The Bloombergs, Bates and Carr visited Thessaloniki for Mars and made their first statements

Three of Aris’ transfers this year have met Thessaloniki, with Roberts Blumbergs, Manny Bates and Marcus Carr arriving in Greece on behalf of the Yellows.

The three players have been announced by the club and, as announced by Aris, are in our country without failing to make their first statements on the team’s official website.

Bloomberg’s statements in detail: “I don’t look too far ahead, I try to focus on the moment. I want to watch each game individually and try to get as many wins as possible. I had a pivotal conversation with the trainer that made me decide to come to Mars. I also saw a lot of videos of the world of Mars and the atmosphere in the stadium and that convinced me to accept.

I can attack from a distance, but also close to the basket. I like to play defense, I can play all positions from ‘1’ to ‘5’ defensively and do whatever the coach asks me to do.”

Manny Bates said: “I look forward to competing with Aris at the highest level. My main trait is good defense. I have seen many videos of the world of Mars and the crazy atmosphere and I want to experience it. I’m a pretty good blocker, I want to energize the team and do whatever it takes to win. I always play with power.”

“I know our fans are passionate and I love that. It will take me some time to settle in, it’s my first time competing outside of the US, but I’ll get better with time and races.”

Marcus Carr in turn said: “I’m looking forward to being here, meeting my teammates and seeing the city. I can’t wait for the season to start. I had an adventure with my luggage but the matter will be resolved by tomorrow. I learned a lot about the team, I know they have passionate fans and play in a competitive league. I also know that Aris was played by Elaiza Mitrou-Long, my friend. Last week we talked and he told me everything about the world, the city, the team.

I’ve seen several videos of Aris fans being crazy about the team. And on my social media I’ve had a lot of messages from fans of the team giving me encouragement ahead of the new season. The stadium is one of the best in Greece, I can’t wait to meet them and play in front of them.”
