This monday,in Red Star museum it's been made a short video designed for MUTV for anent to 50 years of Munich tragedy.
Vladica Popovic and Dragan Sekularac,who' v been than Red Star players,were talking about 2 historical matches between Manchester United and Red Star.United won first match in England 2:1 even after Lazar Tasic's first goal for Red Star.
''The fog was so heavy in Manchester and we practically didn't saw our first goal.Even Tasic the goalscorer didn't saw it properlly.We have lost this game,but we were playing very good and we were looking foward for second match.''
Second match has been played january 5th in Belgrade in front of 50 000 fans.In hard and interesting match resault was 3:3 and United won in 2 matches.
''After the game we had a dinner in Majestic hotel,and after that we move on Skadarljia.We didn't understand eachother but we have had a good time.We were singing and laughing just like we know eachother for all life.This was great moments for me with great guys wich i'll never forget" says Vladica Popovoc.
Other day,in early morning,United players were going home and few hours later the whole world was listening the sad news about Munich tragedy.
"We have heard that the plane with United's players was crashed near Munich and almost everybodie is dead.We were in shock and we couldn't belive that those lads who has been last night with us are all dead.''
A few years ago,Vladica Popovic has been at OT to give a honor to dead United players.
"We have put a flowers on the pitch of OT wich was full of UTD fans who were so quiet.It was a minut of silence.I remember a big applause of OT whan they have heard that we are from Red Star.I'll remember this for the rest of my life"
Vladica Popovic has a chance to try his abbility against friendly club as a manager.
"It was 1991 whan we have lost 1:0 at OT in Europen Supercup.My impression is that we have been better in this match.Sir Alex Fergusson was creating a strong and powerfull team in this days.I feel sory because we couldn't play second game in Belgrade because in this days Serbia was in war"
