In the home match against Beijing Women's Volleyball Team, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team focused their serve on Beijing's main attacker, Jinye, with the coordination of Yao Di as the second setter and Li Yingying's performance. They ended the game with three zero scores, demonstrating excellent handling of key points and timely substitutions throughout the match. From the beginning of the game, Tianjin targeted Jinye with their serve, creating pressure on the first pass and significantly impacting Beijing's offensive system. This tactic proved effective in the first set. During Tianjin's serve rotations, both Li Yingying and Yao Di maintained high-quality serves, especially in critical moments, causing significant trouble for the opponents. After Beijing's first pass quality was affected, their offensive choices became very passive. Beijing could only rely on strong attacks when their first pass was not in place, but Tianjin's blocking was very active, particularly Fetisova at the front row, whose high-quality blocking made it difficult for Beijing to execute effective strong attacks. Yao Di's flexible adjustments at the second setter position, switching between main attackers Li Yingying and Wang Yizhu, made it hard for Beijing to predict the direction of the attack, allowing Tianjin to play offensively smoothly. When Beijing was catching up in the second set, Tianjin promptly replaced Yang Yi to strengthen the first pass, accurately timing the substitution to stabilize the situation and prevent the score from being tied. Beijing also attempted substitutions during the game, bringing in Fuji Nari to enhance the first pass, but the effect was not particularly ideal. This was mainly because…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the latest transfer news from the Chinese Super League (CSL) sees Tianjin Jinmen Tiger making their first announcement of the new year, with Li Ke potentially joining Shanghai Shenhua. Just now, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger officially announced on their club's social media account that Hong Kong player Sun Mingqian has joined the team, becoming the first player from Hong Kong in the club's history. The 24-year-old Sun Mingqian joined Cangzhou Mighty Lions last season and played 27 games for them, contributing 2 assists, helping the team successfully avoid relegation. His performance not only allowed him to establish himself in his first CSL season but also attracted the attention of other CSL teams. After the league ended in November last year, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger's head coach Yu Genwei revealed in a live broadcast that they were looking to introduce players from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan for the new season and had already identified a target. At that time, fans speculated that the target was Sun Mingqian, and the official announcement confirmed these speculations. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger started their second phase of training in Haikou on the 3rd, and Sun Mingqian has already joined the team for training. In addition, Mo Xuchen is currently on trial with Jinmen Tiger, but there are no results yet. New foreign player Salvador will arrive on the 8th, and Zhang Wei, who successfully trialed during the first phase of winter training, is still awaiting an official announcement. On the Shanghai Shenhua side, after announcing their new foreign player Minero this afternoon,…

In the second round of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs, the reigning champions Tianjin Volleyball Team faced off against the Beijing Volleyball Team. In the first round, Tianjin easily defeated Liaoning, with Chen Boya emerging as the team's standout player. The return of Yao Di has greatly improved the team's morale and confidence, with Chen Boya being a testament to this. On the other hand, Beijing suffered a major setback after being dramatically reversed by Shandong in the first round, significantly impacting their morale. Wang Yunlu, who had returned to Beijing for the holidays, has since gone back to Russia. Additionally, the team's third foreign player was unable to join due to personal issues, meaning Beijing was not at full strength and could only aim to challenge Tianjin. Ultimately, Tianjin swept Beijing 3-0, securing two consecutive victories in the playoffs. In the first set, Beijing's foreign player Begic served first, with both Li Yingying and Fetisova of Tianjin having their attacks blocked. Jin Ye scored the first point with a tip-out, quickly giving Beijing a 3-1 lead. Tianjin then took the lead 4-3 through Li Yingying's attacks and blocks, with both teams displaying a similar style of play, focusing on multiple attacking points. Yao Di intentionally provided more opportunities for Chen Boya, and Tianjin led 12-9, prompting Beijing to call their first timeout. Jin Ye's attacking error allowed Tianjin to extend their lead, with Wang Mengjie making an impressive backcourt save to reduce the gap to two points. Chen Boya's serving round caused Beijing to stall, trailing 11-17,…

With the approach of the winter transfer market, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger Football Club has quietly launched its recruitment campaign, heralding its ambitions for the new season. Instead of resting after the conclusion of last season's Chinese Super League, Jinmen Tiger quickly embarked on a strategic layout focused on strength and the future, aiming to achieve a qualitative leap in the upcoming season's football field. According to "Daily News," a gem from the Spanish second division is set to join Tianjin Jinmen Tiger.

Meanwhile, the club is also making moves on the forward line, with the countdown to the signing of a powerful center forward underway.

The new training list for the Chinese women's volleyball team is about to be released, and the selection of players from the two strong teams, Tianjin and Jiangsu, has sparked heated discussions. Tianjin women's volleyball team impressed everyone with their performance in the recently concluded Club World Cup. They overcame obstacles all the way and eventually won the runner-up, creating the best record for an Asian team in this event. Can this strong momentum continue to the national team? How many players will they have favored by the national team? The success of Tianjin women's volleyball team in the Club World Cup is inseparable from the overall cooperation of the team and the excellent performance of the players. Libero Liu Liwen has stable reception and a large defensive area, becoming the backbone of the back line. In the final against the powerful Conegliano, she made many wonderful saves, making the opponent's heavy spikes return fruitlessly again and again. In the league, the national team's main libero Wang Mengjie and Ni Feifan were plagued by injuries one after another. The emergence of Liu Liwen just filled the gap of the national team, and her call for training selection is getting higher and higher. Looking at the setter position, the return of veteran Yao Di undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the Tianjin team. Her experience and stability make Tianjin's offense smoother and more changeable. In the Club World Cup final, facing Conegliano's high block, Yao Di cleverly used speed and rhythm changes to create scoring opportunities for attackers like…

On December 31, 2024, the match between Tianjin Food Group Men's Volleyball and Beijing BAIC Men's Volleyball not only attracted attention due to the intensity of the game itself but also because of a controversial refereeing decision that shifted the focus from the court to the referees and video replay system. Here's what happened - during the first set of the game, Tianjin was trailing Beijing 13-15, with a tense atmosphere on the court. At this critical moment, after Tianjin served, the ball landed near the left sideline at the far end of Beijing's court, seemingly about to go out of bounds. The line judge immediately ruled the ball out of bounds, awarding Beijing a point. This should have been an uncontroversial call, but Tianjin challenged the decision, requesting confirmation that the ball had indeed landed within the opponent's boundary. This is where the video replay system comes in. Ideally, the referee should verify the call based on the video replay, but there was a problem. The system encountered an issue, and the video replay could not accurately display the correct footage; instead, the referee played an incorrect image. This was quite embarrassing because the big screen showed the challenge as successful, but the replay footage did not match the actual situation, indicating that the ball had clearly landed inbounds when in fact it had not. Most importantly, the head referee did not verify the accuracy of the replay and made a ruling based on the incorrect footage, overturning the call and awarding Tianjin a point. Can you imagine the…

On December 31st, the first round of the A-level playoffs for the 2024-2025 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League is set to begin. The matchups have been announced: Tianjin will face Liaoning (with the home team listed first), Beijing Automotive (BAIC) will challenge Shandong, Shanghai will compete against Shenzhen, and Jiangsu will go up against Fujian. Analyzing the strength of the teams involved, it appears that reigning champions Tianjin will win without much suspense, while the other two strong teams, Shanghai and Jiangsu, will face challenges, with their chances of victory uncertain. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team As defending champions, Tianjin started the season slow but picked up momentum under new coach Chen Fang, who took over from Wang Baoquan and began using the original starting setter Yao Di. The team has since changed its sluggish state, winning consecutive victories and once again showing championship potential. Tianjin finished the regular season in second place with a five-game winning streak. In the playoffs, Tianjin is grouped with BAIC, Liaoning, and Shandong. In the first round, they will play against Liaoning, who almost got relegated. With Li Yingying and Wang Yuanyuan leading the attack, Tianjin's victory seems assured. Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team Compared to Tianjin, both Shanghai and Jiangsu have experienced changes. Shanghai's strong support, Xiaocaiwa, left abruptly, and the main lineup had to be changed at the last minute, which will inevitably affect the team's performance. Meanwhile, opponent Shenzhen bolstered its roster before the playoffs, enhancing its strength. It is no longer easy for Shanghai to defeat Shenzhen as they…
