An interview with the German “Bild” was granted by Christos Tzoliswho has caught the eye with his impressive appearances wearing her shirt Fortuna Dusseldorf!
The young striker has 8 goals with 2 assists in the 13 games he has played in this season, and has also scored in four consecutive games for our U21 National Team!
Loan to Fortuna from the NorwichJolis revealed his big goal, which is none other than playing in the Bundesliga, while he also talked about the difficult times he spent in England, where he rarely played and had stopped enjoying football.
What the young striker said in detail:
On the move he makes quite often on the pitch and reminds us of Robben and Ribery: “I practice it over and over, even in my free time. I also train often during the summer, on vacation in Greece. Movement excited me as a child. I’m also training my left foot, constantly learning new dribbles and sudden moves so defenders don’t adjust to me. To be as good as Robben and Ribery, I have to train a lot”.
For his childhood idols: “As a child, I liked Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo equally. Now I admire Ronaldo more, who still wants to improve, at 38. He never stops working. Ronaldo’s mentality is exemplary for me. I also see more and more wingers in the Champions League, for example. How they move, how they carry the ball, how they dribble, when exactly they pass. I want to take care of these details. Kylian Mbappe is currently the measure of everything, but I’m also excited about a German, Leroy Sane of Bayern. It’s hard to know because he’s so fast. His speed and intelligence in the game impresses me”.
On when he will be in the Bundesliga and if this will happen with Fortuna: “It is my big goal. I want to go there 100%. You never know what the future will bring, but right now I feel at home in Dusseldorf. I really like it here. The important thing is to enjoy the next few months with the team, to be a starter, to help with assists and goals so that we can do even better. I love soccer. Thanks to Fortuna, I’m enjoying it again”.
On his presence in Norwich: “Unfortunately, I didn’t feel well in England. I had no joy in football. I rarely played and wasn’t as confident as I was here. Even in difficult times, I was valued by Fortuna and I was not left out. After a string of good performances, I had a very poor performance in Kaiserslautern recently. After such a performance, you naturally come out changed. But the coach helped me and talked to me a lot in training. He told me ‘you can’t take it back, look forward’. I was surprised to find myself back in the starting shape of the next race. I knew I could handle it, but I was given the opportunity. I’m lucky to have my coach and my teammates”.
About the atmosphere in the team: “I have never experienced such solidarity, even off the pitch. We meet often and recently I watched the matches between Dortmund and Newcastle and Milan and Paris in the Champions League with some players. Isaac Johannesson cooked for us. I have already told the children that next time I will cook. My specialty is salmon, steaks, potatoes, vegetables and salads. It’s a nice habit to come home from training and prepare something delicious”.
On whether he has charms before games: “I’m a bit cautious. I always step on the grass with my right foot first. I also have a ritual that has to do with my faith and one that is supposed to protect me and ward off the evil eye. I keep it to myself or it won’t work”.
