The Steamroller Dies Down in the Second Half

In Dragan Bjelogrlić's film – ‘Montevideo, God Bless You’ – one of the iconic scenes is when Nebojša Ilić, in the role of Boško Simonović, gives a monologue during a match against Bulgaria, motivating the players with the sentence: ‘In life, you may not have a second half, but in football, you do.’
The Steamroller Dies Down in the Second Half

The Steamroller Dies Down in the Second Half Partizan FC has not scored a single goal in the second half of their matches since December 13th, despite consistently performing well in the first half. This worrying trend has persisted through multiple games and under different coaches, including the recent return of Srđan Blagojević. The team’s inability to maintain momentum after halftime is a significant concern for their championship aspirations.

  • Partizan has not scored in the second half of any match since December 13th.
  • The team scored 29 goals in the first half and 33 in the second half during the autumn season.
  • Winter preparations were limited due to injuries and poor weather, resulting in only three friendly matches, all with first-half goals.
  • The departure of top scorer Jovan Milošević has impacted the team’s effectiveness.
  • Despite having a man advantage in one match and leading in others at halftime, Partizan failed to score in the second half.
  • Coach Srđan Blagojević’s primary challenge is to improve the team’s second-half performance.
