Of particular interest was the hearing after the league’s disciplinary committee called for an apology for what happened in the derby final. AEK-PAOK (1-1). It is reminded that in apology Erik Lamela, Matias Almeida’s partner Daniel Vega, Razvan Lucescu and two people declared as carers had been called.
The decision is expected within the dayprobably until the afternoon, while the hearing before the DAEB is pending next Tuesday, with this process being independent from today’s and other penalties being possible.
THE Alexis Alexioulawyer of PAE AEK, testified appeal of partial invalidity for Lamela’s summonsas he pointed out that the article with which he was invited presupposes that he has been expelled, which did not happen. At the same time, he emphasized that the reports were contradictory, as some report that the Argentinian threw a piece of paper at the PAOK coach, others a bandage, others a wet handkerchief, etc. The AEK side reported that what he threw was a tape and argued that there is no fight between them, only verbal attackalso showing a related video.
As for the Vega and Lucescu quarrelAEK reported that there is no physical contact between them, stressing that “… Vega doesn’t do anything, he didn’t even get to go to Lucescu“, while Mr. Alexiou concluded by stating that “… the cause of the tension must be sought in a single person, Lucescu, who provoked everyone».
From PAOK’s side, PAE’s lawyer, Achilleas Mavrommatisargued that what happened was given a greater dimension than the real one “… except for the Yantsidis gesture for which we agree and he himself apologizes».
For the incident between Lucescu and Vega, PAOK sided with AEK, with the judge intervening stressing “… Mr. Lucescu should be more calm and not move the strings, now nothing tragic happened, but in the future it might get worse and matches will be decided on paper».
PAOK argued for Mr. Yantsidis, who made the gesture, that “… he was influenced and led astray“, for Lucescu’s spitting at Lamela, the Thessaloniki side emphasized that “… don’t spit on him”while also showing videos. When the judge saw this she intervened again saying “what I see is unacceptable for both of them, if others had not intervened they would have been killed»
Regarding the second person declared as a caregiver, Mr. Kaltabanidis, who allegedly attacked the police in a rage, PAOK said that… he tried to open up space, with the judge reacting again by stressing “… no, I don’t see anything like that, he’s trying to attack and it shows“, while the Thessalonian side asked for mercy.
PAOK’s security officer, Panagiotis Pliatsikas, who was present as a witness, said that “… Lucescu came in to congratulate his players, he didn’t spit on Lamela, he cursed him“, with the judge noting that there is empathy towards the police and stressing “… if he wasn’t there, there would have been chaos in the locker room».
