In a recent interview on Liverpool FC's official website, Greek defender Tzimikas shared his positive thoughts on his team's pre-season performance and fondly recalled his personal milestone moment against Manchester United. His words were filled with pride in the team's new look, the realization of his personal dream and gratitude for the fans' deep appreciation.
Zimikas began by emphasizing the confidence and understanding that the team has shown in preseason, which he believes is a remarkable change since the new manager took over. "The way we play is taking shape and everyone is stepping onto the pitch with immense confidence." He mentioned that the new manager's guidance has refreshed the team, not only with a clearer tactical mindset, but also with a positive atmosphere that the whole team is immersed in. "This new mindset is what drives us forward and we must persevere and keep improving in pursuit of even greater excellence."
Talking about the goal scored against Manchester United, Zimicas was overwhelmed with joy. "At that moment, I knew deep down that I had realized a long-held dream - to wear the Liverpool shirt and contribute a crucial goal for the team." The goal, he said candidly, was not only an acknowledgement of his personal efforts but also a deep recognition of his identity as a member of Liverpool.
In addition, Tsimikas shared a heartwarming personal story. "Just a few days after the goal, my brother's family also welcomed a new life with the birth of my little nephew." He said that the goal and the arrival of the new member of the family seemed to have some kind of marvelous connection, which made him feel doubly happy and fulfilled.
Finally, Zimicas did not forget to express his gratitude to the Liverpool fans who have been accompanying the team. "Wherever we are, we can feel the passion and support of Liverpool fans from all over the world. Their songs and cheers are our most solid backing and our motivation to keep moving forward." He said fondly, "Thanks to every fan for their company and support, it is your love that makes us stronger and braver."
