Tianjin Sports Museum is located in the stadium of Tianjin People's Institute, which was rebuilt before the National Games. At the end of March this year, it began to open to the outside world, displaying various exhibits related to Tianjin's sports development.
Finally found the target. Xiong Baoan stood in front of the "China Football White Team" exhibition board, carefully studied and slowly recalled. "Yan Dejun, Su Yongshun, Ceng Xuelin ..." The names of idols made Xiong Baoan feel more cordial. With the passage of time, some of these names have been remembered, some have become vague, and now they have become clear again. He even remembers a player named Zhang Shuihao, nicknamed "Breaking a Thousand Troops with One Foot", because he shot through the net with a powerful shot in a game.
1956, in order to prepare for the 16 Olympic Games held in Melbourne, China Football set up two teams to participate, the winner of the trial went to Melbourne. 1957, the defeated white team settled in Tianjin and became the predecessor of the Tianjin team. The home of the team is the People's College Stadium. "My brother is on their university team and often takes me here to watch the ball. When the time comes ... "Xiong Baoan introduced that he became a fan under the influence of his brother when he was a child. "I remember that the China White Team played five games in this stadium, and the opponents were Dunnett and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ..."
For this team that had a great influence on his childhood, Xiong Lao has indescribable feelings and has been obsessed with it for so many years. With the growth of age, some things become blurred. But he can't surf the internet, and he can't find the detailed information of this team. I heard that the Tianjin Sports Museum was opened, so he made a special trip to visit it by car. He was supposed to come on Monday and happened to be closed. After a day's rest, he came again.
Xiong Baoan is a burly man with black hair. He doesn't look 7 1 year old. He explained that this is because he has always loved sports and fitness, and now he often plays table tennis and pays attention to the performance of the national football team and Tianjin TEDA team. Of course, he is more concerned about the National Games held at home.
The old man talked with Kan Kan in front of the exhibition board, and he knew the history of Tianjin football and even basketball like the back of his hand, which attracted other visitors and everyone to ask questions around him. "You can be our commentator here!" The museum staff on the side lamented that it is rare to see such a professional fan.
Several years have passed, and some members of the "China White Team" have passed away. Speaking of these people, Xiong Lao also drew a box on their names with his fingers. In order not to forget these names, Xiong Lao took out his pen and paper and recorded them one by one.
On the afternoon when Xiong Baoan visited the museum, the news that Zhang Junxiu, a famous football player in Tianjin, died of illness came out. Xiong Baoan's idol is gone again.
