For unequal treatment of her AEK from the arbitration spoke o Elias Kanzouris after the defeat by Olympiakos.
As in the flash interview, so in the press conference the Union’s coach referred to his belief that AEK is not treated with the same criteria compared to the rest.
What the AEK coach said at the press conference:
“Good evening. Although, as you know, for three years, I have not spoken about arbitration, today I feel the need to do so. This move of mine is obviously not aimed at favoring us with whistles in the next matches. This is something that I have noticed for quite some time, I would say since the beginning of the second round. If we want to talk about the good of the sport, the criteria should be the same. We have two days to prepare for the match against Hapoel Jerusalem and then focus again on the Greek Championship.”
On whether and to what extent it would make a difference in the management of matches during the Championship: “There’s always something you should have managed better. Various things happened to us, some we managed better, some others, due to some situations, not. I think that in the vast majority of matches, we showed a very good competitive face, we kept the promise we gave at the beginning of the year, that we would fight in every game. Sure, we could have managed some games better, but overall the picture was more than good, in terms of team spirit. The year begins now, we forget that it has happened. Although we have a home disadvantage, we have shown the character and basketball quality we possess, despite the loss of Strelnieks, to be able to claim what belongs to us”.
For AEK’s opponent in the playoffs: “Whoever we played it would be the same. Since the beginning of the year, we have been preparing to get here and challenge, along with all the teams that have targets. Peristeri is an excellent team, from there on, we should look to be healthy and enter the field to get what is appropriate in the history of AEK”.
