[01] Tsipras: We are determined to make changes in football
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras expressed the government's determination
to introduce reforms in Greek football in an effort to end violence and
restore normality, during a meeting with representatives of Greece's
2004 national team at Maximos Mansion, on Friday.
The prime minister said he invited the team, which won first place in
the Euro 2004, to discuss developments in football and possible ideas
to resolve the problems facing the sport.
"We are very concerned about the situation in Greek football and we are
determined to intervene, to make reforms, because this is what Greek
society wants and the fans: to restore normality so we can go to the
football field with our children, our families."
Former players Angelos Basinas, Yourkas Seitaridis, Vasilis Tsiartas
and Takis Fysas, who accepted Tsipras' invitation, thanked the prime
minister for the opportunity to discuss the problems in football. The
