Konstantinos Tzolakis was born in Chania on November 8, 2002. From a young age he loved football. In 2015 he went to small Platanias where he stayed for three years. In 2018 he moved to Olympiakos juniors and since then his improvement has been wonderful. He made his debut in the first team, in 2019, in the semi-final of the Cup against PAOK.

In the championship, he played for the first time in a match against Aris, replacing the French goalkeeper, Bobby Alain in the 78th minute. His next appearance was in a very crucial game against AEK in the cup final, when the main goalkeeper, Jose Sa, was injured, and Tzolakis took his place.

The young Tzolakis had some important saves keeping his clean sheet intact, where Olympiacos prevailed 1-0 and won the prestigious trophy. On October 7, 2020, the talented goalkeeper signed a new contract with Olympiakos until the summer of 2024. The following season, Tzolakis was mainly the 3rd goalkeeper of Olympiakos, but managed to play in a total of 6 games (5 in the league and 1 participation in the Cup against Aris).

Now his value in the transfer market stands at 5 million euros and surely after his wonderful performance against Fenerbahce he will rise even more. Now Konstantinos Tzolakis has grown, grown taller and matured. From where he was almost with both feet outside Olympiakos, now no one is going to move him. With Agriogiannis (goalkeeping coach) changing the course of history in this case.

Tzolakis put his signature on a "golden" page in the history of Olympiakos. The renewal that will take place, we do not discuss it, is the least. The "lot" is that position "1" is already occupied. For many years to come...

His father's amulet

The young goalkeeper revealed what his secret behind the saves was. He emphasized that he had the... feeling but also a talisman that his father gave him during the match. On whether he knew where he would fall: "We did an analysis but I also had a feeling. The players are looking at penalties and you have to hit the right angle."

On the amulet his father gave him: "My father gave me an amulet and I thank him for following me this far.". About the final: "Step by step and of course we dream of it".
