Speaking to News Bulletin 247The Tasos Tsatalis, communication manager of PAE AEKemphasized that he does not accept that the “Union” is accused of propaganda.
“We have been hearing for the last few days, yesterday and today, regarding PAE AEK’s communication about mistakes and adoption of other teams’ practices. This has disturbed us. Our role is institutional and the right to express ourselves freely exists. We cannot hear that we are using Olympiacos practices. This is not criticism, it goes towards propaganda to create impressions. AEK’s point of view is not above criticism, but demands to be treated with respect. When we are labeled extreme, it is disrespectful“, he emphasized.
“It would be funny for me to say something against this Media (s.s. News Bulletin 247). But when something bothers us, then it is necessary to express it. We express the opinions we express about the arbitration with arguments. Saying that we are trying to make it black and white gets nowhere“, he added.
On Amrabad not being sent off in Sunday’s derby he said:We don’t appeal to referee critics on TV. But Koutsiavtis mentioned what the regulation says. The regulation is not up for debate. In my opinion, Demis Nikolaidis is wrong in the way he deals with the situation. I am not interested in the role he has adopted lately, but the essence of his placement. If someone does 3, 5 or 2 times of course and they will get a card, but not in this case with Amrabad as stated in the rulebook».
As for the penalty that was canceled in the last phase of the match, he said:Corresponding penalties have been given to the one that was not given to AEK. It is highly doubtful that Palacios found the ball, while Araujo definitely found it. We don’t point the finger at anyone. We respond, defend ourselves in essence, against a war we accept. Dabanovic’s refereeing irritated me on too many occasions, with Brignoli’s delays, Palacios’ hands and other phases».
Finally, regarding AEK’s earlier position regarding the distance that a flare went off near Brignoli’s goal in the regular season match, it stated: “It was said that AEK had a moral obligation for the flare at Brignoli’s hearth. To Panathinaikos’ credit, he did not take advantage of the opportunity. But it is not possible to equate this case with the beams in Peristeri, which has nothing to do with it. We had no intention of coming into conflict with Panathinaikos».
