To ‘Trial at Open’ the president of Poseidon Michanionas Stelios Kalfas and his counterpart at PAOK Kristonis Lazaros Ioannidis were hosted for what the Thessaloniki team complains about the game between them for the 1st group of the 3rd national team.
With an announcement after the game, which ended 1-0 in favor of the home team, Poseidonas Michanionas denounced adulation by fans of PAOK Kristonis, buns to members and relatives of the team, but also to the referee Anastasios Tsilika from Kavala, who allegedly asked them that they have to lose in order for everyone to leave.
Initially, the president of Neptune Michaniona, Mr. Kalfas, was placed.
“In the meantime, things have happened beyond football logic. We lived a football jungle. They mobbed the players at half-time, as well as the few fans we had with us during half-time, they punched our keeper, things that haven’t happened anywhere in the stadiums in recent years“, initially said Mr. Kalfas.
When asked if there were precedents with PAOK Kristonis and if something had happened in Michaniona, Mr. Kalfas said:No, there was no problem. A car had been stolen in Michaniona and they used that as an excuse that we didn’t treat them well».
On whether the ref actually told them to sit down and lose so everyone could leave the field alive: “From what the team leader told me, yes. His arbitration in the second half was that we had to lose. Either out of fear that I understand it humanly, or by something else».
PAOK President Crystonis responded to whether all this happened: ‘They did not happen, 95% of Michaniona’s announcement are lies. And we have been surprised in Kristoni because as the gentlemen present it, no one has ever had such hospitality».
Mr Kalfas responded by saying: ‘Then why should we make announcements and talk on the radio since morning? Everyone knows us, who we are, I have been president of the club for 15 years, everyone knows what our club provides, how formal and clean we are. Why then do this thing? I do not understand. And what he says that no other team had a problem is wrong. Many groups have contacted me and said that they too experienced similar situations, not so tragic, at this headquarters».
Mr. Ioannidis stated: “95% of Michaniona’s announcement is lies. Because upon their arrival at the stadium there was Police. In the announcement they write that we encouraged them at the beginning while on the field we had a tournament with 18 teams in a children’s league. At the time they came there were 200 children and another 200 parents. There never was what they say, I have inexperienced witnesses. Probably the defeat hurts them».
On whether the caretaker of the Michaniona team was hit: “The career was not hit. There was an altercation in the stands between parents which carried over to the pitch for a phase and “fire went out there” because they were parents of players and the players reacted a bit. And they went out to the stand, the door was locked, we calmed them down and that was it».
On Neptune’s complaints about the referee: ‘What they said about the referee, this sentence was probably invented on the way to Michaniona. This conversation was not said by the referee and if it was said, it seems only the players of Michaniona heard him».
Regarding what the Police report recorded, the president of PAOK Kristonis said:Nothing. Because nothing was done at all. Neither the observer’s report».
“Well, of course. Since I called the police, my call to the police exists. Why was I calling them since they were already there as Mr. Ioannidis says? He was on the field until the start of the match. Then they disappeared“, countered the president of Poseidon.
“This is a big lie. The Kilkis Security Police were already at the stadium“, said Mr. Ioannidis.
On whether there is a second game in Michaniona, Mr. Ioannidis said: “No, it was the first game we got robbed and broke into three cars. There were no reprisals. I’m also upset with Mr. Kalfa because when we went over there and our cars were broken into, they were rejoicing in their victory, eating pizzas and not a single person came out to say what happened there. They are registered in the AT. You heat these incidents with broken cars and thefts».
“This has nothing to do with our team. It happened 200 meters away from the field“, emphasized Mr. Kalfas.
“200 meters away from the stadium and happened only to our cars“, Mr. Ioannidis answered him and added:
“In Christoni, the groups can say that we Pontians are incredibly hospitable. And we treated them to sandwiches at the end and they threw them out of the locker room. From there, I can’t do anything else».
