Lin Xinjiang, a famous football player in Jinmen who was not in good health some time ago. “As the teacher who led me back then, Lin Gui gave me a lot of pertinent opinions and suggestions, and has always encouraged me, saying that Tianjin Football has never been afraid of difficulties and will not be easily defeated.” Naturally, we and Yu Genwei This dialogue started in March and April last year when the team started.
Reporter: After the Jinmen Tigers teamed up, they adjusted for more than two weeks before entering the competition zone. In the first round of the pre-match press conference with the Shanghai Haigang team, you said “We are ready”. This sentence sounded very good at the time. Incredible.
Yu Genwei: Even at that time, our whole team was up and down, and there were not many players who could even play a 90-minute game, but the league schedule will not wait for us. We must tell ourselves that we are ready and we have to rely on the ball. The overall cohesion of the team, to maximize their own.
Reporter: As soon as I met today, I heard you talk about the 22 league games that the Tianjin Tigers have experienced this season, like a movie, and I feel that everything is printed in my head.
Yu Genwei: For more than nine months, even during the holidays, what we think about and communicate with each other is the same. In fact, I am particularly moved. The club, the team, and everyone in our entire team are working hard with an attitude of sharing more for the collective and making themselves better every day. Although we have always been under pressure, we have always been motivated, have goals, and are very simple. We just want to work hard to complete the season’s goals.
Reporter: You mentioned moving, are there any specific examples?
Yu Genwei: There are many things worth talking about slowly. For example, our two veterans, Bai Yuefeng and Tan Wangsong, have already served as coaches, but each training session is required to meet the quality and quantity requirements. For example, our bench players take the initiative to practice harder, I see them all. For example, during the most critical period of relegation, I had a schedule for Vickinovich to take a break. He was not happy and came to me. Magno also took the initiative to tell me, let me rest assured that he will do his best, and Button, The physical function test data has clearly shown that he is very tired, but he still said that he can fight, so that once I blurted out “You tell me the truth, don’t lie to me”.
Reporter: There is a cruel side to the relegation battle. Have you experienced any emotional ups and downs in the process?
Yu Genwei: After losing to the Qingdao team in the third game, I competed with myself until the next afternoon, I was in the room to do a replay. The particularity of our team determines that whether it is a 90-minute game or the entire season, we need to maintain the established rhythm at all times and not to do anything desperately. In fact, including the last round of the game, our coaching staff still has personnel to continue the rotation arrangement, in preparation for the play-offs in case. At the moment when the final whistle blew, I was a little excited and shook my fist, but soon calmed down. Then everyone threw me up, and I also joked with them, saying that I would watch the video and find someone to follow me. .
Throughout the 2021 season, there are many stories worth retelling about the Jinmen Tigers. In the middle of the chat, Yu Genwei answered a phone call and heard that it was related to the content of the next season. The coaches and players need to relax during the holidays, but the Tianjin Tigers Club and this team will objectively need more support and care from all parties in the future to be able to continue the simple and beautiful path behind.Our reporter Gu Ying
