The police forbade Spartak fans to organize paper-based rallies on the rostrum. Now at the games of red and white, a new feature is in use - balloons. They were laid out even in the press box. All day on the Internet walked instructions on how to handle them.
Here she is:
"one. Come to the match in advance! Everyone at 20-00 to be ALREADY on the podium.
2. On each tribune, on each sector, on each place you will find from 2 to 3 balls. On the stands B and C, as well as on the half of the stand A, 3 balls will be laid out. There will be 2 balls each in stand D and part of stand A.
3. Everything that you find on the seat should be inflated approximately 5-10 minutes before the teams enter the field.
4. INFLATED BALLOONS TO LIFT ONLY AFTER HOW DOES SECTOR B8 DO IT! This will happen during the anthem of the Champions League. No need to raise balls ahead of time, no need to pop them! The big picture depends on each of you!
A big request is to convey this to the maximum number of people who will go with you to football. Help the “Kuzmichs” and other infrequent guests in our stands, do not be shy about it!
If everything works out, you will take part in the most ambitious performance in the history of the Russian support. We will try to involve 65 thousand people. ”
It turned out, frankly, not very spectacular. But the idea is good. In theory, she was supposed to scare naive Italians. But the sound of bursting balls excited only Stranzl. And everyone knows what happened because of this.
It is possible, incidentally, that the Austrian was more impressed by the road to the stadium. He, as well as all his partners, traveled to Luzhniki by metro. And with a change. Spartak got into the car at the Sukharevskaya station, but it was not a direct line.
“We stood in a traffic jam for 45 minutes,” said the captain of the red-white Yegor Titov. - There we came across a fan who said that we can stand for a very long time. We decided to go by subway.
- Who paid for the entry?
- No one. Good policemen let us in for free.
- And what are your impressions?
- Fine. We drove with the fans, it’s all useful. Only now it’s very hot, sweating.
- Have you been in the subway for a long time?
- Fifteen years. In my opinion, the last time it was in '91.
... And after the game, a little scandal arose in the podium. UEFA representatives tried to invite Roman Pavlyuchenko to an interview. Refuse, by the way, is impossible. But the footballer cursed the club’s press attaché, who persuaded him to stop near the cameras. As a result, only Stranzl, Titov and Kowalewski shared their impressions of the match.
To bring people to the cameras who have been tested by the subway is truly inhumane.
