Debate Topic, Part Ten

Topic

Macedonian and former Yugoslavian striker Darko Pancev was considered a massive flop while at Internazionale Milano (1992/94).

He has maintained that his failure at Inter was because the team ‘Senators’ (Zenga, Bergomi, Ferri) were opposed to him and forced the Manager (Osvaldo Bagnoli)’s hand.

There have been other cases such as Sammer, Scifo and Bergkamp, where foreign superstars were unable to  make it at Inter.

When Sammer returned to German Football after half a season, former Inter player and Germany Captain Lothar Matthaus defended him and criticized Inter for dispensing of Sammer instead of looking at their Italian old guard.

So was there really a culture at Inter, where the veteran Italians dictated the handling of foreigners or is it just an excuse?

2-During the Friendly match between France and England Amateurs on November 1, 1906 (0-15 England win), England were awarded a penalty kick after France’s Fernand Canelle committed an involuntary handball in the area.

As a gesture of fair play, England’s Vivian Woodward voluntarily missed the penalty kick.

At that point the score was 0-11.

4-On the days leading to Red Star Belgrade’s Champions League matchup with Panathinaikos on March 4, 1992, Red Star’s Darko Pancev was involved in a political controversy.

This was at the outbreak of the breakup and civil war in the former Yugoslavia.

Upon entering Greece with the rest of his teammates he had declared his nationality on his passport as Macedonian.

Due to Greece’s dispute over the name of Macedonia, he was detained at the airport for hours before being allowed to cross the border.

Naturally, he was very motivated for the match and scored both of Red Star’s goals in a 2-0 away win.

Didier Deschamps had told him to seize any opportunity when it came to the national team duty.
