For non-existent penalty in favor of him Olympiakouwhich even affects the scoreboard, Nikos Athanasiou spoke through him News Bulletin 247 and remembered a… normalwhich was not given to Panathinaikos at derby between them.
“Instead of saying happy in 2025 we could say happy in 1997, with what happened in Agrinio. With a phantom penalty, which shapes the league standings. With those I have spoken to, no one sees a hand. The use of VAR and its importance, is it what we saw yesterday? I, no matter how many times I see it, I don’t see the hand touch the ball. To give that penalty, you have to be confident. Sidiropoulos was bowled all week, Evangelou also found the opportunity and that’s how it happened. We live in a league where a penalty is given in this phase and the… defensive rebound that Retsos brings down in the OAKA derby is not given“, were his characteristic words.
At the same time, the reporter of the station pointed out that the “clover” is the only team that goes with the… cross in the hand in the extra-competitionunlike others who control the EPO or make… transfers of players who were left “free”, trying to win the championship the… Greek way.
While Athanasiou expressed the opinion that Sidiropoulos is overall, a bad refereelike all his Greek colleagues.
