The players of Panathinaikos bathed themselves and the cup of Greece in a sea of music and flowers shortly after midnight yesterday. By tradition, they celebrated victory in bouzouki, this time under the sound of Vassilis Karras’ music. In for a penny, in for a pound! For how else to celebrate a title if not party until dawn?
This time, however, greens did not surpass themselves. The party from two weeks ago when even Cisse believed that his second vocation is music scene was not repeated. At least initially. And this was so because of conflicts with the Olympiakos fans in the house.
And as www.sport.gr informed shortly after midnight Panathinaikos players and its coaching staff and medical team start entering in the restaurant Teatro. The champions of Greece take the first tables, of course. At about 1:35 in the club enter also Alexis Tzorvas and Sotoris Ninis carrying the cup in his hands. Follow few moment of apotheosis of the green, hugs and pictures with the audience bowl. The sports website informs that the singer Angeliki Iliadi, who was on the stage at that moment found herself in an embarrassing situation to find out what is special to celebrate with a delay... And also with a delay to congratulate the champions of the country ... A little later in the club comes Stergos Marinos with his better half and his mate Filipos Darlas. At about 02.00 o’clock arrives also Lucas Vintra and Dimitris Salpingidis and a little later the director of the football department Costas Andoniu and Grigoris Papavasiliou.
The temperature rises again when Vassilis Karas goes on the stage and decides to congratulate the team of Aris for the game, and the greens for the Cup. Karas urges the audience to heartily congratulate the winners, but half of the room remains silent. It turns out that this evening to enjoy the music of Kara came many fans of Olympiakos... Then follow some hisses and catcalls for the greens…
In such an atmosphere a little later find the restaurant Kzhishtof with his wife and Nikos Nioplias with his wife and daughter. Then come Djibril Cisse and Costas Katsouranis with their wives, George Karagounis, Lazaros Hristodoulopoulos, Nikos Spiropoulos and others.
Top scorer of the evening Leto decides to show some dances on the stage. Cisse, Ninis, Simao and Gabriel do not remain behind. In the throes of zeybekiko finds himself even the coach of the goalkeepers and Nioplias throws flowers at hi. This atmosphere were able to destroy the shouting of the fans of the green, which provoke the anyways heated fans of Olympiakos.
Not long afterwards in the air instead of flowers are flying tables and chairs ... Luckily the security of Nicolas Pateras intervenes and calms down the spirits. The mood, of Vassilis Karras, however is not calmed down who after few attempts to prevent the looming storm decided to close the singing stage for the evening and no longer appears on stage.
But this was not the end of the evening for the greens. After a small failure in “Teatro”, they moved to Akrotiri, where Cisse took over the role of a DJ - magician and Sebastian Leto the role of a professional dancer.
