The humility that distinguishes him as a person, even before as a footballer, but also the awareness that Cagliari can play its cards to return to Serie A through the playoffs. Christos Kourfalidis already tasted the top category last season and now he wants to go back to it in rossoblù : « Playing this year with Cagliari is a wonderful experience , but also last year against Fiorentina and Atalanta where I could also score», the words of the Greek midfielder born in 2002 during "Il Cagliari in Diretta" on Videolina, Radiolina and the social pages of the L'Unione Sarda Group. « All the teams are strong , from the first to the last in the standings, but so are we. You see Parma, which is the one that plays differently and has Vázquez who I admire a lot. With Pisa it will be a good game, against a valuable opponent and with the Tramoni brothers who I hear almost every day. Just as I hear from Agostini, who gave me the captain's armband in the spring last year: a great pleasure».

Growing. It took a long time for Kourfalidis to make his debut this year: after the Italian Cup he had to wait for November 27 in Frosinone to play in the league, so much so that in the previous two months he had often been joined by Filippi's Primavera. From then on, he only missed last month's match against Ascoli, but he doesn't feel like he's arrived: «I'm not like the others yet, I try to learn from everyone and I admire how Nández doesn't lose a tackle. I'm humble, I don't have preferences between midfielder and attacking midfielder. We are creating a good group, I didn't expect Ranieri to arrive but he is a great coach. He called me Barella's nephew: a great pleasure, but he's a champion and I have to do my best to do well». On his first in B in Frosinone: «I didn't think about playing, then Liverani wrote the formation and when he put my name I didn't believe it, I asked myself what had happened. But I played an excellent match».
