Football. ua tells about the situation in Odessa before the match Mariupol - Djurgarden.
The results of Chernomorets on the football field are not so good as its stadium, so it is not surprising that in this season the anthem of the Europa League will be played in Odessa at matches of another team. This time, Mariupol came to Odessa, who takes part in LE Jurgarden.
The first evidence of the approaching match was a couple from Mariupol, who arrived specifically for the game and believes in the victory of his native team.
Almost immediately, I meet four fans from Sweden. How long have they been rooting for Djurgarden? Since birth! So says one of them, Thomas. Well, it turns out a lot - 40 years.
"Odessa is a very steep and beautiful city!" - Kai answers a question about impressions from the city.
Mariupol also made a good impression on them: "Mariupol is a very aggressive and disciplined team. The first match was very good. In Sweden, Mariupol would be somewhere in the middle of the table ".
And what about the forecasts? Thomas predicts the victory of Djurgarden with a score of 2: 0, and his friend adds that they believe in this result with all their heart.
In the center of the city, these two cases remained the only reminder of the upcoming match. Perhaps, it would be naive to expect something different, given the signboard of the match.
Closer to the stadium, the colors of the Swedes are encountered more and more often. One group is located in a pub not far. Have they been impressed by something in Ukraine?.
"Odessa is a damn fine city, and you also have a lot of beautiful girls," they state,.
But not only beautiful girls in Odessa.
"Yesterday we went to the stadium, it is very beautiful, and the park around it is amazing".
And these Swedes also predict that their team will score twice - though, and will miss. 2: 1 in favor of Djurgarden. Although they do not mind and see 1: 1 with a subsequent victory in seven penalties.
On this we said goodbye and I went to watch the match. I hope the next such report from Odessa will be in a couple of weeks.
