Tzimas Signs Confidently with Albion After 7-0 Defeat
Stefanos Tzimas has joined Albion with confidence, despite witnessing their 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest just days earlier. The young Greek striker signed for the club at the close of the mid-season transfer window, although he continued to play on loan at Nuremburg in Germany’s second tier.
Positive Debut for Tzimas
After the heavy loss, Tzimas opened his Premier League account during a 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest. His late goal complemented Max De Cuyper’s opener, eliciting enthusiastic celebrations from the away supporters.
Unwavering Confidence
In reflecting on the 7-0 defeat, Tzimas expressed no regrets about his decision. He stated, “We talked a lot about this game and we came here to win. We showed our character.” He confirmed that he signed with Albion immediately after the loss because he views the club as the ideal environment for his development.
Adapting to the Premier League
The 19-year-old has noted the noticeable increase in physical demands since moving to England. He shared, “Trust me, it’s a lot of difference. Especially from Greece, Germany was much better about physicality, and now here it is different again.”
Significant Milestone Achieved
Tzimas had previously netted goals in the Carabao Cup, but scoring in the Premier League marked a crucial milestone in his career. “My first goal in Premier League. I’m really happy for this. Premier League was my dream,” he remarked, emphasizing his joy about contributing to the team’s success.
Maintaining Focus
Despite the euphoria of his debut goal, Tzimas stressed the importance of remaining grounded. He said, “We must stay focused because there are plenty of games ahead of us. We have to be ready for the difficult period.”
Settling In
Tzimas is pleased with his transition to Albion. He expressed gratitude for the support from his teammates, stating, “My time is really nice. I’m settling very well here.” The young striker is excited about his future and is committed to adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League.
