超越界限!大馬男籃歸化人選博桑戈的籃球故事

對「太極」博桑戈而言,他的人生節奏本該是足球。 出生在一個把足球當作「第二語言」的家庭,他似乎註定會追隨父親的腳步。博桑戈的父親是一名職業足球員,曾效力於泰國和馬來西亞等地。然而,一群少年在混凝土球場揮灑汗水的瞬間,讓這個剛果少年的人生軌跡發生了家族始料未及的偏轉。 「我一直以為,我會成為家族裡的另一位足球員,」 他說,「但我怎麼也沒想到……」 遷徙童年:生來就要奔波 出生於剛果民主共和國的博桑戈,自幼便與遷徙生活密不可分。由於父親是職業足球員,他們一家人頻繁搬遷,從非洲到東南亞,輾轉多地生活。泰國和馬來西亞都曾經成為臨時家園——雖然他對馬來西亞的幼年時光已記憶模糊。每一次搬遷都帶來了新的經歷,同時也讓他學會了如何面對生活中的種種挑戰,從而鍛煉出他的堅韌意志。 「足球是我生命的底色,」 博桑戈回憶道,「這是我們家族的語言,是我家人所了解並熱愛的一切。」在這樣一個足球文化濃厚的家庭長大,博桑戈從小就聽過許多關於父親足球生涯的故事,甚至有著理所當然的期望,認為他總有一天會踏上綠茵場,繼承父親的衣缽。然而,命運卻為他安排了另一條道路。 適應新的環境對他來說不僅僅是生活上的挑戰,對年幼的博桑戈更是一種磨練韌性與適應能力的成長課程。「你學會如何重新開始,如何融入新環境,如何生存,」 他說,「這不僅僅是適應,而是要在不熟悉的環境中找到屬於自己的立足之地。」這些寶貴的經歷,最終成為他人生的重要養分,並在他開始走上一條與家族期待截然不同的道路時,發揮了不可或缺的作用。 點擊閱讀完整文章:Link
