His own comment on the hiring of Peter Freudfeld as head referee was made by Tasos Nikologiannis.
Speaking on the show of Tasos Nikolopoulos and Nikos Zervas, the Panathinaikos reporter spoke of a “marked deck” when talking about the new president of KED, describing the whole process as funny and taking football back 100 years.
At the same time, he clarified that Baltakos did not ask UEFA to show him a head referee, but simply asked if they have a problem with the Swede. Also, for the president of the EPO, he emphasized that with this choice there will be problems and toxicity again.
“That’s how Greek football was, is and will be. The powerful will control the football and the underdogs will shout. Panathinaikos was clear today about his departure, since no agreement was met. They had to show at least 3 resumes and choose. The committee started at 10, at 10.20 the teams took the CV of the Swede, AEK-PAOK said yes, Olympiacos disagreed, Panathinaikos had said from the beginning that they wanted at least 3 CVs and left.
Marked deck, this particular one was a choice of Baltaku who did not ask UEFA to show a referee, but when he asked it about the Swede, he got the answer that there is no problem. To know what we are talking about. The whole process is funny, football goes back 100 years. Panathinaikos left without raising his voice. The positioning from the Olympiakos side was shameful, Panathinaikos kept level. The attitude of the two teams is irrelevant because they say a lot, Panathinaikos got up and left, Olympiacos made an obscene attack with characterizations. The behavior of the representatives of the two groups cannot be compared.
Problems and toxicity will arise again, Baltakos did not want to do things the way they were supposed to be done. In 2018, the Swede had gone through interviews and the representatives of the teams were looking at him with wonder and saying where did they find him”reported on the matter of the head referee.
He then referred to the competition issues and the issue of contract renewals of some footballers.
