Crvena zvezda offers Marakana to Inter

Stojkovic wants the NeroAzzuri to play at Marakana stadium in Belgrade


09.02.2007 by JadranSport

Italian government and Football Association have suspended several stadiums in Italy including Inter Milan and AC Milan home ground Guiseppe Meazza San Siro due to last week's escalation of violence in Sicily. Both the NeroAzzuri and Rossoneri will now have to look for another stadium to play their games. Considering the issue where these two football giants will play is yet to be resolved, Crvena zvezda president Dragan Stojkovic decided to offer Massimo Moratti the Serbian Champions stadium “Marakana” in Belgrade for Inter's upcoming Champions League match with Valencia.


Full name Stadion Crvena Zvezda
(Red Star Stadium)

Nickname Marakana
Built 1960-1963
Opened September 1, 1963
Capacity 51,538
Home of Red Star Belgrade, Serbia national football team
Pitch size 110 x 73 yards


Realistic chances for Inter to accept the offer
The press in Serbia report that there are solid chances that Inter's owner might accept Stojkovic's offer and bring his team to Belgrade on 21st February for the clash with Valencia. In his official letter to Inter the Serbs Champions president said that Inter would have great support at Marakana since the Serbian national team captain Dejan Stankovic is a star with the NeroAzzuri while Roberto Mancini's assistant coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is a legend of Zvezda and Serbian football. Apart from that, Stojkovic believes that Belgrade is close enough for Inter's fans to come and attend the game with Valencia.

“We would be honored to host Inter's games” - Stojkovic
Stojkovic who was one of the Serbian best footballers of all times, now a high official at C.zvezda, added that his club would be honored to help Inter in this situation. The former Olympique Marseille and Nagoya midfielder is convinced that C.zvezda's fans will support Inter as if it's their own club playing. However, there's no official answer to this offer from Inter yet.

Didn't Milan play against Red Star Belgrade there, Milan won right?

 

[Aleksandar]

Yes I think Milan won 1:0

 

[Karim]

yeah, by Pippo

 

[Adam]

I watched the England-Spain friendly and I have to say Villa scares the shit out of me. He's worldclass in shooting, passing and dribbling.

I hope that Matterazzi man marks him.

 

[Fabio]

I would LOVE to play in the Marakana...

 

[Karim]

And why is that?

 

[Stefan]

I am sure we will play in SAN Siro the only question is whether it will be with full capacity or just season ticket holders.

 

[Karim]

The suport could be fenomenal,
Deki and Miha in our team and they are still huge in Serbia

 

[szasza02]

the fans in the Marakana and the atmosphere are just F***IN AWESOME!!!

Miha and Stanovic are legend there especialy Miha,Red Star won champions league with him in 1991 in Bari.If Inter must play somewhere else, then in Maracana would be ok.More from the atmosphere in Maracana

Hope on the bus the guy has been scaring the phuck out of me ever since we drew Valencia in the draw. I have been watching him with Valencia all season and if he and Vicente start to link up things could turn ugly for us.

Mancini needs to take a look at th Getafe tape from the cup and figure out a way to limit Albelda's impact on the game from the middle of the park.

As for Villa I would rather see Burdisso given the job of taking him out of the game. Materazzi can hang back and take care of the scraps and the crosses from the wings.

 

[Enzo]

Villa killed Woodgate, that was funny to watch.

Anyone else agree with me that we should go out all guns blazing against Valencia, by that I mean:

Cesar
Maicon Cordoba Materazzi Zanetti
....Stankovic Vieira Cambiasso......
..Ibrahimovic Crespo Adriano...

?

 

[Hasan]

It would be great to play on Marakana, great atmosphere and Stojkovic said that Red Star fans will suport Inter.

Im with you on that. Who knows Marcello we might be watching the wrong games.

 

[Alex de Large]

mancini better watch the getafe 3 valencia 0 of today. without david villa anyway.

 

[Stefan]

After todays performance it's quite clear Burdisso and not Cordoba must play this game. Lets hope Mancini makes the right choice.

 

[Waleed]

Mancini would have to have a shotgun to his head to pick Cordoba over Burdisso for the game against Valencia. Villa would eat him alive, spit him out and kick his bunk ass into our net.

Maybe a little over the top, maybe just a little bit....

Like I said Mancini needs to get his hands on those Getafe tapes. They have played them four times this season and beaten them twice and gotten a draw. Either that of Mancini needs to pick up some German right quick and get on the horn with Bernd Schuster.
