In detail what he said to Manolis Mousourakis:
For the timing of the negotiations with Hashin for the sale of PAE:
“Mr Hassin’s side called for a timetable for the implementation of the agreement we gave it to him. Those terms I had set for the sale of the PAE had been fulfilled for this and we were driving a deal, as it had also passed by the Professional Sports Committee. He stayed a last step to put his signature, asked for a deadline and we are at this stage. There is an ongoing issue, that is, if Mr Hassin puts the amount, then he can get the PAE. I was convinced that this move would move on, as Hassin had spoiled a respectable financial amount and had fulfilled all the terms, and passed through the Professional Sports Committee, proving that he had the money. ”
For his presence in Atromitos:
“I am the longest -running owner of Atromitos (20 years) and I believe that at some point there is a beginning and an end. I love football, but I think at some point a circle is closing. ”
For support from the Municipal Authority:
“It’s a big chat. I have said it many times to the whole family of Atromitos, as there should be greater activation, as Peristeri is one of the largest municipalities in Greece. This team has brought a lot of discrimination for its size and could have more support. I do not want to be unknown, of course, as the municipality has fulfilled what we had agreed, but it could support more. ”
For the next day of Atromitos:
“Whatever happens, I will always do very seriously and great responsibility, because what interests me is to ensure the viability of the club. Especially for the world of Atromitos, I am a guarantee paper for the team, which has made them rest in some things. They should be activated above, as I said. And it’s not just the financial one. This is what I ask for from the world of Atromitos: greater activation, greater participation. ”
For the choice of Vulca:
“Whatever decision I make is together with my partners. I have a technical director, Yiannis Angelopoulos who trust him and had devised a plan b. Among the coaches we were interested in was Leonidas Volos, whom we distinguished for his morality. He has many possibilities, we wanted him and we reached an agreement. Everything ran very quickly.
We also had the preparation plan ready, so when it signed we departed directly for Ptolemais. Yiannis Angelopoulos has been in the field for years and has an agenda. As soon as Vokolos emerged, we quickly ran the developments. ”
For the goals of the new season:
“Have a competitive team. There is already the base from previous years and the whole need to be built from the beginning, as last year. It may be a trivial, but we go to play with the game. We cannot say that it is our goal 1-4 or 5-8. To be realists. We know that it is Greek football and the status that has been created. There are 4 greats who have huge budgets and followed by Mars who has three times the budget of the rest. Certainly the 5th place gives the league interest and the teams of our own dynamics have to claim to go to the Cup final. OFI went last year. If we want to set realistic goals, for teams of our own range, we must target 5-8 and a good run in the cup. ”
For racing design:
“Leonidas Vokolos wants to play with 4-4-2, so we are looking for an aggressive, left back because of Athanasios’ departure, while for the stoppers I can reveal to you that Mansour has renewed. There may be another addition to the defense, and the coach will also see what changes they may need. ”
For upgrading projects and cover on the court:
“It is in our intentions, as we want to reform it and renovate it. To make aesthetic interventions. The interventions we have made as the PAE are a high quality training center, where a footballer can evolve and improve. ”
For Athanasiou and Kaloskami:
“We want children to come out of our academies. Athanasiou I think was the leading left back in the Greek league. For me he had a place at Olympiacos. I think he will be a very good player in the Portuguese Championship and as I have told him he will return and play at Olympiacos one day.
Kaloskamis has a huge talent with a huge perspective. Garcia was not afraid to give young kids opportunities and improved them, so Kaloskamis got a few games that he played. It is a project that will play an important role in Greek football. ”
