Axel Witsel faced a rather familiar opponent yesterday in Marbella, on the last game on Spanish ground, ending the second and final preseason camp of Tianjian Quanjian.
Lokomotiv Moscow, first in the Russian League with Axel’s former club Zenit St. Petersburg following second, tested their readiness against Paulo Sousa and Tianjin.
Jefferson Farfan opened the score for the Russians (38′) with Dalun Zheng writing the what was meant to be the final 1-1 (55′).
Tianjian Quanjian now return to China to continue preparing for their first ever Asian Champions League Qualifications game against Philippines’ side Ceres-Negros FC, on January 30th at Haihe stadium.
