“In Greece Parma would be favorites for the title”. The full back Vasilios Zagaritis he spoke like this about the ducals after their promotion to Serie A to the microphones of the Greek media Metrosport: “The teams we played against this year, right from the opening friendlies, were of Bundesliga and Serie A level. We played in the Cup with Fiorentina and came close to reaching the next round. In Serie B there are strong teams with players with important salaries. – Zagaritis continues as reported Parmalive.com – The team achieved the goal, but we also became Serie B champions for the first time in the team’s history. It was a good year although I certainly wish I had played more, but this is secondary to the team’s successes.”
Then the usual question about the future with the Greek full-back who is expiring and will most likely not renew: “I don’t know if I will continue here. My contract is about to expire. I haven’t spoken to anyone yet, but I don’t think I’ll stay. A return to Greece? It depends, I wish there was a plan, not just going somewhere for the sake of going.”
Finally, a thought on his teammate Colak, who arrived in the summer to be the starting centre-forward and instead was often relegated to the bench during the season: “Colak also didn’t have the playing time he would have liked. He helped, though, when change was coming. He has given experience, his goals do not demonstrate what he can give. For him, things will go better in Serie A. He liked Thessaloniki a lot, he even bought a house. He loves Greece and PAOK, even though he has had ups and downs in his performance. He is a center forward who just needs one touch to score.”
