Live broadcast on August 10 news the final draw of this round of Beijing-Tianjin derby ended. Jinmen Tiger players Yu Yang and Barton talked about the feeling of playing with Guoan when interviewed by Wang Xiaorui, a reporter from Sports Weekly.
Before this campaign, Yu Yang was the only player in the Jinmen Tiger array to represent Guoan in the TEDA Football Field. He said: “I remember the last time, almost in July and August, it was 15 years ago. Today, on the other hand, I represent Tianjin team against Guoan. I think I am very lucky.
From a positive point of view, for me, I can have a chance to participate in such a competition, which is definitely a good thing. If my teammates have no injuries, I may not have a chance (starting). Since I am given this opportunity today, I especially want to make some contributions to the team. In the end, I have basically completed the task.”
When talking about the performance of this game, Yu Yang said: “We are friends on the court, but on the court, it is competitive sports, which is to win or lose. You can’t be friends on the court. You should fight together. For the sake of his team and city, he must do his best, which is also what a professional player should do. Although people are in Tianjin, I will also pay attention to Guoan and thank the fans of the two places for their support. I am very grateful in my heart.”
Another Guoan old General Patton, who is now playing for Jinmen Tiger, said: “Maybe with the growth of time, the current Beijing-Tianjin Derby has a different taste, from the previous popularity to the current personnel flow…… In fact, we have a good relationship under the stadium.
In fact, my mentality is better once than once. From leaving Guoan before, I was eager to prove my mentality, and now I have been more and more trained. For me, this kind of competition has become more and more normal. In the past, this kind of competition may be particularly valued, but now the mood is still relatively calm.”
Barton continued: “In the past, few away fans could fill the stands, which is enough to prove that the Beijing-Tianjin Derby is a game with great city details. I still hope to return to the hot atmosphere before. After all, the football details of the two cities are there. In the future, I hope that the Beijing-Tianjin Derby will play better and more intense matches will appear.
I am also very grateful to the fans of the two places for their support and hope that everyone can see my better performance. I am really familiar with them. But on the court, we still have to perform our duties and help the team win.”
