Torcida shamefully insulted Zlatko Dalić, the most successful Croatian selector in history

The article reports on a controversial incident during a football match between Varazdin and Hajduk Split in the first round of the SuperSport HNL league. During the second half, fans from Varazdin (Torcida) displayed a message criticizing the conditions for away fans at the Varteks stadium, calling it a 'repression under the guise of security' and accusing the organizers of treating people inhumanely. At the same time, Hajduk fans insulted Zlatko Dalić, a former Croatian national team player and long-time associate of Varazdin, by chanting 'J*bo vas Dalić,' which the article describes as 'squalid' remarks. Dalić has had a significant career with Varazdin, serving as both a player and later as a sports director and coach. The article also mentions that after the match, fans from Split ignited part of the stands behind the goal, likely leading to increased penalties for hooliganism in Varazdin. The piece highlights the ongoing tensions and negative behavior among fans, while noting that such incidents are not new in the region.

The left-hander returns to the first 11 Hajduk

Hajduk Split, nakon izgubljenog prolaska u kvalifikacijama za Europsku ligu protiv Ciprskog Pafosa, vraća se na domaću terenu za početak sezone SuperSport HNL-a. U nedjelju, tim će gostovati kod Varaždina, a trener Gonzalo Garcia priprema promjenu u sastavu. Marko Livaja, koji je do sada ulazio u utakmice kao zamjena, ponovno će biti u početnoj jedanaestorici. Odluka je donesena jer je Garcia dao prednost Micheleu Šegi u vrhu napada, ali sada Livaja dobiva priliku da se vratiti u prvih 11. Ovo može označiti početak njegove povratne role ili rotaciju momčadi, posebno uz obrazloženje da će Hajduk igrovati kvalifikacije za Konferencijsku ligu protiv Žalgirisa.

Adut Varaždina sent a clear message on the eve of Hayduk: 'We want to go back to Europe'

Varaždin, hrvatski nogometni klub, ponovno se okrene natjecanjima u SuperSport HNL-u nakon što je izgubio u drugom sastanku protiv češkog Jabloneca 0:2, što ga je isključilo iz Europskog kupova.
