Absolute respect for yesterday's show at the away stand
Dear NEC lads,
I'm a lifelong Dinamo Zagreb fan, and I just wanted to say how impressed I was by your support in the away stand yesterday. Your singing, energy, and atmosphere were absolutely incredible!
I'll be honest, I didn't know much about NEC or Nijmegen before yesterday, and I was expecting maybe 100–200 away fans making a bit of noise. But the number of you who showed up and the atmosphere you created completely blew me away!
We've hosted plenty of European clubs and their supporters over the years, including some of the biggest names in football, but I'd genuinely rank your performance among the best I've ever seen at our stadium.
And what makes it even more impressive is that neither NEC nor Dinamo are among Europe's footballing giants. When clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester City, or Juventus come to town, you naturally expect large numbers of travelling fans and a great atmosphere. But seeing that same level of passion, dedication, and support from fans of a club that doesn't regularly play on the biggest European stage is something truly special.
Massive respect to all of you who made the trip to Zagreb. You represented your club and your city brilliantly, and you definitely earned the respect of this Dinamo fan!
Greetings from Zagreb!
