On March 6, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, which were training in Shanghai for winter, ushered in the second warm-up match of this preparation period, against the Shanghai Harbor Reserve Team. In the end, the Jinmen Tigers shook hands with their opponents in a 2-2 draw, and in this ups and downs of the warm-up game, the Jinmen Tigers had a lot of gains. What is even more surprising is that Zheng Bin, who has just been hired as the technical director of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger Football Club, also watched the game on the spot.
Zheng Bin, 45, a Hubei football coach, was invited by Jinmen Tigers to serve as the club's technical director. As a player, Zheng Bin was known for his excellent skills and free kick kung fu, he served as the captain of the Wuhan team and was selected for the national team many times. After retiring, Zheng Bin embarked on a coaching position, and during Li Tie's coaching of the national team, he was also a member of the coaching staff of the national football team. Before zheng bin officially joined the team, he already had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the Jinmen Tigers. After arriving in Shanghai on March 6, he also rushed to the Kangqiao training base to watch the warm-up match of the Jinmen Tigers, and the team held a small welcome party for him before dinner, and coach Yu Genwei introduced the team to the whole team.
The warm-up match between the Jinmen Tigers and the Harbor Reserve Team was divided into three sections, each quarter was 40 minutes, and in the first quarter, the Jinmen Tigers played with existing players, although they occupied the initiative on the scene from the beginning, but while pursuing the attack, the back line made mistakes and was first scored by the Harbor team. Although it was only a warm-up game, the Jinmen Tigers still wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, but the rush to achieve success made the Jinmen Tigers' attacks repeatedly fail.

Assistant coach of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers Football Team
I think first of all the players are working very hard in the game, and they are also very full of effort to follow the tactics deployed by the coaches, and do it in a targeted manner, but maybe their bodies are in a state of fatigue now, and I can feel from this game that the players may still need to have a space to improve physically, and then they also need to improve their things in some details through some intensive training.
After seeing that the performance of the team members did not match their own strength, Yu Genwei, the coach who commanded the game, also gave the team members a face-to-face opportunity after the first quarter of the game. Of course, the results of the warm-up match are not the most important, especially since the team is currently in the process of transforming from physical reserves to technical and tactical exercises.
The main thing is to test the physical condition of the trained players during this time through the game, and the other is to let them find the feeling of the game as soon as possible, which I think is the main thing. Because we used to train physically some time ago, physical reserves, and then slowly transitioned to some technical and tactical training, then we will also have several warm-up matches, and slowly there will be some technical and tactical requirements in it.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Jinmen Tigers began to change hands sharply, and the team's trial players were on the field. These young players who are trying out cherish the opportunity to prove themselves in front of the coaching staff. Towards the end of the second quarter, the trial players went through a series of combinations to create an opportunity for Wang Jiannan, who scored to make the score 1-1. In the third quarter of the game, the Jinmen Tigers continued to suppress the opponent, and the trial player Shi Yiyi got a one-handed opportunity and scored the ball. Although the Harbor Reserve team set the score at 2-2 through the bottom line in the final moments, both goals of the Tsumen Tigers had a lot to do with the trial players, which at least showed that the trial players showed a very positive attitude in the warm-up match. Next, they will continue to be inspected by the coaching staff in a series of warm-up matches.
Now there are more players who come to the team for trial training, some of them play in the middle A and B teams, and then there are some players under U21 and U23. Now it's mainly based on some young players, or consider some young players, and then in the overage players, we need to look further and then add to it according to the needs of the position.
According to the plan, the winter training of the Jinmen Tigers in Shanghai will end on March 22, and the team will return to Tianjin on the 23rd. In the remaining time of this Shanghai winter training, the Jinmen Tigers plan to play four more warm-up matches, against Qingdao Youth Island, U21 National Football Team, Nantong Zhiyun and Beijing Guoan. At the same time, there will be players who come to the team for trial training, and if nothing else, there will be players who are well known to the majority of fans.
