However nothing changes for me. I regard this call as a reward for our hard work since the beginning of the season and I will continue my effort to improve with each match. It is important for PAOK to have five players in the national squad and I believe that other guys have the potential to represent Greece as well.

On a personal level, I will try to live up to the expectations of those who believe in me and I hope that I will help the national team on their quest”.
