The comparison to Robert Lewandowski fills Tasos Douvikas with pride

Tasos Douvikas is riding a wave of success, even back home. Coming off the bench, he scored the goal at Belgrade’s Marakana Stadium that decided the Nations League match between Serbia and his native Greece (a great header in stoppage time, ed.), the Como forward is highly regarded by the Greek press not only for his on-field skills but also for his kindness and conduct off the field.

After willingly fielding a barrage of questions from his fellow Greek reporters—who had turned out in large numbers in Serbia—he also spoke exclusively with Sportal.it. When asked about the comparison to Polish striker Robert Lewandowski—a comparison endorsed by more than one Greek journalist—his eyes lit up: “He’s a great player; the comparison makes me very happy.”

Speaking of strikers, Moise Kean also arrived on the shores of Lake Como a few weeks ago, having been signed from Fiorentina. Douvikas agrees with his coach, Cesc Fabregas, who, once the transfer window closed, said he was very happy with the pool of forwards at his disposal. “He’s really strong; I’m getting along very well with him,” said the 1999-born former Asteras Tripolis and Celta Vigo player.
