” This is the most embarrassing moment in my career. In my opinion, after the incident with Akinfeev match I had to finish, but UEFA delegate was of a different opinion. We have nothing left but to obey his decision, “- say after the match, head coach Fabio Capello Russians, who looked at the press conference grim.
But nothing no signs of such horror. A couple of days before the meeting in the capital of Montenegro as if no one knew that their team to be one of the crucial games for its short eight-year history. City lived his measured life, but in the late afternoon on Friday the situation began to resemble a boiling cauldron.
An hour before the meeting began to catch up to the arena Montenegrin fans, many of whom were in a strong drunk. Frankly, looking at the crowd of drunken fans, I caught myself thinking that it could end up scandal. Stout, rolled up in Montenegrin flags “Barbarians”, as proudly call themselves radical supporters of the local “Buducnost”, directed to the stadium as if they are not collected on football, and at the slaughterhouse.
A few words about the most arena: no offense to Montenegrins will be discussed, but it is impossible to work. A small group of Russian journalists and could not connect to the Internet in the press box. Moreover, the representative of the Football Federation of Montenegro for a couple of minutes before the whistle Denise Ayketina demanded from us, we were transferred to a central place on the edge.

Football “Hradsky” ended already at 10 seconds of the match. Abandoned with fan sector Montenegrins firecracker hit in the neck Igor Akinfeev, who threw himself collapsed on the lawn. By his own goalkeeper threw almost all of the Russian national team. “This savage, whoever he was, was it not in the Fire Akinfeev, but with us, Montenegrins,” – said sitting next to me colleague, grab at this point for the head.
After five minutes, the referee Ayketin led the team off the field, and Akinfeev was taken on a special cart, and then taken to the hospital. It became clear that football went by the wayside, and that the logic of the game should be canceled. But the pause was delayed. More than half an hour we journalists rushed from side to side in the press box, trying to figure out, how is 28-year-old guardian of the gates of our team. The attempts to find out much-needed information, refer to the press attache team Ilya Kazakov. “At the press conference, everyone will say,” – this was his answer.
In the meantime, the team were in the locker room, I went to a restaurant for VIPs, which at that time was not protection, but were RFU President Nikolai Tolstoy, Deputy Director General Catherine Fedyshina organization and member of the Board of Directors of the Moscow “Spartak” Dzhevan Cheloyants. From their conversation it became clear that the RAF is going to file a protest. It was then that it became clear: the match will be continued. And indeed, after a few minutes the roar of the fans Montenegrin Speaker declares the following: “Ladies and gentlemen match continues. In the case of any new trouble game will be stopped.” Otherwise, how absurd this situation can not be called. Dissatisfied with this decision, and the president of the Football Federation of Montenegro, the former star of “Milan” Dejan Savicevic.

Savichevich about something spoke with a thick, which at that time returned to the VIP box, before refusing to comment Russian journalists.
The match resumed, but journalists have not before. We would like to know what’s up with Akinfeev. From various sources it is known that Igor burn neck and concussion. Then there is information according to which the decision to continue the fight took UEFA delegate Barry Bright. Apparently, the opinion of our team and Capello played no role.
It is outrageous and include output Yuri Lodygina instead Akinfeev counted as a full replacement. And it is in such and such circumstances! It was clear that this game is still something to happen.
Closer to break on the edge of injured Alan Dzagoev, in which the crowd began throwing coins. CSKA midfielder drawn at this point to the judge, but all in vain. Moreover, barely team went on hiatus, between the South Stand with the Russian-Serbian troops and local fans unrest began: fans started breaking chairs and throwing them into each other. But even after this match was continued, although we have all been told that in case of repetition of riots game will be stopped, but finally it was broken in the 67th minute, after unrealized Shirokov penalty.
Someone some of Montenegrin fans threw a lighter Kombarova, and here the boil bench who grappled with each other almost at full strength. After this re-Ayketin led the team off the field, although a few players hosts at this point without power fell to the turf and covered her face. They, unlike the fans, well aware of what threatens this whole situation.
After a lighter thrown Kombarova and announcements in the stadium, the match finally interrupted, Russian fans were asked to remain in their seats and were not allowed to arena during one hour. In turn, the Montenegrins without much excitement left the stadium and did not wait for our fans, who met each football team, held by them under the South Stand, applause.
As for Akinfeev, he flew to Moscow together with the team where he will undergo additional treatment. After one day and found a fan who threw a firecracker Igor unfortunate. They found 25-year-old Luka Lazarevic, who can go to jail for 10 or 12 years.
However, his fate is little we care about, as for the Russians is the most important decision of UEFA, who is obliged to deduct Montenegro forfeited with a score of 0: 3. If subservient Michel Platini organization to act differently, a big scandal breaks out, especially since the Football Federation of Montenegro itself recognized that what happened in Podgorica – it’s a shame. Now a word for UEFA.
