Sports history of the day. As the fans made a spectacular Cup final between Shakhtar and Dynamo

Let us be honest, the Final of the Cup of Ukraine between Dynamo and the miner seemed extremely boring in football. If you do not take into account a series of a penalty, there were almost no bright moments. The usual draw play. Well, though not zero, which would not be surprised either.

But…

I was at this match and I left all my emotions in Zhytomyr in Zhytomyr. Thinking about the causes, I involuntarily remember the match myself. What was the case that could be so caught?

Atmosphere.

This small cozy stadium, which is unlikely to accept the finale in peaceful times, was a battle killed by fans. To just go, I had to wait 20 minutes. And about getting to your place, I am silent in general. And this is strange, because a few hours before the starting whistle there was no hint of the classic Cup in the finale. Only single fans with club symbols, scattered with streets.

But here is a sell -out. Ukraine missed it, and I too. You know, teams cannot always publish a spectacular match, but fans can make any game spectacular.

Dynamo ultras – Surkis’s criticism I spent the first half in the Dynamo Ultras sector. And how they charged. All 45 minutes of continuous support for your favorite club, despite everything that is happening on the field. On the opposite side of the stadium – Shakhtar ultras. And it was noticeable how the Kiev fans dominated their fan field.

Actually, this domination only increased after Andrei Yarmolenko’s goal. A minute before he looked at a time and said to his friend: “42 minutes, Yarmolenko usually scores at this time.” And so he involves the gate grid, behind which I sit and dozens of fans.

How I missed the fires … It was the atmosphere for which I loved football. Crazy joy and incredible support. In the first 45 minutes, it was all: the critic of Surkis: “Surkisi – Dynamo Shame”, “Surkis Pi *** AU”, and the support of Dynamo legends: “Yarmola”, “Always the first Sasha Shovkovsky”, and songs about Putin, and glorification of the Armed Forces.

Well, after the break everything has changed dramatically. Of course, the miner’s goal was influenced by this, but the second half won the ultras of the Pitmen. What is confident. It is symbolic that the teams showed exactly the same results: the first half according to Dynamo, the second – according to the miner.

Shakhtar ultras – burning Russia and DNR It should be understood that the ultras of the Pitmen took the initiative not with a whistle in the second half. They first rolled. But when the first clashes between the players went when the judge “swam”, then the “orange-black” sector came to the fore.

And in a few minutes the players heard them and restored parity in the meeting.

The miners and fans of the Miners also ignited the Fair. And soon the best performance of the finals happened: fans of Donetsk miner burned the flags of Russia and the so -called DPR.

In addition, the ultras of “Miners” played an important role in the final result, because it was on the “their” gate that a penalty fought (on the gate, near which the fans of Shakhtar sat). And it was the “their” gates that brought the Shakhtar Cup.

“I am very pleased to see a lot of people at the stadium. For this we play football. These were fantastic emotions! It is incredibly seeing our fans cheering for us and marrying forward. This is what we really miss. And it was a fantastic experience.

Yes, the fact that we punched the penalty at our own fans could have been an advantage, but not necessarily – you never know. The whole thing is, how you perform a penalty. But I felt good energy before we punched the penalty, ” – says miner Marino Pushich coach.

Aggressive Dynamo, “white-blue” Zhytomyr Already before the overtime opposite both ultras were lined up police, and here it became a significant difference in the mood of the fans. Donetsk did not respond and continued to support the team, but the people of Kiev did not like it.

There were also the fans, and the Faki, the police were sent, called, and for the greater “effect” the Musora So ** was shouted. The Miners, opposite, shouted “Donetsk is Ukraine” and “Yuzovka”.

Different moods, different approaches. But they were always different. The main decoration of Ukrainian football is fans. And I remind them of almost 6 thousand! And interestingly, the whole stadium supported the capital Grand, except for one island where Shakhtar ultras was.

This was especially noticeable when fans were charging Di-on-Mu-Mo-ons directly near the Miners sector and received a dissatisfied hum from the ultras. And it happened quite often.

However, Shakhtar’s defender Valery Bondar disagrees: “For my feelings, they cheered for Shakhtar. I heard our supporters. I thank both our ultras and those who came to the stadium and just fans.

And one important problem cannot be ignored. Russian exclamations, on both sides. Yes, they were much smaller, yes, most of the screams are now in Ukrainian. But. Is it still necessary to use Russian exclamations? Why is it? The question is rhetorical.

***

I noticed that I said almost nothing about the match myself? Because it is not required. If I looked at the same game, only two years ago, it would be extremely disappointed. But this evening I enjoyed.

Because fans …

I sincerely hope that such an atmosphere will be dominated not only at the Cup of Ukraine, not only in Ukrainian classical and not only in Zhytomyr. But you need to work with fans, attract them, support them.

To do this, you need to review the rules for admission of fans. Because why can 16,000 people be allowed at the Claudia Petrovna concert at the Petrovna Concert, and no on the UPL match? Turn the fans to the stadiums, and then the UPL will return to the season 2013/14 season. At least by emotions …
