Panathinaikos Aktor Başantrenörü Ergin Ataman, TRT Sports participated in the publication of the events made statements about the events.
Here are Ataman’s Words:
In Greece, the Olympiakos-Panathinaikos series is in great competition. We won the match on our own field on Friday evening and went forward 1-0. At the beginning of the match yesterday evening, the event started very tense atmosphere. Club president’s family will not be taken into the mouth curses, insults were reacted harshly and left the field. During the match, there were very serious adolescents and curses against Panathinaikos. In the last period of the match, I reacted to it when I started a heavy abusive cheering against Türkiye. I told the referee to block it. I said that this was racist cheer. He didn’t mind and disqualified when I went into the field and reacted. After the match, I made a hard statement. Because this racist cheer.
“Türkiye can not do it against”
You can target people and clubs, but you cannot do your hostility here against a country. Especially in the environment where I can not do against Türkiye. I reacted. The match that should be played on our field on Wednesday was postponed. The Greek government called for the meeting and they want calm. If they fail to do so, the cancellation of the series is discussed.
“Olympiakos fans are rude”
Olympiakos’un fanatic, ultra -called fans collectively. It’s not an individual event. I asked our managers and they told me. There is a collective blasphemy. This is of course the rudeness of Olympiakos fans. We cannot say that Greek supporters did this. My reaction to the use of fanaticism in this way. We haven’t had anything against the Greek people anyway. Greece has never encountered such things. Messages are coming from social media. The problem here is to swear to a country in a sports field.
My expectation is that the authorities take precautions in this regard. Measures against racist cheers, warning and assurance of clubs. We are the team that is already advantageous in the series. We have the advantage of the field. It doesn’t matter if the situation is 1-1. If we win the third match, we will go to Piraeus for the fourth match. There was no such things in our field. I think the ministry will have a meeting on this issue. They cancel the series when it is again. This is what Olympiakos wants. Because we are advantageous in everything. Perhaps I think it could be something planned that they have applied in a planned way. Olympiakos was confused after losing Monaco in Final-Four, where they went as a favorite. There are many speculation. I think they’re going to this way to bertarf.
