"I have said many times that over the past two years our team was fighting for the championship. I came to give my contribution." This is how the former Panathinaikos player Dimitris Salpingidis commented on his transfer to PAOK Salonika, which brought negative comments from many fans. This didn’t 'touched' the national striker who stated in the Greek media: "I am not complaining, and as I have said before I will respect such reactions if they arise.." Furthermore, he stressed that he is sure he took the right decision and is ready to give his best to help PAOK win the championship.
