The main candidate for the Panathinaikos bench made clarifications regarding the recent interview he gave to the Italian Sky Sports, Maurizio Sarri.
The 65-year-old Italian coach, with his statements, emphasizes that his words were misinterpreted, while things were attributed to him which he himself had not said.
Analytically:
“I was asked if I was disappointed with the market and I said that to be fair I don’t think it’s appropriate to name names. This was the first question and I would not allow myself to enter “other people’s fields”.
In a second follow-up question, which was more technical and not about my future, they persisted and asked me about Fiorentina and Milan: “I answered – it’s true – that they seemed to suit my characteristics.
But I talked about it in a general context, since I avoided… dribbling the first question. Obviously whoever drew conclusions did not have the sensitivity to follow the interview and its various moments.
In addition, I added that there was a general reflection on my part about what happened, full stop.
That they then wanted to instrumentalize by writing and saying that I will put pressure on Paladino (he recently took charge of Fiorentina) seems suspicious and ridiculous to me.
Obviously there are people who seek publicity in the absence of other arguments. By the way, I find it in bad taste to refer to a person like Joe Barone, who is no longer with us, explaining why I didn’t go to Fiorentina before.
A completely false version of events has been told, the true one I keep to myself out of total respect for a person who is sadly no longer alive today.’
