Red Star 199 1 lights up Europe, and the team lineup is brilliant, not inferior to Milan, Real Madrid and Marseille. The players are bold and daring, but they are cynical and full of bandits. If the political situation in the Balkans hadn't changed suddenly, Red Star would have gone down in history like Ajax, Real Madrid, Bayern and Milan, but that year's final ended 0-0 like Bucharest and Barcelona five years ago, which was the ugliest final in the history of the Champions League. ...
When enumerating the great dynasties and teams in European football, people have never mentioned the champion Belgrade Red Star of 199 1. They were forgotten by football.
The red star used to be a powerful force. Before its golden age began, it collapsed because of political turmoil, and they had no chance to clear their names. 9 1 Champions League final, the performance of Red Star made those 90 minutes the most depressing moment in history. The most utilitarian tactician can't agree that Red Star won the Marseille Cup by penalty kick. The confrontation on the field was rough and dirty, and both sides turned what should have been a solemn and noble duel into a war of attrition because of their cowardice in playing and paranoia in winning the championship.
It is undoubtedly unfair to judge the red star only in the final. The Red Star is indeed a formidable force. Technically, no one in Europe can beat it. They are typical representatives of Balkan football-luxurious and exquisite in technology, but they also have cynical riffraff habits.
It's a pity that Red Star broke up prematurely. Under the double pressure of EU sanctions and Eastern European clubs, Red Star was split and sold in retail. At that time, the domestic situation in Yugoslavia was too bad for Red Star to continue. Goalkeeper and captain Dejan Stojanovic went to Antwerp, Proseneski went to Real Madrid, right winger Binic went to Sparta Prague, central defender Malovic joined Norchepin in Sweden, and Jugovic, mikhailovich and savicevic all went to Italy to join Sampdoria, Rome and AC Milan respectively.
With the rapid deterioration of the defending season and the "home" of Budapest and Sofia, Red Star could have reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, provided that it scored 1 in the last "home" match against Sampdoria in the group stage. However, the reality is ruthless. The Italian champion broke through with a 3-/kloc-0-0 victory, and finally reached the final, reversing all the way at Wembley and Barcelona.
If a goal can define a team, the self-determination moment of Red Star will appear in the semi-final of 199 1, and the first leg will challenge Bayern Munich away. That is a well-known classic event, and from the present point of view, it is even more unusual. In the game, both sides' tackles were extremely ruthless, but the referee was always indifferent and motionless. In the past 10 years, FIFA has made great achievements in cracking down on rough fouls on the field, but this Munich semi-final is still a classic example of beauty defeating cruelty. It is so difficult to win the game that it is no wonder that Red Star regards victory as nirvana.
In the 23rd minute, Bayern was first won by center Vol. Faget. In the first half stoppage time, Bayern's German international Dunplug a direct pass through the seam to laudrup Jr., and Xiao Lao was half a beat slow. The ball was intercepted by Red Star centre-back Malovic (nicknamed "Butcher", who kept kicking and punching Xiao Lao in the game). Although he was in the square near the corner flag, he calmly passed the ball to right-back Raznovich.
Prats glanced at the frontcourt and an accurate 60-yard pass released Binic. Binic quickly passed the opponent's left-back Pflugler and made a ground pass. The ball passed between the opposing central defender Kohler and goalkeeper Oman and landed in front of Pan Caifu at the far post. He achieved 1 to 1 in one fell swoop.
This is the target of lightning, too fast to prevent. Many of Red Star's goals were scored in this way. The team resolutely defended and counterattacked, and always played this specialty.
Binic is 42 years old. He smokes a lot. When it comes to politics, he is very silent. But once the topic turns to how awesome he was, he can talk for an hour without punctuation: "I am the fastest in Yugoslavia, or the fastest in Europe. No one in Yugoslavia can catch up now. I can dump the British players in any 100 meter race, regardless of their physical fitness. Although I started smoking three years ago, everyone knows that I am fast. It only takes me 100 meter 10.5 second. Once, a newspaper held a public performance. I competed with a domestic sprinter. I wear boots and he wears spikes. I was faster than him from the start to the 70th meter, and then he passed me. But who needs to run 100 meters to play football? When carl lewis comes to Barcelona, I want to compete with him! "
When Pflugler saw him, it was really impossible not to call his mother.
With the further development of the competition, the strangulation between the two sides became more and more concentrated near the middle circle, and it became a struggle between Proshchin Nietzky and Finberg, but the initiative gradually fell into the hands of the former.
The game decided the whole situation 22 minutes before the end, which was a fateful minute. Pflugler assisted on the left and chased the straight ball sent by Finberg, but his cross was met behind the goal. It looks as if Baird Teach touched the ball with his hand while diving to save it. Bayern shouted "penalty!" However, Swiss referee Forstinger ruled that the ball hit Bayes' chest, and the slow-motion playback also proved his sharp eyes. Forstinger points to the corner kick.
The corner kick came, and Ogenthal jumped up and headed the ball to Reuters. Reuters did it overnight, but Forster blew the whistle early and punished Ogenthal for pushing a foul during the take-off. Bayern was bombed by this, and the formation began to be disordered. Finberg conceded the ball in the frontcourt, Belodzic cleared the ball with a big foot, and Pan Caifu got the ball. He hit the ball to savicevic, who passed Kohler easily. Although the ball jumped a little on the edge of the penalty area, he still volleyed the ball into Oman's left-hand post.
With 20 minutes left, German fans began to leave. The Germans never gave in at the last minute without fighting, but the audience understood that Red Star not only led the score, but also led everywhere on the field. Germans in every region can't beat Red Star. Bender (Bayern left midfielder) later admitted that he had never tried such a difficult opponent as Binic in his life.
This result is a big surprise. Yugoslavia has not entered the semi-finals of any European competition for more than 20 years. How many people think Red Star is great, and how many have lost? When Red Star arrived in Munich, no one was optimistic. Savicevic thought they didn't play well in the previous rounds. Bayern players are much more famous than their opponents, but it is not known how much they know about their opponents. The average age of the two sides is average, and there will not be much contrast in experience and quality. This is a close game.
Savicevic may be too hard on his team's performance in the previous rounds. Of course, the first round and the first round at home are not ideal. 1 The draw with Swiss champion Cao Meng and left-back mikhailovich spent the game in the stands before joining Red Star. Red Star fought a beautiful annihilation battle in the second round in Zurich, defeating its opponent 4-/kloc-0. In the second round, I met a tramp in Grasse, and Red Star won 3-0 at home in Maracana (at that time, the tramp coach Souness asked his assistant walter smith to spy on the military situation, and Smith watched the other team's game and sent back a telegram: We are finished! ), away 1 draw 1. The Scots knew that Binic was fast and wanted to kill, but they could never catch up. In the third round against Dynamo in Dresden, East Germany, mikhailovich joined from Viyov Ding Na and won 3-0 at home.
Mikhailovich has been in Serie A for more than ten years, and Lian Po is getting old. Such a battle-hardened veteran, when he played for Red Star for the first time, was also stunned by the hot atmosphere of Maracana Stadium: "Before the game, you can feel the shock caused by the noise in the stadium by leaning against the wall and holding your hand against the reinforced concrete wall. I said to myself,' Look, Sinisa, don't stay in Novi Sad and live a quiet life. "Why did you come here to suffer this?" "The away game is worse than this. After Red Star 2- 1 took the lead, riots broke out in the stands and the game was forced to be halved. UEFA awarded Red Star a 3-0 victory.
Since 1980, ethnic conflicts in Yugoslavia have intensified and there have been frequent conflicts in the stands. Many people believe that1a game in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, in May 1990 eventually led to a full-scale civil war.
During the match, Red Star fans organized "Great Boys" and "Blue Bad Boys"-die-hard fans of Dinamo Zagreb-to fight in the stands of maximilian Stadium. This fight is so classic that it is impossible to find out who is the culprit. Bo Ban, 2 1 year-old, became a national hero overnight. He didn't do anything earth-shattering, but when he saw a Serbian policeman beating a Croatian fan, he flew up and kicked the policeman to the ground.
As the war approaches, football can not only distract attention, but also make people proud, which is even more important at this time. Since we can win the second leg of Bayern and Belgrade away from home, Red Star firmly believes that we can win Bayern again. This confidence was strengthened in the middle of the first half. Mikhailovich shoots a free kick from 30 yards away, and the ball crosses Oman's net and hits the wall. The total score of Red Star is 2- 1 (Michaelis did it again in the 1998 World Cup against Germany. Coincidentally, the game is also 2-2).
However, the seven main players of Red Star have all won the cards. If they are warned again, some people will miss the final. The home team's defense is no longer so tough. The red star player looks at the referee nervously every time he fouls. The more they kick the game, the more timid they become, and the confrontation is not as fierce as usual. Bayern saw that the other side was afraid, came up in the second half and pulled back two goals in four minutes.
Ogenthal scored a point and the ball jumped below Dejan Stojanovic. This is a mistake. The Germans fought for every inch of land, and Bender suddenly scored 2- 1. The total score was 3-3, and both sides scored two away goals. The semi-finals are slipping away from the fingers of Red Star.
The Red Star struggled in adversity, and the Germans hit the post again. At the last minute, Red Star fought back. Mikhailovich crosses from the left, Binic waits in the middle and Pan Caifu is behind him. But he doesn't pass the ball well and the ball speed is very slow. Ogenthal swung his foot to clear the gap and kicked the ball out. The ball whirled back, flew over the helpless Oman and slowly fell into the net.
Luck is too important. Just then, the god of luck took a fancy to the red star. Bayern didn't even have enough time to kick off. The final whistle sounded and the audience flocked to the stadium. In less than two hours, the turf was stripped, and every fan took a piece as a souvenir. The turf of that stadium is all over the country. Even 500 kilometers away from Belgrade, you can see them carefully maintaining it in their own backyard.
In the other semi-final, Marseille easily defeated Spartak Moscow with Papan, Vader and Polly. But what worries Red Star is another "Red Star" who once fought side by side with them-dragan stojkovic.
Stojkovic didn't play much that season because of frequent injuries and falling out with Marseille coach Gautard. In the eyes of Red Star, he is the real "star", a leader and the biggest red star, even bigger than cruyff, Platini and Pushkash, if he is not trapped by injuries.
Even Platini was ashamed of himself: "His brain is turning too fast." Stojkovic left Red Star after personally destroying Spain in the 1990 World Cup. At the kind invitation of Longfei, he turned down Juventus, Barcelona and AC Milan and joined Marseille. But Red Star thinks stojkovic is a substitute at best.
Marseille has an extremely luxurious lineup and is naturally popular. Red Star studied all the videos of their Champions League matches, and found that their opponents always took defense. Through Vader's quick breakthrough, Papan finished the final blow. So Red Star also played a defensive counterattack, which runs counter to the team's style. People like savicevic, Binic, Pan Caifu and Proshchin Nietzky, of course, played much more actively.
However, Red Star chooses to "know people well and treat others as yourself". Head coach Petcovici gave the players two choices: playing well but eventually losing; Or not playing well but winning the championship. The contestants decided to win first. During the game, Marseille enjoyed a lot of possession time and kept hanging the ball into the penalty area from the backcourt. Red Star goalkeeper Dejan Stojanovic suddenly relaxed. He is very tall, and he seldom misses the chance to catch a high ball.
The game was ugly, but Red Star's tactics were successful. Western media criticized Red Star for being passive in the competition, which made Marseille helpless, but Marseille's play that night was actually just as negative and depressing. With rich experience, they wisely refused to let Red Star play. Petcovici later said that it was the worst game Red Star played under him.
With 8 minutes left in overtime, Gautard replaced stojkovic, who dribbled several dribbles and immediately made Red Star's defense. Binic was glad that stojkovic didn't play earlier: "He is the godfather of my children. I really didn't want to see him on the court that night. If Marseille let him play in the second half, maybe Marseille will win. "
After 120 minutes of downsizing, the winner was decided by penalty. Marseille doesn't know that every player on the Red Star team is a veteran of penalty kicks. In that season's Yugoslav League, penalties were taken for every draw. Every red star player practices penalty at least 10 to 15 minutes every day. Before the game, Petcovici arranged the penalty takers: first, Binic, second, Prosinetsky, third, Bellodi, then mikhailovich and finally Pan Caifu.
When actually taking the penalty, Red Star only made one change: Proshchin Nietzky volunteered to take the penalty first. He looks a little nervous and doesn't want to do anything against him halfway. Although the run-up was a bit slow, he tricked the opposing goalkeeper Olmeta into running in the opposite direction.
Gautard asked stojkovic to send the first penalty, and the latter refused: "If you don't give me a chance to prove myself in the whole game, why should I carry this burden at the last minute?" You will be scolded if you can't get in. I'm not happy to be admitted, and I'm not happy to be admitted. "Marseille's right-back Amoros, a French international in the 82nd and 86th World Cups, took the lead in taking the penalty.
At this time, stojanovic started a psychological war with his opponent, actively instructing Marseille players in which direction to play. His confidence affected Amoros. He looked at Dejan Stojanovic, then at the ball, and ran up slowly, but the Yugoslavs were unmoved. He saw Amoros's melancholy, and the ball was shot neither too fast nor too low, just as the goalkeeper wanted, and the penalty was saved. It's Binic's turn. Every time he makes a free throw, he always shoots to the lower left of the goalkeeper. He's not sure about the other angles. Whether the goalkeeper guessed right or not, they still couldn't save it. The ball was too fast and he scored.
Casoni from Marseille also attended. Belotic walked to the penalty spot. He once won the championship for Bucharest Star Team in the penalty shoot-out in the Champions League final of 1986, and he will win the cup for another non-Western European team in the same way. Interestingly, after winning the cup twice, his name was different.
In Romanian, the word "I" in his surname "Belodedici" is silent and put at the end to weaken the letter "C". In Belgrade, he chose the more Serbian spelling habit "Belodedici". He fled to Romania to seek political asylum. 1989 After ceausescu stepped down, he returned to Belgrade and went directly to Red Star's office to ask for a trial.
Of course, the trial was excused. Bellodi made a free throw and Red Star led 3-0/kloc. Papan scored the second penalty for Marseille with a wild kick. Mikhailovich played badly when he took the penalty, and dug up the turf with one foot, but he still scored. Marseille's fourth penalty was Brazil's 90 World Cup international mozer, who also played well. If Pan Caifu takes a penalty, the Champions League will be Red Star.
He put the ball on the penalty spot, but it rolled into the hole in the grass scooped up by mikhailovich. He let it go again and the ball rolled in again. His teammates looked so anxious that they finally put it back in place for the third time. But he didn't punish well. This height is the goalkeeper's favorite waist position. Fortunately, Olmeta's center of gravity has shifted. Although I jumped, I still couldn't go back to heaven. Italy's Bari and Belgrade suddenly became a sea of jubilation.
Binic was not surprised at all. Before each round of competition, he wrote articles in domestic newspapers to predict the results, which was accurate every time. Before the final, Sports director Dzadzic of the club asked him what he thought. He said that Red Star would win the Cup on penalties, and he also made a request: if the prediction is accurate, he will be allowed to keep the Champions League for seven days. Dzajic broke his word. During those seven days, Binic traveled all over Serbia with the Champions League and went to remote villages to receive praise and congratulations. He took it with him when he went to restaurants, and even went in and out of the noisy bars in Belgrade: "This is the most glorious moment in the history of Yugoslav football, and all Serbs are deeply proud of it."
At that time, the Yugoslav civil war was like a dark cloud. As a Serb, Binic instinctively confused Yugoslavia with Serbia, but others didn't think so. The "gang boys" became extremely active nationalists, and many of the militia of Serb warlord Alcan were recruited from the "gang boys". The ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the civil war was the masterpiece of "gang boys".
Seven months later, Red Star beat Kolokolo of Chile in the Toyota Cup (savicevic was sent off). In Belgrade's Maracana Stadium, the celebration turned into a fanatical demonstration by Serbs. As a guest of this celebration, Alcan waved a street sign stolen from Croatia, which made people crazy. This great Serbian complex continues. Even after the war, only Serbia and Montenegro remained in Yugoslavia. Every time Yugoslavia plays an international match in Maracana, the "great guys" boo the Yugoslav national anthem. They roared Serbian folk songs and vowed to drown the national anthem.
However, the red star in 199 1 is marked with "Pan-Yugoslavia". Prosinetsky is Croatian. He refused to say that there were political gangs in the club and thought that athletes should not be tools and victims of political struggle. Binic also said that Croats want Red Star to win the trophy because of Proshchin Nietzky. The ethnic composition of Red Star is also very complicated. Savannah Zevic is a Muslim, Malovic and savicevic are Montenegrins, Pan Caifu is Macedonian, and only Belodzic is not Yugoslav, but he is of Serbian descent. Ironically, the Red Star, which represents the Yugoslav Federation, has become a nationalist accomplice to split and destroy Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia collapsed and the Red Star ceased to exist. Only Belgrade guerrillas have reached the Champions League recently, but compared with Red Star, they are far from it.
