Karapapas: “Rotten and dirty, Olympiakos cannot be written off in normality, not in Baltakistan”
Olympiacos Vice-President Kostas Karapapas, speaking on COSMOTE TV, spoke of “rottenness” in the league, a specific system in Greek football and… Baltakistan.
After the defeat of Olympiakos by PAOK, o The 4th Vice President and General Manager of Olympiakos Kostas Karapapas spoke to COSMOTE TV. He stressed that the red-whites should not be written off while complaining about the referees.
Karapapa’s statements:
“It’s a defeat that made us very sad, in a game that didn’t do football justice, with a goal that can’t be scored again. As you saw, we conceded a goal and then too many Pressure put on Opponents with two stages scored two goals and took a win that didn’t pay offWe conceded too much, we should have scored more goals.
He got a win he didn’t deserve, Olympiacos had to win this game, like other games, now a situation is forming where we’re being left behind. I would like to give you some advice, do not write off the permanent champion, the championship still has a long way to go, but in normality. What we see in the league only happens in third world countries.
Everyone who comes here and collects them collects something incredible. Malong with Greek referees who are multi-tools have changed the league so far. The league has many games, but it cannot change this meager Greek football when, in a game that should have ended in a draw, and instead of blowing a clear penalty against a team, they blow the whistle.
There is no VAR, no bars, nothing, just tools. There are VARs here, triple checks and everyone who comes and plays us. We’ve seen who they are, we know what they do, where they are every day, who they talk to, who they drink coffee with, who they organize with.
The Greek league is at its lowest point, its worst point and I don’t care if they call me to apologize. You just call us, it’s not worth it. I am amazed at the patience of the people in the club, at the patience of everyone. The time has come to speak the truth because bad things have happened. We see the chronicle of a foretold death every Sunday. We’re forced to play with two teams, try, the only thing that doesn’t change is this dirt and rot.
He gave up seven minutes, received two yellow cards for delays and finished the game again in seven minutes. You saw that in a European game. It’s not just tonight, fans need to have an idea that there’s a certain system in place here. Everyone is watching yesterday’s game. It should have ended in a draw, but the result was changed. We have time ahead of us, Olympiakos cannot be written off, but in normality, not in Baltakistan”.
