00:00 In the aftermath of the clashes in Athens last week between AEK and Dynamo Zagreb hooligans
00:08 outside AEK's stadium in which a Greek man died, the Greek Prime Minister met UEFA's
00:13 president.
00:14 Both men vowed to tackle the violence.
00:22 This is cancer of football and those are not football fans.
00:29 Don't call them football fans because they are not football fans.
00:32 They are people who use football for their idiotic ideas.
00:37 The meeting was joined by representatives from Greece's four main football clubs.
00:43 I hope that the state will not be affected by the developments and will implement the
00:50 appropriate measures that are in the hands of the European teams and organizations.
01:00 I am sure that we will not need to go there and everyone has realized the seriousness
01:06 of the situation and the determination of the state to face this evil.

01:18 Sevilla and Manchester City, it's very much not business as usual in Athens where more
01:24 than 100 people, mostly Croatian nationals, have been detained on charges of murder and
01:29 membership of a criminal gang.
01:31 Police are questioning them in the wake of the deadly Athens attack.
