Manatees, who are under great pressure from relegation, have little to fight back, and the control of the game has always been in the hands of the Jinmen Tigers.
In the first half alone, the Jinmen Tigers had 10 shots on goal with 6 on target, while Manatee only had 3 shots on goal and 1 on target.
In the second half, the Manatees played some counter-attacks, but the Jinmen Tigers still controlled the game, and after Boakye's stoppage-time goal was blown away, the game ended with the Jinmen Tigers winning completely.
With 3 points, the Jinmen Tigers ended perfectly at home, and because the Zhejiang team only scored 1 point in this round, the advantage of the Jinmen Tigers expanded to 5 points. With the final round of the league remaining, the Tigers have locked up sixth place, which is also the team's best position in the league since 2010.
Speaking after the game, Yu Genwei said: "It was not easy to win the final game at home, as I said in my pre-match press conference yesterday, this game is important for both of us and we got the result we wanted today. Thank you to the players for their dedication and hard work, and to all the fans and friends who have supported us throughout the year. There's one more game and we'll try to play well. ”
The Jinmen Tigers have not been easy to form a team in a hurry at the beginning, and then to stabilize their operations and results year by year. Their case has become a reference model for the future development of many clubs. This team is not without desire, and there have been ups and downs in the process this year, but it is generally stable, and in the case of early relegation, there are still pursuits.
Yu Genwei finally concluded: "In recent years, we have been very clear about our problems, the thickness of the squad is not enough, there are many reasons for this, we first do to tap the potential internally, and then in the limited budget, the introduction of some cost-effective foreign aid, but also to provide potential local players with training opportunities to improve their ability." This is the path we have traveled over the years. Because of this, it's normal to have some ups and downs in the course of the league. Moreover, we are a team that pursues and never gives up, and the more difficult the time, the more this team will burst out with strong combat effectiveness and slowly turn around some bad situations. ”
In the penultimate round of the game, the Jinmen Tigers played the role of a relegation judge fairly, being a roadblock, and performing professionally enough. In the final round, the Jinmen Tigers will go to Shanghai for the final battle against the harbor. At present, Harbour is 1 point ahead of Shenhua, and the results of Jinmen Tiger and Harbour will affect the championship of this year's Chinese Super League.
