Recently, Jinmen Tiger has made significant progress in recruitment, with new additions to the center-back, center-forward, defensive midfield, and attacking midfield positions. Among them, familiar faces like Yang Fan, Sun Mingqian, and Zhang Wei are expected to take on important roles. However, the right-back position still needs reinforcement. Jinmen Tiger's head coach, Yu Genwei, may be looking for a suitable right-back at the last moment to replace the departing player, Tomorrow.
Tomorrow performed exceptionally well after joining Jinmen Tiger, becoming a core player on the right flank with his solid defense and ability to deliver impressive crosses in attack. Unfortunately, just as he was establishing himself at Jinmen Tiger, he chose to leave and join Shanghai Port.
This situation has left the right-back position a headache for Yu Genwei. Many fans believe that he should consider bringing in Ji Xiang from Luneng to strengthen the right-back lineup. Ji Xiang is a proven talent who once captained Luneng. Moreover, Luneng won the double of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the 2021 season, with Ji Xiang playing a crucial role.
Ji Xiang is a versatile player capable of playing both left and right full-back positions, as well as center-back, defensive midfield, and winger. During his time at Jiangsu, Cuilongzhu even placed him in the center-forward position, where he became a fan favorite and an all-round captain. However, Ji Xiang has been relegated to the bench in the past two seasons at Luneng and did not participate in the team's winter training, which is quite concerning.
From this detail, it seems likely that Ji Xiang has been abandoned by Luneng. If Ji Xiang can no longer play for Luneng, it presents an opportunity for Jinmen Tiger to pick him up. As long as Ji Xiang is willing to significantly reduce his salary, Jinmen Tiger can bring him in. After all, with his form and abilities, there should be no problem with him playing as the main right-back for Jinmen Tiger for two seasons, which is something fans can look forward to. It is believed that this last-minute signing will not disappoint Yu Genwei.
