Highlights of the transfer season - part 1.

In this post I try to go through the names of all players who arrived at or left Partizan during the winter transfer season. The list is far from being complete, it focuses only on the events around the football and basketball team. (At the other departments of Partizan there have been either no changes or no news about the possible changes.)

Two new players arrived at the football team right after the end of the autumn season. Marko Jovanović, defender, played for Voždovac previously. Bojan Šaranov, goalkeeper, spent 7 seasons at OFK Beograd, being on loan at a number of other teams. Before Partizan he played for Ergotelis in Greece.

Just a few days after signing the contract with Partizan Šaranov went out to party - with not else than the former players of the neighbouring red-striped team as well as their current team captain. The phenomenal night was eternalized on Instagram - it’s still there, the players celebrate with a big bottle of whisky. If you don’t mind, I won’t upload or embed the photo, because I do not want to puke. If you still want to see it, I give you a link of a news site, where you can take a look. Enjoy (or not).

It also means that Živko Živković will probably not needed anymore in ul. Humska. Živković told a few times to the media that he would probably not start the spring season with Partizan, but still he could not sign to any other team yet. (He is even included in the name list of those players who travel with Partizan to Cyprus for a winter training camp.)
Indirectly, but still a winter transfer event for a (former) Partizan-player: Slaviša Jokanović signed for the head coach post of FC Fulham.

At the end of December Nemanja Mihajlović was signed from Rad. Meanwhile Partizan’s basketball player Danilo Anđušić confirmed that he would not extend his contract with the team. In the first week of January he signed to Polish team Anwil Wloclawek.

The football team’s new head coach, Ivan Tomić started his job at Partizan at the end of December as well. He was signed after Ljubinko Drulović had been discharged at the end of the autumn season. Tomić started it fair and square, he openly told he would not need a number of players. He even told names: Stefan Babović and Petar Grbić was clearly not in the new coach’s favour. The media mentioned even Bojinov and Fabricio, too.
As for Stefan Babović, Partizan terminated the contract with him right today. The official statement stated "mutual agreement". There’s no reliable information about Fabricio, but he is not included among those who travel to Cyprus for training camp. Petar Grbić signed to Turkish super league team Akhisaspor on the first week of January.

The Andrija Živković-saga started on the very last day of December. There is only one thing sure, that the young midfielder will not stay at Partizan. During the past days/weeks the most bizarre rumours were circulating about him: sports sites claimed that Borussia Dortmund wanted to sign him, then Benfica popped up as a possible future team. A Chinese team offered 1,3 million euros for him, but Partizan rejected it. In the meantime Živković got a new manager: his contract expired with the previous one, Pini Zahavi from Israel and they did not extend it. His new manager is Predrag Đorđević.

Yes, it’s THAT Pini Zahavi, who had a long number of controversial steps, mostly about players’ rights and transfer money, and not only with Andrija Živković.

Partizan got offers for other players, too: Bojinov was targeted by Spanish and Chinese clubs, but on one hand Partizan demanded at least 2 million euros from him, on the other Bojinov told to the media (in his usual style...) that he wouldn’t leave ul. Humska until he can win at least one eternal derby, and/or he scores at least 12 goals in a season. Aboubakar and Brašanac was also among those who could be (or could have been) sold. Clubs from China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey wanted to sign the Cameroonian, Partizan priced him for 1,5 million euros. (Aboubakar was also not included among those players who travel to Cyprus.) Brašanac got offers from two renowned Belgian clubs; one of them offered 2,7 million euros for the midfielder, but Partizan management told them, Brašanac was not for sale.

Among those who possibly arrive at Partizan, the first two names were two Romanian players (Denis Alibec and Constantin Budescu), but head coach Tomić later denied the rumours. Brazilian/Belorussian Renan Bressan was also mentioned, but these news were denied by Iliev. As always, in almost every transfer season, Cléo's name also came up. The Brazilian would gladly return to Partizan, but Iliev said, there are serious obstacles in the way.

The other big soap opera of the winter transfer season is the story of Vojvodina, Partizan and Mirko Ivanić. Partizan wants to sign Vojvodina’s midfielder since forever, yet negotiations always come to a halt after a while. Vojvodina constantly turns the price of the player higher and higher, while Partizan claimed, they can’t and don’t want to pay more than 1 million euros for Ivanić.

Nota bene: the neigbouring striped team also checked in at Vojvodina with an offer for Ivanić. They would pay 1,4 million euros. The funniest/most tragic fact is though that it’s Ivanić himself whom nobody actually asked what he wants. He admitted to a sports site that he in fact doesn’t want to sign to any of these two teams, because he’d prefer to go abroad, but it’s highly possible that his current club will put the kid under very heavy pressure so that eventually he will have to sign to one or the other.

The biggest boom of the transfer season was definitely Ivan Šaponjić signing to SL Benfica for five and a half years.

(photos: Twitter)

The price was allegedly 3 million euros or so (there was another version that he would have been sold for only 1,5 million, but then he stays at Partizan on loan for the end of the season, but it seems he stays in Lisbon).
Finally, the punch line: Duško Vujošević signed to French team Limoges as head coach, this way he can work again with two of his former players, Léo Westermann and Bo McCalebb.
As the closing of this blogpost here is a photo about the football players getting ready for the training camp in Cyprus. And those who think it's Ismael Beko Fofana on the left side of the photo, well, they are right.

The second part of the highlights will be posted at the end of the transfer season.

News in bulk

Fofana left for China. It's official. Partizan put the Ivory Coast player on loan to Qingdao Jonoon FC for 12 months.

It's revolting. This highly talented, golden-hearted youngster should not rot and get forgotten in China. He should have been transported to Western Europe, after those in charge definitely wanted to put him on loan. May all those whom it concerns put up a wire-brush to themselves.

***

If that was not enough, another Chinese team is interested in Petar Škuletić. (What the hell is going on there?...) The unnamed team offered 4 million euros for the striker, but after the Lille-adventure the management made it clear, Škuletić is not for sale. The player had only a resigned comment to mozzartsport.com saying the world would not collapse if he had to stay in ul. Humska, but he would have to find out how to manage his livelihood. (Yes, Partizan’s financial state is still between "horror" and "unbelievable".)

***

Hotsport made an interview with former Partizan player Igor Duljaj. The entire text can be read here, now I just try to pick some highlights. Duljaj has been playing in Ukraine for more than 6 years, but due to the civil war his team, Sevastopol ceased to be. All players were discharged, many of them ended their professional career. Duljaj got some offers from Greece, but he decided to give up being an active football player and enrolled to a trainers’ course in Kiev. He also tells about his experiences living in a civil war area, talks about the current state of Serbian football as well as many others.

***

It’s official: Partizan signed (again) Stefan Babović. Announcement and press conference will be tomorrow at 13:00.

***

Ulsan Hyundai, a football team from South Korea is interested in signing Vladimir Volkov. The defender has nothing against it either, mozzartsport.com says the making of the contract is in the final stage. (Let’s not draw quick conclusions. Volkov is still with the team that just started the winter preparations.)

***

Vanja Marinković has signed his first ever professional contract with KK Partizan for 4 years.

***

Milutin Đukanović from Montenegro arrived at KK Partizan for a "test run". KK Lovćen Cetinje’s player will be tested as a point guard.

***

Partizan’s water polo team will clash with Galatasaray in Champions League on 17th January. However, after the basketball tragedy in November the match will be played behind closed gates. VK Partizan wrote a letter to the Serbian Ministry of Home Affairs to allow their fans to enter the Banjica sports hall and watch the game. No reply has been received so far.

News from football fields and basketball grounds

Fofana might leave ul. Humska. News, that are not confirmed yet, talk about a Chinese football team that is interested in the Ivory Coast player. Rumours say, Fofana might get to them on loan, but if he is confident enough, Partizan might sell him.

I hope I’m not right, but this waste of such a talented player will strike back.

***

The new presidency has just been elected, but president Zoran Popović has already experienced disagreements with Ljubiša Tumbaković and Dragan Ćirić. The reason is Marko Nikolić, whether he stays or gets discharged. Newssite blic.rs says the Tumbaković-Ćirić duo is forcing to sign Ivan Tomić to Partizan’s bench, while the president stood up for Marko Nikolić. Some say, it is especially tragic because during the presidency election Marko Nikolić was lobbying for Tumbaković.

***

Milenko Tepić won’t be able to play tomorrow against Cedevita. Thank God his injury is not that serious, he really had just a brutal muscle spasm. Yet the problem is that there’s no substitue for him. Additionally, tomorrow’s match is crucial whether Partizan can qualify to the play-offs of Adriatic League.
Note: Partizan plays with Cedevita tomorrow at 17:00. SportKlub 1 broadcasts it live.

Fofana is Player of the Year

The results of the poll at Partizan's website say the best player of 2014 is Ismael Beko Fofana.
The poll is still open, if you click on the image below, you can vote, if you haven't yet.

Fofana is leading high, it's more or less sure he'll be Player of the Year.
I do not add any comment to this, I think it says all.

FK Bežanija - FK Partizan 0:1 (Serbian Cup, 1/16 finals)

I apologize to everyone for bringing you such a weak match review. A virus knocked me out, approx. the same way as Fofana’s goal did the Novi Beograd team yesterday. I watched the match from bed, when I could keep my eyes open at all.
So, as I was kind enough to give you spoilers right at the beginning, Fofana scored the match’s only goal in the 37th minute.

Partizan played with a team consisting of mostly substitutes. Marko Nikolić clearly wanted the key people to have some rest.

Živko Živković was in charge at the goal line

Partizan dominated the match, Bežanija barely had chances. They had one in the first half, but goalkeeper Živković saved it. Then in the 2nd half they had two in a row in the 55th minute. The first was saved by Partizan’s goalkeeper, the second shot hit the side net.
There are more photos.

Rad - FK Partizan 0:4 - Jelen SuperLiga Round 4

It was a great, higly enjoyable, exciting match. All of you who missed it out, should be sorry now.

Has anyone really missed it out?...

The game was organized without spectators, behind closed gates.
But not without Miša Tumbas.
Miša Tumbas, the forever loyal Miša Tumbas was there at the Banjica stadium, watching the boys from behind the fence.

The first chance came in the 4th minute, missed by Brašanac. In the 7th minute Lazović got a huge pass from Živković, but the linesman was waving for offside.
Two minutes later, after a throw-in Škuletić had a great solo, but shot the ball right into the goalkeeper. Rad tried with a counter-attack, but the ball flew out of the field above the goalpost.
It was a quick-paced, exciting match, full of action, even in the beginning with fantastic dribbles and it got only better as the match was going on. In the 10th minute Škuletić was trying again, then two minutes later an unbelievable Vulićević-Grbić teamwork ended up as corner. In the 14th minute a a free kick by Živković was followed by a fantastic Branko Ilić-Marković interplay. Average Fan was squeaking from joy.
After the 15th minute Rad got a chance, but Jelić’s weak shot rolled off in front of the goal line. Then in the 18th minute Branko Ilić cleared the Partizan penalty area with a great move. (It wasn’t the last of such actions by the Slovenian defender, he saved the team from quite a few dangerous attacks in the first half.)

The 21st minute brought another great chance. Vulićević earned a corner for Partizan, then Stanković’s shoot was blocked by Rad defenders.
Then in the 26th minute Lazović ran up on the right side and passed to Škuletić with a move that should be taught at academies. The striker simply walked in the net with the ball. 0:1
The 29th minute was again Branko Ilić time, a minute later Lukač had a marvellous save after a dangerous heading.
It happened some time around the 30th minute that Vulićević was kicked onto the ground about the x-th time. The defender did a great job for the whole match, he reached the speed of a lightning and once he got the ball, he sped up and ran towards the opponent’s penalty area on the right side.
In the 33rd minute Grbić ran up to Rad’s goal line, but he was blocked by a defender. 3 minutes later Lazović got a great pass, but shot the ball into the goalkeeper. Not much later came a fantastic Živković-Lazović-Grbić teamwork (pity it was missed out). Then in the 39th minute it was again Branko Ilić blocking an attack. (Then one of those silly little boys tried to shot it, but didn’t think of Lukač.)
The 42th minute brought the world’s most ridiculous goal. Lazović got the ball, shot it, the goalkeeper wanted to save it by falling straight, right on the ball. But it slipped through his hands and rolled into the net with a grin on its round face. 0:2

I seriously felt sorry for Rad’s goalkeeper.

At the beginning of the second half Rad had a weak trying. In the 48th minute Živković’s free kick was saved by the goalkeeper.

Živković in action some time during the match

Rad tried to speed up, in the 50th minute we could thank Saša Marković that a dangerous attack avoided Partizan’s goal line. Then in the next minute Average Fan got wet from cold sweat as Veselinović missed out a chance with a shot from the five-meter line just above the goalpost.
The 57th minute brought another tricky situation. A Rad player fell on the ground inside Partizan’s penalty area, it very much looked like a penalty-suspicious action. Yet the referee waved "go ahead" and Partizan started a counter-attack...
...and 0:3. After a fantastic, genious, amazing Živković-Škuletić teamwork Lazović scored a HUGE goal. Right into the net.

He was this very happy afterwards

The 59th minute brought another Rad-chance, but the ball rolled out of the field far from the goalpost. In the 62nd minute Partizan missed out another, after a pass from Lazović Škuletić headed it above the goal just a few steps away from the goal line. Then in the 67th minute Lukač had to do some exercises, probably to avoid catching cold in the pale Belgrade sunshine.
Partizan kept up their pace and enthusiastically brought more and more spectacular chances. In the 69th minute Škuletić passed greatly to Živković, but Rad defenders blocked them. Two minutes later it was again the Montenegrian striker, even the defender that tried to stop him fell on the ground, but Škuletić missed it. Then Vulićević’s shot was saved by the goalkeeper, same as he did with Živković’s bombarding kick.
In the 77th minute Lukač had such a great luck that maybe he should keep an amulet with himself in the future... A shot avoided Partizan’s goal with just a few centimeters, Partizan goalkeeper couldn’t have had too many chances...
In the 79th minute Fofana wanted to increase Partizan’s advantage, but the linesman waved for offside and the referee didn’t validate his goal.

The 81st minute brought again a dangerous Rad-attack, but they were blocked by Partizan’s defenders. Živković got the ball from the counter-attack, dribbled among the defenders in Rad’s penalty area - and shot too high. In the 83rd minute it was a screaming chance for Rad (I mean, Average Fan was screaming from horror). A bombarding shot was saved by Lukač with a great movement. The ball dropped to the goalpost from the goalkeeper’s hand and rolled out to the penalty area.
In the 86th minute, after a HUGE Ninković-Živković-Ninković interplay Fofana got the ball. The Ivorian player nodded and the ball dropped to the net. 0:4

In the last minutes Ninković tried with a shot (missed), then Fofana again scored, but the referee didn’t agree saying Fofana was playing handball right before shooting.

FK Voždovac - FK Partizan 1:3 (Jelen SuperLiga, Round 1)

First match of the 2014/15 season. Partizan-players were wearing their nice and brand new grey "away" jerseys. (Petar Škuletić was nice enough to present it at the official jersey presentation in Belgrade in July. Here's a photo of him, you can see more Partizan-photos here, made by the blog author.)

It was a terrible heat, 30 degrees Celsius in the shade, in the stadium located in Belgrade's Vračar district the atmosphere was also heated

terrible pun

with about 1000 spectators.
(Originally they were about to play this match in Voždovac's own stadium, but the police suggested to switch to Obilić stadium in Vračar. Upon their opinion Voždovac Stadion didn't have the needed security regulations for organizing the match.)

(photo: Facebook)

The match started with a quite interesting scene. In the 3rd minute Voždovac had a goal kick. The goalkeeper ran up, kicked the ball - and it hit Lazović's back so much, that it flew back towards the goal and almost scored. It missed the goal just with centimetres. (It would have been the biggest troll goal of Partizan for sure.)
Partizan aggressively attacked Voždovac. Sometimes in the 8th minute Voždovac earned a corner, but they missed the chance. Not much later Volkov had a great shot (it flew too high), one minute later a corner dropped just in front of Vulićević, but the defender also kicked the ball too high. Voždovac got to Partizan's goal only in the 13th minute, but the shot was too weak, it didn't mean any difficulty for Lukač.
Partizan attacked heavily, but somehow all shots were caught by Voždovac defenders. Yet the opponent could hardly get to Partizan's penalty area, and even if they could, they tried with so weak shots that it didn't mean any problem either for Partizan's defense line or goalkeeper Lukač. Game was going on mostly on Voždovac's midfield.
In the 20th minute Drinčić had a free kick but again the ball flew over the goal. Then at the 25th minute they had a cooling break for about 2-3 minutes, everyone grabbed the water bottles.
In the 29th minute Voždovac had a huge chance, missed by Pantelić. (One Voždovac-player ran up to Partizan's penalty area, passed the ball into the middle, Pantelić nodded, but the ball flew over Partizan's goal.) Just before this scene Ninković had a try, the midfielder ran up with the ball among the defenders and shot, but it was again too weak, the ball spun out. Goal kick.
I think, I realized in the 31st minute that Lazović is still on the field. The forward was the shadow of his former self, he barely touched the ball for the entire match. As if his shoulder injury would have sucked the life out of him.
In the 38th minute Grbić missed a chance, and afterwards Partizan made "fireworks" in front of Voždovac's goal. Ninković had more than one shots, but all of them were blocked by defenders. Then Škuletić got the ball and he shot it into goalkeeper Supić from a few centimetres.
The rest of the first half didn't have any more exciting scenes. Partizan kept on attacking, got corners, but somehow all chances were missed. Voždovac got stuck in their own half.
In the second half Partizan continued to attack the home team, but still nothing seemed to work. Right at the beginning Grbić ran up on the right side and passed to the middle, but Škuletić had a bit of "lag" and missed the ball.

Did I see well, that in the 50th minute Obradović practically grabbed Grbić "right there in between"?... 

In the 52nd minute Drinčić again got a free kick, but again missed. The shot had a slide on the goalkeeper's hand and dropped in front of a Partizan-player (I didn't see it clearly, maybe it was Škuletić?...) who then headed the ball above the goal. One minute later the same scene could be seen, now Lazović missed it.
Partizan attacked very aggressively, it was clear they want to score a goal, they want to win very much. In the 55th minute Ninković's distant shot flew too high.
Then the 56th minute was one of those rare moments when Voždovac attacked, just the ball ran away right in front of Partizan's goal, there was nobody there to kick into it and score.

Thank God.

Around the 61st minute there was again a home attack, it was a bit more dangerous. A ball arrived to the middle, hit a Voždovac-player and flew out, goal kick.
In the 65th minute there was another cooling break.

And then came the rhetorical question: why did Saša Ilić come up (and why only as a substitute) only in the 70th minute?... Why?...

In the 71st minute Voždovac almost scored an own goal. Drinčić passed the ball to the middle, it popped left and right and almost ended up in the goal dropping from a defender (finally it ran out of the goal line). A few minutes later Saša Ilić passed to Volkov, the defender passed it to Luka (who came up a few minutes earlier as a substitute), the midfielder headed the ball to the goal but missed.
And then Voždovac took the lead. No one knows how, because they could barely got to Partizan's goal. It was something like "the blind man may per chance hit the mark", but nobody thought it would be like this... The home team got a free kick, someone among the Partizan defenders headed the ball out, it dropped right in front of a Voždovac-player, namely Tripković, he wasn't thinking too much, kicked and scored. 1:0
In the 77th minute Lazović got up to Voždovac's goal, but the goalkeeper saved his shot. They even wanted to make a counter attack, Stanimirović barely missed it...
Then it was 1:1. With an own goal. Volkov lobbed the ball to the middle, he probably wanted to pass it to Škuletić, but the ball finally hit Stošić and got to the goal.

I guess it wasn't in the screenplay, but at least it was already a draw.

Then in the 81th minute it was again Ninković trying from 20 meters, but again too high.
Then something interesting happened.
Ismael Beko Fofana appeared at the sideline as a substitute player.
Fofana. Personally.
That Fofana who was neglected for months, not getting a chance even as a substitute player. That Fofana who scored goals earlier, who is fast, absolutely talented and fans are convinced he does not need to prove himself.
He was there, at the sideline, ready to play.

(photo: mozzartsport.com)

When Grave Diggers noticed Fofana was about to enter, they were shouting and cheering loud. (I've been massively watching Partizan-matches for two years now, but I have never seen anything like this.) And when he finally entered (for Ninković), the stadium exploded. Fans were cheering and shouting every time he touched the ball. They were chanting his name. And somehow this gave an extra fuel to Partizan. They were running much faster, crawling, fighting, chasing the ball, and in the 85th minute Volkov got a huge chance again. The Montenegrin player got a pass, he shot it, but again, it flew too high.
In the 90th minute Partizan made another fireworks. It was a brilliant teamwork by Saša Ilić, Fofana and Luka, but they shot the ball right into the goalkeeper. Partizan-players even complained that one of the defenders of Voždovac actually played handball, but the referee didn't mind it.
5 minutes of extra time was coming.
Total chaos and resurrection.
In the 92th minute, after a wonderful interplay Vulićević passed the ball to the middle. Volkov rose up to the skies and with an unbelievable, amazing movement he kicked the ball into the goal. 1:2

With this movement... it should be taught at academies

(photo: mozzartsport.com)

Then he ran to the Grave Diggers...

(photo: mozzartsport.com)

...to celebrate together with them

The coup de grace was given by Fofana.
Vulićević ran up with the ball and passed to Saša Ilić. The boss kicked it to the middle, Lazović stepped over the ball with a very elegant (and totally selfless) movement, and the ball got just in front of Fofana. And the Ivory Coast player tore the net to pieces with his shot. The fans were crying and screaming from joy, and Fofana's happiness was true and absolutely well-deserved.

He shoots...

You scored it, yes

"Gentlemen, I did my duty"
