AEK’s victory over PAOK for the Betsson Cup had an intense third half, as the side of the “double head of the north” denounces Marios Iliopoulos’s invasion of his dressing room at the OPAP Arena and a verbal attack on Razvan Lucescu.
In fact, the Romanian coach and his players they did not make statements after the game, with one of the vice-presidents of the “black and white” PAE, Kyriako Kyriakotalking to the COSMOTE TV camera and emphasizing how “we forbade them to come, because there are high pulses”.
At the same time, he also commented on what PAOK is complaining about the strongman of AEK, pointing out that “someone has to protect this man from his own showmanship”.
In detail what he said:
“I apologize to the viewers who do not currently have the protagonists of our team. We banned them from coming, because the pulses are high, because even though there are people on both sides who try to keep the pulses at normal levels in derbies and the games are played smoothly, we have… I won’t speak formally, Mr. Savvidis has forbidden us to address people in a higher hierarchical position, but I feel the need towards Greek football, towards those whose aesthetics are selectively spoiled, when someone reacts and they don’t realize what causes some reactions.
The limits of graphicness have been crossed, obviously you all know who I’m talking about. The truth is, when one has a lot of money, it’s hard to have someone shout at them that the king is naked. Someone has to do it, save him, he’s a new man in football and he’d better protect himself and his image. Now he’s on his honeymoon, he’ll soon realize that all the clappers around him, holding cameras and exposing him with his presence, will have to tell him that there are limits too. One minute after the match, the entry of any president or agent into the locker room of my own team who has lost and tries to manage the result, does not go beyond the principles of fair play, which we throw away to write niceties, goes beyond logic.
I won’t promise that we will deal with it the same way in Toumba. We have been in football for many years and we understand, we know how to forgive. Someone has to protect this man from his own showmanship. It was a line crossed and could bring worse things. Fortunately, there were cold-minded people from AEK».
