Konstantinos Karetsas on Scotland Fans’ Jeers: ‘Scored and Silenced Them, Great Feeling’

The impressive start of Konstantinos Karetsas with the national team in both matches against Scotland confirmed all the hype surrounding his name. With his ‘magical’ performances in the national football matches against Scotland, the 17-year-old striker proved why he is considered one of the most talented players globally for his age. After Greece’s emphatic 3-0 win at Hampden Park, Scottish media swarmed the young Greek star for comments. Speaking to BBC, Karetsas explained how the jeers from the stands gave him extra motivation and made him enjoy scoring even more when he netted in the 42nd minute. ‘I did a dive and fell down! Then the fans started whistling every time I got the ball. So, when I scored, I silenced the crowd, and that was a great feeling,’ Karetsas emphasized. When asked if the jeers motivated him further, he replied, ‘Of course, it always gives you motivation when you play away and the fans don’t like you. It’s good for a player when they boo you because it gives you motivation.’
