I'm still very happy to be recognized by everyone. I think as a team, everyone has worked hard in the past few years, and I think that in fact, I won this award myself, and perhaps more importantly, it is an affirmation and encouragement for my whole team. I hope we can continue to work hard, continue to spur ourselves with this award, be able to do all the work more meticulously and concretely, and strive to be able to complete the new season of this year's competition, we can also complete it well, and get everyone's recognition.
Shen Xiangfu. A famous legend in Chinese football.
First of all, congratulations to Yu Genwei for winning this 2023 Chinese Football Golden Shuai Award. Chinese football needs young coaches like Yu Genwei to continue to grow, especially in this league in 2023, I see that Yu Genwei led the Jinmen Tiger team to play the flavor of the old Tianjin team, with hard work, fighting spirit and tenacity, and at the same time integrated advanced football tactical concepts, which is rare. I also wish him to build this Jinmen Tigers team into a more mature and better result in the 2024 league, so as to win glory for Tianjin football and Chinese football.
Yu Genwei won the 2023 China Golden Shuai Award, which is a full affirmation of the good results he led the team to achieve in the 2023 Chinese Super League.
In the 2023 season, the Chinese Football Professional League will return to the home-and-away system, and the Jinmen Tigers have set a new record of being unbeaten at home for the first time in the team's history in the top league, and this record is also the only one in the Chinese Super League.
In three years, reborn from the ashes and reloaded, Jinmen Tiger was determined to forge ahead and constantly transform.
From the weak team that was thrilling to relegate three years ago to the fierce opponent that no one dares to underestimate today, the Jinmen Tigers have significantly improved in many aspects such as tactical play, personnel composition, and will quality.

First of all, I still say calmly, we are not a quasi-strong team, we are a mid-stream team, I think we still have a long way to go from the quasi-strong team, and I think this definition I hope to be accurate. To say that the team has actually changed, it may be from the spiritual level, we have more at the beginning of the formation of the team, we put forward, team spirit, fighting spirit, dedication, in fact, from these three spirits, we want to interpret the cohesion of the team, only if we can unite as one, unify our thoughts, we work towards a common goal, we can burst out of greater passion and better combat effectiveness. In fact, in the past three years, in fact, this team has shown this spirit to the outside world more.
*Loading. Under the leadership of Yu Genwei, Jinmen Tiger has focused on shaping the spiritual temperament of tenacious style and courage to fight from the beginning of the team.
In the 2023 season, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and head coach Yu Genwei made their first appearance in front of their hometown fathers. In the first round of the league against the Cangzhou Lions, the cheers and shouts of the audience also remained in the heart of the coach and was unforgettable.
The season's double home games have made the popularity of Tianjin football run through the whole process, and also encouraged the team.

With the retirement, with the transformation after the retirement, including these years, our three-year epidemic is basically a competition system, in fact, except for me as a coach, let's just say that even if I am a fan, I can be there and have no opportunity to cheer for the team. Fortunately, we were able to resume home and away games after the end of the tournament system last year, so I think the majority of fans in Tianjin have supported this team with this kind of actual action, which is also something that I and every one of my players are deeply touched by.
From the age of 19 to the 47-year-old at the helm of the Tianjin Tigers, with his love for the city and football, Yu Genwei has accompanied Tianjin football to overcome obstacles and start anew.
Three years have passed in a flash, and Yu Genwei has long been accustomed to the change of identity from player to coach, and what remains unchanged is the tenacious struggle, determination and courage that he injected into this team that belongs to Tianjin football.

Maybe it's a different time, at that time, I was a player to serve this team and win glory for the city, so now I may change my role to continue, in fact, I want to work and work hard for Tianjin football. I think more, in fact, from my own point of view, I still hope to be able to pass on the good tradition of Tianjin football, and it is precisely because of this that on the first day I led the team, I may be telling you that Tianjin football has a deep heritage, and we have our own style, so I also hope that through me, I can better reflect some of the good traditions and styles of Tianjin football before through this team, and slowly reflect it and carry it forward.
When he was a player, as the core and captain of the Tianjin team, he failed to lead the team to the top three in the league, which was an irreparable regret for Yu Genwei.
Now, as the head coach, he led the Tianjin team to compete in the Chinese Super League, and Yu Zhi has not given up his original dream, which is also the biggest motivation for him to lead the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers to defy strong opponents and strive for good results.

I think this goal has not changed for me personally. Because it's a shame to be a player, because any player might want to be in the top three in the league, but the higher goal is to say we have to win the championship once. But regrets, I think it's a good thing to have regrets, and it will also allow you to have greater motivation in the future, to promote and make up for this regret, so I can now have the honor to lead the Tianjin team, I still hope that we use our efforts, step by step, we slowly strive to achieve better results, of course, this ultimate goal, must be a goal in everyone's heart.
As a player, Yu Genwei is not only a banner figure of Tianjin football, but also an indispensable and important member of the national team, and one of the heroes of the Chinese men's football team to break into the World Cup finals for the only time so far.
In a flash, the young man of the "White Horse and Silver Gun" on the night of the Wuli River has also reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but from the perspective of a professional coach, he is young.
Will he return to the country as a coach in the future? Perhaps this is an expectation buried deep in his heart, in contrast, he pays more attention to living the present in a down-to-earth manner and accompanying Jinmen Tiger to grow up ...... slowly

I haven't thought about it yet, because I think as far as I am concerned, I may still hope to bring the Tianjin team well, and I can accumulate more experience in leading the team, as for the future development, I think that now, I have chosen the path of a professional coach, so maybe in the future, as long as I can work hard and develop better, there may be more such choices. I think it's better to take it step by step, the focus is still on the present, and take our Tianjin team first.
