After Guillaume Samika and Pavel Zagumni also the Colombian Agamez left the greens. He did not travel far, he went to neighboring Turkey. There he will continue his upwards sports career. The unstable financial situation and low incomes were the reasons that chased the opposite to the neighboring Turky. In his farewell letter he expresses his willingness to return to the team under better conditions and does not fail to emphasize that his contacts with the management of Panathinaikos and with the coach Stelios Kazazis are very good.
"Sweetheart" as his teammates called him briefly is one of the strongest, most determined and most promising opposites in the world. The undisputed talent 2.08 m high was a favorite of the fans of Panathinaikos.
His first steps in the Greek volleyball, however, were not at all easy. Lieberman came to Greece when he was only 19 years old. He enters into the Nike team. He struggles with difficulties and can not adapt easily to the new environment. He comes alone, and a further complication is the fact that he does not speak a word of English or Greek. "In the beginning things were very difficult indeed. I did not speak the language, and I did not know the customs of the people here. I do not hide that every day things grew more difficult," he recalls today. Things take a better turn when Agamez moves from Nike to Pankrati. Between him and the coach a good contact is created. Finally, the young opposite is valued. He ows his strong 2006 season exactly to the help of Arseniadis.
The strong character of the Colombian makes an impression. His way of playing which from one game to the other is getting better and better also does not go unnoticed. No wonder that in 2007 he puts the shirt of Panathinaikos. But this start also proves to be difficult. So difficult that today he does not even want to remember his first year on the team of the greens...
It may sound crazy, but the coach at that time, Argentinean in his origin is clear that Agamez should not play. "At least while I'm on the team" – he is explicit at that time. So the athlete who just came can not do what he loves the most, and spends a full year in the reserves ...
Things come to their place little by little when in the next year Mauro Beruto takes the team. Beruto leads the greens to the championship finals.
From 2008 onwards the contribution of the Colombian to the greens becomes greater. He became an indispensable player on the team. The culmination occurs during the finals for the Cup of Greece during the finals of the championship. With the 103-point, which he brought he became one of the best volleyball players of Panathinaikos.
