The Serbian media were properly "burned" by the statement of Dynamo Kyiv about the cancellation of all bilateral events during the first match between the two clubs in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, which took place yesterday in Lublin and ended with a 6-2 victory of the Ukrainian team.
The country's publications are full of loud headlines, but the SportKlub website, which was the only Serbian media outlet working at the venue of the match, was the most snot and tears washed away.
First, this publication did not like the behavior of Ukrainian journalists during the pre-match press conference of Partizan head coach Aleksandar Stanojevic.
"The intolerance of Ukrainian representatives towards Partizan delegation is felt in Lublin. There were Ukrainian journalists at Aleksandar Stanojevic's pre-match press conference, but they sat at the very end of the press room and did not want to communicate with the Partizan coach without asking him a single question," reads the website's note.
The representatives of this publication were also indignant about the post-match events, in connection with which they published a material with the following title: "Disgusting attitude of Dynamo to Serbian media: no translation for you".
"Dynamo Kyiv showed a great result against Partizan (6:2), but even that didn't help their attitude towards Serbian media, at least at the post-match press conference.
Oleksandr Shovkovskiy came to the press conference first, he started his address with the words "Glory to Ukraine!" and answered the questions of Ukrainian media, though - without translation into English!
When the SportKlub team asked if anyone could translate into English what the Kyiv coach said, everyone shook their heads and answered - "only in Ukrainian".
Dynamo representatives left several questions unanswered and then left the press-hall without saying a word. Incorrect behavior and completely out of protocol, especially when you know what big club we are talking about," the offended media wrote.
