Mitrou-Long arrived in Greece for Olympiakos: “To be myself and to help victories come”

His new transfer acquisition “landed”. Olympiakou!

THE Naz Mitrou-Long arrived at noon on Wednesday (22/11) in Greece from Lithuaniain order to join the “red and whites”, from whom it was announced yesterday (21/11).

The player is now expected to join his training sessions Olympiakoualthough she is at full competitive pace, since she was competing normally in her jersey Zalgiris.

Indeed, the new transfer acquisition of Piraeus he also made his first statements at the airport: “I want to be myself. This team is not a team that has different things. They have been together for quite some time. They have leadership and consistency. I want to be myself and contribute and help win victories.”

Regarding his Greek passport, he stated: “It’s something we’ve been talking about for quite some time. I am waiting for it to be validated and to have the passport in my hands. One step at a time on this track.”

Finally, you are asked if you have spoken to any of the Olympic before signing, he commented: “Everything happened very quickly, I didn’t have time to talk about the situation. I spoke to Brazdeikis before he transferred to Cyprus and to my brother Elaiza when he signed in Greece. They were both very excited and said good things to me.”

We remind you that the people of Piraeus really “like” the fact that until the end of 2023 the Mitrou-Long he is expected to hold a Greek passport, which means that he will be able to be in the rotation of domestic events without taking a foreigner’s place.

Nevertheless, Mr Greek Canadian guard will not be entitled to participate in Euroleague until the start of the second round, so he is likely to make his European debut against Armanion January 2.
