On January 3, Beijing time, the Chinese Super League Tianjin Jinmen Tigers ushered in the final round of the league of the season, which was played by Tianjin Jinmen Tigers against Cangzhou Lions, which was also a relegation life and death battle for Jinmen Tigers. In the case of two relegation opponents Dalian ren and Chongqing team won the victory, with the sharp general Xie Weijun near the final game of a kill, tianjin Jinmen Tigers finally defeated the Cangzhou Lions 1-0, and finally directly relegated with the result of 4th place in the relegation group and 12th place in the overall standings!
Since entering the second stage, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who are trapped in the relegation group, have won 3 key victories with 3 kills, and these three wins are all standard kills of about 90 minutes, and for the Team of Jinmen Tigers, which is almost a patchwork team, it can only be said that the energy stimulated by relegation is really too powerful. With the dazzling performance of 10 points in the last four rounds of the game, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers finally completed the relegation task with difficulty.
Xie Weijun, who is 1.90 meters tall, contributed to the death of this relegation battle, and he can be called the relegation hero of Jinmen Tiger. The three relegation battles of this round of the league started at the same time, as two relegation rivals Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Dalian Renren both took the lead in the second half. However, the Jinmen Tigers have not scored for a long time, and if this 0-0 score is maintained until the end, the Jinmen Tigers will have to participate in the promotion and relegation play-offs, and the fate of the difficult team will be unpredictable. When Tsumen's life was hanging in the balance, Yu Genwei, the head coach who had no way back, made perhaps the most important substitution of the season, and in the second half he replaced the attacking players Magno and Xie Weijun, sending a signal of full attack.
Magno and Xie Weijun both played in the battle, which did add pressure to the Cangzhou Lions' backline, and finally the two substitute players joined forces to create a goal that saved the fate of the Jinmen Tigers. The game was nearing the end, and in the 85th minute, Magno received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, turned around and shot but regrettably hit the goalbeat, and Xie Weijun scored a dexterous shot at the critical moment. The Lions then questioned the goal with a handball first, after which the referee looked back at the VAR and finally decided that the goal was valid.
The 2021 season of the Chinese Super League relegation group drama finally settled, with Xie Weijun's goal, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the last moment of relegation success, and won the league 12th place good result, Dalian ren team although the last battle 4:1 victory, but still ranked second to last, can only go with Qingdao team to participate in the play-off. Jinmen Tiger was successfully relegated, and the 1.90-meter forward Xie Weijun was called the team's relegation hero. The previous year's league Team Tianjin also relied on the goals of Xie Weijun and Zhao Yingjie in the last game to relegate. Three years ago, Xie Weijun's header made Tianjin's relegation road peak turn, and yesterday it was Xie Weijun's golden goal that helped Tianjin team finally succeed in relegation, and Jinmen Tiger's relegation is really to thank God Xie Weijun! I have to say that perhaps Xiao Xie's performance in many daily games does not seem to be satisfactory, but he has turned the tide twice, and as a relegation blessing, he should definitely become a hero of Tianjin football and be remembered by fans.
It is worth mentioning that yesterday's kill was also the only goal scored by Xie Weijun in the entire 2021 season, although not a prolific striker, but Xiao Xie's role on the field is very important, and he will do his best as long as he appears. In the match in which Tianjin Jinmen Tigers beat Chongqing 1-0, Li Songyi's goal came from the set-pieces that Xie Weijun won for the team by actively fighting in the front. To talk about Jinmen Hu's relegation heroes this year, Xie Weijun's contribution is indispensable.
Xie Weijun once went to the United Kingdom, Portugal and Brazil to study football in the West, joined the Guangzhou Evergrande Echelon after returning to China in 18 years, and later joined the Tianjin team, 1 meter 9 Xie Weijun can play high striker and winger position, and has also been selected for the Chinese Olympic team. In fact, since joining Tianjin, Xie Weijun has scored few goals in the league, but every ball is very important, according to statistics, in several games in which Xiao Xie scored, Jinmen Tigers have all won, and two of them directly helped the team to relegate. Although Xie Weijun usually plays tepidly and sometimes always wastes opportunities, he can often stand up at critical times, which proves the strength of his psychological quality and shows the important role of Xie Weijun to the team.
As the saying goes, tiger fathers have no dogs, And Xie Weijun's football talent comes from his father, who is the former well-known international footballer Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin, a national football star with a height of 1 meter 69, was once the core of the national team's midfield organization, although he was short in stature but his skills were outstanding, Xie Yuxin's career left many good memories for fans. After retiring from the army, Xie Yuxin has been engaged in coaching work, and has served as the head coach of Guangzhou R&F Reserve Team and the head coach of The Daqin Zhishui Team in the Chinese League A.
Xie Yuxin is only 1 meter 69 tall, as a representative of the southern football, people send nicknamed "short-footed tiger", but the height of his son Xie Weijun is as high as 1 meter 9, the contrast between the two people is very obvious. In fact, Xie Weijun's tall son was mainly inherited from his mother. It is reported that Xie Weijun's mother was also a female footballer, with a height of 1 meter 7, which is very high among Chinese women, and it seems that Xie Weijun inherited the advantages of both parents.
