The incident between Vangelis Marinaki and Nuno Espirito Santo surprised the British, with the Nikos Dabiza to give his own version.
Speaking at I Paper, the veteran footballer with a great career in Greece and England referred to Differences of football culture of the two countries, and among other things he said that in one of the first groups of his career, the Owner of the Association was armed.
In detail:
“Look, the owner of one of my first groups was walking in a suit and a pistol on the back of his pants. This was a long time ago, but what we see here is to clash Greece’s football culture with that of England.
In Greece, you will see the owner of the team constantly in the locker room, almost as often as you will see the coach. Sometimes they tell you what bonuses you will get if you win before the match and then come to shout at you where you lost and saved some money.
We are more emotional, It is in our character, we are passionate as a nation. You may look out of control, but usually, it’s clean, it’s the love for play, passion. Of course if you can control your emotions, it’s the best, but football is an emotional game.
Marinakis does not want to offend anyonejust wants success. There are many fans who would like to see their team owner have such a passion, in front of and behind the cameras.
It is just the opposite of some Premier League owners. For some, it’s just business. Marinakis invests money but also invests his personality and emotions.
Perhaps Glezer They only care about how books show at the end of the season, but Marinakis wants success. He is very rich and invests in football to make money, but he wants success more than anything.
Sometimes he can’t control his feelings but you can’t blame him as someone who wants to make money from his team. “
Marinakis is just a passionate greek owner – I KNEW ONE WHO CARRIED A GUN
