After the selection process, Yu Genwei has finally relented and is willing to give the local player a chance to make a name for himself. However, Ruan Yang's background and strength do not seem to be enough to establish a foothold in the Jinmen Tigers, and he is feared to follow in the footsteps of Huang Xuhang, who is only participating in the trial as a passer-by. The Tigers already have a strong lineup of local attackers in Xie Weijun, Barton, Shi Yan and Liu Junxian. Meanwhile, Han Pengfei will soon join Chengdu Rongcheng and is expected to leave for the harbor tomorrow. Jinmen Tigers have unfortunately lost two international players. Yu Genwei admits that finding suitable local players to replace them will not be easy.
Although outside center back Grant has opted to stay, he is in dire need of a strong partner. Local defenders are scarce, and the Jinmen Tigers are not the only ones thirsty. Stronger teams such as Chengdu Rongcheng, Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan are also actively searching. Therefore, the hottest center backs in the current transfer market are undoubtedly preferred by these giants. Jinmen Tigers can only sigh in anticipation of "picking up". In the most unfortunate situation, if there is no suitable internal center back, Wang Xianjun and Huang Jiahui will have to step up. Wong Ka Fai is fixed in the back position, but his ability to switch positions also gives him the possibility to play as a center back.
The Jinmen Tigers' foreign players failed to renew their contracts and basically chose to leave the team after completing their first contracts. According to Yu Genwei, a new foreign back will join the team on January 8th. Earlier, media source Gu Ying revealed that one of the new foreign backs is from Spain. Sun Mingqian has arrived at the team on January 4, expecting to invest with a budget of 200 million yuan, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Yu Genwei. Therefore, maintaining the stability of the existing lineup and striving for better results in the FA Cup to avoid a repeat of last season's battle with Port has become the goal of the Zim Tigers.
