National Teams: The “diamonds” of the homogeneity

The EPO post

The flame for national teams burns loudly and away from the Greek stadiums. In academies of giants such as Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Palmeira, football young Greek players grow up with talent, ambitions and desire to return from birthday land to their fatherland to wear the coat of arms.

The scouter of the National Teams K16 and K15, Yiannis Amanatidis, in good cooperation with the technical director of National Team Development Teams, Dimitris Papadopoulos, implement a method of exploitation of the “diamonds” of the Greek Diamonds, with the aim of expanding the expansionists.

The first act was “played” in May Development Tournaments in Croatia (National K 15) and Finland (National K16), where the following expatriates participated in the missions of representative bands:

National K16:

Sidilis Constantine (goalkeeper, 2009, Augsburg),

Karagelis Konstantinos (defender, 2009, Stuttgart),

Kitos Anastasios (defender, 2009, Borussia Dortmund),

Kostoglou Christos (midfielder, 2009 Borussia Dortmund).

National K15:

Sarakatsanis Angelos (defender, 2011, Bayern Munich),

Kadoglou Alexandros (midfielder, 2010, Eintracht Frankfurt),

Gramozis Athanasios (striker, 2010, Borussia Dortmund),

Neto Ioannis (striker, 2010, Palmeira)

Concerning the calls and the efforts of the use of young players from Germany, Mr. Yiannis Amanatidis emphasized the following:

“Initially, I am very happy for the price of cooperation with the national teams, and especially for the opportunity to offer and contribute from another post to the development and improvement of Greek football by finding and exploiting talented footballers abroad. In collaboration with the Technical Director of Development National Teams, Dimitris Papadopoulos, we are watching with particular interest the progress of Greek expatriate footballers at a young age competing in Germany. The majority of children have a high level of racing, professional mentality and the profile needed to meet the demands of national teams and their racing obligations. The main objective is to recognize and support players with Greek roots, which can strengthen national teams in the future. There are too many children from the community who have talent and opportunities to join the national groups and this motivates us to continue the effort to make use of them. We emphasize the football identity we want to have and the football evolution we believe will exist in these children. Of course we are in constant collaboration with clubs and parents to ensure a smooth transition to the national football family of Greece”
