Today, all eyes may be on the European matches of the Greek teams, but “clouds” are already emerging for the big Monday derby between Panathinaikos and AEK for the 5th matchday of the Super League (21:00).
The EPO is reportedly unable to find a high-level foreign arbitrator to assign him to direct the great confrontation of the Avenue, at the moment when the teams of the Big 4 have made it clear that all derbies between them should be “whistle” by foreign referees and not at all by Greeks. All this while the game is played on a Monday and – in theory – many top referees could be available having officiated matches over the weekend.
In fact, the side of AEK with its leak emphasizes that they have reached the ears of PAE that the appointment of a Greek referee is underway for Monday and that-as he emphasizes – he finds the “yellow and black” diametrically opposed who are waiting for what has been agreed for the derbies with the rest of the “big ones” to take effect.
It is noted that in last matchday’s derby between AEK and Olympiacos, a foreign elite referee (Portuguese Arthur Soares Dias) was appointed with the intervention of the UEFA president himself. Alexander Ceferinwhile even though the latter had mediated for a foreigner to come to PAOK-Aris, the Greek Papapetrou was finally appointed.
