Jadransport - One day after the chaotic defeat
from Debrecen and humiliation of being knocked out with an 8:0 overall score
in two-match duel against this Hungarian Champion the statements that the
coach of Hajduk Split Miroslav Blazevic gave to the Croat media point out
that the man who won the bronze with Croatian national team in 1998 World
Cup could soon leave Poljud and by that bail out from the club that he said
he would make great again.
“I am in disbelief I can’t believe this happened, I am thinking whether to
resign or not,” were Blazevic’s first words after the match which could be
understood differently.
Today he was in a bit depressed than shocked mood saying: “We have a league
match before us and we got to do everything we can to beat Kamen Ingrad and
earn some points,” while on the question could he say what went wrong last
night in the match against Debrecen, Blazevic just said:
“I am not in condition to talk about it, I can’t sleep because of it and I
can discuss that match over the phone or even at this moment in any other
way of communication.”
Therefore it’s uncertain what will be his next move. The only thing certain
is that a great number of Hajduk fans would gladly see him out of their
bellowed club, just would that be the best thing to do?
If Blazevic leaves, what kind of impression would that leave of Hajduk? That
it’s a club on whose bench we can see anyone and as soon as European dream
is finished they can freely walk away and even get paid for it! That’s of
course ridiculous as Hajduk should not be a one night stand “job”.
It’s a club with a great history and tradition whose supporters nicknamed
them a long time ago “Maestro’s from the Sea” and with a good reason. The
Whites have played magnificent and beautiful football and along that way
some of their players became the heroes of the people.
During World War II the whole squad of Hajduk has joined the ranks of
Partizan troops and fought against the occupations forces of Germany, Italy
and their Croatian Ustasha’s troops led by Ante Pavelic. All of these
players fought side by side with the people and after the War finished they
continued to play football, with the medals of People’s heroes.
Where and when did this great spirit of pride and honor leave Split? We can
only guess but that wouldn’t be fare to Hajduk despite the fact who are the
men in charge of it, because they will go one day but the Whites from Split
will stay forever…
