Reporter: Dimitrios, you are currently 35 years old, a mature player in the world of football. How do you maintain such exceptional form and skill at this stage of your career?
Dimitrios Kontos: Well, it's a combination of factors. Firstly, I've always had an unwavering dedication to my craft. I believe in doing everything I can to get better, sacrificing whatever is necessary for my footballing career. Additionally, age and experience have taught me the importance of taking care of myself physically and mentally. As a younger player, I wasn't very health-conscious, but now I've adopted healthier habits and a more disciplined lifestyle.
Reporter: That's impressive, Dimitrios. Your recent performances have been exceptional, conceding only one goal in four matches this season. What do you attribute this success to?
Dimitrios Kontos: Thank you. I believe it's a combination of my experience, constant training, and the support of my teammates. As a goalkeeper, communication and trust with the defense are essential. We work together as a unit to defend our goal, and that is reflected in our performance on the pitch.
Reporter: Speaking of teamwork, what do you look for in a club, and how important is team chemistry and culture to you?
Dimitrios Kontos: Team chemistry and culture are paramount to me. I believe a club that invests in fostering a strong bond among the players off the pitch creates a winning environment on it. When everyone is united and focused towards a common goal, it enhances our performance and drives us to succeed.
Reporter: Fascinating insight, Dimitrios. Is there any club you particularly enjoy playing against?
Dimitrios Kontos: Yes, I would say my favorite club to play against is COB. The matches against them are always intense and competitive. It's a challenge I revel in, and it brings out the best in me.
Reporter: And what is your favorite formation and play style?
Dimitrios Kontos: Personally, I prefer the 4-4-2 formation, and I thoroughly enjoy a defensive play style. I find satisfaction in shutting down opponents' attacks and keeping a clean sheet.
Reporter: Lastly, Dimitrios, could you share an interesting fact about your life that not many people know?
Dimitrios Kontos: Well, believe it or not, I used to be an avid fan of fast food when I was younger. But as I've grown older, I've realized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So, I've transitioned to a keto-based diet and reduced my intake of fast food significantly.
Reporter: That's quite a transformation! Thank you for sharing that with us, Dimitrios. We wish you continued success in your career.
Dimitrios Kontos: Thank you, it was my pleasure. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my journey with everyone.
