Since the concentration on February 17, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have been training in Shanghai for nearly half a month. With the return of head coach Yu Genwei to the team and the launch of the warm-up match, the winter training content of the Jinmen Tigers is gradually transitioning from physical reserves to technical and tactical run-in.
Yu Genwei, head coach of tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who had previously gone abroad to visit relatives, officially began leading the team for winter training on March 1 after returning to China for medical isolation and observation. Although he had not met with the team before, Yu Genwei has been in contact with the coaching staff to understand the training status of the team in real time. On February 27, Yu Genwei commanded the Jinmen Tigers' 1-0 victory over the U21 national youth team as soon as he was released from isolation. The state of the players in the game also satisfied Yu Genwei.

During the quarantine period, after the 17th team was concentrated, I also communicated with the coaching staff and the team every day, and we were doing a tracking monitor of the players every day. Because after all, it is the preparation period, we actually had aerobic reserves for the first two weeks, aerobic core strength, but after the training, we found that the team members did maintain training during the holidays, so the physical condition was very good. We may start adding some training with the ball after a week, or even adding some confrontation training, so we actually trained for 10 days, and on the 11th day we played the first game against the U21 national youth.
Before the start of last season, the Jinmen Tigers rushed out as a team and did not conduct systematic winter training. This also led to a certain gap between the team's physical and technical and tactical coordination at the beginning of the season with other teams. Now, the Jinmen Tigers finally have plenty of preparation period to prepare for the new season.
We can't let that happen again last year, which was a special one. So this year we still have some sufficient time to prepare, so we should carry out this work in an orderly manner. Our original plan was to return to Tianjin at the end of March to prepare for 3-4 weeks of pre-league work. We had planned an invitational tournament in mid-March, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic, so we're going to have to re-adjust our plans a bit in the near future.
On the afternoon of March 1, Wang Qiuming, who had played in Jinmen, appeared on the training ground of the Jinmen Tigers. Since his Hebei team has not been concentrated so far, Wang Qiuming is currently training with his hometown team. It is reported that Yang Fan, who also played in Tianjin, is also expected to come to Shanghai this week to join the training of the Jinmen Tigers. In addition, there are currently a number of young players in the Jinmen Tigers participating in the trial training. Selecting and introducing young players with potential, the Jinmen Tigers are also laying a solid foundation for the future of the team.
In fact, we mainly consider that we hope to introduce more U23 below this year, that is to say, young players, we want to make the age structure of the team more youthful and more rational, because the transfer market may not be able to get the players you like, and our club is also this kind of innovative club, we still hope to be able to tap their own potential. I hope that through our professionalism, through our pursuit of football, rather than other aspects, economic considerations, more thinking about the players are more suitable for this team, which is also the goal we hope to introduce.
In addition to internal support, Tianjin fans are also very concerned about the external incursions of the Jinmen Tigers. At present, in addition to Vinović, the Jinmen Tigers also hope to introduce three new foreign players. Under the current epidemic prevention situation, the introduction of foreign aid is very complicated and cumbersome, and the Jinmen Tiger Club has been working hard for this.
We have also been promoting foreign invocation into this work step by step, because the work of foreign aid is actually different from the work of domestic aid, because of the epidemic, especially the work of foreign aid has not reached the last moment, he did not board the plane and landed, there are uncertainties. Because even if you have all the formalities, 48 hours before boarding the nucleic acid once there is a problem, or can not complete the transaction, so we are now more cautious, but also let the majority of fans rest assured, we have begun to find the right person before the end of last year's league, now basically it should be said that the progress is relatively smooth, but wait for the last moment can not successfully arrive in our country, because of the epidemic, many flights in Europe are still circuit breakers.
