Jinmen Tiger again battle harbor pressure and opportunity coexist this gamble?【WEIRUSHUI】
2025-04-13

The two consecutive away journey, Jinmen tiger suffered from injuries, Salvador, Ademi and Yang Fan's successive injuries, so that the team can only cope with the residual array in the match with Dalian Inbev. Fortunately, Kiles continued his hot form and scored his seventh goal of the league. At present, there are still six teams in the Chinese Super League whose total goals have not exceeded Kiles.
After returning from Dalian, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are preparing for Wednesday's home game against Shanghai Harbour. With Harbour's game against Henan postponed due to the weather and Tianjin midfielder Huang Jiahui and central defender Ross suspended after receiving yellow cards against Dalian InBev, the battle against the defending Chinese Super League champions seems increasingly difficult.
Over the past few seasons, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have been virtually defenseless against the Shanghai harbor. In the 2024 season, the two legs of the league plus the FA Cup, the Jinmen Tigers lost all three games against the Harbour, and the total result was 0-11. In the last four years, the two teams have played a total of ten times, Jinmen Tigers only won one win and two draws, and the remaining seven games all lost, including two five-goal defeats. In these ten encounters, Jinmen Tiger scored only three goals.
Of course, in the past few years, Shanghai Port has strong foreign aid such as Oscar and Balgas, and its strength is significantly higher than Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, and it is reasonable to achieve an overwhelming advantage in the results of both sides. However, this game Tianjin Jinmen tiger seems to see a different situation from the past.
Due to the postponement of the match of Shanghai Port visitors against Henan team, the suspension of coach Muscat, the main defensive line Li Shuai and Wei Zhen also needs to be extended to the match with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. In addition, the foreign aid strength of Shanghai Port has declined significantly this season. In the fifth round of Shanghai Derby, Shanghai Port's foreign aid in front of the field did not get a goal or assist data.
At present, Gustavo has scored 4 goals in the Harbour team, Leonardo has scored 2 goals, and Jousa has scored 1 goal, and the total number of goals of the three people has just been equal to the Jinmen Tigers ace striker Kiles. From the data of foreign aid goals, this season Muscat's foreign aid card is obviously not as good as in previous years. Therefore, the Jinmen Tiger has the advantage of the home field, and can make a gamble.
From the opening stage of the league, the impression of Jinmen Tigers to the outside world is quite amazing. This season, the team has changed a lot of personnel, and the team has not introduced more excellent local right-backs and central defenders. In this case, the team has been unbeaten since the start, and the team's newly introduced foreign aid has performed well this season, which more reflects Yu Genwei's training of the team is very in place.
In the first six rounds of matches, Jinmen Tiger achieved two wins and four draws. From the third round, the team began to encounter injuries one after another, which gradually increased the difficulties faced by the team. After the interval, the Chinese Super League teams are facing a very intensive April schedule, which is a very difficult test for the Jinmen Tigers with the general depth of the lineup.
Midfielder Salvador was injured in the 3rd round match between Jinmen Tigers and Qingdao Manatees. After the game, he was diagnosed with three grade 2 or higher tears in the deltoid ligament complex in his right ankle and is expected to miss four weeks. Salvatore's injury affected Zimenhu's formation in the midfield, especially in terms of offensive propulsion.
However, in the subsequent fourth round of the Chinese Super League, Jinmen Tiger relied on Keales' excellent performance in the "Jinjing Derby" at home and almost won the game. Being able to arm wrestle with the giants at home is also the confidence that they dare to expect to make a difference in the harbor.
After the match with Guoan at home, Jinmen Tiger ushered in two consecutive away games, with an interval of 6 days in the middle. The first away game against the west coast of Qingdao, which is also unbeaten in the league, Jinmen Tiger attacked strongly and established the goal advantage in the half, but the defensive side problems were gradually exposed in the second half. The result was a draw. But after this game, the defensive line of Yang Fan, midfielders Ademi and Shi Yan also suffered injuries. Jinmen Tiger can only cope with the match between Dalian Inbo and promoted horses with the residual array.
With one point from Dalian, Jinmen Tigers remain unbeaten after six rounds of competition. However, this game, Jinmen Tiger was originally incomplete in the lineup, and added two key players suspended, Huang Jiahui and foreign aid Ross because of the accumulation of four yellow cards, will miss the home and Shanghai Harbor game.
In the sixth round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port was originally the guest war Henan team, but the team just arrived in Zhengzhou, and received the news that the game was postponed due to weather reasons. In a hurry, I stayed one night in Zhengzhou and took the high-speed train back to Shanghai the next day. In terms of physical fitness, Jinmen Tiger 9 days 3 games, coupled with personnel injury, the overall relatively weak, Shanghai harbor in a few days after the rest, in the 15th will go to Tianjin, between the two rounds of 10 days between the game, can be said to be waiting for the attitude facing Jinmen Tiger. In the final round last year, Shanghai Port beat Jinmen Tigers 5-0 at home. Oscar, Vargas scored one goal each, Wu Lei scored two, but this season, Oscar, Vargas have left the port, while Wu Lei also because of injury temporarily unable to resume the game. And the port lineup, there are also suspended players, coach Muscat was also banned for 1 game punishment because of remarks. Therefore, the Zimmen Tiger is not without a chance.
This game, Jinmen tiger to further restructure the lineup according to injuries and suspensions, especially in the defensive line. Xie Weijun, a guest halfback in the last round, contributed 14 clearings, the highest total, indicating that Yu Genwei's transformation of Xie Weijun during winter training has begun to see results. With the suspension of Huang Jiahui and Rose at the same time, a new defensive combination is bound to be born, and this new central defensive combination may have a lack of run-in problems, and need to avoid being caught by opponents to become a breakthrough.
Although Shanghai Port also has the lineup of the incomplete, but the overall strength is still superior, Tianjin Jinmen tiger in the injury and suspension of the double blow, the home battle is extremely difficult. However, Wang Qiuming and Kielis in hot state in the front field, Kielis contributed 7 goals and 1 assist in 6 games this season, and its finishing ability is still the most powerful magic weapon of Jinmen Tiger. The key of the game lies in the resistance of the Jinmen Tiger defense line and the efficiency of the counterattack.
