Penaroya replied to Ataman: “He does his job, arbitration had no influence on the result”

O had many complaints from the arbitration of his match with Barcelona in Barcelona. Erkin Ataman broke out at the press conference on Panathinaikos’ arbitration with Barcelona, stressing that the referees left the Catalan wood in the second half. CORVERSE Juan Penaroya, in statements, responded to Erkin Ataman’s so-called words, making it clear that arbitration did not play a role in the outcome of the match. In detail his statements: “He does his job, he is very good at it. I don’t know what game he’s seen. I think we’re equal in fouls. I’d like to see the second half because I’ve seen actions from some of his players, those who say they didn’t protect, who certainly shouldn’t have finished the game. He also said that stars should be protected and I completely agree, Kevin Pander could have been protected by referees. “This is not criticism. We played a basketball game, a Euroleague game. He has that view, but I think arbitration had no influence on the outcome. I think we deserved the win. I think we were better and at the press conference everyone plays the role they have to play to prepare for the next games.”
