Chapter 31 The Moscow Derby is here

As the name suggests, the Moscow Derby is a match between various clubs belonging to the city of Moscow. Due to the large number of football clubs at all levels in the Moscow area and their extensive fan base, every Moscow Derby has attracted much attention.

Excluding the secondary leagues and cups, there are 12 Moscow derbies in the Russian Super League alone every season.

It can be said that the Moscow Derby is an important topic in Russian football. Due to the uneven distribution of Russian Super League teams, in addition to local fans, several major clubs in Moscow also have a considerable number of non-local fans and foreign fans. And because of the media

With widespread coverage and complicated relationships with other rival clubs, the Moscow derby never lacks excitement and excitement.

One of the most influential Moscow derby games is undoubtedly the match between Spartak Moscow and CSKA Moscow.

"Moscow Derby" is the established name of the match between these two teams.

This is also one of the oldest derby matches in Russia and even Europe.

The fan groups and home areas of the two sides are very different, which has also created countless historical grievances. The earliest record of the two sides' confrontation was in June 1922, which has been nearly a century. So far, the two sides have played against each other 192 times, including Moscow Spar.

There were 83 wins, CSKA had 72 wins, and there were 37 draws.

Another Moscow derby that has attracted much attention is the contest between Dynamo Moscow and Spartak Moscow. This is also one of the oldest existing derbies between Russia and Moscow. It is the first confrontation between the two teams in history. It still needs to be traced back.

By the quarter-finals of the Moscow Spring League on June 17, 1923, the Red Prenya team, the predecessor of Spartak Moscow, won 3-2.

In the following 72 years of history, the two teams played a total of 184 games, of which Sparta won 70 and Dynamo won 52. 62 games ended in a draw.

Among these games, 152 were official games, with a total of 479 goals, of which Sparta players scored 245 goals and Dinamo players scored 234 goals. Sparta won 20 times with a big score, while Dinamo won 20 times.

It's 15 times.

This time, Spartak Moscow faced CSKA Moscow.

Similar to rivals Dynamo Moscow, CSKA also has an official background.

The predecessor of CSKA Moscow was a ski club with a military background. This ski club was founded in 1901. Of course, this army was not the Soviet Red Army, but the Tsarist Russian team. From 1924, OLLS accepted the adaptation of the Revolutionary Military Committee.

And in 1928, the Central Army Corps, referred to as CDKA, was formally established.

In 1936, the Soviet Union established a national league, and the participating teams were mainly Moscow teams. Who supported and operated these clubs? In fact, there were team builders according to the social class at that time. There were three teams at that time

Strong teams, CSKA has a background in the army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the old team Dynamo Moscow had a strong KGB background at the time, and Spartak Moscow was regarded as a civilian team.

The official record of the Spartan team is that it was established in 1922 by the Moscow Business Federation. The background was that the Soviet regime allowed a certain degree of capitalism to be restored in the face of political crisis and economic difficulties. In addition, Lokomotiv Moscow has a background in the Ministry of Railways, and

Torpedo Moscow came from a group of workers in an arsenal in the south of the city. The league championship during that period was basically divided between Dynamo and Spartak.

From Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 to the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945, the national league was at a standstill. With the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, the CSKA Moscow team within the Soviet army played football in this environment isolated from the West.

.This period was also the golden period of CSKA. In the 7 years from 1945 to 1951, it won a total of 5 championships and 2 runner-ups in the former Soviet Union, suppressing the main rival Dynamo Moscow at the time.

The 1952 Helsinki Olympics was the first time that the Soviet Union entered the world sports arena. Since the Soviet Union did not have a national football association at that time, the CSKA team was honored to represent the Soviet Union and finally reached the semi-finals. However, due to losing to Wanderers in the play-offs

"Route" Yugoslavia, Stalin was furious and disbanded the club team. The main players of the team switched to teams such as Dynamo, Spartak, Torpedo and Lokomotiv.

After Stalin's death in 1953, the CSKA was reestablished.

After several years of political struggle, Khrushchev came to power and criticized Stalin. In 1956, the Soviet football team represented by Yashin won the Melbourne Olympics. At that time, some of the players were former CSKA players who had participated in the Olympics four years earlier.

.

It can be said that in CSKA's glory days, almost half of the Soviet team was in a similar situation to Bayern Munich.

Dynamo Moscow is half dead, so the derby between CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow is the most explosive.

Lin Supo never imagined that one day he would come to the Luzhniki Stadium as a player.

His deepest memory of the Luzhniki Stadium was that rainy night in Moscow, when Terry slipped and cried with Cristiano Ronaldo.

When one day he came here as a guest player in the league, he couldn't help but feel envious.

The best stadium in Russia right now is the Luzhniki Stadium. CSKA's major shareholder is the Russian Ministry of Defense, which has a lot of money. In comparison, Spartak, which doesn't even have a home stadium, is shabby.

What happened to the strength in recent years?

Not a bunch of poor people!

The banners displayed by the home fans severely mocked Spartak. It can be said that the fact that Spartak does not have its own stadium has become the best attack point for rival fans.

Spartak: We are the defending champions.

Opponent fans: You don’t have your own home court.

Spartak: We had the most international players in the last World Cup.

Opponent fans: You don’t have your own home court.

Spartacus: We pay the most attention.

Opponent fans: You don’t have your own home court.

Spartak: We are the people's team.

Opponent fans: You don’t have your own home court.

Spartacus:......

The last opponent we met was not a Moscow team, and they also used the stadium to mock Spartak. As a derby opponent, CSKA was equally ruthless in this matter.

A huge banner read "Welcome to Luzhniki... homeless wretches".

Lin Supo's eyes twitched when he saw it. Is this the Moscow Derby?

Damn, that's completely unreasonable.

Usually it depends on the team's championship. Only those with more championships have the right to speak. Now every time Spartak meets their opponents, they will laugh at them because they don't have their own stadium. This is completely a congenital deficiency.

Lin Supo, who has always been satisfied with his current team, finally felt Spartak's biggest weakness.

It's really unpleasant to be ridiculed by your opponent before you even play football.
