Crvena Zvezda president Zeljko Drcelic exclaimed: “Has the EuroLeague become a league of thieves?”
Crvena Zvezda president Zeljko Drcelic with heavy accusations to referees and EuroLeague after the KO against Zalgiris.
Crvena Zvezda lost the game against Zalgiris Kaunas in the sixth round of EuroLeague, but Crvena Zvezda’s president Zeljko Drcelic blurted out against the referees and EuroLeague after the challenge. These are his very heavy accusations, released to the microphones of Sportal.
Drcelic’s words: “How is it possible that when there is a 20-point gap, everyone knows everything, and then when the game is balanced, it is the referees who decide the outcome? Perhaps a diplomatic tone would be desirable, but this is for gentlemen and fair play. We are witnessing a brutal theft in front of millions of people. So I ask, are the referees in charge of determining the winner? And who gives them this task? Gentlemen of the EuroLeague, what was done against Barcelona and tonight in our country is called theft, so ask yourselves if this has become a league of thieves. I am ashamed of your nonsense”.
In the social post of the match summary published by Crvena Zvezda, the match was also called a disgrace.
