About the confidence that comes out on the pitch: “You don’t learn this, you have it or you have it. Constantine has it from a young age, all the other kids were taller and louder. He was sad, I told him I don’t mind Constantine you will grow up and give it all. We say. “
For communicating Greeks with them and the love they showed: “Many Greeks have sent me and they call us goodbye, not only to me but also to my wife. This is our job as parents.
