Tsimikas On Captaining Liverpool: “We Made It Happen, Kid”
The Greek Scouser got his chance to captain the side and it was a big deal for him.
LINZ, Austria - October 14: Kostas Tsimikas, Liverpool's goalkeeper, expressed his joy after being named the team's captain for their 6-3 UEFA Champions League victory over LASK on Wednesday. Tsimikas, who would have taken on the armband in a Premier League match, received the captaincy due to UEFA rules allowing only the captain to address the referee on the field.
Alisson Becker would have donned the captain's armband if it were a domestic game. In his emotional tribute, Tsimikas hailed his team's triumph and their first League Phase win of the season. He acknowledged the significance of the win and his own role in making it happen, stating, "We made it happen, kid." Tsimikas also praised his teammates for their contributions, adding, "Never stop dreaming and believing, guys.
Dreams can come true." The goalkeeper, who previously played on loan at Roma last season and was expected to depart permanently this year, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play for Liverpool once again. Despite being the second choice to starting goalkeeper Milos Kerkez, Tsimikas emphasized the value of any player having the chance to represent the team, regardless of the extent of their involvement.
