Sphairopoulos: “Petrusev knows the team and will help us achieve our goals”

End of a serial which concerns him Olympic for months now. The “red and white” officially announced his concession Philip Petrusev in the Red Star in the form of loan until the finale of the current season.

The coach of the Serbian club also spoke about this transfer, Yannis Sfeiropouloswho although stressed that a week ago there was no question of getting high, Boloboi’s injury “forced” the team to move for the acquisition of Petrusev from Olympiakos.

In fact, he emphasized that the Serbian forward/center knows things and situations in Red Star, due to his first term, expecting that he will immediately help the club.

The statements of Yannis Sfeiropoulos in detail:



On Petrusev’s transfer and the situation a week earlier: “A week ago I said that we would not go into the market for a player, but this injury (to Boloboi) forced us to start negotiations for Petrusev. The whole organization reacted quickly, contacted Olympiakos and we thank them for lending him to us. A player is coming who knows the team will help us achieve our goals. We can use it in various ways. In defense, we expect him to show himself in the field of rebounds as well.”

Regarding whether there is the possibility of further support: “Perhaps. We have to think about what is best for the team. We will still look at the market but it is not something urgent for us now, especially now that we have brought in Philip. If we find a solution that can help us, we might bring in another player. Perhaps. I can’t tell you yes or no.”
