Absolutely annoyed with what happened, before, but also after the Game 3 of the Stoiximan GBL finals between Panathinaikos and Olympic, he showed a post on Instagram by Ergkin Ataman!
The coach of the “clover” took the place of everything that happened before and after the derby at the OAKA, with references to the slogans heard in the SEF and its elimination.
He even made a special reference to the statements by Olympiacos General Manager Nikos Lepeniotis, who likened the OAKA to … jungle.
Specifically Ergkin Ataman states:
“Five days ago, on your own stadium, there have been organized, racist slogans against my country throughout the race, with no apology to date. Just a day before yesterday’s game, I was interrogated, was charged and punished in a way that I have never experienced in the 30 years of my career by a sports court set up within the Federation’s premises. And all of this based solely on three members of the Olympic mission. I didn’t go back and it wasn’t. I spoke openly about the lack of respect for my country and my team. If I were back in the same position I would react the same way. “he initially said.
Then the Turkish technician emphasized: “Although I was a victim of an unprecedented and brazen act in the history of sport, I attended the race out of respect for the Greek authorities. The matches are won and lost, but the shameful behavior of you, your fans and some of your players who lack every concept of athletic ethics has become a black page in the history of European sport. ”
And he closed commenting on Nikos Lepeniotis’ phrase about … Jungle: “In your post you said, ‘We came out alive from the jungle.’ To be quite clear: No one – and I repeat it – no one can call the OAKA, one of Europe’s most modern basketball arenas, “jungle” or 20,000 Panathinaikos fans who supported their team “animals”. I’m not going to warn you again about it. Do not look elsewhere the causes of your guilt. Look at your actions that have no place in sports. “
