Konstantinos Laifis spoke to the newspaper Protathlitis, describing it as a challenge to wear red and white.
"It 's still early and I do not have any information, other than the fact that I understand that Standard wants to keep me. "I still do not know what they are planning and what contacts have been made, but if Olympiacos wants me, I definitely want to take my chance, to play in the Greek championship and to show what I deserve", the Cypriot defender initially told the Champion to added: "Olympiacos is a very big team and it is definitely a big challenge for me to be able to establish myself with the red and white jersey".
For the people of Olympiakos who have expressed their desire to return, he said: "It is very nice to see people wanting to see you in their team. It fills you with satisfaction and responsibilities ".
On what he can do better as a stopper or as a defensive midfielder: "I think I can do better in the center of defense. But I am definitely able to offer in the midfield as well ".
For the good tradition that Olympiacos has with Giannis Okkas and Michalis Konstantinou: "Really, I would very much like to be the sequel. I would give my best to succeed at Olympiakos like them ".
The ace of Standard Liege also referred to his course so far. "From 16 to 19 I was a member of the Nottingham Forest Youth team. My experience in England helped me a lot. If I hadn't been there for three years, I wouldn't be at this level now. "
Finally, for the man who helped him the most, he said: "I was decisively helped by Mr. Andre Pau, who was my coach at Anorthosis for two years. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be taking all these opportunities. He trusted me from the beginning. I think that all together played a role. The circumstances, the coach who believed in me, my experience in England, my job and year by year I get better ".
