Alexander Peshic refuses to forgive Slobodan Drapic. In an interview with the Serbian media, he recounted the events of the game, and attacked the Betar Jerusalem coach.
“Betar Jerusalem players took the ball out due to a player’s injury. I returned the ball to them but accidentally took it out to an outside ball and not to the goal. I told the home players, R. Jerusalem, that I would not try to snatch the ball and then I started hearing curses from the bench of Betar Jerusalem, “Peshich recalled,” there were terrible curses against my mother and my family and everything was said by the Betar Jerusalem coach for a minute and a half “.
“I could not believe what I was hearing,” the Maccabi Tel Aviv striker said, “My assistant coach, who is also a Serb, turned to him and said, ‘How can you not be ashamed?’ And he cursed me back. I turned to him and told him why he was doing it, and he just turned his hand against me like that. “
“If Drapic is frustrated that he’s a Serb then it’s a problem. I’m a proud Serb,” Peshich continued, “insulting my Serbian mother? I will not remain silent. My club asked not to take it out, but I could not bear it. No. I will agree that such a thing will happen, he cursed me personally. “
Pashich made it clear at the end that he did not intend to accept an apology from Drapich: “I will not accept any apology from him. He said things that are unacceptable and cannot be denied. There are witnesses who have seen this. It made me very angry.”
Response DropsTo the Serbian media: “In the heat of the game, I was angry at one of the Maccabi Tel Aviv players who did not return the ball to us and we said a few things to each other. If Peshich is hurt, I’m sorry. We are both from Serbia and I am sure we will find a way to leave this story behind. “
