Hello from Partizan Belgrade fan.
First of all, no one belived that on December 10, we will be in this situation. 99% of fans would say that we will be first or second in national championship and at the bottom in Europa League. Our season is partially destroyed, we have terrible results in really weak national championship and really good results in european matches. Strage - but thats it.
Line between Serbian goverment (read: owners of people money) and our big rival Red Star (Crvena Zvezda) is so close. You cant understand that because you live in high developed country, but its so normal here that prime minister give few milion euros to his beloved team (Red Star), he decide, he do that, no one asks more question. Our clubs are not in private property, still everything is owned by state. So goverment can decide who will get which amount of money. This political party and this goverment is 100% for Red Star. From time to time, Red Star and goverment have big "european projects"-goverment give them millions to make big result in sports, money from people pockets! One is currently running in basketball.. they have millions, they sign what they want... they also had european project in 1991, when goverment give them millions and signed all best players from country, then they became football Champions League winners.
This is our prime minister, most powerful men in country, yeah, hard core fan:

Can you imagine Angela Merkel with for example Bayern Munchen ultras and tommorow she say Bayern will get 10 million of euro and Augsburg will get 100 000 euro.
We dont have money, we dont have loyal club officers, our club is runned by prime minister close people who want to destroy club. Our basketball club is demolished (famous, european champion, second club in Europe by produced NBA players), our waterpolo club same (biggest waterpolo club in Europe)

There will be around 25 000 fans, how many people come from Germany?
Moral in our team is really low, when we talk about our fans - even lower. But margin is high and we think if we stop Bobadilla we will pass this. Our defence is weakest part of the team. Biggest plus is that we have fast mid players, fast transformation to attact and we can do a lot in that situations. If Stefan Babovic dont play, i think we will win. He is most hatered person in our club. He is son of really rich businessman, can you belive that we have situation that his dad PAY BRIBE to club officers that his son play in first 11? Yeah, european matches and all that.. corruption, and of course, even if is he terribly bad, he will play whole 90 minutes.
My brother had talked me about so warm welcome in Germany. I hope that fans from Germany will feel the same tommorow. I hope we will see good football and hope the best will go to next round.
Ask me if you have any question.
PS: Some of people here probably cant understand these sentences about goverment, people money inserted in one club and similar, because you dont live in that environment, belive me, we are european mix of Zimbabwe and North Korea.
Bo....ba...di...lla.
Fully deserved victory, Augsburg dominated biggest part of the match. We had few 100% chances and nothing... and punishment came. Sad day but this is football, few months ago you are super happy against Steaua, we will be happy again.
