Kazachstánský Ďolíček. Nabízí bizáry i pevnost, kde pět let nikdo nevyhrál

Aktobe (od našeho zpravodaje) – Čtvrté největší město Kazachstánu je pro českou populaci velkou neznámou. Na ruské hranice z něj dojedete autem za nějakých 100 kilometrů.

V přibližně půlmilionové metropoli na severozápadě země to ale žije. Po ulicích se v noci procházejí stovky lidí, silnice provozem připomínají až ranní špičku. A kousek od samotného centra se nachází místní a zvenku do červenobílých barev laděný stadion.

Rozhodně nečekejte jednu malou tribunku nebo atletickou dráhu. Aréna místního FC je uzavřená a pojme kolem 13 tisíc diváků. V útrobách připomíná panelák kombinovaný se starší kancelářskou budovou. A kabina? Sparťané si pochvalovali, že je velmi prostorná.

„Stadion je starší, rozhodně to není moderní aréna. Přirovnal bych ho k Ďolíčku, pokud by strmá hlavní tribuna byla po všech stranách. Diváci jsou opravdu blízko trávníku,“ říká obránce Michal Jeřábek, který v roce 2022 strávil v Aktobe jednu sezonu.

Nabízí i pár bizarních věcí. Třeba na jedné z laviček se počet červených pohodlných sedaček doplnil tradičními koženými křesílky. Trávník pak nevypadá v nejlepším stavu. „Hřiště je rozměrově o trochu menší, takže uvidíme, jak se nám bude dařit,“ podotkl kouč Sparty Brian Priske.

Říká se, že fanoušci jsou jedni z nejlepších v Kazachstánu. Že jsou nároční a milují fotbal. Že kotel dokáže vytvořit místy až neuvěřitelný bordel. Tak uvidíme ve čtvrtek, kdy zde Sparta rozehraje 2. předkolo Konferenční ligy.

Stadion oslaví zanedlouho velké jubileum. Stojí už půl století. Slavnostní otevření obstaral v srpnu 1975 zápas s CSKA Moskva. Ruský gigant tehdy zvítězil 1:0.

Aktobe, mimo jiné za posledních 20 let pětinásobný kazachstánský šampion, ve svém chrámu zapsalo i jednu až neuvěřitelnou statistiku. Od 2. října 2004 do 27. srpna 2009, tedy téměř pět let či 1790 dní, doma neprohrálo žádné soutěžní utkání. A je jedno, zda šlo o domácí ligu, pohár nebo evropské poháry.

Tato série skončila až v závěrečném předkole Evropské ligy porážkou s 0:2 Werderem Brémy.

Dokáže Sparta německý celek napodobit? „Měla by to zvládnout. Možná bude prostředí nepříjemné, fanoušci jsou blízko, atmosféra může být bouřlivá, ale klub jako Sparta by si s tím měl poradit. Nesmí ale nic podcenit. To rozhodně ne,“ zdůrazňuje Jeřábek.
