In fact, the number one of the Greens loudly claimed that the refereeing panel favored Olympiacos against Real Madrid in game 2. Below are his statements.<\/p>\n
Giannakopoulos’ words<\/strong>: “I don’t know how Real Madrid, with all its history, can be fooled in this way”.<\/p>\n The reaction of Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo was not long in coming and he also spoke in the press room about the statements of the Panathinaikos president.<\/p>\n Chus Mateo’s words<\/strong>: “I am the coach of the Real Madrid basketball team and in my club we never complain after the game about injuries, referees or anything outside the game. During the game we protest and complain to the referees when we think there is a wrong whistle. I believe in the honesty of the referees and we will never complain to the referees after the game. Ever! Those outside can say whatever they want, but when the game is over, I will never complain about what happened on the field”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dimitris Giannakopoulos, president of Panathinaikos, attacked the referees of Olympiacos-Real Madrid: This is Coach Mateo’s response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":384654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-439518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"yoast_head":"\n
