[00:00:00] "The height and proximity of the Danube mean a lot for wine
[00:00:03] production. How did the story of your winery begin,
[00:00:07] how did you start? Here, mostly everyone is involved in
[00:00:10] wine production, that is, grapes.
[00:00:13] After the war, we started doing it a bit more
[00:00:17] seriously. So, around 2000, we returned home here from
[00:00:20] Vinkovci. When we returned, everything was mostly destroyed,
[00:00:24] demolished. We started with small vineyards from our parents,
[00:00:27] then we actively started planting. At one point,
[00:00:31] we planted 7 hectares in one year,
[00:00:34] and now we are mostly doing that.
[00:00:37] Family business, purely family business.
[00:00:40] Yes, this is our winery, a wine tasting
[00:00:43] room, a small cellar where we also hold tastings
[00:00:47] when it's very hot. Mostly,
[00:00:51] this is all for relaxation. We also have sleeping rooms here.
[00:00:54] We bought this house, renovated it. Otherwise,
[00:00:58] it's an old house, a hundred something years old. Then my wife
[00:01:01] and I slowly started renovating it. This
[00:01:05] started, I don't know, from the kitchen, then the tasting
[00:01:08] room, then a small winery, then we kept upgrading it
[00:01:12] every year, upgrading it. Now we have reached
[00:01:15] a level where you can even live off this
[00:01:19] winery.
[00:01:27] In the far east of Croatia, high above
[00:01:30] the Danube, lies Ilok, a town whose
[00:01:34] name has carried the scent of wine, history, and
[00:01:38] encounters of different cultures for centuries. The renovated
[00:01:41] city walls, the old monastery, the castle, and
[00:01:44] the vineyards sloping down towards the Danube create
[00:01:48] a unique backdrop for the town, where past and
[00:01:51] present meet at every step. Here,
[00:01:55] every view opens a new story, every stone
[00:01:58] preserves a trace of the past. Vineyards still remain
[00:02:02] one of the most important symbols of life in this region.
[00:02:06] When you come to the town of Ilok, you can see the Odescalchi
[00:02:10] castle, you can see our church of St.
[00:02:13] John of Capistrano. St. John of Capistrano is also the patron saint
[00:02:17] of our town. Known for defending all of
[00:02:21] Western Europe in the 15th century, specifically
[00:02:25] 1456, from the Turks near
[00:02:29] Belgrade. He is our patron saint, he died in
[00:02:32] Ilok and is buried here. What
[00:02:35] is interesting about our town is that the bells throughout
[00:02:39] Croatia and across Europe ring exactly at noon
[00:02:42] precisely because that was the time when Belgrade
[00:02:46] under the leadership of St. John of Capistrano was defended from
[00:02:49] the Ottomans. The then Pope ordered that, in gratitude,
[00:02:53] the bells should ring at 12 o'clock
[00:02:57] to pray. The town is known for
[00:03:00] its wines, we have over 20
[00:03:04] registered wineries and tasting rooms. We have
[00:03:07] larger and smaller ones, but they all operate, and you
[00:03:10] can visit each
[00:03:13] Maccabi had barely started, and one. Our town is one of
[00:03:16] the few towns in the Republic of Croatia that can actually
[00:03:20] boast, or rather, pride itself on being
[00:03:24] a royal town, because it
[00:03:26] paper anyway. And in the midst was ruled by King Nicholas of Ilok, King of Bosnia. It is also
[00:03:30] a princely town, because in the 17th century,
[00:03:34] the Odescalchi princely family settled
[00:03:39] endures. Metalac, here. They had European prestige at the time, and it is a town that has a statute that is
[00:03:42] more than five centuries old, meaning
[00:03:46] for over five centuries, the town of Ilok has lived an orderly
[00:03:49] life, with established legal
[00:03:52] regulations. We are truly very
[00:03:56] proud of that part. The history of Ilok is not written only
[00:03:59] in its walls, castles, and churches; it is
[00:04:03] also preserved deep beneath the earth, in spaces where
[00:04:06] for centuries, one of the most famous symbols
[00:04:10] of this region has been created: wine. Ilok
[00:04:13] Cellars is a place where the tradition of viticulture
[00:04:16] has been preserved for generations. Their corridors and barrels
[00:04:21] other things, in the next hour on remember decades of creation, but also the most difficult periods this
[00:04:24] town has gone through. Welcome to Ilok, welcome to
[00:04:28] the easternmost town of Croatia, as it is called,
[00:04:31] the wine historical town of Ilok, Dubrovnik
[00:04:36] position in of Syrmia, due to its rich cultural and historical heritage, long tradition of winemaking
[00:04:39] and viticulture. In a way,
[00:04:41] they compare
[00:04:44] us to Dubrovnik. We are now in
[00:04:48] Ilok Cellars, at the entrance to the old
[00:04:51] wine cellars. The history of viticulture in this
[00:04:55] area is long, dating back to the Roman
[00:04:58] Empire. That's when, in fact, the production of noble
[00:05:01] wine varieties began. Wine production began,
[00:05:05] but organized production
[00:05:08] begins with the arrival of the Odescalchi family
[00:05:11] in the early 18th century. However, the oldest
[00:05:14] part of these cellars dates back
[00:05:18] to the 15th century, actually from the time of Nicholas
[00:05:21] of Ilok. That's the last part of the cellar that
[00:05:25] was built under the castle, today the Odescalchi
[00:05:28] castle, but originally built in the 15th
[00:05:30] century. With the continuation, or rather, the arrival
[00:05:34] of the Odescalchi, the Italian princely family of Odescalchi, who
[00:05:37] received Ilok and this part of Syrmia
[00:05:40] as their property
[00:05:42] after these areas were liberated from the Turks, they
[00:05:46] expanded the wine cellars, that is, expanded
[00:05:49] the capacities, brought new varieties, increased production,
[00:05:52] and thus expanded the wine cellars. Besides this upper
[00:05:56] cellar, there is another part of the cellar that
[00:05:59] is under today's restaurant. Previously, the entire
[00:06:03] production facility was here. That
[00:06:06] other cellar was built in the second half of the 18th century, and
[00:06:10] it is 12 meters underground, also a cellar with
[00:06:14] a constant temperature. However, that part of the cellar today
[00:06:17] actually no longer
[00:06:21] serves for aging wine. It contains
[00:06:24] archival
[00:06:26] wines. This cellar preserves
[00:06:30] a rich archive, archival wines
[00:06:33] which, as you can see,
[00:06:36] age in this part of the cellar where the conditions are ideal. Here
[00:06:39] we have an archive that dates back
[00:06:43] to after the Second World War. In fact, the oldest archival wine is Traminac from
[00:06:47] 1947. It is a known fact that from
[00:06:50] these cellars in 1953,
[00:06:53] 11 bottles of Traminac were ordered and delivered
[00:06:57] to the English court, which was served at the coronation of
[00:07:00] Queen Elizabeth
[00:07:02] II.
[00:07:05] So, this cellar was actually renovated after the Homeland
[00:07:08] War. The barrels were renovated, and it now
[00:07:11] has a capacity of about 150,000 liters,
[00:07:15] but sometime before the war, the cellar's
[00:07:18] capacity was around 700,000
[00:07:20] liters. These barrels around us are actually,
[00:07:24] we say, newer,
[00:07:27] newer vintage, meaning we started ordering new
[00:07:30] barrels in stages, part by part, around 2000,
[00:07:34] and putting them into use, because our old barrels were destroyed
[00:07:38] during the occupation, during the Homeland War, in such a way that
[00:07:42] they were emptied of wine, left, neglected,
[00:07:45] unmaintained, so we actually had to
[00:07:48] simply discard them after the war and order
[00:07:52] new ones. In the most difficult moments for
[00:07:56] Ilok, when everything that testified to its
[00:07:58] history was threatened with destruction, one man
[00:08:02] decided to preserve what was most valuable. That
[00:08:05] was Franjo Wolf, the long-time cellarman
[00:08:08] of Ilok cellars, a man who by his actions
[00:08:11] preserved a part of the wine heritage
[00:08:14] that today represents an invaluable treasure. Mr. Franjo,
[00:08:18] in '91, you participated
[00:08:20] in something incredible, saving,
[00:08:24] perhaps the most valuable thing, or an priceless thing, for Ilok
[00:08:28] cellars and for Croatian winemaking. Can you
[00:08:30] tell us something about it? Well, I can,
[00:08:33] let's say in '91, when it
[00:08:36] was already known that we would have to leave
[00:08:39] Ilok. An idea came from the late director
[00:08:42] Jurus, and a few of us decided
[00:08:46] to wall up the wine cellar
[00:08:48] to
[00:08:51] save something if possible. So that night,
[00:08:55] we brought bricks and walled it up overnight.
[00:08:57] And the scene has that
[00:09:00] patina, so they threw some of that on the wall so that
[00:09:04] it wouldn't be noticed so much that it was a new wall and
[00:09:08] walled up, because now you can see the new
[00:09:11] iron door there, but no one suspected
[00:09:14] what was hidden behind that wall, which
[00:09:18] was falsely old. Yes, well, I
[00:09:21] stayed here, whether
[00:09:24] by luck or misfortune.
[00:09:27] No one asked where that wine cellar was,
[00:09:31] they didn't even know it existed. Luckily, they didn't even know, because they saw
[00:09:34] they had a lot of wine in the cellar, they took
[00:09:38] some of it, but it was little.
[00:09:41] When it returned, or rather, we opened
[00:09:45] it again, new shelves, everything renovated,
[00:09:49] and now you see how neat and beautiful
[00:09:52] it is. They didn't touch the barrels. What wine was
[00:09:55] in them, they took it to the new
[00:09:59] cellar upstairs, some of it they bottled, but it must
[00:10:02] be known that we didn't have buyers in
[00:10:05] Serbia, mostly here in Croatia and
[00:10:09] Slovenia. So they made
[00:10:13] brandy from pure wine.
[00:10:16] They bought two stills of 500 liters, and day and night,
[00:10:20] Saturday and Sunday, it was distilled.
[00:10:23] Every ten days or so,
[00:10:25] it went to Subotica
[00:10:28] for about 6-7 liters of brandy. The barrels are all
[00:10:31] now renovated, and they contain wine.
[00:10:35] There will be more wine. Great, mostly premium wines
[00:10:39] are brought here
[00:10:41] into barrels.
[00:10:44] After the stories we heard in Ilok cellars,
[00:10:47] it's time for the most beautiful side of tradition, the one
[00:10:51] that gathers people around the table. At the beautiful
[00:10:55] Principovac location, among the vineyards, with a view of
[00:10:58] the Ilok landscape, we continue our gathering with one of
[00:11:02] the most famous dishes of this region, fiš, because
[00:11:06] in Slavonia and Syrmia, food is never just
[00:11:09] a meal; it is part of customs, gatherings, and
[00:11:12] stories that are passed down. As the
[00:11:15] cauldron slowly heats up, we discover the secret
[00:11:19] of good fiš, from the choice of fish and
[00:11:22] spices to experience and love for the tradition that
[00:11:25] is preserved in every
[00:11:27] cauldron.
[00:11:31] If food is medicine, then it matters what we prepare
[00:11:34] food in. We have chosen high-quality
[00:11:37] enameled cookware from Metalac.
[00:11:55] We will cook traditional Syrmian fish stew from river
[00:11:58] fish. The necessary ingredients for traditional
[00:12:02] fish stew are fish heads from catfish and
[00:12:05] carp, onion, sugar,
[00:12:08] salt, pureed cooked tomatoes, sweet ground
[00:12:12] paprika, hot ground paprika, and Graševina wine. The
[00:12:15] process of making traditional Syrmian fish stew is that we first put water in
[00:12:19] the cauldron, then we put the heads of carp and
[00:12:22] catfish. When they boil well and release their
[00:12:25] aroma, then we add
[00:12:27] onions.
[00:12:30] When the onions have simmered, that is, boiled for 45
[00:12:33] minutes, then we add the spices and aromas that we
[00:12:37] have prepared for that
[00:12:38] fish stew.
[00:12:43] When that boils, then we add the catfish cubes that we
[00:12:46] have prepared, that is, it will be a fish stew without
[00:12:49] bones.
[00:12:51] Every journey eventually ends, but some
[00:12:55] places remain in memory much longer than the stay itself.
[00:12:59] Vukovar-Srijem County showed us its
[00:13:02] history, natural beauties, and flavors with which it preserves
[00:13:05] its identity. But most of all, we will remember
[00:13:09] the people we met. This is a region where
[00:13:13] the past is respected, and the future is built
[00:13:16] with love. Because it is precisely people who give
[00:13:19] every place its special value. This was
[00:13:23] Vukovar-Srijem County.
[00:13:25] One of the most beautiful stories of Croatia.
[00:13:47] It reminds me of childhood, of Sunday lunch, the joy
[00:13:51] of gathering. In her life, only
[00:13:55] your happiness is important, let
[00:13:57] everything change, she will always be there,
[00:14:01] because what is valuable
[00:14:33] Dear viewers, welcome to the 82nd edition of "Scanner of the Week". I am Ilija
[00:14:37] Kovačić, I am Ivan Govedarica. Before you is the sports review
[00:14:40] of the week through the prism of Sport Klub journalists. Here's what you'll be watching, among
[00:14:46] n1.
[00:14:49] Crvena Zvezda and Partizan are in a period of great Euroleague
[00:14:52] challenges. In the double round, each match carries a special
[00:14:55] weight, every point won can be important
[00:14:59] in the fight for the best possible
[00:15:01] the standings.
[00:15:03] Events in the Football Association of Serbia are, due to a combination
[00:15:06] of circumstances, in the background, but no less
[00:15:10] important, and the elections open many questions about the future
[00:15:14] direction of Serbian football: who will take responsibility,
[00:15:17] what changes can follow, and what awaits
[00:15:20] national and club football.
[00:15:25] "Not all champions had to be the top favorites to
[00:15:29] make history. Stan Wawrinka, a man of devastating
[00:15:33] backhand, great heart, is saying goodbye to professional
[00:15:36] tennis and leaves behind three Grand Slam titles and
[00:15:40] matches that are not
[00:15:42] forgotten.
[00:15:45] For years, he confirmed his class with goals, and now he is in the spotlight
[00:15:49] and fighting for the biggest individual
[00:15:52] awards. Harry Kane and the story of the Golden Ball
[00:15:55] raise the question of how important goals, trophies,
[00:15:59] and influence on the game are when choosing the best
[00:16:02] footballer on the planet.
[00:16:06] Partizan once again turns to a man who knows well
[00:16:09] the weight of the black-and-white jersey and the pressure that the
[00:16:13] bench in Humska carries. Aleksandar Stanojević has returned to
[00:16:16] the position of head coach, and great challenges,
[00:16:20] fans' expectations, and the task of restoring
[00:16:23] stability and a recognizable identity to the
[00:16:26] team lie ahead of him.
[00:16:28] All deadlines for submitting candidacies related to the election for president
[00:16:32] of the Football Association of Serbia have expired. There are no candidates.
[00:16:35] The assembly is scheduled for
[00:16:37] November, but it seems that instead of a president, we will get
[00:16:41] FIFA monitoring. That is the topic for the next "Scanner of the Week", and this
[00:16:45] time Maja Todić dealt with unraveling the tangle of how
[00:16:49] politics led football to this
[00:16:51] situation.
[00:16:54] The elections are over, the parliamentary ones, but presidential
[00:16:58] elections await us as well, both at the republic level and in
[00:17:01] the Football Association of Serbia. Although they shouldn't have any
[00:17:05] connection, we all know that the story of mixing politics and sports is just
[00:17:09] a fairy tale for small children, at least for some time to come. While
[00:17:13] the eyes of the entire football world were fixed on the events at the World
[00:17:16] Cup in football, Serbian football was dealing with the elections for
[00:17:20] the president of the Football Association. The elections were
[00:17:23] scheduled for June 24th, then postponed, then
[00:17:26] September 2nd was mentioned, but the names of the candidates were hidden from
[00:17:30] the public. Now we know that that's because there weren't any.
[00:17:34] The deadline for electing a new president is officially October
[00:17:37] 31st, although that date can change if the electoral assembly
[00:17:41] is constituted, and it was clear that that date became
[00:17:44] slippery from the start. It was the end of July when the processes
[00:17:48] in all football organizations were completed and when lists of
[00:17:51] delegates were sent to the association, all except the list
[00:17:54] of the Belgrade Football Association. And then it was known why that was,
[00:17:58] they were waiting for a nod from the man who at that time had much bigger worries than
[00:18:02] football, which he had recently dominated. On the first day of
[00:18:05] September, we all knew that Dragan Džajić and Nikola
[00:18:09] Lazetić, former vice-president of the Football Association,
[00:18:13] Branislav Nedimović, were registered as delegates for the Belgrade
[00:18:16] Football Association. Branko Radujko was not among the delegates.
[00:18:19] But there were no candidates, they were waiting for the same, a nod from the then
[00:18:23] president of the country, Aleksandar Vučić, and the then
[00:18:26] president was not in the mood for winking. The leading figures
[00:18:29] of Serbian football, practically every single one of them, owe their careers in
[00:18:33] football to political connections and ties, powerless to
[00:18:36] do anything on their own. They did nothing except
[00:18:40] constantly postpone what had already been postponed, so for the date
[00:18:43] of the constitutive session, we got October 17th. From the list
[00:18:47] of delegates, Dragan Džajić's name was crossed out, and Zvezdan
[00:18:51] Terzić's name was added. The media again started mentioning Branko
[00:18:54] Radujko, a man who did not meet the conditions even when he was appointed
[00:18:58] general secretary, but the statute is just a dead letter on
[00:19:04] of all that, because it was time for the election campaign, the one at the state
[00:19:07] level, everything was postponed until November. If anyone until then
[00:19:11] had doubted what was being waited for in the Football Association, there was
[00:19:15] no longer any dilemma. The session was scheduled for November
[00:19:18] 14th, 20 days after the parliamentary elections. Presumably,
[00:19:21] the Football Association hoped that this would give them enough time to
[00:19:25] finally get the necessary instructions. Then the news
[00:19:28] that followed saddened every true lover of what
[00:19:32] remains of football in our country: Nikola Lazetić
[00:19:35] could be the president of the Football Association of Serbia if
[00:19:39] the Serbian Progressive Party wins the parliamentary
[00:19:42] elections. A soldier of the once ruling party, he probably earned
[00:19:46] this honor by visiting the tent settlement in Pionirski Park,
[00:19:50] where he was often a welcome guest. Perhaps the bonus
[00:19:53] was that he very actively, again contrary to the rules of the Football
[00:19:57] Association of Serbia, participated in Aleksandar Vučić's campaign for
[00:20:00] the parliamentary elections. He probably thought that at the same time it could also be his
[00:20:04] presidential campaign. The boomerang
[00:20:08] hit Lazetić on October 25th at
[00:20:12] 9:35 PM.
[00:20:14] Vučić and the SNS are gone, Čačilend is no more, and
[00:20:17] neither is Lazetić's candidacy. The reception
[00:20:21] center for sycophants of the overthrown regime will be radically
[00:20:24] changed. How and who will change it, how much work
[00:20:27] awaits those new people, no one knows. It's not hard to imagine
[00:20:31] who all the people from the association are calling these days with the question
[00:20:34] of what to do. We also know what some of the answers were. The deadline
[00:20:38] for submitting candidacies is expiring. Will the elections be
[00:20:42] postponed again? We'll have to see. Those honorable and professional
[00:20:45] people who have been a minority in the association for a very long time,
[00:20:49] hope for some unexpected solution that appears suddenly and resolves
[00:20:52] the matter. The others hope that someone will answer the phone and
[00:20:56] say, "Look, here's the deal." But
[00:20:58] they won't. For "Scanner of the Week", Maja
[00:21:01] Todić.
[00:21:08] He's back, he's staying, who would have thought that Partizan fans would see him again
[00:21:12] in Humska so soon, just two years after the debacle in
[00:21:15] the eternal derby and the end of his third coaching mandate, he arrived to
[00:21:19] save what could be saved, although it is already certain that this season
[00:21:23] is lost for Partizan. Qualification for Europe currently looks
[00:21:26] like a very difficult mission. The arrival of Aleksandar Stanojević is the club's
[00:21:30] last attempt to avoid historical embarrassment. Nikola
[00:21:34] Stamenić will explain how
[00:21:36] it all looks.
[00:21:39] It's not that history doesn't remember this, but it's certainly a rarity.
[00:21:42] Aleksandar Stanojević has become Partizan coach for the fourth time. Before
[00:21:46] him, only Ilješki Špic and Kiril Simon
[00:21:50] Simonovski had so many engagements on the black-and-white bench.
[00:21:53] He was a favorite of most Partizan fans and a symbol of a successful
[00:21:56] period for the club, but over time he lost the sympathy of a good portion of those
[00:22:00] people. Mostly because he agreed to become coach in
[00:22:03] 2024, during the Vazura and Vučelić
[00:22:07] administration. They accused him of selling the story
[00:22:10] of Partizan's liberation, so there were more and more people calling him
[00:22:14] Sir Shamrock, remembering the big failure towards the end of his first
[00:22:17] engagement. However, what cannot be taken away from
[00:22:21] Stanojević is that in 2010 he led the club to the Champions League.
[00:22:24] It cannot be denied that he fought fiercely for Partizan in a specific
[00:22:28] way, without sparing energy. Emotions sometimes helped,
[00:22:32] sometimes they cost him. He would probably have become the selector of Serbia
[00:22:35] long ago if he had not allowed himself to sing an offensive song
[00:22:39] against Crvena Zvezda along with the players. That incident opened a fierce front with
[00:22:43] Zvezda fans that has followed him to this day. Sometimes boundaries were
[00:22:46] crossed, especially incendiary was in the spring of
[00:22:50] 2022, when Partizan was a big contender for
[00:22:53] the title. His second engagement ended with him being sent
[00:22:56] off with posters and shouting, and if he had known how bad the third one would be,
[00:23:00] he certainly wouldn't have returned. He fell in the eyes of some
[00:23:03] Partizan fans, on the field European defeats, a debacle in
[00:23:07] Humska against Zvezda by 0-4, leading to shouts of
[00:23:09] "Stano, leave!" Nevertheless, he returned much sooner than
[00:23:13] expected, and it seems he now has nothing to lose. Simply,
[00:23:17] it can't get any worse than what Partizan has done so far
[00:23:20] in the championship.
[00:23:26] Bayern Munich footballer Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or at
[00:23:30] the jubilee 70th ceremony of the prestigious
[00:23:32] individual football award held in London.
[00:23:36] Kane is the first Englishman to be officially declared the best
[00:23:39] footballer on the planet since Michael Owen in 2001.
[00:23:43] More details in Aleksandar
[00:23:45] Pivljanin's report.
[00:23:48] Harry Kane is the best footballer in 2026.
[00:23:51] The English footballer has finally received this prestigious award,
[00:23:55] which he has long deserved for his playing qualities. There is enough time
[00:23:59] for his main rivals this year, Kylian Mbappé,
[00:24:02] especially Lamine Yamal, to win the popular Ballon d'Or.
[00:24:05] Now it's Harry Kane's turn. This 30-year-old led
[00:24:09] mighty Bayern to another German championship title, the cup, and
[00:24:13] German Supercup, and delivered phenomenal performances in the Champions League at
[00:24:17] the recently concluded World Cup in the United States. Kane scored
[00:24:21] 36 goals in the Bundesliga, found the net 14 times
[00:24:24] against Champions League rivals in just 13 matches, while at the
[00:24:28] World Cup, as captain, he led England to third place and scored six
[00:24:31] goals. In the past season, he scored a total of
[00:24:34] 61 goals for Bayern in all competitions and 12 goals for
[00:24:38] the Three Lions. He was the most effective striker in the German
[00:24:41] championship, and the second most effective in the Champions League.
[00:24:45] Harry Kane has come a long way. As a boy, his beloved Arsenal
[00:24:48] dismissed him and failed to see his immense talent, only for Harry to become
[00:24:52] the best footballer of the current generation in England, even considering
[00:24:55] a longer period of time. He seized the opportunity at Tottenham, which
[00:24:58] he joined at the age of 12, the biggest and fiercest rival of the Gunners, who
[00:25:02] didn't realize in time what a gem they had in their youth categories. He became
[00:25:06] a club legend and top scorer, but many even
[00:25:10] challenged him because he could never win a trophy with Tottenham, even though
[00:25:13] the Champions League final of 2019
[00:25:16] is remembered. Four years after
[00:25:19] that, he joined mighty Bayern and immediately proved to be a complete
[00:25:23] success. Bayern Leverkusen, then led by Xabi Alonso,
[00:25:26] figuratively snatched the league title in the Bundesliga from the Munich giants,
[00:25:30] but that surge was short-lived. Bayern is currently absolutely
[00:25:33] unrivaled in Germany, and Kane is the best striker every season and
[00:25:37] an undisputed MVP. His game vision and
[00:25:40] passing abilities would not shame even the best creators, and that
[00:25:44] from a time when football tolerated an entire category of players
[00:25:47] who built incredible careers solely on that skill.
[00:25:50] Around players like Kane, both because of his quality and
[00:25:53] because of the lack of unique valuable skills he possesses, the tactics of
[00:25:57] the teams he leads are built. That's why it's not surprising that Vincent Kompany
[00:26:00] at Bayern, and England selector Gareth Southgate, give Harry complete freedom
[00:26:04] in positioning and dropping back for the ball, even deep into his own half.
[00:26:08] In support of him as the most advanced player, the midfielders
[00:26:11] and wingers feed off his creativity and the space he creates.
[00:26:14] opens. Kane is the first Ballon d'Or winner from the Bundesliga after
[00:26:18] three decades. And the author of the most efficient individual season
[00:26:21] ever seen in a Bayern jersey. Since joining the club, he has scored
[00:26:24] an incredible 156 goals in 158 matches,
[00:26:27] and the past season was the crowning achievement of his
[00:26:31] career so far. Hats off, Harry,
[00:26:33] congratulations.
[00:26:42] That miracle happened, London stopped. The selection of the best in
[00:26:45] football in 2026 stopped the capital
[00:26:49] of England, at least in the evening hours of October
[00:26:52] 26th. Sport klub was on the spot, and Branko
[00:26:56] Spasović will show what it looked like behind
[00:26:59] the scenes.
[00:27:01] France Football and UF organized the 70th edition of the Ballon d'Or.
[00:27:04] The popular Golden Ball came to London for the first time, and there
[00:27:08] was a miracle. The area around the London Palladium where the
[00:27:11] ceremony was held, the entire Oxford Street, the most popular in the United
[00:27:15] Kingdom, recently converted into an exclusive pedestrian zone,
[00:27:18] was under blockade. And while the hosts and organizers nervously
[00:27:22] blinked, constantly postponing the start of the ceremonial ceremony on
[00:27:26] the Red Carpet and the area in front of the Palladium, the temperature was getting
[00:27:30] hotter and hotter. It didn't reach boiling point, but it
[00:27:33] warmed up all of London. It was felt all the way to Piccadilly, the Golden
[00:27:37] Ball moved West minister, Paddington,
[00:27:40] Kensington, and even Hyde Park from the center. Vigo Stoičkov,
[00:27:44] Ronaldo, Mijatović, Shearer, Raven, Shevchenko, Capello, Belanov,
[00:27:47] Van der Sar, Vieira, Zanetti Matthäus, Weah, Saka,
[00:27:51] Jamal, Kane, Mbappé, all in one place. Far from the field
[00:27:55] in pictures louder than words. A special impression
[00:27:59] was left by the first winner Harry Kane. The guy who is already
[00:28:02] a symbol of London and the proud English national team, celebrated
[00:28:06] deep into the night with his closest ones, family, brother, father
[00:28:10] and mother, friends from the surroundings until the early morning hours, proud of
[00:28:13] the trophy of the best in the world, he even appeared on one of
[00:28:17] the prestigious London hotels. The Golden Loft got a new face
[00:28:21] there where it is most beautiful in the heart of England. The phenomenon
[00:28:23] of the most popular sport in the world grew even more in
[00:28:27] a specific atmosphere in honor of the first winner Stanley
[00:28:30] Matthews before a crowd of curious people of all
[00:28:33] generations. The jubilee 70th edition, organized for the first time
[00:28:36] in London, carried a message of equally proud
[00:28:39] French people. The Ballon d'Or, its place is in Paris, and it is. And
[00:28:43] messages from London, we witnessed them on the spot, echoed throughout
[00:28:47] the world.
[00:28:54] Crvena Zvezda basketball players, in the first game of the Euroleague double round this
[00:28:58] week, defeated Maccabi without major problems with a score of one hundred to
[00:29:02] 78, and Stefan Dinić brings us
[00:29:05] the commentary of that match.
[00:29:08] Crvena Zvezda, as never before this season, showed what a force it can
[00:29:12] be. The match in the Belgrade Arena against
[00:29:15] the red and whites used every attack in the first three minutes, which
[00:29:19] forced the opposing coach Oded Kattash to call a timeout. The minute of rest
[00:29:23] suited Zvezda better, who continued in the same rhythm, burying the opponent's
[00:29:27] basket. The way points were scored was perfect,
[00:29:30] Christian Koloko's dunks were after assists, well-constructed three-point
[00:29:34] shots were accurate, and only later came those that were a result
[00:29:38] of good rhythm and a high degree of self-confidence.
[00:29:42] The opponent was on their knees, the match was decided in 10 minutes. Describing a match like
[00:29:45] this is too easy and simple, so we will deal with some other
[00:29:49] things. Tyson Carter had his best match in the red and white jersey.
[00:29:53] He is the only player who has been a starter in all Euroleague matches,
[00:29:57] and Navarro often gave him a chance to solve situations after
[00:30:00] a timeout. Trust is not in question. Carter is Navarro's man,
[00:30:03] but that trust was also painful in some earlier
[00:30:07] periods. The entry into the duel with Partizan was terrible, as was the one with
[00:30:10] Zalgiris and Hapoel in the first two rounds. The Spanish coach often
[00:30:14] emphasizes that the game is a marathon, not a sprint, but in the mentioned matches
[00:30:17] sprinters always gained an insurmountable advantage. On
[00:30:20] Tuesday evening, Zvezda was a sprinter, but with Christian Koloko at
[00:30:24] the center position. The Cameroonian is a great athlete and
[00:30:27] completely different in playing skills from all his other teammates who compete
[00:30:31] for that spot on the team. Situations when, after a pick-and-roll, it's
[00:30:35] two on one against the opponent's center, could not be finished as easily
[00:30:39] with lob passes, but with slower, lower ones, and often to
[00:30:42] semi-detached. No matter how much he meant to his team in both directions,
[00:30:46] the Nigerian is not Superman, and because of that, the attack suffered greatly.
[00:30:49] Now, after a few dunks, the court became wider, so it was easier
[00:30:53] to get open positions for outside shots. However, it should be taken
[00:30:57] into account that Maccabi is a team with the worst defensive rating.
