Many fans who follow the Jinmen Tigers have questioned Barton's mental state. After a long period of time, Barton was under immense psychological pressure, which caused him to be too agitated when he should have capitalized on his scoring chances. Perhaps, after a short break on the bench, Barton will be able to get rid of the psychological barrier and have a breakthrough in scoring in the game.
If Barton is unable to suit up for the match, coach Yu Genwei may reintroduce Shi Yan. Since joining the Jinmen Tigers, the striker from Luneng's youth training system has gradually emerged under the coach's tutelage. It wasn't long before Yu Genwei realized Shi Yan's potential and activated him. Expect Shi Yan to seize this opportunity and carry the flag of the team's offense after Barton.
