1:1 draw with Henan Songshan Longmen, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers won the second draw of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, from the score point of view, both teams are not satisfied with a draw, especially the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, 1 point not only failed to open the point gap with Qingdao team behind them, but also did not get themselves out of the position of being in the relegation play-off area, and the relegation situation was not optimistic.
In this match with Henan, the strong Jinmen Tigers have the main force, there are foreign aides in the front, middle and back three lines, and Iloki, who failed to play in the last round of matches, also appeared in the starting lineup, and Barton and Magno formed the strongest forward configuration of the team at this stage, but in the face of Henan team with the same 4 foreign aides, the team did not play the ideal offensive effect. Perhaps jealous that the other side has such tall center-backs as Schonic and Gu Cao, the Jinmen Tigers did not constantly send out crosses from the side as they did in the last round against Chongqing, but instead walked the ground as much as possible and sought the cross-cutting cooperation under their feet. On the forward offense, the team has also improved, reducing a lot of unnecessary cross-passing and return passes.
It's just that the Henan team, which has always been known for its excellent defense, did not let the Jinmen Tigers take too much advantage in the offensive end, and the overly tight defense made it difficult for Barton and Ilocchi to play their speed advantage, while the Jinmen Tigers could only look for offensive opportunities in the way of big feet and long passes, and looking closely at the game, all the threats of the Jinmen Tigers came from the long passes of the team's midfield.
In the 22nd minute, Zhao Yingjie sent a top pass from midfield to find Ilocki on the front line, and Ilocchi used his speed to grab the ball and crossed it to Barton, who adjusted his foot slightly to block the door by the defender.
In the 57th minute, Zhao Yingjie's long pass from midfielder magno found magno in front of him, and Magno burst into the box with his left foot to shoot high.
In the 86th minute, Kadar's long pass from the back found Xie Weijun on the left, and Xie Weijun picked out Shi Yan, who burst into the box and was put down by the opposing defender, and the team won a penalty.
It was the best three attacking chances the Tsumen Tigers had in this game, all from long passes from midfield. Combining the two games, the attack of the Jinmen Tiger seems to be only a simple and rough over-the-top long pass and a stable midfielder that constantly falls down. Insisting on walking on the ground and seeking a small range of cooperation with teammates through foot technology may be more suitable for today's Jinmen Tigers, after all, the foot skills of players such as Barton, Magno and Zhou Tong are not bad, and they have the ability to play a small range of passing and cutting coordination to create pressure on the opponent's defense.
In the next game, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will face Qingdao team at the bottom of the points, although the situation of Qingdao team, which has lost 11 consecutive games in the league, is not good, but in the 2020 season, Qingdao team has doubled the Jinmen Tigers at home and away, which also allows Qingdao to occupy a considerable psychological advantage, if the Jinmen Tigers can improve in attack, they may be able to get the points they want in this relegation life and death battle.
