Red Star - Partizan "Eternal Derby" Belgrade

25.02.202227.05.2017

The 28th round played last weekend in the Serbian championship was marked by the 142nd perpetual derby. And even if the champion is already known, and the intrigue in the league has noticeably weakened, in such matches the teams simply do not have the right to play carelessly.

In general, the derby was successful. Partizan controlled the game and had more opportunities for scoring, but... It happens that the opponent is more successful. Already in stoppage time, on the 3rd added minute, the Brazilian midfielder of the guests Kadu brings victory to Red Star.

Video review of the match

Partizan - Red Star 0:1 (0:0)

Goals: 0:1 - Cadu 90+3’

"Partizan": Petrovich, Milkovich, Volkov, Ivanov, Ostoich, Smilyanich, Medo, Tomic, Babovich, Ilic (82’ L. Markovich), Diarra.

"Red Star": Bajkovic, Tosic, Maksimovic, Mladenovic, Mikich, Miyayilovic, Dimitrijevic (77' Veshovic), Evandro, Lazovic (65' Borja), Milivojevic (69' Kadu), Kasalica.

“I am disappointed with the result, but proud of my players who took the title this year. And in this game against such a strong team, even without a few players, we were stronger, creating chances, and the opponent used his only chance in the second half.

I have said many times that I respect the work of our previous coach, who gave us a 10-point lead, which made my job easier. However, we had a lot of problems this spring, now we do without Vukic and Szczepovic. We won the title with 3 rounds to go, it was a prestige match. We wanted to win, but unfortunately we couldn't.", Abraham Grant said at a press conference.

Then the Partizan coach was followed by a series of unpleasant questions from the journalist Zoran Stojadinovic (if you like, the journalist slightly trolled Grant), which followed:

- Will you be in charge of the club in the next "Vechity Derby"?

- I do not understand the question Grant replied

- Do you think you will stay at Partizan at the end of the season?

- I do not understand the question.

- Will you resign?

- I do not understand the question.

- Do you know that in addition to the legend of Millwall, you also became the legend of Red Star Star?

- I do not understand the question Grant repeated for the fourth time.

Rumors of Grant's resignation are indeed in the air. It is possible that the Israeli specialist will soon be replaced by the Teleoptics mentor Vuk Rashovich. President Dragan Djuric, who left the match immediately after Kadu's goal, and sports coordinator Albert Nagy did not comment on the situation.

“This win means a lot to our young team, but we haven't won anything yet. May 16 we are waiting for the cup final. This is very important point for us now. We are favorites, but so far only on paper.

Derby really happened. Neither we nor Partizan wanted to concede. I am very glad that we managed to defeat our eternal rival for the third time in a row. I am happy that we beat such a great team as Partizan. The players showed that they have character and in the end fortune smiled at us”,- Robert Prosinechki said at the press conference.

After the game, Robbie kissed all his players.

Prosinechki in any case deserves respect. He managed to finish the season with dignity in a difficult situation, when the club has debts and the issue of participating in the Europa League is acute:

“In the last 16 games, our team won 13, and 3 more ended in a draw. I understand that there were also bad games, like against Novi Pazar and OFK. I think that I have qualified guys in my team, and with them I can only count on winning. Looking forward to next season to win the Super League and qualify for the Europa League group stage."

The newcomer of the “eternal derby” Milos Ostojic, like Nemanja Tomic, after the match complained about the missed chances:

“It’s unpleasant to lose in your first derby. As in previous matches with Zvezda, we were unable to use our chances. There was not enough concentration in the final stage.

Vladimir Volkov and Lazar Markovich refused to communicate with the press. But Milan Smilyanich was more talkative:

“I can't believe we lost all 3 spring matches against Zvezda. It's sad, but we are the champions, and we have nothing to complain about. Today we played well, and we are not ashamed to look in the eye."

At the end of the match, Smilyanich got into a skirmish with the fans from the "forbidden" group, and then openly greeted the Partizan fans in the south stand.

“I feel great. We did a great job, but we also reached the cup final, and it is important for us to win this trophy. And the goal was perhaps the most important in my career.

Crvena Zvezda goalkeeper Boban Bajkovic seriously believes that in fact his club became the champion of Serbia:

“Beating Partizan three times is not so easy, but I repeat: I would not want to win the title in this way. I'm not lying, I actually think so. The fans and I think we are the champions! The only thing is that our neighbors will play in the Champions League qualification, and we will play in the Europa League.”

As for Baykovich, there are active rumors about the involvement of this Montenegrin goalkeeper in the Serbian national team. Here is what Boban himself replied to:

“You should ask Mihailovich. I want to defend the colors of Serbia and I hope in my heart that a new coach will be called."

After the match, the Red Star players went to thank their loyal fans.

I was also struck by the moment in this video when the riot police detained two fans of Delije, and the Zvezda players rushed to fight them off.

For Partizan's recent debutant Milos Ostojic, this was the first derby in his career

The match was attended by Sinisa Mihajlovic. It is quite possible that several players from those who took to the field on Saturday will be called up by him for the next friendly matches.

Wow, how Vladimir Volkov flies! But his Mikhailovich, apparently, will not be called to the national team - with a high degree of probability, Vladimir will play for Montenegro.

Our blog congratulates Red Star fans on their victory, and I ask Partizan fans not to be upset. As a consolation, here is the news - perhaps in the summer the striker of the Serbian national team and the Swiss "Sion" Dragan Mrdzha will move to you.

Meanwhile, in the Serbian Super League, a fierce struggle for the third and fourth line continues. 4 teams are currently competing for two places, giving the right to play very soon in the European League - Vojvodina, Radnicki 1923, Yagodina and Sloboda. After the 28th round, the situation with tickets to European competitions has become even more confusing. Yes, and it must be recalled that, provided that Borac performs a miracle in the cup final and beats Red Star, then fourth place in the championship will not lead anyone to any European league.

In Novi Sad, where local fans took up arms against the leadership of their club, as well as the keeper Nemanja Supic, Vojvodina dealt with BSC quite easily - 2:0. There, the Cameroonian Abubakar Oumaru, who scored a double, was heroic.

Vojvodina - BSC 2:0

Goals: Oumaru 15, 31

Vojvodina: Supich, Vulicevic, Pavlovic, Trajkovic (Milovic 67), Moisov, Ajuru, Poletanovic, Stevanovic, Katai (Bojovic 83), Oumaru, Skuletic (Novakovic 80)

BSC: Kovacevic, Boshkovich, Supich, Stamenkovich, Celebich, Tashic, Jovanovich (Mulkan), Blagojevich (Savkovich), Bulatovich (Vinjevich), Dzhukich, Simovich.

Yagodina - Radnicki 1:0

Goals: Gogich 6

"Yagodina": Simic - Djukic, Ilic, Tomic, Projic - Marjanovic, Krstic, Gogich - Stojanovic, Dzhenic, Stoikov.

"Radnicki 1923": Chancharevich - Pavlovich, Nenadich, Kosorich, Tintor - I. Petrovich, Nedovich, Mutavdzhich - Miloshkovich, Spalevic, Kostic.

Yagodina has reduced its gap from 4th place to a minimum and for the first time in its history seriously claims European competition. A significant share of success belongs, of course, to their head coach - Simo Krunic. Yagodina goalkeeper Marko Simic is being asked by the press to join Partizan.

OFK Belgrade - Metalac 2:0(Batiokha 17, Miyich 39)

OFC midfielder Ivan Kechoevich is likely to move to Toulouse in the summer. And Metalac is already officially relegated to the first league, but new season will meet at the new cozy four-thousandth stadium, which cost the club only 2.8 million euros.

Hajduk - Yavor 1:4(Chovilo 90 - Odita 17, Veljovic 21, 32, Misic)

Rad 2-1 Borac(Raspopovic 61, Chausic 78 – Pavicevich 74 (p))

Sloboda - Novi Pazar 3:0(Kovacevic 15, Randjelovic 36, Kovacevic 58 (p))

As part of Sloboda, Predrag Randjelovic scored a goal. Yes, the same one that at the beginning of the 2000s was dusting in CSKA, Zenit and Anji.

Spartak - Smederevo 4:1(Torbitsa 19, 73, Boljevic (ag) 21, Adamovic 90 – Kovacevic 41)

At the end, as a bonus - a great graffiti from the fans of "Red Star"

The two clubs also enjoy a lot of support in Bosnia and Herzegovina (especially Republika Srpska) and Montenegro. Also groups of fans of these teams exist in almost all the republics of the former Yugoslavia.

These matches always attract a lot of attention from the Serbian public. IN last years the quality of football and the overall level of the Serbian championship reduced interest in this confrontation. In addition, very often meetings between these two teams contribute to a surge in football hooliganism and violence, causing a decrease in derby attendance. The record attendance for the match "Crvena Zvezda" - "Partizan", recorded at the Belgrade stadium "Crvena Zvezda" - 108,000 spectators.

Fans

For fans of both teams "Eternal Derby"- one of the most important events of the season. As a result, fans are always actively supporting their team, preparing colorful choreographies, banners and text messages, which are often addressed to rivals. Traditionally, these events are held by the most active groups of fans of both teams - "Grobar" And "Delije".

Group of fans "Partizan" Grobari(translated from Serbian - "gravediggers") was founded in 1970. There are two versions of the appearance of this name - the similarity of the black-and-white form of "Partizan" with the then official uniform of the gravediggers and the origin of the name of the street on which the club's stadium is located - Khumska street (archaic Serbian: khumka - "grave"). The first organized groups of Partizan fans began attending the team's games in the late 1950s. Partizan's participation in the European Cup final in 1966 attracted a large number of fans to the stadium and was a key moment in organizing active fans in the South Stand, where they are based to this day. In the 1970s, as throughout Europe, coffins began to use various stadium paraphernalia: club scarves, banners, drums, flags and pyrotechnics (in the late 1970s), which brought stadium support to a new level. By the 1980s, Grobari had become one of the four strongest fan factions in Yugoslavia and began to travel to all of Partizan's away matches in the country and Europe. Due to their aggressive behavior on the road towards opponents, the fans that form the core of the group were often referred to as the "punitive expedition". They were widely known for their adherence to the English backing style, based mainly on continuous singing.

Group of Red Star fans "Delije"(translated from Serbian - "heroes") was formed on January 7, 1989. Prior to this, the team was actively supported by 7-8 different fan groups located on the North Stand of the team's stadium. Among them, the most famous were Red Devils, Zulu Warriors And Ultras. As a sign of gratitude to the fans, the club's management placed the inscription "Delije" on the North Stand of the stadium, where the most devoted and active Red Star fans gather. Fans of "Partizan" often contemptuously refer to "Delije" as gypsies. Even though the nickname is considered derogatory, Red Star Star fans sometimes use it themselves in their songs. Delijé currently consists of five major fan groups: Ultras RSB, Ultra Boys, Belgrade Boys, Heroes, Brigate.

Team matches are almost always accompanied by a clash of opposing factions with each other and with the police. During matches between Crvena Zvezda and Partizan, football hooligans of both teams often sort things out with each other, and various incidents are not uncommon. Fights between two warring factions did not necessarily happen on the day of the derby, but could happen at any other time.

So, for example, on October 30, 1999, during a derby at the Partizan stadium, a 17-year-old Red Star fan was killed by a missile fired from the Partizan fan sector. In 2006, a fight between fans of Zvezda and Partizan with knives ended in the death of one of the participants.

Football rivalry

The main football rivalry of pre-war Yugoslavia was considered the match between the capital's BSK and Yugoslavia. However, after the war, the situation in Yugoslav football changed. "Yugoslavia" was disbanded, BSK changed its name several times, and since 1957, having received the new name "OFK", it lost its strength and place in the country's main football confrontation. On March 4, 1945, Red Star was formed (as a club of the United Union of Anti-Fascist Youth), and on October 4 of the same year Partizan was formed (as a club of the Yugoslav People's Army). The first match between the teams took place on January 5, 1947 and ended with the victory of Red Star Star - 4:3.

These two teams were leading in Socialist Yugoslavia, having won 30 national titles for two (19 for Red Star and 11 for Partizan). Also, the matches of Crvena Zvezda and Partizan against Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split were of a sharp nature, mainly due to the traditional Serbo-Croatian rivalry. After the collapse of Yugoslavia and after the unified league of Yugoslav football ceased to exist, the derby between Zvezda and Partizan became the largest confrontation in the championship of Serbia and Montenegro.

An excerpt characterizing the Eternal Derby

The next day after the show, Boris, dressed in the best uniform and instructed by the wishes of success from his comrade Berg, went to Olmutz to Bolkonsky, wanting to take advantage of his affection and arrange for himself the best position, especially the position of an adjutant with an important person, which seemed to him especially tempting in the army . “It’s good for Rostov, to whom his father sends 10 thousand each, to talk about how he doesn’t want to bow to anyone and won’t become a lackey to anyone; but I, who have nothing but my head, have to make my career and not miss opportunities, but use them.
In Olmutz, he did not find Prince Andrei that day. But the sight of Olmutz, where the main apartment stood, the diplomatic corps and both emperors lived with their retinues - courtiers, close associates, only strengthened his desire to belong to this supreme world.
He didn't know anyone, and despite his smart guard uniform, all these superior people, scurrying through the streets, in dandy carriages, plumes, ribbons and orders, courtiers and military men, it seemed, stood so immeasurably higher than he, a guards officer, that they not only did not want, but could not recognize his existence. In the premises of Commander-in-Chief Kutuzov, where he asked Bolkonsky, all these adjutants and even batmen looked at him as if they wanted to convince him that there were a lot of officers like him hanging around here and that they were all very tired. Despite this, or rather because of this, the next day, on the 15th, after dinner he again went to Olmutz and, entering the house occupied by Kutuzov, asked Bolkonsky. Prince Andrei was at home, and Boris was led into a large hall, in which, probably, they used to dance, but now there were five beds, heterogeneous furniture: a table, chairs and clavichords. One adjutant, closer to the door, in a Persian robe, sat at the table and wrote. The other, red, fat Nesvitsky, lay on the bed with his hands under his head, and laughed with the officer who sat down beside him. The third played the Viennese waltz on the clavichords, the fourth lay on these clavichords and sang along with him. Bolkonsky was not there. None of these gentlemen, noticing Boris, did not change his position. The one who wrote, and to whom Boris addressed, turned around annoyedly and told him that Bolkonsky was on duty, and that he should go to the left through the door, to the reception room, if he needed to see him. Boris thanked and went to the reception. There were about ten officers and generals in the waiting room.
At the time when Boris ascended, Prince Andrei, screwing up his eyes contemptuously (with that special look of courteous fatigue, which clearly says that, if it were not for my duty, I would not talk to you for a minute), listened to the old Russian general in orders, who, almost on tiptoe, at the hood, with a soldier's obsequious expression on his purple face, was reporting something to Prince Andrei.
“Very well, if you please wait,” he said to the general in that French reprimand in Russian, which he spoke when he wanted to speak contemptuously, and, noticing Boris, no longer turning to the general (who ran after him pleadingly, asking him to listen to something else) , Prince Andrei with a cheerful smile, nodding to him, turned to Boris.
Boris at that moment already clearly understood what he had foreseen before, namely, that in the army, in addition to the subordination and discipline that was written in the regulations, and which was known in the regiment, and he knew, there was another, more significant subordination, the one that made this tightened, purple-faced general wait respectfully, while the captain, Prince Andrei, found it more convenient for his own pleasure to talk with Ensign Drubetskoy. More than ever, Boris decided to continue to serve not according to the one written in the charter, but according to this unwritten subordination. He now felt that only as a result of the fact that he had been recommended to Prince Andrei, he had already immediately risen above the general, who in other cases, in the front, could destroy him, the ensign of the guards. Prince Andrew went up to him and took his hand.
“I'm sorry you didn't catch me yesterday. I spent the whole day fussing with the Germans. We went with Weyrother to check the disposition. How the Germans will take up accuracy - there is no end!
Boris smiled, as if he understood what, as well-known, Prince Andrei was hinting at. But for the first time he heard the name of Weyrother and even the word disposition.
- Well, my dear, do you want to be adjutant? I thought about you during this time.
“Yes, I thought,” said Boris, involuntarily blushing for some reason, “to ask the commander in chief; he had a letter about me from Prince Kuragin; I wanted to ask only because, - he added, as if apologizing that, I'm afraid, the guards will not be in business.
- Fine! Fine! we'll talk about everything, - said Prince Andrei, - just let me report about this gentleman, and I belong to you.
While Prince Andrei went to report about the crimson general, this general, apparently not sharing Boris's concepts of the benefits of unwritten subordination, so rested his eyes on the impudent ensign, who prevented him from talking with the adjutant, that Boris became embarrassed. He turned away and waited impatiently for Prince Andrei to return from the office of the commander-in-chief.
“That's what, my dear, I was thinking about you,” said Prince Andrei, when they went into a large hall with clavichords. “There’s nothing for you to go to the commander-in-chief,” said Prince Andrei, “he will tell you a bunch of pleasantries, tell you to come to him for dinner (“it wouldn’t be so bad for service in that subordination,” thought Boris), but from this further nothing will come of it; we, adjutants and orderlies, will soon have a battalion. But this is what we will do: I have a good friend, an adjutant general and a wonderful person, Prince Dolgorukov; and although you may not know this, the fact is that now Kutuzov with his headquarters and we all mean absolutely nothing: everything is now concentrated at the sovereign; so we'll go to Dolgorukov, I should go to him, I already told him about you; so we'll see; whether he finds it possible to attach you with him, or somewhere there, closer to the sun.
Prince Andrei was always especially animated when he had to lead young man and help him in social success. Under the pretext of this help to another, which he would never have proudly accepted for himself, he was close to the environment that gave success and that attracted him to itself. He very willingly took up Boris and went with him to Prince Dolgorukov.
It was already late in the evening when they went up to the Olmutsky Palace, occupied by the emperors and their entourage.
On that very day there was a council of war, in which all the members of the Hofkriegsrat and both emperors participated. At the council, contrary to the opinion of the old people - Kutuzov and Prince Schwarzernberg, it was decided to immediately advance and give a general battle to Bonaparte. The military council had just ended when Prince Andrei, accompanied by Boris, came to the palace in search of Prince Dolgorukov. Still all the faces of the main apartment were under the charm of today's military council, victorious for the party of the young. The voices of the procrastinators, advising to expect something else without attacking, were so unanimously muffled and their arguments refuted by undeniable evidence of the benefits of the offensive, that what was being discussed in the council, the future battle and, no doubt, victory, seemed no longer the future, but the past. All benefits were on our side. Huge forces, no doubt superior to those of Napoleon, were drawn into one place; the troops were animated by the presence of the emperors and rushed into action; the strategic point at which they had to act was known to the smallest detail to the Austrian general Weyrother, who led the troops (as if by a lucky chance, the Austrian troops were on maneuvers last year on precisely those fields in which they now had to fight the French); the present terrain was known to the smallest detail and shown on maps, and Bonaparte, apparently weakened, did nothing.
Dolgorukov, one of the most ardent supporters of the offensive, had just returned from the council, tired and exhausted, but animated and proud of the victory he had won. Prince Andrei introduced the officer he patronized, but Prince Dolgorukov, after shaking his hand politely and firmly, said nothing to Boris and, apparently unable to refrain from expressing those thoughts that most occupied him at that moment, turned in French to Prince Andrei.
- Well, my dear, what a battle we fought! God only grant that that which will be the result of it would be just as victorious. However, my dear,” he said in fragmentary and animated terms, “I must confess my guilt before the Austrians and especially before Weyrother. What precision, what detail, what knowledge of the terrain, what foresight of all possibilities, all conditions, all the smallest details! No, my dear, it is impossible to invent anything more advantageous than the conditions in which we find ourselves. The combination of Austrian distinctness with Russian courage - what else do you want?
“So the offensive is finally decided?” Bolkonsky said.
“And you know, my dear, it seems to me that Buonaparte has definitely lost his Latin. You know that today a letter has been received from him to the emperor. Dolgorukov smiled significantly.
– That's how! What does he write? Bolkonsky asked.
What can he write? Tradiridira, etc., all just to gain time. I tell you that he is in our hands; It's right! But the funniest thing of all,” he said, suddenly laughing good-naturedly, “is that they couldn’t figure out how to address the answer to him? If not the consul, it goes without saying not the emperor, then General Buonaparte, as it seemed to me.
“But there is a difference between not recognizing the emperor, and calling Buonaparte general,” said Bolkonsky.
“That's just the point,” Dolgorukov said quickly, laughing and interrupting. - You know Bilibin, he is a very smart person, he offered to address: "usurper and enemy of the human race."
Dolgorukov laughed merrily.
- No more? Bolkonsky noted.
- But still, Bilibin found a serious address title. And a witty and intelligent person.
- How?
“To the head of the French government, au chef du gouverienement francais,” Prince Dolgorukov said seriously and with pleasure. - Isn't that good?
“Good, but he won’t like it very much,” Bolkonsky remarked.
- Oh, and very much! My brother knows him: he dined with him more than once, with the present emperor, in Paris and told me that he had never seen a more refined and cunning diplomat: you know, a combination of French dexterity and Italian acting? Do you know his jokes with Count Markov? Only one Count Markov knew how to handle him. Do you know the history of the scarf? This is a charm!
And the garrulous Dolgorukov, turning now to Boris, now to Prince Andrei, told how Bonaparte, wanting to test Markov, our envoy, purposely dropped his handkerchief in front of him and stopped, looking at him, probably expecting services from Markov, and how, Markov immediately he dropped his handkerchief beside him and picked up his own without picking up Bonaparte's handkerchief.
- Charmant, [Charming,] - said Bolkonsky, - but here's what, prince, I came to you as a petitioner for this young man. Do you see what?…
But Prince Andrei did not have time to finish, when an adjutant entered the room, who called Prince Dolgorukov to the emperor.
- Oh, what a shame! - said Dolgorukov, hastily getting up and shaking hands with Prince Andrei and Boris. - You know, I am very glad to do everything that depends on me, both for you and for this nice young man. - He once again shook Boris's hand with an expression of good-natured, sincere and lively frivolity. “But you see…until another time!”
Boris was excited by the thought of the closeness to the highest power in which he felt himself at that moment. He was aware of himself here in contact with those springs that guided all those enormous movements of the masses, of which he in his regiment felt himself to be a small, obedient and insignificant part. They went out into the corridor after Prince Dolgorukov and met a short man in civilian clothes, with an intelligent face and a sharp line of protruding jaw, which, without spoiling him, gave him a special vivacity and resourcefulness of expression. This short man nodded, as to his own, Dolgoruky, and began to stare at Prince Andrei with an intently cold look, walking straight at him and apparently waiting for Prince Andrei to bow to him or give way. Prince Andrei did neither one nor the other; Anger was expressed in his face, and the young man, turning away, walked along the side of the corridor.

October 7th, 2017 03:41 pm

The third day of my vacation in Serbia ended with a long-awaited trip to the Eternal Derby - the confrontation between the football clubs Crvena Zvezda and Partizan.

I have already been to the Eternal Derby in April 2014, it was the 146th confrontation. And on August 27, 2017, the 155th derby took place. The very first derby (which at that time was by no means "eternal") was played on January 5, 1947, that is, the history of the main sports confrontation in Serbia (and in general the Balkans) has more than 70 years.

That time, at the 146th derby, the teams played at the Partizan Stadium. Now the owner of the field was Red Star. Over the past three years, the Star Stadium has already managed to change its name - now it is called "Raiko Mitic" in honor of one of the main legends of Yugoslav football in general and the CZ in particular. Crvena Zvezda became the champion in 2014 and 2016, Partizan - in 2015 and 2017. Right before the 155th derby, both teams made their way (for the first time in many years) to the group stage of European competition. CZ on its way to the Europa League passed the Russian Krasnodar, and the “grobari” turned out to be stronger than the Hungarian Videoton.
During these three years, Zvezda changed several coaches at once: in the 146th derby and in general in the entire 2013/14 championship season, the team was led by the Slovenian Slavisa Stojanovic, the 2014/15 season was led by Nenad Lalatovic, and then for two seasons the head coach of the CZ was good known in Russia Montenegrin Miodrag Bozovic. In June 2017, Crvena Zvezda was headed by Vladan Milojevic, who immediately achieved success in European competition. In 2014, Zvezda managed to survive the expulsion from European competitions due to financial fair play violations, then the place of the red-and-whites in the Champions League was taken by the sworn rival Partizan.
During the same time, Partizan changed even more coaches: the young coach Marko Nikolic led the team to the 146th derby, in March 2015 he was replaced by Zoran Milinkovic. In October of the same 2015, Lyubinko Drulovich became the head coach of the graves. He only stayed in office for two months and was fired due to poor results. Then, for about six months, black and white was headed by Ivan Tomic (emphasis on "o", of course). In August 2016, Tomic was again replaced by Marko Nikolic, who led Partizan to win the championship and the cup in the 2016/17 season, after which he moved ... to Videoton, later knocked out by Partizan from European competitions! And the place of Nikolic was taken by the most famous Yugoslav and Serbian defender Miroslav Djukic in the past. Finally, there were serious changes in the camp of coffin fans - the Zabraneni group, located in the East, practically disintegrated, and its main part returned to the South, to the Alkatraz association. However, as it turned out, “Zabraneni” can still put a good composition on the podium.

In the spring of 2014, I watched the derby in the east stand of the Partizan stadium, but in a sector that was close to the north stand, that is, with a predominance of Zvezda fans. Now I have taken a ticket to the North itself - to the epicenter of shiza, thunder and madness. Well, more precisely, I did not take the ticket myself, it was kindly bought for me by the owner of my hostel, Marco.

The picture is hard to see, but the ticket price is 800 dinars, that is, about 460 rubles. It's quite expensive for ordinary Serbian football matches, but, for example, a ticket for the 146th derby cost me 1500 dinars in general - as they say, feel the difference.

While I was still walking before the match, I went to the Bylonian market.

"The sweetest of the sweetest, from the uncle from Idvor" - that's what it says here. 35 dinars per kilogram, that is, 20 rubles each. I did not buy a watermelon, but took a glass of raspberries (100 dinars), a jar of orange jam (200 dinars), a healthy loaf of bread (53 dinars), as well as four apples and an orange (together - 195 dinars).

Returning from the market to the hostel, I saw this ad on King Alexander Boulevard:

It is hard to see even with the 900 extension, but I will describe in detail. This is an invitation to the match between Poljot (Dorcol) and Radnicki (Obrenovac), which took place the day before the Eternal Derby - 26 August. Polet and Radnicki play in the Second Serbian League, in the Belgrade zone - that is, in the same place where the famous OFK Beograd now lives, whose home match I was on August 26 (). By the way, "flight" is, of course, not a "flight" at all, as some might think. "Flight" in Serbian will be "summer". And the word "flight" means inspiration, enthusiasm.
So, "Polyot" invited those who wished to the opening of the season: admission is free, after the end of the match, all the club's friends - a hot dog, beer and popcorn. That's what I understand - marketing! By the way, a group of German tourists, with whom I crossed paths yesterday at the OFK Beograd match and the day before yesterday at the Rada match, also visited the Polet match. And I could only be happy for them and marvel at the Balkan lifestyle and football.

Anyway. Evening has come. The match started at 19:00. My two hostel neighbors, Serbs Nenad and Nikola, who came from the Republika Srpska, and I walked on foot towards Marakana, as fans of the red and white (and not only them) call the Raiko Mitic stadium. This time, I left my camera at the hostel just in case, so all my photos and videos in this post are phone ones.

Police on Liberation Boulevard.

And this is not far from the stadium. Police helicopter in the air.

Beverage merchant and customers. I bought a bottle of Nestea from this man for 100 dinars, which I immediately emptied - it was very hot.

Nikola and Nenad had tickets to the West, so we went back to our own entrances. The screening was, as usual, very superficial, it would not have been difficult to bring pyrotechnics and other things with you. I took a place at the very top of the North, near the border with the West.

The north (and the whole stadium) was slowly filling up, but in the end there were a lot of empty seats. As I later found out, 33 thousand fans came to the 155th Eternal Derby, and in total “Raiko Mitic” accommodates 55 thousand spectators - a solid shortage for the match between Zvezda and Partizan, but there was also a day off (Sunday).

See the black background and the inscription "G Energy"? This is the tunnel through which the players and referees enter the field of the CZ stadium.

And, as soon as Partizan's footballers came out of the tunnel onto the field, the whistle of the entire North immediately rang out, and then the chants of "Mustafa, Mustafa!" At first I could not understand what was the matter, and found out only later. The stars did not whistle at all to the entire composition of Partizan. Mustafa is the only one.

Meet Vladimir Stojkovic, Partizan's goalkeeper. From 2001 to 2006, Stojkovic played for Crvena Zvezda, periodically going on loan to other clubs. Then he played in Western Europe - Nantes, Vitesse, Sporting, Getafe, Wigan. And in 2010, Stojkovic unexpectedly moved to Partizan. Everything would be fine, more than a dozen players played in the Eternal Derby for both clubs, and Jovan Jezerkic and the Macedonian Milo Djurovski even scored in the derby for both clubs. It was very unpleasant for the fans, of course. But Stojkovic lives in the age of the Internet, a lot has changed now. For example, his interview has been preserved in which he said that he would not go over to Partizan for any money, even "for 100 million". And then he took it and moved on. So the stars called him Mustafa. They like to insult with Turkish names in Serbia. Of course, Mustafa is not only a Turkish, but a generally Muslim name. However...

This is how Stojkovic was greeted on 27 August. The chant "Mustafa, Turk, fill this Kurchin!" translates "Mustafa, Turchin, suck you x.yov!" "Turchin" is the nickname of a Serb (and in general a Slav) who converted to Islam and became a Turk, spitting on the blood, faith and life of his ancestors, friends and neighbors. By the way, shortly after joining Partizan, when they began to ask quite logical questions about rooting for the Star, Stojkovic answered that it was a mistake, that he regretted it, and so on. The answer of "Delie" (CZ fans) was not long in coming - then, in the summer of 2010, they posted an obituary about Stojkovic on their forum, and in the fall of 2010 they attacked Mustafa, oh, that is, Vladimir, inflicting injuries on him.

In the North, there was also such an uncle:

It would seem that sitting on the fan sector of a Serbian team with a Croatian surname on a T-shirt is not good, but rather even dangerous. At least in Croatia, I definitely would not dare to show up for a sector with a Serbian surname on my back. But the Serbs, firstly, are much less aggressive nationalistically (they are calm nationalists), and secondly, Robert Prosinechki was in the “golden” composition of the Star, with whom the team won the Champions Cup in 1991, and in 2010-2012 he He also headed the coaching staff of the CZ. So in such a T-shirt you can safely go to the derby.

By the beginning of the match, the people still pulled themselves up, it became more pleasant to look at the sectors of the stadium.

And the police helicopter still flew over the Raiko Mitich. Well, the game has started anyway. A viscous struggle was immediately established on the field without an abundance of dangerous moments, and in the North, a shiz began. The same charge of "Delie" was chanted non-stop and sang for 8-10 minutes - "Star, give a goal", "Maracana da l" je puna il "smo mi", "Ajde, game and fight se, ajde" and others. The South was silent. And that's why:

Of course, clashes like those that were before and after the Eternal Derby five, ten, and even more so fifteen years ago - they no longer exist. But blood is shed every year. On June 15, 2017, a fight broke out on the outskirts of Novi Beograd involving more than a hundred Partizan and Red Star fans. The cause of the collision was an attempt by the stars to "kill" the graffiti of Partizan's fans. As usual in the Balkans, it was not without the use of "shit", that is, weapons and improvised means. 18-year-old Demir Yukic was shot in the stomach, another "grobar" was stabbed in the leg. The wounded were taken to a hospital in Zemun, where Demir died on 19 August.
The south was silent for 18 minutes in honor of the 18 years lived by Demir Yukic, then 18 torches were lit on the south stand, and Alkatraz and Zabraneni called "Demir!" - "Yukic!" A banner with the image of the deceased youth was placed on the empty sector that remains to separate the South and East. This sector is clearly visible in the photographs above.
And now, after a few minutes, the graves are already full program got involved in the shit. Even watching football became somehow more fun. The teams went to the break with a dry score, and I asked one of the CZ fans to take a picture of me. It turned out, as usual, not very good:

In the second half in the North it became a little more fire and heat:

Here's a little vid:

By the way, Stojkovic not only became best player match, he also set a record - all of his 8 Eternal Derbies he did not miss a single goal from an opponent (but there was one own goal of Partizan in 2013).

The match ended, the fans began to go home through the same police and gendarmerie cordons.

By the way, repair work is also going on on Liberation Boulevard, and trams do not run there.

Already on the way to my hostel, I came across a peasant putting up posters. My attention was attracted not by the man himself, but by his car - VAZ-2108, old, with short wings and a low panel. I asked a Serb - how, they say, does the car drive? He said that the car is normal, he bought it for 100 euros two years ago, especially for work. Well, the "eight" drives - and it's great.

This is how the third day of my Balkan vacation ended. Thank you for your attention!

You know, I'm not a fan of the Serbian football championship, moreover, I don't know a single person who would follow this tournament. Perhaps I would not know anything about him at all if it were not for the confrontation between the two Belgrade teams - Partizan and Red Star, which is called the Eternal Derby.

Derby Red Star - Partizan

History of confrontation

Now it is difficult to answer the question of what underlies the intransigence of this confrontation. Let's try to figure it out. The year of birth of Partizan is 1945, it was founded by officers of the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia, headed by Josip Broz Tito, the future permanent leader of the state. And the name of the club was in honor of the Yugoslav partisans, so the team can be called the brainchild of the ruling regime.

But the same term can be applied to Red Star - it was founded in the same 1945 on the basis of the decision of the same communist government of the country, only at the origins of the foundation were not the military, but the Union of Socialist Youth of Yugoslavia. For those who grew up in the USSR, I will explain that this association was an analogue of our Komsomol and pioneers, taken together.

True, some consider Red Star to be the successor of the Great Serbia club, founded back in 1913 (later it was renamed Yugoslavia, and then to Sport Club 1913").

But be that as it may, this fact cannot in any way underlie the irreconcilability of the confrontation, where initially there was no social, or, to use the language of the communists, class background.

Rather, everything was much more prosaic - in one city, two strong teams, and the confrontation on the sports grounds quickly moved to a different plane. And then everything was completed by the hot character of the Balkan guys.

Partizan and Red Star matches

I warn you right away - this section is quite small. In this confrontation, football is in second place, after fan clashes. But first, about the titles.

In the coordinate system of Yugoslav football, both clubs occupied leading positions. Even the Croatian clubs Hajduk and Dynamo (Zagreb), who tried to resist them, were far behind in terms of the number of trophies won.

And this is how the comparison of titles looks like (the first figure is the trophies of Red Star Stars).

Yugoslav Championship: 22 - 11.
Yugoslav Cup: 13 - 5.
Serbian Championship: 8 - 16.
Serbian Cup: 12 - 7.

Both clubs once played well in European competition - in 1966, Partizan reached the Champions Cup final, losing there to Real Madrid 2:1. But Red Star in 1991 managed to win the main club trophy of European football, defeating the Marseille Olympic in the final on penalties. Remember that team with the famous attacking trio: Darko Panchev - Dejan Savicevic - Robert Prosinechki?

Another asset of Red Star is reaching the final of the UEFA Cup in 1978-1979, when the team lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The first match between the teams was held on January 5, 1947, with a score of 4: 3 won Red Star. Since then, the teams have played 243 meetings, Crvena Zvezda won 107 times, Partizan won 78 times, 58 matches ended in a draw.

football players

In the history of the derby, there are 19 players who have played for both clubs. How difficult it was for them can be judged by the last “defector”, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic.

The graduate of Red Star Star left for Europe in 2006 and played for the clubs of France, Holland, Spain, Portugal and England, and in 2010 he returned to his homeland, signing a contract ... with Partizan.

After that, an obituary for Stojkovic appeared on the Red Star fan forum, and he himself was attacked by fans. That it happened the day before official match the Serbian national team, no one was embarrassed ...

Record holders for the number of derbies held

Mumchilo Vukotic (Partizan) - 25 matches.
Bora Kostic (Red Star) - 23.
Dragan Dzhaich (Crvena Zvezda) - 21.

Derby Top Scorers

Marko Valok (Partizan) - 13 goals.
Bora Kostic and Dragan Dzhaich (both - Red Star) - 9 each.

After the record holders, I will note a couple more players. Crvena Zvezda player Zivorad Jevtic took part in 10 derbies and his team never lost.

And the goalkeeper of "Partizan" Milutin Shoshkic in the final of the Yugoslav Cup in 1959 managed to reflect two penalties in the post-match series, after which he scored the decisive 11-meter one.

Fans

And, finally, about those thanks to whom the derby between Red Star Star and Partizan became widely known. If the Red Star fans are simply called “stars” (another name is “Delije”, translated as “heroes”), then Partizan fans have a “cute” nickname “grobari”, which means “gravediggers” in Serbian ".

The name stuck due to the fact that the Partizan stadium is located on Belgrade's Humska Street (in Old Serbian, "khumka" means "grave"). However, there is a version that the origins of such a nickname should be sought in the black and white uniform of the club, which resembled the official clothes of cemetery workers.

"Grobari" appeared only at the end of the 80s, but having adopted the English style of fighting (singing, fireworks, scarves, constant sound accompaniment), they quickly declared themselves not only in Yugoslavia, but also in Europe, so much so that their trips became call it a "punitive expedition". However, the "stars", if lagged behind them, then not much.

Riots in the stands, clashes with the police, aggression against football players, fights between fans during, before and after the Partizan and Red Star matches are such an ordinary phenomenon that there is not much to tell here. I will only mention the last deaths- in 1999, a 17-year-old Red Star fan died on the podium from a direct hit by a firecracker, and seven years later in a fight death blow a fan of Partizan received a knife. But the bloodiest fight took place on May 6, 1995 right at the stadium. Then three graves perished.

And four years before that, shortly before the final of the Champions Cup, where Crvena Zvezda went, the fans staged a grand fight right on the field, jumping out there during the match. It was a matter of chance that then there were no casualties.

A truly wild incident occurred in 1991, when a Red Star fan was kidnapped by Partizan fans. The guy was kept in captivity, raped, and then his ear was cut off. Something similar happened in .

Well, in conclusion, I want to note that the fans of both clubs have real leverage on the leadership. So, in 2005, the Grobari, being dissatisfied with the performances of the club, boycotted the match, putting forward the resignation of several people from the club's board as their condition, and achieved their goal.

Unofficially, the Crvena Zvezda stadium is called Marakana. It was on it that in November 1976 a derby attendance record was set - 106 thousand people were present at the match.
As early as the 1950s, foreign referees began to serve the derby.
If the Roma legend is married to a Lazio fan, then in the Eternal Derby this is impossible. One family cannot have fans of different teams.
By the way, the "Eternal Derby" is not only about football. Confrontation takes place in volleyball, basketball and handball.

Every football fan should watch the match between Crvena Zvezda and Partizan at least once in their life. You are unlikely to get pleasure from the game, but it will not be boring. This I promise you.

Eternal derby (Bulgarian. Eternal derby) is a football derby in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, between the local clubs Levski and CSKA, the most successful and popular teams in the country.

The eternal derby, or Belgrade derby (Serb. Vechiti derby; Večiti derbi) is a rivalry between the most popular sports societies in Serbia, Partizan Belgrade and Red Star. The rivalry has become most acute in football. In addition to football, the nature of the derby is the matches of these two teams in volleyball, basketball and handball.

According to a sociological survey conducted in 2007 in Serbia, 50% of respondents supported Red Star and 32% supported Partizan. These two clubs also enjoy a lot of support in Bosnia and Herzegovina (especially Republika Srpska) and Montenegro. Also groups of fans of these teams exist in almost all the republics of the former Yugoslavia.

These matches always attract a lot of attention from the Serbian public. In recent years, the quality of football and the overall level of the Serbian championship have reduced interest in this confrontation. In addition, very often meetings between these two teams contribute to a surge in football hooliganism and violence, causing a decrease in derby attendance. The record attendance for the match "Crvena Zvezda" - "Partizan", recorded at the Belgrade stadium "Crvena Zvezda" - 108,000 spectators.

The Eternal Derby (Croatian Vječni derbi), also known as the Croatian Derby (Croatian Hrvatski derbi), is a Croatian football derby between Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split, the largest and most popular teams in the country.

The rivalry between the two clubs dates back to the 1920s, when Gradjjanski Zagreb often clashed with Hajduk Split in Yugoslav competitions. After the Second World War, Gradzhyanski was disbanded by the authorities, and Dynamo was formed in its place, which inherited the colors of Gradzhyanski. Dynamo and Hajduk soon became part of the Big Four of Yugoslav football, which also included Red Star Belgrade and Partizan. Both Croatian clubs have played consistently in the Yugoslav First League since its inception in 1946. This continued until 1991, when Croatia declared its independence and the teams began to compete in the Croatian First League, the first season of which was played in 1992. Since 1992, Dinamo and Hajduk have won 25 out of 27 Croatian league titles together, as well as 21 out of 27 Croatian Cups, making them by far the most successful clubs in the country.

Due to the different formats used in the Croatian Championship (which currently uses a four-round format) and the Cup (where the winner of the pair is determined by the results of only one match, even in the final), and also because of the possibility of meeting in the Croatian Super Cup, in one season, from four to six matches of the Eternal Derby can be played. Since the first official game in 1946, there have been more than 200 official derbies between Dynamo and Hajduk.

In September 2009, the British edition of the Daily Mail ranked the Croatian Eternal Derby 20th among the 50 greatest football derbies of all time.

Derby (English derby) - sports competition between rivals from the same city or region, in general, these are neighbors' matches. Mostly the use of this term is common in football. IN North America similar competitions are more commonly referred to as crosstown rivalry.

According to the most common version, this word comes from a football game held annually during the Royal Football Shrovetide. The action took place between two parts of the city of Derby in England. Another version is considered to be that the match of football teams from one locality was called a derby, by analogy with a special kind of competition in equestrian sports (see Derby (equestrian sport)). These races were founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780 and were comparable in intensity to modern football derbies. There is another theory that the derby appeared during matches between Liverpool and Everton (now the Merseyside derby). However, this theory is unlikely, as horse racing took place much earlier than Liverpool Football Club was founded.

The word derby is used to refer to a match between two teams from the same city or region. Historically, these matches were accompanied by a great excitement of the audience and were distinguished by their fundamental importance for the players, and, as a result, by great entertainment. "Derby" in European competition can be held with teams from one city or country, matches of this level are usually called "derby" if this does not apply to one city, but only to the country. In this regard, in order to emphasize the intensity of passions, the word derby began to be used incorrectly for football confrontations between two rivals who have been sharing the first or second place in the championship for many years. For example, such as Ajax - Feyenoord are also sometimes incorrectly called a derby, although they are not (in the Netherlands this opposition is called De Klassiker). The term derby is rarely used for matches between national teams, but matches between the countries of Great Britain, the former USSR and other states that were historically part of one are also distinguished by their integrity.

It is noteworthy that the city of Derby does not have its own derby, and there is only one team - Derby County. Previously, there was a derby in the city, the teams Derby County and Derby Midland competed with each other, but later these two clubs were merged. IN this moment Derby County's main rival is Nottingham Forest Football Club from nearby Nottingham.

The Eternal Enemies Derby (Greek: Ντέρμπι των αιωνίων αντιπάλων), also called the Mother of All Battles (Greek: Μητέρα των μαχών), is the Greater Athens football derby between the most successful and titled clubs in Greece, the Piraean Olympiacos """. The sharp and irreconcilable rivalry between the teams and their fans makes this derby a classic throughout Greece and famous throughout the football world.

It is one of 3 Slovenian clubs that have never been relegated from the Premier League since its foundation in 1991 (along with Gorica and Celje). It is considered one of the symbols of Slovenian football, in particular in its native region of Lower Styria in northeastern Slovenia.

Maribor is the most successful club in Slovenia. To his credit: fifteen championship victories, nine in the Cup and four Super Bowls won. The most successful period of the team is considered to be the end of the 1990s - the beginning of the 2000s. Then it was headed by: Bojan Prashnikar, Ivo Shushak and Matyazh Kek. During this time, Maribor was the main force in Slovenian football, winning 7 championships and 3 cups in a row. After the 2008/2009 season, under the mentorship of Darko Milanic, Maribor became the country's leading club for the second time, winning 3 out of 4 championships since then. Moreover, under him the team won 2 Cups and 2 Super Cups. And Milanic became the first coach to win all three national trophies in one season.

"Maribor" played in the first league of Yugoslavia during its existence. He was one of only three Slovenian clubs in the history of this league. The highest achievement of the team during the existence of the SFRY is a victory in the second division. The highest achievement in the Yugoslav Cup is reaching the semi-finals in the 1967/1968 season. In addition, Maribor is the only Slovenian and one of the four clubs of the former SFRY that took part in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.

Maribor's most principled rival is the capital club Olimpia. This confrontation was called the Eternal Derby. The competition with Mura 05 from the city of Murska Sobota in Slovenia is called the North East Derby (Sloven. Severovzhodni derbi). Maribor also has great support from the fans and according to this indicator, the club is the best in Slovenia.

Maribor's home stadium is Ludski vrt, with a capacity of 12,994 spectators. It was built and opened in 1952. Later refurbished in the 1990s and 2000s. The club's academy, which is the best in the country, is responsible for the development of young players, and has made great strides in training promising players. Nicknames of "Maribor": Vijoličasti (Purple), Vijolice (Violets) both symbolize the purple color of the form. Club motto: One club - one honor! (Sloven. En klub, ena čast).

Intercontinental derby (tur. Kıtalararası Derbi) is the name of any football match between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray (the two main Turkish teams from the Asian and European parts of Istanbul, respectively). This confrontation is also known as the Eternal Rivalry (tour. Ezelî Rekabet). Both opponents are also the most successful clubs in the history of Turkish football. This derby has been around for more than a century and has grown into one of the most colorful, uncompromising and often violent derbies in the world, traditionally attracting large crowds and almost equal support from both teams across the country. In September 2009, the British Daily Mail ranked the Fenerbahce-Galatasaray derby as the second of the ten greatest football rivalries of all time.

Partizan Belgrade Football Club (Serb. Fudbalski Club Partizan Beograd) is a Serbian professional football club from Belgrade. The club is the second most successful in Serbia, winning a total of 46 trophies, including 27 national championships, 16 national cups, 1 national super cup, 1 Mitropa Cup, 1 Hours Cup, and is second in the all-time Yugoslav League final standings.
