After a long wait, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers finally ushered in the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League debut, but just like before the game, because the team's strikers were not in place, they failed to show the power of 5 foreign aids, and the home team drew 1-1 with the relegation team Nantong Zhiyun last season.
Although the team was quite well prepared for the off-season training camp, as the former coach Yu Genwei regretted, the team and the newcomer Kompagno had too little time to run-in, and they hardly played the entire warm-up game together.
Therefore, in the game, except for a header that hit the goal frame shortly after the opening kick, the Italian cannon almost did not play in the whole game. It can be seen that Kompagno has excellent air dominance, but he does not like to retreat to get the ball, so he often hides and cannot see anyone in the game. At the same time, he doesn't have the ability to shoot from long distances, and it is almost impossible to see Berridge run at high speed and score like last season.
At the same time, Kompagno is also a system player, and it is difficult to expect Kompagno to perform well in the regular attack when the Jinmen Tigers' frontcourt system is not complete.
As for the goal-scorer Ademi, although his header was quite exciting, but the subsequent insertion of the spit cake was enough to regret, coupled with an empty kick from Barton in the first half, no wonder Ademi couldn't help but complain in the post-game interview, if the team can grasp more opportunities, it will never be a draw.
The scene of the five foreign aids' starters is indeed exciting enough, but if you really want to give full play to the power of the five foreign aids, at least you can suppress a team like Nantong Zhiyun, counting Caron, who came off the bench, and only four foreign aids, Jinmen Tiger, who has changed blood for foreign aid, and Yu Genwei, who is more ambitious, obviously there is still more work to be improved.
