The Greek forward, who missed a large part of last season due to an injury to his right knee, assured that he is fully recovered and sent an ambitious message to the Sporting fans.
"Last year did not end as we wanted. We were on our path throughout the whole season, but in the end we did not achieve our goal. This season we are hungrier than ever and we are eager to fight for the League and for everything," he said in comments to Sporting TV.
The Greek striker also spoke about his physical recovery. "It has been a long time since I played, so I have missed it a lot. I am working very hard for that, because I had tough moments last season. But now I am ready to play," he assured.
The player in the green and white shirt acknowledged, however, that the first days of pre-season have been demanding. "We are here to work, to be better every day, we have time for that and we are very committed. We are tired and the temperature has also been high, but I know it is a normal process in football", he revealed.
