“If all goes well, I will be available for the next matches”

” I am fine now. I come back physically and mentally. This adductor injury was painful, but now I’m training normally and coming back. I am at a good psychological level. Fortunately, I have my family, friends and the medical team by my side. They help me out. If all goes well, I will be available for the next matches and I think this year will go well, he said in comments reported by Poteaux Carrés. What concerns me now is to be completely well and to be able to participate in a lot of matches and we will see what happens. In the French championship, I saw the fastest players, very good players. Here we rely more on individual abilities than on team play. The way of playing is a little more chaotic and anything can happen. “

“Not a bad choice to continue with the ASSE jersey”

Retsos also spoke about his future, as he is on ASSE until the end of the season. “I still have a year and a half contract with Leverkusen, a team that I really like. If I hadn’t had an injury there, I might not be in France now. But the past is the past, he continued. The coach decided that I should continue elsewhere on loan. Of course, here in France, they like me a lot and I was positively surprised by the infrastructure and the championship, so it wouldn’t be a bad choice to continue with the Saint-Étienne jersey. They are a very good team, with a very small average age. The coach relies on these guys a lot. Of course, we had negative results which provoked reactions from the supporters. The question is therefore to find the stability that we need. “
