On the evening of March 23, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' target foreign aid, Fari Rosa, arrived in Tianjin by high-speed rail after 14 days of medical isolation and observation in Shanghai. He will continue his home health observation in Tianjin for 7 days. At present, Rosa has not officially signed with the Jinmen Tigers.
Rosa, 28, previously played for The Tel Aviv Workers in Israel. A winger and forward, he made 19 appearances last season, with four goals and one assist. Rosa has also played in leagues such as Greece, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus and Ukraine.
Rosa flew from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Shanghai on the afternoon of March 9. In accordance with the mainland's epidemic prevention policy, he began a 14-day medical isolation observation in Shanghai. At that time, the Jinmen Tigers were still conducting winter training in Shanghai. However, due to the change in the local epidemic situation, the Jinmen Tigers returned to Tianjin after their winter training in Shanghai ahead of schedule. After 14 days of medical isolation and observation, Rosa arrived in Tianjin by high-speed rail on the evening of the 23rd, and he will continue to conduct home health monitoring for 7 days. For now, he won't be on the training ground until late March to early April.
Judging from previous videos, the player, who has dual citizenship of Brazil and Portugal, is the most active in the winger position, with excellent ability to change directions, is faster and has a good long-range shooting skill, and can also take set pieces. It is understood that Rosa has not yet officially signed a contract with the Jinmen Tigers. However, as a target foreign aid, being able to come to Tianjin under the epidemic at least shows that the two sides have been sincere and basically reached a consensus on joining. If Rosa, a winger, can successfully join the Jinmen Tigers, I believe that it can make the Jinmen Tigers "like a tiger" in terms of attack.
On the other hand, after ending the Shanghai winter training ahead of schedule, the Jinmen Tigers returned to Tianjin to carry out epidemic prevention work in strict accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, while preparing for battle. When the players first returned to Tianjin from Shanghai, they could only do some basic physical training in the club, and at the same time, they also had to undergo nucleic acid testing as required. It wasn't until March 23 that the team resumed normal on-field training. However, according to the requirements of epidemic prevention, the Jinmen Tigers cannot organize public training at present.
In terms of reinforcements, Rosa's arrival has taken the Jinmen Tigers forward in the introduction of foreign aid. At the same time, the Jinmen Tiger Club is also continuing to operate foreign aid to come to China. However, due to the epidemic prevention and control and flight factors, it is not difficult for foreign aid to enter China, and the club is still making active efforts in this regard.
According to the schedule previously formulated by the Chinese Football Association, the new season of the Chinese Super League will open on April 23. With a month to go in the league, the Jinmen Tigers have also accelerated their preparations. The team has already laid a relatively solid physical foundation in Shanghai. In the coming month, the Jinmen Tigers will focus on technical and tactical run-ins. At the same time, the team also looks forward to the internal and external support to be in place as soon as possible to make the preparation more complete. According to the plan, the Jinmen Tigers are expected to travel to Jinan at the end of the month to have a warm-up match with last season's league champion Shandong Taishan.
