Speaking at the press conference, Ergin Ataman said that he received threats from an Israeli man, who told him indirectly but clearly that “you will see what we will do to you in the next games”.
Naturally, Maccabi denies the claims of the Turkish coach, through an anonymous source and reports in Israel.
What are they reporting to Israel?
Israel’s Sport5 website, citing a source from the team itself, reports that “… Ataman is lying. None of our people talk like that.”
In fact, the publication adds that the tension continued in the locker room, where, according to the Israelis, the Turkish coach cursed some players of the people’s team.
In fact, they emphasize that Ataman kicked out a Maccabi fan who was in the locker room and asked for the intervention of security to remove him.
The Sport5 report concludes by stating that “… Maccabi is trying to ignore the noise that Panathinaikos is creating about the refereeing in recent days and did not respond to his claims in order not to raise the tone more”.
