The Tianjin Jinmen Tiger Courier
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Yang Chaosheng, 33, rolls back the years — 7.89
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.89 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Jaume Grau pops up at the right end — 7.78
7.78, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Xadas raises the bar for Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Tianjin Jinmen Tiger heard it as anything else.

A row about effort at Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Xadas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Gao Di is not the player he was
It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 4 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger get the job done against Shenzhen Peng City
A 2‑0 win over Shenzhen Peng City, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

A falling-out at Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
Huang Jiahui and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Xie Weijun gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A promise honoured at Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
Something was said to Yan Bingliang and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
In brief
