Fan blog of Partizan Sports Society (JSD Partizan) in Belgrade, Serbia. Football, basketball, volleyball, handball, ice hockey, water polo, news, players, all that are a matter of curiousity.
A subjective blog. English is not my mother tongue.

The Olympic Games start next week. Everyone will be there, all those who matter (and those, too, who don't) and the world will spin around Rio for two weeks.
Partizan's athletes will be there, too. A group of them departed to Rio just now.
Among them there are the athletes of Partizan Rowing Club (Veslački Klub Partizan) Nenad Beđik and Miloš Vasić (coxless pair)
...as well as Andrija Šljukić and Marko Marjanović (double scull)
Andrea Arsović (left), athlete of Partizan Shooting Club (Streljački Klub Partizan) in 10 m air rifle and 50 m rifle in 3 positions
The entire male basketball team, incl. Milan Mačvan and Bogdan Bogdanović (if you take a good look, you can also find the beard of Miroslav Raduljica as well on the picture)
The male water polo team - you can find there Miloš Ćuk, Filip Filipović, Nikola Jakšić and Dušan Mandić
Filip Filipović saying goodbye to his family before the departure
Dušan Mandić was probably asked to watch the suitcases while the others go for a coffee (behind him is Dejan Savić, head coach of the Serbian water polo team)
They will be joined by the 3 athletes of Partizan Athletic Club (Atletski Klub Partizan): Milan Ristić (110 m hurdles), Anđelko Rističević (marathon), Vladimir Savanović (50 km walk) and Asmir Kolašinac (shot put). Cyclist Ivan Stević will also be there, former athlete of Partizan Cycling Club (Biciklistički Klub Partizan) in individual road race. Velimir "Velja" Stjepanović from Partizan Swimming Club (Plivački Klub Partizan) in 100, 200 and 400 m freestyle. And of course there will be Ana Ivanović and Nenad Zimonjić, who started their tennis career at Teniski Klub Partizan.
We will also root for tennis player Viktor Troicki and tae-kwon-do fighter Milica Mandić, because they also root for Partizan every time.
Vladimir "Vladica" Kovačević, former striker of FK Partizan and the Yugoslav national team, member of the great "generation ’66" has passed away today in Belgrade. He was 76 years old.

This weekend Partizan will play against Napredak at an away game. Today is Tuesday, and today the pitch in Napredak's stadium looks like this:

Since the start of the season
I'm trying hard to express myself in a decent way, I'm seriously trying hard...
we have been facing different challenges and even though we work hard, the solution is still out of sight.
Was it okay? It's really my best, I couldn't have been any more diplomatic.
So I suggest that instead of football the entire team (including the coaching staff as well as the management, together with that fathead Vazura and drug junkie Iliev) should plough the entire pitch with their bare hands and plant potatoes there. This activity would surely bring some benefits for humankind (unlike the way they play).
Don't ever think that I feel good while mocking the team. I'd very very much like to write about victories, exciting games, talented players, winner and committed attitude. But I can't. I can't write about something that doesn't exist... I'm angry, bitter and completely fed up with the shameless cynicism of the management as well as with this bunch of posers, of whom none deserves the jersey of Partizan and who spit the club and the fans in the face every single day. And I'm very much afraid it's still not the lowest point.
What the fuck was this?...
Scandalous. Shame. Anti-football. A bunch of impotent, talentless idiots fumbling around for 90 minutes. Seriously, it would have been better if the entire team (incl. coaches and staff) go out to the city to hunt for Pokémons instead of this crap.
More than 30 minutes passed when we could send the ball to the target for the first time. In the meantime Bačka had numerous attempts, they were courageous, they attacked - and they did it well. They at least played football... In the 9th minute Bjeloš hit the crossbar at the end of a quite cool attack. Šaranov again had Lady Luck on his side...
I wished I could kick more than one Partizan-players right in the ass (for their great luck I was more than far away from the Novi Sad stadium...). I don’t know how Radović could make it to avoid touching the ball for 45 minutes. Gogoua was a pile of misery, he again lost the ball near our penalty area and it almost ended up with a dangerous situation (finally Šaranov saved, but it was a cardial-arrest-situation). While Milenković’s ball control, well, needs a bit of improvement. (With other words, the defender's only activity was kicking the ball as far away as possible. Direction didn't matter.)
And we didn’t attack.
WE DIDN’T ATTACK.
We were impotent. We were fumbling. Like a horde of pensioners. It’s impossible, for fuck’s sake! It can happen only in the 5th league, and even there it is allowed to happen only when half of the team still have hungover after the previous night’s party. But you are professionals, for fuck’s sake, this is what you make your living of!!! Go and live from hoeing on the cornfields, all of you!
Meanwhile Bačka had attempts. Not too many, but compared to what we made as "football" they played with determination and heart. Finally in the 31st minute that magical moment came when we could first push the ball to the direction of the goal line
it would be an exaggeration to call it "attempt"...
after a corner kick Bačka’s defenders kicked the ball downfield, but Đurđić could somehow send it back to the goalmouth. There Radović... well, Radović kicked big. No, not into the ball. Into the air instead. While the ball rolled out of the baseline. I’m sure it was crying while rolling out.
Raging Partizan-fans were chanting louder and louder. First it was "igrajte fudbal" (approx. "come on and play football), then in the 40th minute they were singing Saša Ilić’s name. At the half time whistle they started to throw hisses and curses on the team so much that Brašanac had to go to the tribune to calm them down.
Honestly, a lot of people, who love Partizan spent their money and free time to watch this shit. Not to mention all the crap from the past weeks/months... Who wouldn’t be angry while being in their shoes?...
Partizan started the second half with double substitution. Mihajlović came off (he was like his own shadow for the whole first half) and finally Saša Ilić entered the game. Miroslav "Pensioner" Radović was also substituted by that Leonardo, who was introduced with huge media attention.
Let’s clear a few things here.
I don’t know which one was worse, Radović or Leonardo. The Brazilian picked a quarrel with the opponent’s players at the very first minute, while his alleged football knowledge was surely confiscated at the Serbian border.
No need to embellish the story: Leonardo showed the image of a talentless idiot mixed with a primitive asshole at this game. What an amazing pair he'll make with the other Brazilian jerk, Everton. I can already envision them to have a nice collection of yellow and red cards and they have a quasi-competition on who have more.
Leonardo - his only function was to complete the obligatory number of 11 players on the field
(photo: hotsport.rs)
The only slightly questionnable situation was in the 49th minute, when Brašanac was thwarted at Bačka’s penalty area. The referee gave a free kick for Partizan. Some complained for penalty kick, but the truth is (the slow motion replay showed it clear-cut) that the foul happened outside the penalty area line. Yet I have to admit, Brašanac performed a fantastic trajectory path while falling inside the penalty area. Leonardo came to do the free kick with a Hollywood-style entry. He ran up and gave a full-force kick to the ball - which then hit the wall.
He made it again a few more times. He did all the free kicks and screwed up all of them. I started to see why Anzhi kicked him out of the team...
The 70th minute brought the biggest Partizan-chance
missed out...
Brašanac got the ball and kicked it into the goalkeeper from 2 steps. The ball dropped to Đuričković, who shot from the goalmouth, but it was too wide.
Not as if we had deserved to score, based on the image of the game we performed. Not to mention a possible victory... Then the lowest point came for us when Bojan Ostojić on the bench got a yellow card for complaining loudly. The team is improving morally, isn’t it, Ivica?...
Then, when in the 74th minute Đuričković was substituted by Bojinov, I almost turned off the stream. It’s the impossible of impossibles. It just can’t be. Shit for crap. This substitution was probably the most perfect cross-section of today’s Partizan.
During the remaining 15 minutes Bojinov - better to be safe than sorry - missed out a few chances, then Bjeloš got his second yellow card, which automatically brought him the red one. He clashed with Everton at our penalty area line, he even fell, but the referee decided that he was just a counterfeit by him.
In the last 5 minutes we desperately tried to attack, with absolutely no result.
And here I take a deep breath and say it out loud: congratulations to Bačka to gain 1 point from this game. They deserved it. This was their first ever game in the superliga, they got the top gun team right in the first round and they didn’t shit their pants, they played, attacked, tackled and they were enthusiastic.
They were at least playing...

Catastrophal defeat yesterday, flood of idiotism today. Iliev, Vazura and the whole gang overtook the forever-ready-for-some-gossip press and loaded a pile of shit to the by default angry and bitter fans. Iliev told to Mozzartsport (you can read it here if you want...) that
The management is not responsible for the defeat. They did all they could to support the team. They tried to live up to expectations on every field. In my opinion they are innocent. They never caught up in the business part, they always had a positive attitude and ensured excellent circumstances for the team. That's how it should be. Well, unfortunately we had no luck.
Wait, wait, it's still not the end. Here comes the self-polishing. I still take responsibility for my work. I'm expected to give the maximum, so I give the maximum. [...] And again I repeat, we did not lose, we just couldn't qualify.
Yea. Sure. You are not mental either, you just ran out of your medicines, right?...
Afterwards the Fantastic Sports Director told that the management still supports the head coach. Our team is continuously improving, technically, physically and morally.
Don't laugh!...
In the past six months Ivan achieved everything a head coach can achieve, he won the Cup, he finished on the second place of the championship. Now he had an excellent preparation with the team, we could see the result at the first match against the Poles.
Yea, fucktard, absolutely. We did. The problem is that it should have been seen on the second game, you sicko. We can stick the first match right up into our ass.
Unfortunately we are hostages of the final result.
Yes. It did get released like this, publicly. "Nažalost, taoci smo rezultata." He did say this, he had the courage to speak like this. FUCK YOU, ILIEV! GET OUT OF PARTIZAN, NEVER EVER COME NEARBY EVER IN YOUR LIFE! You fucking, mentally retarded Vazura-servant, you can thank your guardian angel if your head won't be torn off by angry fans! (Yet you'd deserve it...)
The best is yet to come.
Vazura threw this up from himself, to the press. I repeat, Europe is not a priority.
Yes. He said that. Europe is not a priority. I put the screenshot here, it's from mondo.rs, you can see it in its original form here, just click.
Take that.

It hurts, said Nemanja Mihajlović, one of the tragic heroes of the game according to mondo.rs. I think we were better on both games, but it seems it’s not always enough. We knew we were better but we couldn’t show it on the field.
Son,
I find you a very talented youngster, but the sad truth is that you were all crap. You were fucking not better. Do you know what would have been, if you had really been better? YOU’D HAVE SCORED GOALS, GOALS!!! Not one, not just two, but many!
And now it’s time for superliga. Maybe we can score a few against Bačka Palanka and Napredak. Maybe.
Well done.
We're fucked by the Poles big time. The world champion, CL-win aspirant Zaglebie Lubin
please, see the irony in it, thank you
labeled Partizan with the "rinky dink" price tag on the European football market. And let's be honest: for 210 minutes we could not score one single goal against them, because we played a brutally low level, soulless game.
It was especially a low blow after those bumptious, stuck-up statements for the press before the match. 'We came to Lublin to win', 'Partizan is the better team', 'we have optimistic expectations', blah blah blah.
Let's start it by making a few important things clear.
ILIEV OUT!!!
VAZURA OUT!!!
VUČELIĆ OUT!!!
VULETIĆ OUT!!!
Ivan Tomić must immediately resign if he still has a little bit of self-respect.
As for these so-called "players", ALL of them must hand down their shirts and jerseys NOW at the team ordnance and all of them continue their career as ditchers. None of you deserve to wear Partizan's jersey, you soulless, talentless fakers!!!
And hereby I declare, that the Polish team did deserve to qualify to the next round. We can thank only to goddess Fortuna that they didn't beat the hell out of us in regular time.
That Zaglebie we saw in Belgrade, that played monotonous, boring bunker football was gone. Instead there was an aggressive, ballsy, fearless Zaglebie on the field, of where the players knew very well what they wanted and how they could achieve it. Apart from a few minutes here and there they kept control in their hands for the whole game. Partizan had no time to pass the ball around or think things over, because Poles instantly tackled them and attacked.
The starting eleven was the same as for the previous game. I bet the tactics were also the same...
Radović freaked me out not just once. He was the weakest link of the team. He was mentioned a couple of times at the beginning, but even those were about how much he was fumbling. Then he stayed invisible until he was substituted (why did that happen so late?...).
Who brought him here and why? A League 5 veterans’ game has more fire and excitement than him. Even Babović was better.
Babović is a Matthäus compared to him...
The Polish team didn’t waste their time. They attacked, ran, had target shots, when either Šaranov had to perform big saves or they missed the target just with a few centimetres. As for us, all we had was Đurđić getting injured on his head after a clash. After he started to bleed, he got a turban made from gauze on his head. That was the mark to show that he is (still) on the field, because he made absolutely no other impression at all.
In the second half Mihajlović had a few moments that are worth to mention.
The truth is that our FIRST attempt was in the 82th minute. It was a 20-metre cannon shoot by Mihajlović.
IN THE 82TH MINUTE.
Our first actual attempt on a competitive game happens in the 82th minute, only 3 days before the superliga starts.
Dissolve the team now. Get out of the pro league, everybody, NOW, and go to the amateur league. We have nothing to do among professionals.
It's a joke. Nothing more.
Nemanja Mihajlović
And then Radović was about to receive a pass, but instead he did the splits down to the grass, like an over-aged ballerina, in the middle of nowhere, being all alone. Nobody was around him. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, TELL ME IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!
Then came 30 more minutes of this struggle.
Here came the first positive moment, because Saša Ilić joined the game after a long time (substituting Radović). We immediately had a chance afterwards, Brašanac missed it out.
I swear, after a while I was begging for one goal. One single goal. It didn’t even matter to me who scores it, just make this shit end and let’s go back home.
They didn’t score.
Kubicki missed out an attempt, then Vlahović couldn’t find the target (Brašanac had a shot from the left, but his attempt was saved by the goalkeeper. He couldn’t grab the ball, it dropped to Partizan’s young striker, but he missed it out as well.)
Penalty shootout.
First came Brašanac. He shot it too high. 0:0
Then came Janus, he scored. 1:0
Next Saša Ilić. Calm and professional, as always. 1:1
Guldan. Easily. 2:1
Đuričković. Him too. 2:2
Todorovski. Šaranov saved it!!! 2:2
Janković. 2:3
Wozniak. 3:3
Mihajlović. He missed it!... He shot, the goalkeeper could touch it and pushed it to the goalpost. 3:3...
Last man. Vlasko. He ran up... and scored.
4:3
The end. Goodbye, Europe.
You can watch the penalty shootout here. At the end Janković collapsed :(
Ivan Bandalovski has officially left Partizan. The defender said farewell to the team and the fans on Instagram.
"Today is one of the most difficult days in my life. I spent one and a half wonderful years at my beloved team, where I focused all my energies to the field, I gave all my might to every kick, every goal and every point achieved. I'm proud to win the League and the Serbian Cup with these boys, to play in European competitions. I'll never forget these, nor will I forget the applause and support of the Southern Tribune! I'm proud of every moment I spent on the field in front of the Grave Diggers. Life is unpredictable and you have to be ready for a new journey. My suitcases will be full of love for Partizan and with the most beautiful memories. It's not a final goodbye, just a greeting, because for me you are the greatest fans in the world! Forward, Partizan, til victory!"
Thank you very much for everything, Bandalinho! All the best!
Internet provides you wondrous things. You just connect, go through the news headlines and you can see miracles bigger than any Harry Potter-stuff. I'm not sure though if that's the best timing for them, just a few days before the start of the superliga, when we are about to play the return match against Zaglebie, especially after the first game that didn't really went the way we wanted to say the least.
As we could find out from the news stream, freshly signed Brazilian midfielder Leonardo will not play at the return match against the Poles. He didn't play at the first game either, and it very much seems so that he won't play any games in the near future. The reason (according to mondo.rs) is that Leonardo is out of physical shape so much that he couldn't be able to endure for 90 minutes.
He terminated contract with his previous team Anzhi Makhachkala this February. Since then he didn't play a minute - there are no infos whether he ever trained in the meantime or not at all. The question raises, who and why wanted to bring a seriously out-of-form player to Partizan, for whom it will probably take weeks to get back to shape.
Leonardo (full name: Leonardo da Silva Souza) at Nikola Tesla Airport
(photo: mondo.rs)
Earlier reports told that it had not been easy to sign Leonardo, it took time to convince him to come to Belgrade. Finally he agreed after long negotiations to sign for 3 years. Upon press informations it was Ivica Iliev (who else...) who forced to sign the Brazilian. Iliev told about it all around how much he'd like Partizan to have a "classic No. 10 player", and for some unknown reason he saw his dreams come true in Leonardo.
After all these we got a player compared to whom even I'm in a great shape.
I'd like to see Iliev's face, after he got to know what kind of deficiences the Brazilian have. Just for the sake of it.
By the way, talking about classic No. 10 players, let me suggest a few of them to Monsieur Iliev. Perhaps we could sign one or two of them.

Meanwhile the two Bulgarians seem to be done with the team. Bandalovski definitely wants to leave Partizan
rumours speak that it's not a new thing at all, he had wanted to find a new team for himself during the winter preparations already. It has been told that the last straw for him was Vulićević getting to the starting 11 against Zaglebie instead of him
while Bojinov was practically yelled off by Ivan Tomić in the locker-room after the Saturday training. One of the reasons was that the Bulgarian is still overweighted, the other reason was discreetly mentioned as "tactical conceptions",
I can imagine. I’m probably not the only one who noticed that Bojinov’s pace would be enough for a League 5 veterans’ game, maybe
mondo.rs mentioned though that Tomić gave out the order to find a striker before the end of the transfer window.
And here comes the punch line. I kept it for the end of this post on purpose.
Partizan’s management gave out a press release about the stadium’s renovations in the near future according to UEFA’s current regulations. To make these renovations possible, the team needed financial support from the Serbian Football Association (FSS). They got it - and the management is now giving thanks to FSS’s president, Slaviša Kokeza,
that Slaviša Kokeza, who was Crvena Zvezda’s vice president not so long ago.
Aren’t they cute?... Let’s wipe off the tears from our eyes that ran out by these so heavy emotions.
The date, time and broadcast of the return match against Zaglebie:
At least half of the starting 11 line-up was totally unknown for me.
Someone should tell me why it’s good to scrounge a bunch of new players that could make up an entire starting eleven. Players you’ve never heard of, and you don’t know who and why wanted to sign them for Partizan. None of them is a class player, none of them has character, yet at the same time we sell out our own youth/cadet players even before they reach the coming of age.
Fans started to chant "Vučiću pederu" before the start. Nothing new, nothing special, just carrying on where we finished in the previous season, right?
Starting line-up
Bench
(photos: partizan.rs)
I’d like to ask head coach Ivan Tomić about why Saša Ilić had to stay on the bench for the whole time NOW, when we play in the Europa League?...
Then the match started and we passed the ball among us. We also kept on passing the ball. We passed the ball here and there. Our ball possession was excellent. We could even reach the Polish penalty area, but we then stopped there. Đurđić was supposed to be on the striker position, yet I could hear his name to be mentioned only once during the first 20 minutes.
Zaglebie played defensive football. They probably wanted to survive this game without getting any goal. The first time they had any mentionable attempt on our goal (and it was really on target) was in the 24th minute. Otherwise Partizan kept on passing the ball. Here and there. With no visible result.
It started to be exciting in the last 10 minutes. First Radović missed out 2 chances in a row, then it was Mihajlović’s turn to miss out an attempt with the ball hitting a defender and by this "ricochet" rolling out of the field missing the target with 2 millimetres or so. Bogosavac too had a great chance, hitting the crossbar, while Đurđić raised to Bojinovian heights, when he screwed up an attempt 3 steps from the goal line in the 41st minute. (Then he had a fight with Todorovski.)
The moment when you realize Euro2016 is over and you have to content yourself with superliga
(photo: partizan.rs)
I think it says all that I was begging for the game to end already in the 50th minute. Numerous attempts were missed out (Đurđić, Radović). Papadopulos got his 2nd yellow card in the 55th minute, from then on Zaglebie played with 10 players.
And we still couldn’t score one single goal. We tried, while the Polish team didn’t pressure themselves too much. They played it defensive. They had one attempt in the 61st minute, they dribbled it so good that they made Everton fall on the ground, then they barely missed it.
The Substitute Of All Times. Đurđić off, Bojinov on. Effectivity is not our cup of tea, is it? Most important is to look fancy on the field, with the trendiest haircut ever
(photo: partizan.rs)
The team seemingly started to get exhausted around the 75th minute. Players slowed down, they fumbled more and more. It was easy for Polish players to tackle them. They even got up to our penalty area
once Gogoua almost headed an own goal
then they quickly ran back home.
Iliev’s facial expression is just priceless. Only he can make such a numbskull face
(photo: partizan.rs)
The team picked themselves together for the last few minutes and attacked the Polish goal line continuously, with no success. Bojinov just had to miss out a chance, kicking the ball to the sky from the five-metre-line in the last minute.
BotoxBiki (aka Biljana Obradović, Partizan’s so-called PR-manager) was staying behind the southern goal line among photographers, bringing a rather polluted aura to the field. If I had been there with the players, I’d have suggested to play target shooting: those who can hit her botoxed head off her giraffe neck, would get extra bonus after the match.
Saša Ilić was surely not happy with the sight
(photo: partizan.rs)
Goalless draw against a team that played most of the second half with 10 players. We must very heavily pick ourselves together for the return match, if we want to be mentioned as a "European team".
Miroslav Bogosavac and Marko Janković were the only ones who had fair performance
After a long-long time of struggles Andrija Živković finally became the player of Benfica. He was announced officially, he even had his first ever PR-interview and there was even time for an emotional welcome by Ljubomir Fejsa.
definitely a much bigger bomb than those announced by everyone’s favourite (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) sports director, Ivica Iliev at every single goddamn transfer
Andrija Živković has signed to SL Benfica until 2021.
I still think it was more or less expected. After those this kid had to go through this winter it would have been a miracle if he stayed at ul. Humska. Or rather at Teleoptik, where he was sent to exile for the entire spring season by Partizan’s leadership.
It was also no surprise that Živković will wait silently until his contract with Partizan expires - it happened on 30th June - then he immediately packs his suitcases and travels to the nearest big team and signs to them for at least 4-5 years, while fanfares flourish hymns all around.
Honestly? I can absolutely understand him. What is more, I would probably have done the same if I was him. After he was dragged through the mire, tainted, threatened and lied, even I wouldn’t have been willing to co-operate with these thieves in the management.
What is more, after Živković’s contract has expired, Benfica did not have to pay a single cent for the boy, who is worth 6,5 million euros according to Transfermarkt. Though some rumours speak about 4 million (or even 5 million) euros Živković got for his signature, not a single cent from this amount will reach the bank accounts at ul. Humska.
So, dear everyone in the management, from Iliev through the fat lard Vazura to the corrupted Vuletić, you can eat shit now. You wasted a wonderfully talented, young player, whose heart and soul were for Partizan only. You wasted him, because you were way too selfish and thought you can do anything without consequences. You deserve it all.
Žile,
I wish you to be VERY successful at Benfica. Conquer the hearts of fans there, play, dribble, score goals, show them what a talent you are. Improve as much as it’s just possible, bring the best out of yourself. Be a world class player. I wish you to be mentioned together with players like Alessandro Del Piero, Eric Cantona, Paolo Maldini or Marco Van Basten. Be the role model for children from Serbia through Japan to Chile. You deserve it. And then, please, return to Partizan! Until then we try to clean the club from this sicko leadership.
Good luck!
PS: Give our regards to Šaponja :)
Finally a few photos about Živković undergoing medical examinations by Benfica’s team doctors:
