Croatian Media: “AEK refused the joint dinner with Dinamo, does not want any contact”

The tension between is at high levels AEK and Dinamo Zagrebafter the bloody incidents outside New Philadelphia that claimed the life of the 29-year-old Michalis Katsouri.

With the apologies of those arrested continuing and 70 of them having already been remanded in custody, the situation has far from de-escalated. In Croatia, the news that monopolizes the interest is that the AEK to attend the meal that the home team usually gives in European matches, before the match in Zagreb (15/8).

In particular, “sportske.jutarnji.hr” reports that the Union clearly does not want any contact with the Croatian club, and refused the proposal for a joint dinner, which the Croatians interpret as pressure on the Zagreb club and a harbinger of inhospitality in Athens.

The relevant article in detail:

“Dinamo, as it does with all its European guests over the years, invited the delegation of the Greek champions to a joint dinner. However, AEK announced that it rejects Dinamo’s invitation! The Greeks do not want to sit at the same table with Dinamo.

So everything is clear, AEK does not want any other contacts with the club beyond the official ones, necessary for the organization of the match. Such a move by the Greek club is actually a new pressure for the Zagreb club, probably also an announcement about how Dinamo will be treated in Athens. In response, the “blues” obviously expect real hell not only on the pitch, but also inhospitality at every turn.
