On December 12, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers ushered in the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Although the face of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic failed to achieve the "opening red", but in the unfavorable situation of the team's backwardness, foreign aid Vinović's free kick "full moon curved knife" World Wave broke the goal, making everyone's eyes shine. Vinovic scored such an important goal in his league debut and helped the team score a valuable 1 point, and the Dutch midfielder gave everyone more hope for his next performance.
Vinović's goal came in the 59th minute of the match, when the Tsumen Tigers were already 0-1 behind, and just 5 minutes after the opponent scored, Vinović seized the free kick opportunity to complete his debut goal for the Tsumen Tigers to help the team equalize.
However, Vinovic is not the only tianjin new signing to score directly through a free kick in his league debut. In the 15th round of the 2010 Chinese Super League, Tianjin team faced Henan Jianye at TEDA Football Stadium. Chen Tao, who joined Tianjin in the middle of the season, did not appear in the starting lineup, and in the 73rd minute of the game, Chen Tao replaced Wang Xinxin and made his debut for Tianjin. The game is about to enter the injury time stage, Tianjin team won a free kick opportunity, Chen Tao kicked out the "full moon curved knife", the ball hung straight to the dead corner of the goal. Chen Tao's first appearance at the TEDA football stadium was a stunning four-seater, he not only helped Tianjin team to kill the opponent 2-1, but also quickly conquered the Tianjin fans.
After Chen Tao, foreign aid Andrei Bird also copied this classic. In the 17th round of the 2013 Chinese Super League, Tianjin, playing at home, played against liaoning Hongyun at the time, and tianjin took a one-goal lead in the first half with Valencia's goal. In the 56th minute of the second half, Tianjin won a free kick opportunity in the front of the penalty area, and and Andrezinho, who joined the team, scored directly in the penalty to help Tianjin win 3-1 over Liaoning Hongyun, who played in the all-China class. In that game, the "Flamingo" not only completed a direct free kick to score, he also showed his footwork many times, and the Brazilian foreign aid entered the heart of Tianjin fans.
Interestingly, the three free-kicks of Vinovic, Chen Tao and "Flamingo" are very similar in shooting positions, all at the front of the big penalty area, on the left side of the attacking side, and the opponents of these three goals are all teams wearing red jerseys, namely Chongqing, Henan and Liaoning. For these three new signings, they all achieved the "opening red" of Tianjin's career as desired.
The wonderful "full moon curved knife" broke through the door, and it also instantly evoked everyone's memories of the past. Today, Chen Tao has devoted himself to youth training and has become the head coach of the U16 echelon of Shenzhen Football Club. Last month, Chen Tao just led the Shenzhen U16 team to win the "Origins Cup", and he also shared his youth training experience with everyone at the recent online training meeting held by the Chinese Football Association.
After leaving Tianjin, Andreziño chose to return to Brazil to play, after which he moved to Vasco da Gama, Atlético Goiás and other teams. In 2019, the "Flamingo", who has reached the age of 36, officially announced his retirement. Today, he is the technical coordinator at The New Iguazu, a Brazilian lower league club.
In fact, in the history of Tianjin team, there are not a few foreign aides with outstanding free kick ability. In the 2019 season, Sandro Lopez, who came to the title of Bayern center forward, shot in the field. Wagner became one of the biggest foreign aides in the history of tianjin. However, at the beginning of the league, the much-anticipated Wagner did not get any results in the 11 league games he played, until in the 14th round of the league tianjin team against Shandong Taishan, Wagner completed the goal, and he finally found the feeling of scoring. That season, Wagner scored 12 goals, and in the 26th round of the league, in the home win over Beijing Renhe, he scored a wonderful direct free kick.
However, to the regret of Tianjin fans, Wagner did not stay in Tianjin for too long. On 24 July 2020, Wagner terminated his contract with the club, and when he returned to Germany, he unexpectedly chose to retire early. Today, Wagner is the head coach of Unterhachen in Germany's fourth division, and his next goal as a coach is to one day become one of the world's top coaches.
Diagne is a controversial player who has conquered the fans of Tsu City with his outstanding performances, and has also been in a slump due to his lazy attitude and indisciplinary behavior, which eventually made the club suffer. However, this does not prevent Diagne from becoming a relegation hero for Tianjin in 2016. In the 27th round of the 2016 Chinese Super League, Tianjin team challenged Yanbian Fude away. It was with Diagne's free-kick goal that Teda finally won 2-1 and scored an important three-pointer on the road to relegation, and this "dislike of the Chinese First Division" foreign aid helped the team to successfully stay in the Chinese Super League.
After leaving Tianjin, Diagne has gone through several turns and now plays for the Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray. However, this "bad boy" who does not know how to restrain himself is still controversial on and off the court, which makes head coach Trim a headache.
In the history of tianjin, there is also a foreign center-back who is known for his free kicks, that is, Brazilian foreign aid Da Costa, who is affectionately called "Xiaoxiao" by Tianjin fans. The foreign player, who played for Uruguay's top team Nationals, was selected by Jin Zhiyang in 1999, but due to contract problems, he did not join Tianjin Teda until 2002 under the matchmaking of Nelsson. In the 2002 season, Xiaoxiao was the highest appearance rate among the team's foreign aides, starting 26 of the 30 league games and scoring 3 goals. In the penultimate round of the league, Tianjin team drew 3-3 away to Yunnan Hongta, and before the final game, Tianjin team was still 2-3 behind, and it was Xiaoxiao's powerful free kick that fixed the score at 3-3.
In the 1998 season, Tianjin, who was still playing in the first division B at the time, completed the replacement of foreign aid in the middle of the league, and the Uruguayan big-name foreign aid Remos came to the team, although he only played for the team for half a season, but his excellent organizational ability and direct free kick kung fu left a deep impression on the Jinmen fans, and finally he helped tianjin team to rush A successfully with an undefeated record. Of course, at that time, Remos, who was an International Uruguayan, was able to play in the First Division B, which was largely in the face of the warm invitation of the then Tianjin coach Gimenez, which was a bit faceless.
Looking at domestic players, Tianjin has a signature free kick master in almost every period. Far away, Han Jinming, Gao Fei, Zhang Xiaorui and Chen Licheng in the A era, Han Yanming, Lu Yan, Wu Wei'an, Arthur Junmin, Wang Xinxin, etc. in the Chinese Super League era, they all have classic free kicks that make Tianjin fans remember endlessly.
In the 2002 A-League, Tianjin Teda played shaanxi guoli at home, and Zhang Xiaorui announced his return with a free kick.
In the 2007 Chinese Super League season, Tianjin Teda played at home against the Xiamen Blue Lions, and Arthur Junmin kicked a free kick fast and angled, playing the former national anqi without the slightest reaction.
In recent years, Tianjin's local players have also been good at scoring free kicks directly. Last season, the second leg of the relegation group of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, the second leg of the relegation group, the first time 2-0 defeated Dalian's Tianjin team, 1-2 loss to the opponent, but finally still with a total score of 3-2 in two legs, the team also completed the Chinese Super League "Bao ten" season goal. In that crucial relegation battle, Tianjin centre-back Song Yue scored a stunning free-kick in the 79th minute of the game, and it was this goal that helped the team rewrite the score to 1-2, and Tianjin avoided a stoppage time play with Dalian.
Also last season, the second round of the league matched Tianjin against Shanghai Harbor. Just 6 minutes after the start of the game, Tianjin team won a free kick opportunity, Rong Hao directly scored the goal, Tianjin team took the lead, and veteran Rong Hao regained his vitality in Tianjin. This season, Rong Hao returned to his hometown to join the Chinese League A team Wuhan Sanzhen, in the 32nd round of the Chinese League A that ended on the 13th, Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Kunshan 2-0, two rounds of success in the early round, Rong Hao also returned to the Chinese Super League stage again as desired.
