Former Secretary General of Sports, George Lysaridis, spoke at “Trial in SKAI” about the basketball field and the responsibilities of the state.
Initially, he referred to Fournier’s gesture in the 3rd final with Panathinaikos and Ataman’s “explosion” after the finale of the SEF match that judged the champion: “It is an indication of the toxicity in team sports. It is a sad state that is a chronic pathogenesis, which is deteriorating because the contributors that cause it and those who have the power to heal it do not act in accordance with their competence, ”he said initially.
Continue by saying:
On whether you would do like Mr Vroutsis, if he had the owners of Panathinaikos and Olympiacos: “We will allow me not to compare. Mr Anastasiou aimed at violence. Incorrecting sports is inappropriate, it is a general violence that is observed and has to do with the family, education and the standards we propose to children, which lead to youth acceptance and imitation. It is not the fault of any sport.
Three factors can form the climate of a championship. The State, the Great Grace and the corresponding Federation. The state under the Constitution must supervise sport and must intervene in its jurisdiction in the way it should. Greats if they do not leave the monarchy model is neither football nor basketball to see better days. Of course, the profit is desirable, however, they must agree on net competition. Otherwise, there will be a Roman arena permanently.
There are also the responsibilities of the Federation, as it is said. I will dwell not so much in the Super League, because its actions are shaped by factors, mainly. And I ask. Isn’t it tragic that everyone has accepted that the Super League is governed by the 4-5 presidents of the big teams? The federation, I said, must exercise its responsibilities and persuade the world with a creative disobedience. That administrations are not its representatives. ”
He also remembered the time when the parties were chosen for the EPO presidency, but ultimately the correlations were overthrown: “The chosen one was elected with a 28-23 correlation, which was 23-28 until the night before. From the mid -1990s, at a turning point, the economic, not the political factor, prevailed.
Until 1995, the parties believed that their dominance in the federations was an extension of electoral domination. This was slowly turning. Bad and the parties to interfere, but in the end they are obvious. The system that succeeded them acts on obscurity and was elected those he wants. Then, the voters were influenced, this small electorate, so it remains small, to be easily controlled. ”
About the lack of Greek referees: “Local links have been dehydrated and there will be no referees to even cover the amateur championships. The EPO should care about amateur football, this is its main role. ”
On revelations about the illegal betting circuit: “I am interested and saddened to be linked to games. There are dozens of folders for suspicious matches that remain for research. It is one of the pathogens of Greek football and was created by the distorted development of professional football in our country. ”
On the competitiveness of the championship: “There was a slight difference in some places in the standings, but this is not the forest. 78 percent of the players who started in the teams across the championship were foreigners. Are these not serious issues that should be of concern to the EPO? I expect to see what he will do on these issues in question. “
