Manolo Jimenez gave an interview to the Spanish Coaches’ Voice, talking about the episodic game between PAOK and AEK in March 2018 in Toumba!
Jimenez, we remind you, that today, in fact, is happening 59 years old, then he was on the “Union” bench. So he said, among other things:I had sent the players to the dressing room when the president of PAOK entered the pitch surrounded by bodyguards. We realized he had the gun when images of the incident started reaching our mobile phones. At that moment we thought “Imagine if this man in his anger decides to take it off”»!
He added: “We spent three hours in the locker room. Fortunately the behavior of the players of both teams was very good and there were no problems. I still wonder how he came up with it. I want to believe that what happened that night has its background in what happened throughout the season».
As for the phase of the PAOK goal, which did not count in that match, he said:In the second round game in Toomba we were tied at nil, which was a worthwhile result, until they scored a goal. However, the referee stopped for a second and went to the sideline to speak to his assistant. After several minutes, the referee decided to call it off considering that the goal scorer was offside. The president of PAOK entered there. However, it must be clear that this image does not represent Greek football or its society».
