THE Unaispeaking on his official channel Panathinaikou shortly after his transfer from Marseille was made official, he commented that:
“I will not repeat the mistakes of the past. The coach showed me that he wants me and I in turn showed that I want to start this new adventure. I want to achieve what I dreamed of since I was little”.
What he said in detail:
“I thought it was better for my future to come here. I spoke to the coach and the management. They showed a lot of interest. It was a difficult decision, but I believe that both for my career and for the situation I found myself in, I made the best choice.
I had to make the decision before the end of the transfer window. I think this whole situation matured me. I will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
I came here, I want to give 100% of my potential to reach the best possible level and achieve what I dreamed of since I was little.
I am a very emotional character. As a football player I need to be supported. To frame me. I spoke to the coach and he outlined an ambitious plan. That made me happy. The coach showed me that he wants me and I in turn showed that I want to start this new adventure. Also, Panathinaikos has very warm supporters who follow the team everywhere and it reminds me of Marseille because the same thing happens there.
I want to focus on what the coach, the technical director and the president tell me. It was a tough year for me last year. I had an injury, but also some personal issues outside of football, which affected me. I was not able to work at the best possible level. That’s why I said I don’t want to make the same mistakes. I come here with very positive thoughts, confident and willing to help the team. I know he has many loyal friends and I want to help as much as I can to achieve the goals that have been set.
I saw how dedicated the fans are and how much they support the team. I want them to know that I came to give my best and do everything I can to help the team achieve its goals.”.
