The massive crowd and pushing forced security to intervene and threaten to end the gathering, but the situation calmed down and autographs resumed.
On Friday, Edin Džeko and Miron Muslić met with Schalke fans, and the event drew so much attention that at one point it escalated into a small-scale riot. A large number of people gathered hoping to get a signature and a photo with the Bosnian footballer and coach, but the huge crowd quickly spiraled out of control.
Due to the pushing and unbearable crush, security had to step in to calm the heated situation. Coach Muslić himself did not hide his frustration, appealing to fans and staff to be patient and respect the established order.
To prevent further issues, organizers quickly reacted and changed the way fans approached the signing table. Access was limited to one side only, which was meant to bring order to the chaotic mass.
Tensions reached their peak when security even threatened to completely stop the autograph session if the pushing continued. Fortunately, this warning had the desired effect. The situation soon calmed down, and the gathering continued without major incidents.
After the intervention, Džeko and Muslić patiently fulfilled the wishes of the assembled fans for about 15 more minutes, signing autographs and posing for photos. This event once again confirmed the immense popularity the duo from Bosnia and Herzegovina enjoys among the fans.
