AEK: “The Hapoel fans did not respect the rules of order – They threaten Mitchell with messages!”

The tension between is very great AEK and Hapoel Jerusalemwith the third and final game between them looming.

The sad events that took place in game 2 in Liosia were the beginning of this tense atmosphere, with the Israelis placing all the blame on the side of the Union and warning of “gates of hell that will open” ahead of the crucial match at the “Pais Arena ».

On her part, KAE AEK he proceeded to an update, through which he highlighted the mistakes-invitations made by his team as well Israelthrowing the “ball” of blame from the other side as well.

AEK’s update in detail:

“1) The management of Hapoel and their fans at the Ano Liosion match did not follow the safety rules that they had been informed about a long time ago, while they did not respect the decisions made during the meeting of the Measures of Order with the Police.

Their late arrival at the Stadium (they entered it at 16:50, instead of 15:30), caused a problem in the security plan and thus the control at the entrances was flawed.

2) Hapoel fans made and wore a t-shirt with the Parthenon painted red with the message “ATHENS IS RED”, while stickers with the same message filled our Closed. The “message” about the Parthenon constitutes a desecration of a national/historical monument and apparently caused outrage among Greek fans. Imagine what a diplomatic episode would have been caused if AEK fans had made a similar t-shirt with some historical monument of Israel painted in yellow and black. This particular “message” was also played on Hapoel’s social media days before the match, but we did not use it, nor did we respond, precisely so as not to provoke. This is self-evident. Anyone can find it. And we find our trouble too? Somewhere mercy!

3) The Hapoel fans threw the smoke generator that the provocateurs hooligans/invaders had thrown onto the pitch first, when they could have just let it go off. This is how they risked the physical integrity of athletes/referees etc after the smoke generator exploded on the floor. At the same time, they threw bottles of water and coins at the families sitting in the lower deck.

4) The Hapoel management (themselves, who insist on anti-terror and anti-violence sermons) a) uploaded a promo video for next Wednesday’s match, where they urge their people to open the gates of hell, thus promoting violence and disregarding the physical integrity of our group. b) she gave Mitchell’s personal mobile number to her fans (!!!), who have been sending him hate messages for days threatening him for the third match…

5) The VIP guests of Hapoel, throughout the match, were gesticulating and cursing the families of the AEK players, who were sitting next to them. We remind you that the AEK fans/excursionists in the first match, in Jerusalem, did not cause the slightest disturbance.

In any case, while we are trying to calm the situation through our announcement, undertaking whatever we have to undertake, but also through our two interviews with Israeli Media, Hapoel continues daily to dynamit the climate with the sole aim of polarizing and the intimidation of our team and the referees in view of the 3rd match”.
