Siopis: “In Trabzon they are crazy like us and they make a terrible anchovy”

After two years at Alanyaspor, this summer the Manolis Siopis moved to Trabzonspor and on the side of Tassos Bacaceta.

Despite the short time in the team of Trabzon, the 27-year-old midfielder has managed to gain the trust of the club, having already recorded 12 participations in the Turkish championship.



In statements to the team’s magazine, Siopis spoke about life in Trabzon, its people who look like the Greeks, but also for his … favorite anchovy!

For life in the city of Trabzon: “People in Trabzon are like us, like the Greeks. They are active, energetic and so crazy. I still haven’t had time to visit many places, but I went to Panagia Soumela with my wife “.



For his relationship with the fans: “If I remember correctly, it was the match with Sivasspor, when I entered the game in the 75th minute and got the ball on my feet, I felt such warmth, such honesty from the podium. I play football for the team, but I play for our world. “I’m like a soldier” I play this way and that ‘s why people loved me from the first moment. I try to give my best for the team “.

For the atmosphere in the stadium: “If there were no restrictions due to the pandemic, we would be playing in a crowded stadium. However, there was a great atmosphere even at half full. We all danced together. “

For his love of anchovies: “When I was playing in Alanyaspor and we came to Trabzon for the away match, we went into the hotel restaurant and they made anchovies. We make a lot of anchovies in Greece, and I really like it. I ate a whole plate. Even Bacacetas, who saw me, said to me: “What are you doing? and I replied that I love anchovies very much, I like anchovies here even more ”».
