Kirzis' Remarks on Roberz and Papoullis Transfers

Apollon's president, Nikos Kirzis, addressed the transfers of Roberz and Papoullis during a meeting with fans. Regarding Roberz, he explained that the club's policy does not allow for two-year contracts for players over 35, and the offered terms were the same as those from AEK. He believes Roberz should have chosen to stay with the team that supported him for 7 years. Concerning Papoullis, he stated that the player himself expressed a desire for change and was not offered a two-year contract. Kirzis assured that Apollon did not sell players to AEK and hinted that some players may not be able to handle the pressure of the team.
