What the owner of the “clover” said in detail:

For the penalty imposed on Olympiakos: “Incidents like this, although terrible, help to ‘educate’ fans not to use excessive violence. Because, no fan wants their team punished. The rules are simple. If an away team player or official is injured and is unable to continue in his role, then the game is awarded to the other team and a point is deducted from the home team. It will act as a warning to future hooligans. Olympiacos is clearly spoiled. He has never been punished, while all the other “big” teams have been. Olympiacos is the spoiled child of Greek football.”

For the injury to Juancar: “He had a labyrinthine concussion and vertigo. Yesterday (10/30) was the first day he went to train. He fainted and was taken to the doctor’s office. He won’t train today.”

For what will happen if the facts change and Olympiacos is not punished: “I think under no circumstances should we have a message that says a group can get away with it, because this progress that has been made would be… destroyed. What will happen, if such a serious incident goes unpunished, is that the fanatical fans will think ‘we can get away with it and we will scare the opponents’.
