Quotes:
“Lampros is a right footed player but with can as well play with his left foot. He can play in all behind forward positions but as a center for as well. This is due to his excellent sense of the space around the “nets”. Additionally because of his height, he is quite tall for his age, and by taken advantage of careful positioning in the “nets” area he scores quite a few times with his head.”
