Navijači Maribora spravili v zadrego privržence Liverpoola

• Liga prvakov, skupinski del (4. krog)
• Poročilo s tekme Liverpool : Maribor (3:0)
• Odmevi trenerjev in igralcev po dvoboju v Liverpoolu

Dvoboj med Liverpoolom in Mariborom se bo zapisal v zgodovino kot najbolj množično gostovanje navijačev vijolic. Na Anfieldu jih je bilo blizu 2.500, domače navijače pa je bolel ponos, ko so bili med srečanjem večkrat primorani poslušati zgolj navijaške napeve v čast slovenskim prvakom.

Navijači Maribora bi morali prejeti nagrado

Liverpool je bil priča največji evropski invaziji navijačev Maribora. Foto: Reuters Viole so preglasile domače navijače, ki so z redkimi izjemami ponudili tako komorno ozračje, da so parali živce ljubiteljem Liverpoola. "Navijači Maribora so nas osramotili," je prek Twitterja razočarano pripomnil navijač Liverpoola z imenom Marcus.

Njegova kritika ni bila osamljena. Njegovi somišljeniki so zapisali, da si privrženci Maribora zaslužijo nagrado fair-play za vrhunsko navijanje. "Naši navijači bi morali biti bučni in pokazati gostom iz Maribora, kam so prišli. Tega nismo naredili," je potožil Joe.

Kritike so šle tako daleč, da so se nekateri izmed domačih navijačev zahvalili Slovencem, da so mrtvemu Anfieldu pokazali, kakšno bi moralo biti vzdušje na nogometnem srečanju.

Otočani navdušeni nad navijači iz Slovenije

Navijači Liverpoola niti približno niso navijali glasno od prve do zadnje minute. Foto: Reuters Navijači Maribora so si največje spoštovanje v očeh gostiteljev prislužili po tekmi, ko so po novem visokem porazu zaploskali nogometašem in se jim zahvalili za nepozabno doživetje. Milaničeva četa je dvakrat zapored izgubila proti Liverpoolu, skupna gol razlika na obeh tekmah pa je znašala 0:10, a to z lic navijačev Maribora ni izbrisalo nasmehov, še manj ponosa.

"Ko gledam, kako navijači Maribora po 0:10 pozdravljajo nogometaše, vidim bistvo nogometa," je poudaril navijač Liverpoola Matthew.

Mariborčani so se na tekmi proti klubu, ki slovi v svetu tudi zaradi zvestih in potrpežljivih navijačev, pokazali v izjemni luči. Čestitke, v katerih ni manjkalo občudovanja, so v sredo zvečer deževale po družbenih omrežjih.

Nogometaši Liverpoola so bili prepričljivi zmagovalci na zelenici (3:0), na tribunah pa je bilo razmerje moči kljub številčni prednosti domačinov veliko bolj naklonjeno Mariboru. Tako so vijolice poskrbele vsaj za eno zmago. Ni štela za točke, a je bila sladka.

Fair play to the Maribor fans, they were class. And well, they wear purple - nothing wrong with that.

@TheRedmenTV
Fans need to make some noise on a European night at Anfield, show the Maribor fans what they came here for, failed to do that.

#Maribor just got pummeled 10-0 by #LFC in two #UCL matches. But watching their fans salute them at #Anfield is why I love football.
