FIBA Champions League
KAE AEK fights back: “They came with provocative t-shirts and gave the fans Akil Mitchell’s number”
Events that went unnoticed were put on the table by KAE AEK after Hapoel Jerusalem’s continued efforts to ignite Wednesday night’s match between the two sides.
At a time when the countdown to the third game of the quarter-finals of the Basketball Champions League is already on, at a time when Hapoel Jerusalem is pouring more and more fuel on the fire after the events in the Ano Liosia hall. A time when KAE AEK Prepared for a state of war in Israel, his agents counterattack. With their briefing to the media, they spoke for the first time about the incidents of the previous days, hoping that the situation would calm down and the game would be played on Wednesday (April 19, 7:00 p.m.) without further tension.
As AEK people report, Hapoel agents and fans arrived in Ano Liosia 80 minutes late, resulting in a violation of the security plan and thus a flawed control. They also wore t-shirts that said “Athens Is Red” and the Parthenon, and filled the stadium with similar stickers. The specific message was also seen on Israeli social media days before the game, with no details provided by KAE AEK.
What leaves an even more negative impression is the fact that AEK people claim their colleagues at Hapoel gave Achille Mitchell’s phone number to fans, which led to the American constantly receiving hate mail. All of this while FIBA monitors developments and certainly feels uncomfortable when a basketball team is forced to travel incognito to a basketball game to avoid possible risks that may arise after what happened in closed Ano Liosia were unequivocally condemned by the yellow-blacks.
