Some tip Fresneda for Sporting’s bench, others offer a solution | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda has been Sporting's right-back at the start of this season. However, Zeca Rodrigues believes that the position will soon belong to Georgios Vagiannidis, admitting that the Greek needs to "start one or two games" to secure his place.

"He is a very offensive full-back, with great technical quality. He's going into a new environment, he needs some time, but he was also a great acquisition and will bring a lot of joy," said the midfielder, to the newspaper O Jogo, also giving his opinion on Fotis Ioannidis.

For Zeca, Vagiannidis "needs some adaptation", which will come with the departure of Iván Fresneda from Rui Borges' starting eleven: "Starting one or two games to gain confidence and show his value, in the future he will be even better," he admitted.

It's worth remembering that Zeca had already given high praise to Vagiannidis, even before the full-back was signed by Sporting. Since they played together at Panathinaikos, the Luso-Greek is very familiar with the characteristics of the Leonine defender.

This season, with the Sporting jersey, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 8 million euros - has played in three matches. The green and white full-back has been a substitute in all the matches he played, accumulating 98 minutes and one assist.
