Chapter 630: Hard Years

It was a contest between the main squad leader and the deputy squad leader who seemed to have a very good prediction of the disparity in strength, and most of the fans who were blinded by public opinion believed that the Chinese Chang'an team would crush the twisted Jinmen Marijuana Flower Team with the strength of the crushing level.

But people in the industry know that this is a match between the tip of the needle and the Maimang, although the strength of the Chinese Chang'an team is the best in the league, but the Jinmen cannabis team is by no means a bone to gnaw, or even a stinky and hard toilet stone! In a match against this team, even if there is a referee to help, other teams have to take off a layer of skin.

What's more, before this game, it is rumored that Zhang Zhennan instructed the law enforcement referee, and the game was judged fairly, and he hoped that the Chinese Chang'an team would crush Jinmen hemp flowers in a fair manner.

If the game is played under fair circumstances, people in the industry are not optimistic that the Chinese Chang'an team has the absolute strength to crush the Tianjin Cannabis Flower Team, although the players in each position of the Chinese Chang'an Team are stronger than the Tianjin Cannabis Flower Team on paper, but together, their combat effectiveness and the Tianjin Cannabis Flower Team can not be the same.

Although they have average talent (the best talents have been poached), they have played together for more than ten years, and their tacit understanding is not comparable to ordinary teams. Coupled with the mental attributes of this team, if the general team does not rely on the help of the referee, it is really difficult to compete with them, even if it is a giant like China Chang'an, industry insiders are not optimistic that they will win the game.

Zhang Zhennan likes to watch football, but for real football. He, the head of the house, is just a layman, and for insiders, it is by no means what he thinks is what the end result is.

Sure enough.

was expected by professionals in the circle to be the focus of the penultimate round of the 1967 Chinese Professional League, and the Jinmen Cannabis Flower Team reincarnated as a tiger! In the referee's fair and impartial law enforcement environment, relying on the No. 10 core Mao Lebiao's two super world waves after 70 minutes in the second half, with a score of 2:0, they once again defeated the arrogant Chinese Chang'an team!

If it is said that the game two years ago was under the dark guidance of public opinion, the public fans will think that it was a fluke that the Jinmen Tigers won China Chang'an. But after this game in which the Jinmen Tigers suppressed China Chang'an. No fan dares to underestimate the Jinmen Tiger anymore! This team, although nicknamed the twisted marijuana flower, their strength and fighting spirit are definitely not to be underestimated!

That game convinced the players and coaches of China Chang'an. Under the crushing of the strong spiritual will of the Jinmen Tiger. The Chinese Chang'an team can't show their level at all. It's like a martial arts routiner who can only embroider his fists and legs, competing with a professional killer who is born and dies every day, and every detail is completely suppressed.

After industry insiders watched that game. Almost without exception, they were all shocked by the Jinmen Tigers! It was the first time everyone saw the Jinmen Tigers play in a relatively fair environment, instead of being whistled for a foul if they made a little bigger, as if they were playing with shackles.

When the Jinmen Tigers have brought all their fighting spirit and potential into play, in the eyes of professionals, their true strength is at least one grade higher than all other teams, including the Chinese Chang'an team! Such a team is terrifying! However, it is a pity that in the public opinion circle of Zhang Zhennan's football circle, no professional dares to stand up and applaud Jinmen Tiger.

This game was arranged by Zhang Zhennan's staff in the penultimate round, otherwise if they had to kick Jinmen hemp flowers in the last round to celebrate the flag, as Zhang Zhennan thought, then their celebration would be smashed again.

But even in the penultimate round, the Tianjin Tigers dared to win the Chinese Chang'an team, which was unacceptable in Zhang Zhennan's view.

After that game, Zhang Zhennan was furious again! Directly pulled the pigtail of the Jinmen Tiger Club, and on the grounds that a player in the team accidentally took doping in the middle of the season, he directly punished the entire club, and the Jinmen Tiger was demoted two levels in a row, directly from the first division to the C league, which was almost a semi-amateur at the time.

In the following two years, although Li Yiguang's twist group was still encouraging and supporting the operation of the team, because the group's business situation was deteriorating and the competitive environment was getting worse and worse, it finally failed to escape the fate of bankruptcy.

In 1970, "Jinmen Cannabis Flower", the most well-known brand in Tianjin, was acquired by Beiping First Food Group, "Jinmen Big Bun" was acquired by another new rising food group in Tianjin, and "Jinmen Big Baked Cake" went south to Guangcheng and was acquired by a food company in Guangcheng, and Li Yiguang's Twist Group was officially ancient.

The enterprise collapsed, but the sports public welfare fund independently operated by Li Yiguang did not cross, and the manager of this fund was Li Yiguang's eldest son Li Genwei, who returned from studying abroad.

In those days, few Chinese would study abroad, and Li Genwei was a very early pioneer.

With many financial concepts that seemed advanced at the time, Li Genwei has been helping his father manage a sports charity fund with a market value of more than 20 million yuan after returning to China.

Under the skillful management of Li Genwei, Li Yiguang Sports Fund was no longer a burden on the Twist Group in 1968, and began to make small-scale profits in 69.

By the time the Twist Group went bankrupt in 70 years, the total market value of sports public welfare assets independent from the Twist Group had exceeded 50 million Chinese dollars!

Relying on the support of the public welfare fund, the Tianjin Tigers escaped the fate of being forcibly disbanded by the Football Association and stumbled to start the journey of the top league in 1970.

In the previous two years, they were promoted as champions of the lower leagues, and after playing in the highest league, what was in front of them was China Chang'an's predator, but Zhang Zhennan's insidious but extremely powerful back disappeared.

After playing professional football for 10 years, Zhang Zhennan finally got tired of playing, stopped playing football, and delegated power. But that year, the new head of the Football Association, in order to flatter Zhang Zhennan, still played Jinmen Tiger to death.

This season, the fighting power of the Jinmen Tigers is still tenacious, but they have suffered countless black whistles under extremely unfair punishments, and they still have not been spared the bad luck of relegation. The situation of the Jinmen Tiger that year was like a vole that had just emerged, and was beaten back to the lower league by the Football Association with a big stick.

Li Yiguang was greatly stimulated that year, originally the Zhang family no longer monopolized professional football, he thought that the spring of Tianjin football was coming, but who knows, the new head of the Football Association is still working against the Tianjin Tiger, he was angry by the Football Association, and his body full of holes finally couldn't stand it, and died that winter. The management of the team fell into the hands of his son Li Genwei.

Li Genwei has witnessed Li Yiguang's efforts in running the team over the years, and also witnessed the injustice encountered by the team.

His relatives and friends, including his wife, wanted him not to follow his father's path. After all, if he wants to continue to run the team, he needs to face a top force like the Zhang royal family, who touches and who dies. Even with the support of hundreds of thousands of fans and ordinary people in Tianjin, Li Genwei is definitely not the opponent of the Football Association. If he has to wring it out again, the big-headed sports public welfare fund they have worked so hard to run may be bankrupt.

Lee was struggling at the time, and after weighing it up repeatedly, he decided not to give up on his father's team. This team not only poured the blood and tears of his father's later years, but also poured the sweat and hard work of countless Tianjin football people, if this team is destroyed in his hands, he really can't face his father under Jiuquan, let alone the expectations of millions of people in Tianjin!

Although induced by public opinion, fans in other places have been belittling their Jinmen Tigers Football Club, but local fans in Jinmen have always regarded the indomitable fighting Jinmen Tigers as their faith! These fans are the team's most solid supporters, no matter what level of league they are relegated to, they support the team with the same enthusiasm, and Li Genwei can't be sorry for these lovely and respectable fans.

At that time, hearing that the team might go bankrupt and disband, Jinmen fans raised nearly 1 million materials to support the team in one night. There are also many fans who encourage the people around them to eat only noodles such as Jinmen hemp flowers and Jinmen big baked cakes to support the Jinmen Tigers. It can be seen how deep their affection for this team is! Basically, every Jinmen fan, at that time, would buy a few packs of Jinmen marijuana flowers at home to support the team.

It can be said that such a stubborn team, in the Chinese football world ups and downs for more than ten years, nothing else has been gained, and the most lovely and important group of hardcore fans have been harvested, which is what Li Yiguang valued the most back then, and now Li Genwei is never willing to live up to the love of these fans, he is determined to run the Tianjin Tiger Club to the end!

So from 1971, Li Genwei officially accepted the Tianjin Tiger Football Club and led the club to work hard in the second division.

Unlike the previous sponsorship of an industrial group such as Twist Group, when Li Genwei managed the team, he could only rely on the micro = Bo profit of the public welfare fund to maintain the operation of the team.

Although the Big Head Public Welfare Fund is very profitable under Li Genwei's skillful hands, because it is a public welfare fund for the whole sports industry, it is not just for the operation of a team, so it can allocate very little money to the operation of the team. Compared with the previous top income level ratio given by Li Yiguang to the Tianjin Tigers players, the salaries of the Tianjin Tigers players in 1971 fell by almost eighty percent, and everyone took a big salary cut, which affected the team's combat effectiveness in a certain way.

There are also some players who can't bear this kind of gap and are poached by other teams. There are also some loyal veterans who have been fighting with the Tianjin Tigers for more than ten years, and the best years have passed, and they have come to the end of their careers and have chosen to retire.
