Chapter 631: Historical Derby
The team's big framework is scattered, if it is an ordinary team, the results will definitely plummet, but Jinmen Tigers are different, they have a youth training system that they have always adhered to, and they are constantly providing football talents.
The year 1971, when many players left, can be regarded as the most difficult season after the establishment of the Tianjin Tigers, but with their indomitable fighting spirit and the spirit of thousands of fans, they still won the championship and returned to the top league of Chinese football with a large advantage.
In 1972, the head of the Football Association was still the head of Cai who flattered Zhang Zhennan. How does this guy look at the Jinmen Tigers, it seems that this team is really a twisted marijuana flower, and it has twisted the psychology of all the people who look at him, so Cai Zhangmen continued the fine tradition of covering the sky with one hand, continued to put pressure on the adjudication committee, and took special care of the Jinmen Tigers, which directly led to the fourth relegation of the Jinmen Tigers.
It's like taking an elevator, in the past few years, every time the Tigers are promoted to the top league in the first year, they have to be "taken care of" and then relegated back to the lower leagues, which is put on the average team, and the team has long since collapsed. But the Jinmen Tigers have adapted to such a rhythm, isn't the Football Association rectifying them? Didn't you want them to die? Then they will be stronger to live! Let's see whose life is long!
That year, because the club's finances were delayed, the Li Datou Public Welfare Fund led by Li Genwei was in a bad situation, and the last sponsor of the team terminated its cooperation with them when it was relegated to the second division. The Jinmen Tigers have no external income left, and their business is struggling. At this time. Jinmen fans have stepped up again, and they have raised millions for the club to buy the advertising on the front of the Jinmen Tigers jersey.
That year, there were only two big words on the chest of the Tianjin Tigers who competed in the second division: Persistence!
It is precisely by relying on the perseverance of this fan that the Tianjin Tigers once again radiate strong combat effectiveness! The players trained hard, everyone worked hard for themselves, and in the end they made it back to the top league with a winning record!
In the following 1973, the Tianjin Tigers finally won a turnaround!
Because of the great ideological movement that broke out across the country, the foundation of the rule of the Zhang royal family was shaken, and the pro-Zhang faction in all walks of life and leadership was no longer popular. In the latest election for the president of the Football Association that year. Cai, who had been flattering Zhang Zhennan before, was finally defeated and swept away. The successor is the head of a non-profit organization that truly understands and loves football, and he is in charge of the new Football Association as a half-insider, purging the old forces before. Let the sky of Chinese football finally dawn.
No one is deliberately rectifying football anymore. The Jinmen Tigers finally broke out with the combat power they should have. That year, with a record of 15 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses in 30 games, they ranked 7th in the league, and finally stayed in the top league without relegation!
League of the year. The Tianjin Tigers seem to be playing smoothly, but only they and the Tianjin fans know how hard it is for them to get such results!
They have been suppressed, bullied, and demoted again and again, but they can't convince their unyielding souls! They have also developed a tough style that they never bow their heads in front of any forces!
In the more than 20 years since then, the Tianjin Tigers have been standing in the top league of Chinese football, never relegated, and their style of play has not changed, just one word: love whom! Whoever they play with them will do their best, and they must kill their opponents as if they were dead!
No matter what this game means to them and what it means to the other side, they only abide by one principle, and that is to give it their all! Fight for their own dignity, but also for the fans who have supported them for more than 30 years!
Although after the Zhang family entered the political arena, the environment of Chinese football has also taken on a new look, and there is no longer a criminal phenomenon of power monopoly, but there are small groups and small alliances among dozens of professional clubs. Chinese love to engage in this set in their bones, which is the same in every plane. Under the management of small groups, there are many competitions that are actually structured by these clubs, in a sense, irresponsible to the fans.
But the Tianjin Tigers have been in football for more than 30 years, and they can touch their conscience and say that any game they have played is worthy of the fans who support them, they never play match-fixing or harmony, they do not belong to any small group, and they don't bother to engage in that kind of game!
They all survived the days when Zhang Zhennan covered the sky with one hand, and then those small groups with miasma were not a thing at all in their eyes.
There are many small groups that actually want to win over the Jinmen Tigers and share the benefits together, but the Jinmen Tigers have never considered joining.
They also never give any team a league of interests face. Whoever begs them, they will not let each other go, and the more they ask, the more they will kick each other to death. In their own opinion, serious competition is the real respect for each other, they go all out to kick each other, not to play with their lives to put each other to death, but to play with their lives to help the other party's kneeling knees to lift up again!
To be a man, you have to stand up straight and hold your head high! If they kneel and ask for alms, they should leave professional football as soon as possible, because it is a manly sport and not for those who like to kneel!
In line with this attitude of not recognizing who the six relatives do not recognize, the Tianjin Tigers have offended many teams over the years, more than ten years ago, many weaker teams to the last few rounds of the league met the Tianjin Tigers, they will send team affairs and Tianjin Tigers to ventilate, to see if the Tianjin Tigers can let them go, if they are released, help them relegation, then next season, they will be grateful to give back to the Tianjin Tigers, and let the Tianjin Tigers kill in vain.
But this kind of ventilation, not once to get a good result, every time the relegation team goes to the Tianjin Tiger to ventilate, they will usher in a tiger with red eyes to eat them in one bite! How can they have a chance of winning against a team like this?
There are many relegation teams, all of which lost to the Jinmen Tigers in key battles, which directly led to relegation in the season. Incomplete statistics, in the last 20 seasons, the Tianjin Tigers have directly sent 8 teams to the second division in the final round of the league, and these 8 teams, including the small group behind them, almost without exception have all played against the Tianjin Tigers!
Other relegation teams that have benefited have never missed the good of the Tianjin Tigers, because in their eyes, the Tianjin Tigers are a twisted hemp flower, a team that will not make friends, and there is no way to gain a foothold in Chinese football! Even if the Jinmen Tigers have the backbone and stand up, they will definitely not win the league championship! Because while the Jinmen Tigers are stumbling with all the teams, all the other teams are also stumbling with the Jinmen Tigers! I don't know when it began, the Chinese football top league has become popular with such a slogan: Whoever loses, can't lose to Jinmen Tigers! It can be seen how "hateful" this tiger is in the eyes of other teams!
This kind of "hatefulness" in the Jinmen Tigers has been able to persist for so many years, and while it is hated by other teams, including fans of other teams, it is actually covered with a layer of "cuteness".
Such a stubborn team, under the guidance of today's open public opinion, will naturally be favored by many neutral fans, even including fans in some rival cities, just like the fans of Chang'an Region, who have a feud with the Tianjin Tigers, have to admire the stubbornness of this team that is more tenacious than Xiaoqiang!
Their spirit of never admitting defeat and never giving up has finally become the most beautiful scenery in Chinese football!
In the era when all the dark teams knelt to accompany the prince to study, the fighting spirit of the Jinmen Tigers who always held their heads high was finally justified by history. Nowadays, the team that has been mentioned the most by fans to end the dark reign of China Chang'an is not the Shenhai Blue Devils who ended China Chang'an's ten consecutive championships, but the "Jinmen Marijuana Flower Twisting Team" that dared to defeat China Chang'an twice in the darkest days! -- Nowadays, out-of-town fans still like to call the Jinmen Tigers and the Jinmen Marijuana Flowers, but this kind of nickname is no longer discriminatory, but praises their twisting. If it weren't for the spirit they have always adhered to in the past 30 years, the Chinese Football League would never have been as colorful and eye-catching as it is now!
Up to now, the deeds of the Jinmen Tigers who bravely broke the monopoly of the Chinese Chang'an team will still be mentioned from time to time. And no matter what the strength of the team is, the annual match between them and the Chinese Chang'an team is a "historical derby" like Mars hitting the earth precipitated by history in the eyes of fans!
The word "derby" is a foreign product, in this level of Chinese football, there are actually many games that can be called "derby", such as the "Chang'an Derby" in Chang'an, the "North China Derby" in North China, the "Central Plains Derby" in the Central Plains, and the "Southern Derby" in the southern cities...... And so on, there are many kinds of tricks, but the only one that can be called a "historical derby" is the match between the Chinese Chang'an team and the Tianjin Tigers. Because there is so much symbolism in front of and behind these two teams.
Every year the match between these two teams becomes the focus of the football world.
This night, Fuwan Sports Channel's evening news focused on such a significant national derby.
In this latest national derby, although the Tianjin Tigers did their best to compete with the Chinese Chang'an team away from home, they still could not resist the onslaught of the Chinese Chang'an team and lost with a score of 1:3. (To be continued......)
