Midfielder leaves Sporting, bears no grudge: no regrets | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili said goodbye to Sporting after just one season at Alvalade. The 27-year-old Georgian midfielder was meanwhile officially announced as a new signing for Sevilla and took to social media to leave an emotional message for the Sporting fans.

"Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye, but it is also necessary. I arrived at Sporting with every expectation of becoming the best player and the best person I could be. And today, when I look back, I know I achieved a great part of that thanks to everyone who shared this journey with me."

Despite not managing to take on a leading role in the team, the midfielder has no regrets: "If you asked me today whether I would change my decision to come to Sporting, my answer would still be the same: I do not regret it. Because Sporting is a huge club, with values, high standards and a unique identity. But what I will truly keep with me is the people. My teammates, my friends, the people with whom I shared the dressing room, the training sessions, the victories, the difficult moments, the laughs and so many days together. Wonderful people who will be part of my life forever and who taught me things that perhaps I would not have learned anywhere else."

The player also highlighted what he considers to be one of the main features of the experience of representing the Lions: "Being a footballer is beautiful. Being a Sporting player is wonderful. But the most beautiful thing is the demand to try, every day, to be a better version of yourself and, at the same time, help the teammate beside you to be better."
