There was a warning on Thursday in Nueva Condomina. Nervousness in prevention to try to make everything a party, the intention of the Ukrainians and football at the crossroads of the League of Nations, the first leg of the third step, which faced the … Belgium of Courtois, from Bruyne and Lukaku. And, despite the fact that in recent months two thousands of them have returned to their country, more than 5,000 Ukraine expatriates that currently live in the Region of Murcia and surroundings remain. Hence the decision of its federation, with the approval of the UEFA, to play this party in the capital of the Southeast Mediterranean.
And eight thousands was comfortably exceeded, despite the fact that the federative expectations of the yellow picture hoped to exceed ten thousand capacity. What really worried, mainly, was the presence of half a hundred ultras that were going to move directly from the former Soviet Republic to the clash. The rest, more than eight thousand fans -among them more than 1,000 Belgians -did not suppose a pinch of the tension that those famous radicals reflected in the organization for their displacements following theirs -that of kyiv’s dynamo is considered one of the most belligerent in the continent.
With activated alarms, all danger signs in the enclosure surroundings sought to be minimized from a week ago for a stadium not accustomed to this state of Stress after being a regular home of a First RFEF team, Real Murcia, which usually cite an average above fifteen thousand, but with hardly any conflicts. “We have been with meetings for several days, trying to have everything very controlled, from the exterior, where there will be many police officers, inside,” they say from the security of the party.
Contextualizing the event, the war situation in the Republic of the Eastern European country forced the team that trains Serguei Rebrev, mythical dance couple of Sevchenko, to establish a road map for their shocks as premises with alternatives outside its borders, and, with them, security measures against violence with which their most faithful are developed, some of them leaving their weapons in the front. Episodes like this.
The initial federative estimates associated a figure of five hundred fans to the clash, but in the end the figure was reduced by half. «They have come less than expected, although earlier than the week they were expected more. We know that they are dangerous and we play with that warning »affect the stadium’s security managers knowing that, the displacement of these acolytes usually operates all risk springs in the places they visit. “We are notified and we know what we could face, but, most importantly and what we are most aware of is the issue of banners,” they say. The control of these was, in the accesses to the stadium, the main occupation of the safety of the stadium when they accessed through Puerta Cuatro to the Queito number 5, where they were bounded for control. “They are prohibited, according to UEFA, all those that are related to Russia and Belarus,” they tell us, although the message prevails before the exposure of the international clash “is going to see many people beyond the more than eight thousand in the stadium, so we cannot pass a message that induces hate or referred to the conflict they are living”
Cyrillic alphabet
The problem, for the security in charge of this control -all Spanish, together with the help of members of FFSS and the City Local Police -has been to know what is said in a Cyrillic alphabet. «We have translators in the control center to which the photographs of the banners are instantly sent. If they are not adequate, they are requisitioned, and, in some cases, you can prevent access to its carriers, ”they say from the organization of a match whose tickets ranged between 50 and 100 euros. «Everything is delimited; From the halls, elevators, an exterior parking only for them … we do not want problems because for many of them reside in the area is a party in the conflict situation in which they live ».
