People have probably noticed that I have distanced myself from this circus called
football and indeed I have done that. But not because of results or something sports related, on the contrary. I have distanced myself because I have realized how "ill" the whole system is and how much corruption there is in the biggest clubs in Serbia (Partizan and Crvena Zvezda........but it applies to all other clubs as well), as well as the Football Association of Serbia itself.
Politics are heavily involved in football in
and, as someone who only focuses on the sports side of the whole story and is apolitical for the most part, I have a huge problem with that.
This historical debacle in
is the biggest humiliation
has ever got in our entire football history. Am I surprised? Not at all. In fact, I was sure it would come at some point. Players are not the ones to be blamed for this, the people responsible for this fiasco are those coming from the Football Association who are destroying this sport in
and who have appointed a coach only because he is a member of the rulling party in Serbia.
Krstajić will go down in history as a man who brought the biggest debacle to
He has 0 coaching expereince, he's not even a coach, but as I mentioned above, he is a loyal member of the rulling party which is enough to secure a spot on the bench. His statements like "
First of all I would like to thank our president Vučić for everything he has done for " and "
I would like to quote our president: "Serbia is not here for me, I am here for it"" are already iconic and so is his leading of the national team.
The tactics that he prepared for this match show that even an average FM player would've done a better job.
was better in literally every aspect of the game while our team looked like a group of people who gathered to play some recreational football on the street. He missed the opportunity to show some moral dignity after the match and he didn't take responsibility for what he has done. So, he lost every bit of credibility that he had as a player. Because, as a coach he never had any credibility at all.
In every normal association/country, a coach would be sacked right away after something like this, but it will not happen here. And it is not even the whole solution, only a part of it. Along with Krstajić, the big heads in the Association need to "fly away" from their positions as well. Which will not happen either.
It's a shame, we have a talented team, but it will be destroyed by people who are in this game for greed, power, and money. This is a school example of how one can destroy everything they touch. Until the system is changed, I doubt that many people in
will take all of this very seriously.
