The Dutch referee gave an interview to Meso from his homeland and shared his experience of the Thessaloniki derby.
«They have two tickets for the players to enter and at half time we use the same entrance as the player PAOK. But we knew it. In the end, it was nice that we didn’t know Greek. But we understood some things from the reception. Later, the groups met at this point.
The sanction decision was justified and he verified it. WHERE, so there is no discussion about it. At least that’s what we believe».
About the yellow cards he said: «I am known as a very tolerant referee, but I could not do otherwise with these violations. I don’t remember when was the last time I got a yellow card in the Netherlands.».
For the derby: «The temperament of the players and the coaches is very good. It was a fast-paced game from the beginning. Feyenoord – Ajax also has strong emotions, but this match was something different, more intense, more aggressive. They protested against all my decisions. Think about what would happen if the stadium was full.
I think it was a great experience. In Greece there is a curfew after 9:00 p.m. due to the coronavirus, but we saw their fans Mars to celebrate on the balconies lighting torches».
On how he found himself in the derby: «I got a request from him Clattenberg, the old English arbitrator, who is the head of the Greek arbitration. They often bring foreign referees for big games and I understand why. All week the press and the fans were talking about this game. I also noticed it on Monday. Everyone deals with the referee. Being a foreigner I did not understand anything else and that is why I diet more comfortably».
