Steaua Bucuresti - Sevilla FC

Hi guys!

Some of you remember me from the threads about your matches against Betis. I was living in Bucharest in that time and I celebrated with all of you your worderful victory.

I'm living again in Seville, and right now is going there my team. Bad luck I have, guys. But I hope to manage to get there with all of you and taste the flavour of the European matches with two of my favourite teams.

I hope you have luck in the Romanian League, cause this year the "caine rosu" are strong. I was in the match Dinamo - Steaua with another Spanish friend. I remember perfectly all the incidents between your supporters and the police. It was amazing, and really sad.

It will be a nice match, and I hope that the team which gets the pass, will win the cup in Glasgow.

I guess not many Sevilla FC supporters will go to Bucharest, cause it's too early in the competition, but I hope to be with them. And I hope to see: "bine ati venit la Bucuresti" .

Well guys, see you soon, ¡la revedere!.

nice! and it will be a close game, and a nice one...

hope to be there too! and, i hope that Steaua will win! :wink:

Yeah, just a bit.

Hey Seya...how come u guys have no "ultras" fans coming to the game?

Hey Seya...how come u guys have no "ultras" fans coming to the game?

Well, it's even surprising for me, but I think there are a few reasons for it. I will try to explain them.

First of all, you have to know that our ultras go to all matches in "La Liga", which implies a lot of money and efforts. Even the club, officially, has reported that the main objective this year is to qualify for CL, so we have to get at least the fourth position in "La Liga". That's the priority this year.

This has led the people to think that UEFA Cup is not an objective this year like it was the last one. In addition, I think it's a bit early for people to excite about the competition. If we go through this round I guess more people will go to the next opponent's country.

More: Sevilla FC is not playing very well lastly. More honestly...it's playing horribly, specially when it attacks. We only scored one goal in our last matches, and the people are a bit disappointed about that. It's not a good moment for us.

And finally, and I want you to understand me clearly, so I'll try to explain this perfectly: the image of Romania in Spain is not very good, and I guess that many people consider dangerous to come here. As I wrote here before, I lived in Bucharest for a whole year, and I've travelled around your blessed country. And I adore it. But not everyone has that luck I had. Some of the Romanian people who go to Spain is not for working reasons only, and you know what I mean. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE ONLY 5% MAXIMUN, of the total number of Romanians that go there. But I know it cause I've lived here, I know Romanians, I have many Romanian friends. But if you are ignorant about something, and the only things you listen or read on the media about something is negative... that's the matter. In Spain the media is not always fair with Romanias, because of the few of you who don't behave properly there. It's exactly the same mistake like thinking that all the muslims are terrorists because some of them put bombs.

I hope I expressed clearly, and that no one feels sad about my words. It's only a problem (for both of us), and every problem has a solution.

Ok, SteauaToronto, I hope that this answered your question. I regret that no Sevilla FC ultras have come, cause the first time I went into Ghencea and saw your Peluza I felt a very similar sensation that I used to feel in the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium when I could go to the matches there.

Seiya, you shold know a bit of Romanian football history. Steaua is the Romanian Armed Forces' sport club, founded in 1947 by the Romanian Royal Army General Mihail Lascar. Our club has won the greatest number of titles, Cups, SuperCups. Also, we are the only Romanian and first East European club that won the Champions' Cup, in Seville, on May the 7th 1986. After that, we won the European SuperCup against Dynamo Kyiv and lost the Intercontinental Cup to River Plate.

Our arch enemies are Dynamo (acronym from Russian: the direction for youth surveillance). This is the club of the repression forces in our country (Police, Gendarmes, former "Militia" and "Security") and won most of their trophies by arresting and harassing the opposing players' families. Because of them, the European award for the highest scoring player came to an end. Their nickname is "the spurkies", something that can't be translated into any other language. Also, because of their connections with the Militia, they are called "the dogs", "the red dogs" or "the spurkie dogs".

Good luck to you and FC Seville. May the best team win, and may the best team be Steaua !

I did not know that.

And what is the origin of the name Steaua? I heard that is something about the Red Army, or the Soviet Army. Is it true?

Steaua means Star...

It was the army's team!

As SteauaToronto was saying, Steaua means "Star" and our team was founded by the Romanian Army (not the Red Army).

In fact, the first names of the team were "AS Army", "Central Sports Club of the Army", and in 1961 that name was changed to

"Steaua". Our first club colors were blue, yellow and red (like the national tri-color flag), but the russians made us drop one of then, so yellow was dropped.

Thank you guys, it's clear right now for me.

By the way. Is it a good idea to try to arrive Ghencea by bus?. I guess it's better to go by metro until Eroilor, and later keep walking until Ghencea. It will be a great traffic jam, won't be?

Seiya, congratulations with the win. I understand Steaua played poor and Sevilla had not real trouble. I regret it that Steaua couldnt do more in their home game. I think for them the away game is very difficult. They miss to many players and the players who are in are not playing at their level at the moment. For Sevilla it will be maybe a formality.

I hope you have had a nice time, being "back" :wink: and see your team win. Although maybe you were in the stadium with mixed feelings.

Would like to hear from you again if you are back in Spain!

You don't know how nice is for me to read your answer in this moment. I'm just eating a shaorma I took in Piata Romana. It's 4:42, and my flight is going back to Madrid (where I live and work, though I'm from Seville, where I lived before coming to work to Bucharest last year) at 7:30. When I finish writing this e-mail, I'll call a taxi company, maybe Taxi 2000, maybe Confort Taxi, maybe Leone Taxi, and I will go to Baneasa, to take my BlueAir flight to Madrid. And I'm so mixed of feelings... you don't know about that. I wolud like Steaua to win the Intercontinental Cup man, and all of you (with me, for sure) enjoying that moment. But, in addition, I would like my team, FC Sevilla, to win everything, and in some way, I would like you to enjoy that. I know it's impossible, but I know you, and I know Sevilla fans, and we are so similar in the way we feel football. I hope you can take Dinamo in your league, and you win whatever you play, less the matches you play against Sevilla (and I know you understand me).

And, by the way, enjoy, all of you, of your amazing country. I've travelled a lot around Romania, and I can tell you, you have a really beautiful country. I would like to have money and time enough to travel slowly around Romania, studying all the places, personalities and history about your wonderful country.

I have many Spanish friends that feel like me about Romania. One of them is writing here: http://rumania.wordpress.com. He's a good guy, though sometimes he is critic with the political or social situation. But I can assure you that he feels like another Romanian, though he is Spanish.

Greetings for all of you, ¡¡Forza Steaua, and Forza Sevilla!!

Seiya, sorry for not answering you sooner... did you like your shaorma bought from Piata Romana ? Congratulations for the victory by the way, but be prepared for the 2nd leg, you never know for sure what's going to happen.

I'm really happy that you enjoyed your stay here, but I'm guessing that you found it quite different from what you were used to in Spain. Our city (once called "The little Paris") was wrecked by the communists, people are pretty poor and sometimes unfriendly (especially in Bucharest), etc. Also, I assume that our stadium didn't impress you in a pleasant manner, we're way back with our infrastructure. Hope to hear from you soon !

feanfan, Steaua Supporters' Independent Association started its activity, you'll soon be able to join if you will want to.

Yeah, sure I liked it, better writen, I like them, cause every day I used to eat there... you know, fast and cheap.

Yeah, man, I knew that, I wrote before that I was living in Bucharest a whole year, and I travelled a lot around Romania. Man, you don't know how much I miss your country, right now, working in Spain. So, it's not so bad finally...

And, ending, I want to tell you that I don't think we are in the last 16. It's a match in front of us and we have to play it. And, in addition, it will be in Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, and I know you have reasons to believe in magic there.

We'll see 8O .

We'll see 8O .

Be a bit more optimistic for your team Seiya!! You made it! It must have been magic, 1-0 was enough.

I understand Steaua didnt play there best game, I think they have a rough time at the moment.

Were you at the stadium? I havent seen anything yet, no highlights I mean, I understood the game wasnt on TV so everyone on here has to listen to the radio or watch onlinesport (which was overcrowded when I wanted to look at it :? )

Congratulations and good luck with Sevilla this season!

Yes, Steaua's game is not great at the moment. There's a lack of imagination on the pitch, and most of the supporters think it's coach Cosmin Olaroiu's fault. Dica's injury made it even worse for us.

We'll have to concentrate on the championship and domestic cup.

Good luck Sevilla!

Ok, first of all guys: good luck against red dogs, though they wear Sevilla colors, I prefer Steaua in Romania; that´s for sure.

It´s not I wasn´t confident on my team, it´s only that I try to be respectful: football will always be football, eleven men versus eleven men... you never know. I didn´t want to understimate Steaua, only for bad season in the domestic league.

It´s obvious that UEFA Cup this year is stronger than the last one, but I guess our players will try their best for taking the second one. I hope it at least.

The problem of TV: Sevilla has a big problem with the TV which owns the rights for the UEFA matches at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The only European match on TV I´ve watched last year it was the semi-final versus Schalke04 (by the way I watched it in the casino of Dacia), and it was only because a German TV went to Seville and bought the rights only for Germany.

It´s incredible, but the UEFA Cup and UEFA Supercup holder doesn´t have its European matches in its stadium on the TV :? .

m... sevilla, la dracu cu voi spanioloi idioti, ati avut noroc cu arbitru nenorocitilor
