Liverpool supporters were treated to the news of their full-back Kostas Tsimikas signing a contract extension with the club on Monday. The Greece international has been an important player at the club since joining them from Olympiacos in 2020. With every passing game, Tsimikas has gradually become an important player for the club. Hence, the news of him committing to Liverpool for the long term would have been met with cheer by their supporters.
Kostas Tsimikas stated that he believes Liverpool will achieve many things and he is keen to be a part of it. “I feel very glad to be here to extend my contract. I feel like all the sacrifices I did and other things, the work I put in, [that] everything pays off. But this keeps me fully motivated for the rest. As I’ve said in many, many interviews, this team has many, many things to achieve all together and I wanted to be from the first minute a part of it,” he told Liverpoolfc.com.
Asked whether it was an easy decision to make, Tsimikas said, “Yeah, it was very, very easy! I think [when] both parts, me and the team, want that, it becomes much, much easier. I wanted from the start to stay here, I really love everything here: the people, every single morning when I see them here in the training ground I feel really glad, and the players, the staff, everybody. Even the weather became sweeter for me! And as I say, I am very, very glad.”
The Greece international also went on to explain why Liverpool is the perfect match for him at this stage of his career. “I think it is the right club because they believe in me. Always when I play for the team I give absolutely everything, I try to help everybody when I play and even if I don’t play. I think and I feel an important player for the players, for the mood especially, and when I play. I’m really, really happy to be here as I said and I think for me it was the right step to extend my contract and stay here,” he added.
Tsimikas then spoke about what he likes about the Premier League side, as he recalled a certain memory from two years ago. “I think everything makes this club so special, especially two years ago when we won the cups and had the parade. Everybody in the team was unhappy because of the Champions League final we lost, and we came second in the league, but for the fans, we saw all the happiness on their faces at the parade and [they were] next to us, to celebrate, and that was extra motivation for us to forget everything [about] the bad things. So, that’s why this club is very blessed and everybody loves the club [and] when we go abroad, everybody has the red shirt and celebrates for us. It’s special,” he explained.
