Let's talk about Dynamo Kiev's rival.

If it is immediately clear that football or any other sport is a matter of politics, it can simply be extended to the past Serbian football. Politics flows into football more and less through, but a lot has happened and is expected secretly, behind the scenes. In Belgrade and its outskirts, everything turned out so clearly that it’s amazing that the communist structures didn’t handle things like that.

Zhovten 1944 – The 3rd Ukrainian Front liberates Belgrade from Nazi burial grounds.

1945 – two football clubs with borderline communist symbols are founded in Belgrade, so “on the birch” the share of the grandees is destined.

Since Crvena Zvezda and for decades there is no doubt in anyone’s mind which regime it symbolizes, then Partizan sounds definitely bad. Of course, there are partisans and in the fight for good - people are on guard to resist the Russian plague in the occupied territories at once. But the latest version of history does not leave doubts: Partisans were named after the most communist partisans, the leader of whom was the ideological Bolshevik and the future dictator of Yugoslavia for 27 years Josip Broz Tito.

The club, named in honor of the real rebels, the Croatian Hajduk, during the communist hours was just inspired by other roles (thus, with championships for at least 50 years, but with many seasons to live without claims to high places, with finishes in the lower half of the table). And the Partisan axis quickly became the elite of local football: having already won the first championship of post-war Yugoslavia. Ale Partizan took over without taking any place: and the axis “under” Crvena Zvezda commune was re-formed by the previous club, FC “Yugoslavia” - and in its place the upcoming Champions Cup was formed.

So, “for two”, two communist newcomers began to rule in the championship of the great land. Crvena Zvezda won 19 Yugoslav championships, Partizan – 11. These teams are in the lead for the number of points among the top three, for the points scored and are also behind all the top performances in the league. Axis for the many wins of the Marshal Tito Cup (it’s not true, it’s not surprising that in this country the trophy is named after the dictator? ) Partisans share a third place with Haiduk. Voni took 9 trophies, while Crvena Zvezda won 19 cups.

This historic race was lost to the “Chervono-Whites”. They have won more than just Cups, and championships - without even mentioning that such a trump card as the Champions Cup, the representatives of such a championship were eager to interrupt. Crvena Zvezda won the “burdock” trophy in 1991, Partizan let its chance in 1966. What is more important, of course, is that on both the two flight projects, the historical clubs have settled on the doors. BSK (also known as FC Belgrade), which before the Second World won the Yugoslav championship five times without taking the same title for the new regime - just like another five-time champion, Zagreb " Before the speech, if you want to cheer for the light in the kingdom of the sun - Belgrade this season has turned to the big league.

The good thing is that the grandees felt the grievances of the great princes fairly. The puffing up of cheeks about the Radyansky football always screamed laughter - why didn’t they take the coveted Champions Cup and the coveted medals of the Emergency Situations, since they were so strong? - then the country with ten smaller populations achieved completely equal results. On the way to the final of the 1965/66 Champions Cup, the “Grobari” won the champions of Germany and England, Werder Bremen and Manchester United - and only Real Madrid, an absolutely incredible value for football (including? ) hour, at the finale appeared strongest.

At the warehouse, which took place in the second place at Euro-1960 and the fourth at the Emergency 1962, at the warehouse there was almost a grave of Partizan. At the warehouse, which beat England (the other champions of the world! ) it’s already five days until the Euro 1968 final. Partizan also has one record that cannot be broken: having taken part in the first match in the history of European Cups. In 1955, the trip to Lisbon drew 3:3, and in the game the Grobari won 5:2. In the formerly frozen ranking of national team Yugoslavia's goalscorers, the top two places are occupied by Partizan legends Milan Galic and Zvonimir Bobek, and Milutin Soskic, who was the goalkeeper of the republic at the golden hour.

Before we talk about “grobariv”. This team was a sign of bitterness: when they beat Juventus in one of their friendly matches, the president presented them with a black and white kit, which formed their current colors. Fans have already quickly nicknamed themselves “graveyards,” and this (although, obviously, not only) has formed a very specific image of a Partizan fan. This image deserves to be described, but it is unimportant to those who will hold the home match of Serbia with empty stands – the table is vin tsikavyi.

Let's talk about the good first (or at least not about the definitely bad stuff). Torsida Partizan - the butt of how to get into the club. Apparently, for example, the stinks bothered the team to deprive the mixed zone after the lost match, locked them in the bus and asked the Gravians to ask themselves, “the stinks are always at Partizan? The presence of fans is a great plus for the team’s chances of victory, and there is no risk of manipulation. Last season, they decided to watch football matches and, as we know, switched to basketball. About the reasons for such a decision - a few words below.

“Grobari” is a stronger community, which can serve as a butt to the performance in the stands created by fans of the show. In this case, the behavior can become an anti-butt: the Serbs poured water on the linesmen, and threw snowballs at the judge, and there are bloody legends about battles against equals. Partizan's matches, especially the “eternal derby” against Crvena Zvezda, are always attended by hundreds of fans, “most of them” with some cold, and sometimes flammable armor.

Ale tse ko'uniti, vesno, may clearly express the pro-Russian vector. Nastlyki, that Partizan fans were not allowed into the match last year against Sheriff due to the risk of a coup d'etat. Moreover, one of the deputies of parliament learned that the President of Ukraine especially told our neighbors about the revealed sabotage:.

“This year, Chisinau will host a football match between teams from Serbia and Moldova. It was initially planned that fans of the Serbian team would come to our country. Zhusillyam SIB, developed long before the information appeared, given by Zelensky, the team from Serbia is losing for empty stands, because they planned to bring saboteurs.” There is a lot of what Serbian fans support the club structures. It’s a pity, the support of the terrorist country is the same thing, which is where the stench converges. Partizan played the first international match in its history against CSKA Moscow. The biggest fans of the “grobars” are still friends with the representatives of their club – and also with PAOK, which, as per agreement, already in 2012, the Russian Ivan Savvidi added. And although Crvena Zvezda clearly supports our enemy, it is clear that at Partizan matches you can see banners with the letter “Z”, Russian flags, etc..

If we soon recognize that football or any other sport is a matter of politics, it can simply be brought to the present day in Serbian football. Politics flows into football more and less through, but a lot has happened and is expected secretly, behind the scenes. In Belgrade and its surroundings, everything is figured out so clearly that it’s surprising that the current pro-Russian structures are not so elaborate.

The President of Serbia for the past seven years has been Oleksandr Vucic. Vin doesn’t like his political counterparts: he’s rooting for Crvena Zvezda. And this one needs to understand: it’s all the same that Vucic is the President of Serbia, and the Chervono-Whites invariably become a champion! Moreover, this series started just like this, and before that, the “red and white” ice had accumulated 3 championships in 11 years.

The partisans have lost the throne, and what’s more, it’s less clear to talk about the administrative resources of Crvena Zvezda. Season 22/23 became the first in the history of the championship of Serbia, if the “grobari” did not lose the first three – and as a result of the champion they rose by 25 points. It seems that the time has come for Vucic’s help, swedishly, for fans of Vojvodina and Cukaricek.

And Partizan Varto jokes about his own problems. Fewer and fewer clubs are being deprived of the highest-selling clubs of the last century – and Partizan among them. The sale of Matej Kezman from PSV back in 2000 for 14 million euros was a beautiful thing, but you can’t sell anyone for such a pittance at once – this is a serious concern for management. Moreover, and another for the price of sales in the history of the former for a long time: Savich from Man City for 12 million, 13 years ago.

Today’s “grobars” have forgotten how to identify talents – and this is one of the main complaints of fans. There are a lot of leading superstars, like Mijatovic, who were not recruited by Partizan - but at the same time the club does not cultivate talents. As a result, the Gravtsi club will be deprived of it without cost or for pennies for daily football. The rare legionnaire Takuma Asano, who appeared even red in Bochum, was hopeless - his contract was not extended immediately.

The partisan is becoming older and older. Bibras Natcho himself will finish the game (maybe 100 matches for the national team of Israel), who is very good at winning penalties, and who already has 36 caps. And of all the graves, of which there are 29 and more rocks (which will be very important to sell), the Partizan Okrema applicant has a team of 11 individuals. The most prominent leader is Matheus Saldanha, who became the highest scorer last season with 17 goals.

I don’t know why I’m obsessing over warehouses and diagrams.. Summer for such teams is an hour when three quarters of the roster can change. Dynamo was lucky enough to reject a rival, it would be disgraceful not to pass - both in the ideological sense and in the football sense.
