ATAMAN'S IRONIC MOVE: REQUESTED FOUL AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM

During the Panathinaikos - Marousi game, Panathinaikos coach Ergin Ataman surprised everyone with an ironic gesture. He initially requested a foul be upgraded to an unsportsmanlike foul, believing the Marousi player didn't go for the ball. Then, when Sloukas fouled a Marousi player, he sarcastically asked for an unsportsmanlike foul against Panathinaikos. This move was met with cheers from the Panathinaikos fans, who began chanting Ataman's name.
