Planet Swans ArchivesKonstantopoulos signed on loan from Coventry City last week just ahead of the Swans 3-0 victory over Southampton, but he was an unused substitute on Saturday as Artur Krysiak made his league debut.
But with the Swans taking on the division’s top scorers in Wolves this evening, Konstantopoulos seems certain to be handed his first Swansea start as they look to complete a league double over Wolves.
A goal from Jordi Gomez and two from Jason Scotland saw Wolves defeated at the Liberty earlier this month and they will be keen to repeat that scoreline as they look for the result that will lift them into the top six for the first time this season.
Speaking to the Evening Post on the eve of the game, Konstantopoulos said “I’ll be looking to play against Wolves
“I have come here to try to get back in action and play a few games.
“But of course, it’s up to the manager. You can understand why he went for Artur on Saturday because I hadn’t even spoken to any of the other players.
“It’s difficult to come in and play when that’s the case, especially as a keeper because you need to have good communication with your back four.
“But I have to show the manager that I am ready and hope he puts me in.
“Artur looked calm and the clean sheet will have done a lot of good for his confidence.
“I think Saturday was a huge experience for him.
“Swansea played some very good football
“They tried to get the ball down all the time and to play it out wide which makes them attractive to watch.
“Not only that, it’s successful too, because they scored three goals.
“I saw them a few times in League One last season. The manager has his mentality and the players have obviously responded to that.
“They played good football last year and, as they are showing, that style can get you results whoever you’re up against.
“It’s going to be difficult because Wolves are especially good at home,” he says.
“But from what I have seen of Swansea, they have nothing to fear in this division.
“More performances like the one against Southampton and they will have no problems.”
Dimi was also questioned over whether there was a chance that the move from Coventry could be a permanent one “It’s too early to say
“We will see how things go in the next couple of weeks.
“I haven’t had any discussions about that and for the moment it’s about me trying to help the team and, hopefully, benefiting at the same time.
“I would say that in the short period of time I have been here, everything has been positive.
“But we will have to think about possibly staying on later.”
