Maccabi Tel Aviv is angry about the "cheap spin" around Abu Fani: "This is hypocrisy"

A source at the club responded to the demand to punish the Yellows following the calls towards the Maccabi Haifa contact: "When their crowd was caught growling at brown-skinned players, there was no condemnation. It is an attempt to divert the discourse from the game."

One of them said in a conversation with Walla!

Sports: "It's strange to hear the mysterious quotes heard following the events that led to the game and accompanied it yesterday. Demand to prosecute a club following 'crowd calls towards a team player'? Who used to play in a competing club? The same audience that is caught more than once growls at brown-skinned players, or sings songs about trains and Germans without a voice of condemnation. "Spin is cheap and not just hypocrisy, but a simple attempt to divert the discourse from yesterday's game."
