He wants to give back to PAS what he offered him as well as to the world for the love he showed to his face, especially during the difficult moments of the injuries
The organization of PAS Ioannina is in full action, as yesterday the renewal of the contract with Pedro Conte for another year was announced, today the acquisition of Boris Kleiman for two years and so on. Also, the medical examinations were completed, while today and tomorrow the ergometric tests will be done. From Monday everyone starts training normally, as it will be the first day of the preparation program that will continue in the following days.
Let’s start with transcripts. PAE formalized the deal with Conte that was known for a long time. Pedro Conte, before leaving for the Arab Emirates in September 2018, had two amazing years with PAS, even claiming the first place in the scorer’s table in the Super League championship. Many rank him with the late Oscar Alvarez, Thali Tsirimokos as the best forwards who wore the shirt of PAS. Returning to Ioannina in the summer of 2021, the fans of Ioannina did not have time to cheer him on the field, who gave him a warm welcome, because the Spanish forward seemed terribly unlucky, suffering cruciate ligament tears in both legs at the start of the last two championships. One of the reasons he agreed to continue in PAS was the desire of the Spanish striker to close his career in Ioannina and repay what the team and the world offered him with his love. Sure, he may not be the Conte of 2016, when he first arrived in Ioannina from Spanish third-division side Merida, burdened with another 7 years on his back and two serious injuries, but he has shown he hasn’t forgotten the art of scoring goals , scoring an amazing goal in Livadia in the last match of last season, where he managed to compete for a while.
AGREEMENT ALSO WITH ATHANASIOU
Vassilis Athanasiou played well last season, before Tsintotas came he carried the weight of crucial games under the posts and without hesitation fell into deep water when it turned out that the French goalkeeper Prior, who had been acquired to fill the void of Lodingin, was not the one they were waiting for and there was a serious goalkeeper problem in the team. The formalization of his contract extension is also expected for him.
KLEIMAN AND THE OTHERS
Boris Kleiman will be added to the group of goalkeepers, after he got involved with the legal pending cases he had. Detailed report in another post. Yiannis Kiakos is also an internal transfer, as he was injured for most of the championship last year. Also new faces are the young Mina and Rizos who returned to PAS after being loaned to the Vender Bremis B’ and Thesprotos Igoumenitsa teams. In the past, Tsavos, Stamatelopoulos, Radou will form. For this reason they did not start preparation. Every year, PAS conducted tests of mainly young players who were proposed by various managers’ offices, wanting the coaches to have an opinion. This story continues this year as well. Already with the team training a young expatriate right-back and a 22-year-old midfielder from Slovakia. If they satisfy Staikos in the first instance, the testing time can be extended.
FROM TODAY ERGOMETRICALLY
Both yesterday and the day before yesterday, there were relaxed trainings, more with running to better adapt the players coming from the holidays. Thanasis Staikos welcomed them, wishing them a good year, without injuries and with many successes on the pitches. “In order to be okay in the winter and get good results, we have to work a lot in the summer,” he said characteristically, adding: “You realize it yourself, you are responsible people and good professionals, that for us the summer vacation is essentially over. From now on, only work and rest, nothing else.” From Monday, the schedule of the preparation that will continue in Poland will be ready. Staikos asked for three friendlies in Poland and three more from the beginning of August in Greece until the league starts. The one in Greece is closed and will take place in Agrinio with Panaitolikos on August 13th. There are also contacts with Aris for a friendly at “Kleanthis Vikelidis”. In Poland, a friendly will be played against the local team Corona from Kielce, where the basic preparation stage will take place and efforts are being made to close two more friendlies.
