The thoughts to be done double the Cup final from the new season confirmed the Stergios Antoniou.
In his statements to “City 106.1”, its vice president EPO attributed this year’s palinades to attempts by some to break down the image of the federation.
So he revealed his intention to suggested to the federation council amending the proclamation and claiming the trophy to two matches.
What Antoniou said in detail
About what happened in the final: “One would have to be unreceptive not to receive the messages of the final. We live in a toxicity and there is frustration at the conditions that have been created so that we don’t have a final-celebration.
For a long time we tried not to say anything about situations that were created so as not to recycle the same things. Some tried to spoil the image of EPO. I can’t see how EPO is to blame when it doesn’t cause toxicity. EPO has no fans. What could the EPO do when the police are afraid of incidents?
Of course, some insist that the EPO is to blame for this. Our mistake is that we chose a specific stadium in the announcement. We got to the point where we were thinking about issuing accreditations rather than invitations, and again some fought back.
We thought about going to Cyprus and we saw problems there too with the Greek police advising the Cypriots not to accept the final… There were two teams in the final and some intervened.
I had stated that I would not go to the final under the conditions in which we were led to do it. I will convey to the council that we go to a double final. There is no maturity for a single final with people. The teams should tame the fan movements”.
For thoughts ahead of next year: “In the middle of June the executive committee will meet and there we will start the discussions for next year, and the announcement of the Cup will be among them. The announcement should leave room to discuss with the two finalists, when they emerge.
When we said about a final abroad, he had no idea that we would meet in Elbasan. We had something different in mind based on the countries where diaspora Hellenism exists. We had England and Germany in mind. We should be more prepared for next year’s final.”
