Almost all descriptions of the dry match in the Turkish media highlighted that the fans had been admitted to the rostrum.

“Although fans in many countries are unable to enter the match due to the COVID-19 pandemic, up to 5,011 people watched the match at the 15,000-capacity Žalgiris Arena,” wrote NTV Spor.

The journalist stressed that spectators should wear masks, follow the rules of distance and hygiene.

Still, the Turks were hooked on E. Atamanas’ comment about the beautiful but unfair atmosphere in Kaunas.

“I saw that my colleagues in press conferences alluded to the unfair situation in the Euroleague. And I think it’s unfair because we play in an empty arena where others can play with the spectators. I agree with that – said E. Atamanas. – We play in the same tournament, but without fans, and other teams feel the back of the fans. Some countries did not allow teams to play in the crucial Euroleague bubble at the end of July, although the situation in Europe was clearer at the time.

I am not talking about Lithuania. But now in Kaunas we play for the fans, although the situation is worse. I want to ask the Turkish authorities why, in the same situation, we play without fans. What’s going on? I want to ask the Euroleague about it, why was the tournament stopped last year and the conditions are not the same for the teams this year? “

Twitter There was no lack of reactions to this comment from the Anadolu Efes coach.

Yes, Ergina, I would very much like to see the Euroleague, where all teams have the same budget.

Novasports journalist Thanos Soloukos shared Adam’s thoughts, writing: “Who is talking about the wrong situation? Anadolu Efes has a budget four times that of Žalgiris.

Th.Sloukos added images of clowns to this comment.

Another popular Twitter user received a lot of support with a comment: “Yes Ergin, I would love to see a Euroleague where all teams have the same budget.”

Another user of the tweeter offered to give A. Ataman some headphones if he was so annoyed by the noise being made in the sand.

“Ataman wants honesty, so I have an offer. The next time Žalgiris plays for Efes, there will be no fans in the arena, but Efes will have 8 million players to make as many as Žalgiris. We agree? “The head of the basketball hoop was angry.

An interesting moment observed by netizens happened immediately after the game, when Žalgiris coach Martin Schiller was already walking towards the opponents’ bench to shake their hand, but apparently the Istanbul guests did not want to do so, so the Austrian he just waved his hand.
