Harte Reaktion von Fatih Terim: Sollte ein solcher Schiedsrichter kostenpflichtig aus Frankreich geholt werden?
In the Greek Super League, Panathinaikos lost 0-3 to AEK and fell 4 points behind the top. Panathinaikos coach Fatih Terim, at the end of the game, criticized the referees. Panathinaikos coach Fatih Terim provided an explanation after the match against AEK, which they lost 0-3. Terim criticized the referee’s decisions and stated, „Today we did not play well enough. Let me first congratulate our opponents. They played well and deserved the victory. We conceded the goal early and our stability was disrupted. It can be discussed whether it was Kotsiras‘ penalty position if that penalty had been given. The referees behaved somewhat strangely when they entered the field. This does not mean that AEK did not deserve the win. I say it again: if it had been 1-1 with a penalty, we could have made it easier for the opponent. I did not think we could turn the score around in the middle.“ „There is no need to pay money to bring a referee.“ Regarding the foreign referee, Terim said, „Now you ask us, and we talk about the match. As reporters, you have the right to tell us if we are playing correctly or not. The only person who is not affected.“ Or the referee does not care. We did not lose because of a penalty, but the VAR said nothing. Then he came and gave us a yellow card.“ How can we respect the referee like this? We could lose again. He wants to be respected, you are not a man who needs to be respected! he used his words. Finally, Terim stated that they will not give up on the championship and said, „We do not intend to give up until the final whistle. If we have the chance, we will continue until the end. We suffered a defeat today, but nothing has happened.“ We have lost a significant advantage on paper. We will pursue it until the end. T24
