Atmospheric reportage Football. ua about Shakhtar - Napoli match at Metallist Stadium.
Kharkov long waited for this moment. So long that it became the largest European city, the team of which did not bring to the home stadium the Champions League. Unfortunately, Metalist failed to do this and did not, and Metalist-1925 to think about it very early. But it turned out for Shakhtar.
Kharkiv residents may have 99 and one more reason not to like Shakhtar, but they did really much good for the city. Yesterday Kharkiv for the first time heard the anthem of the Champions League. Any football fan this melody can not leave indifferent, and live - in general without chances sneaks up to a shit. Hear the anthem of the Champions League at home stadium - priceless.
The filled stadium was supported by Shakhtar, although before the full sold-out, quite a bit was not enough. Although almost 33 thousand viewers in the current Ukrainian realities - this is a very cool result. Lviv would be so able?.
By the way, about 300 fans from among those who attended the Metalist stadium, were hot Neapolitan typhosi. True, they behaved surprisingly quietly, both in the city and at the stadium.
The first ligochempionsky goal in Kharkov looked like a gift for the fans. Agree, in what Tyson scored - there was something symbolic.
Fans heartily drove the Donchans forward, thanks for the brought holiday, but did not forget about their own team, from time to time chanting rechovki in support of Metalist. It was touching.
Before the start of the match, the fans warmly received the coach of the national team of Andrey Shevchenko, who before the game appeared on the field to cheer Ukrainian players Shakhtar before an important match. Shevchenko at the edge of the field something suggested to Victor Kovalenko, who received a ton of heta from the fans after the failed last games.
By the way, it was one of the intrigues of the match - how "goldenboy" will cope with this all and whether it becomes for him an additional motivation. Unfortunately, Fonseca took Kovalenko little time, releasing only a substitute in the second half, but Victor again did not take advantage of a pair of percussion capabilities, and then just in case disappeared into the field.
The miner started in European competition in Kharkov with an important victory over a difficult opponent, showing a steep attacking and open football, which can not help liking fans, and questioned the thesis about the unhappiness of the Kharkov stadium, which can not but rejoice.
*** The match was over, the happy fans were hurrying on the subway to get home as soon as possible. Champions League - Champions League, but tomorrow morning everyone to work.
The subway worker asked the fans how the match ended:.
- Did they win?.
- Yes, 2: 1.
- Wow! Miner - well done.
It seems that Shakhtar was for his citizens. Let it be so. Kharkiv again lives football, and it's good.
