Sporting outcast says he sought advice from ex-Benfica man | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili was officially presented as Sevilla's new signing and did not hide his huge excitement about taking this important step in his career. The former Sporting player revealed that he had been in contact with well-known figures in international football, with special emphasis on Greek goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, the former Benfica shot-stopper with whom he now shares the dressing room.

"I spoke with Vlachodimos before signing and he immediately told me that Sevilla are an incredible club, with absolutely fantastic supporters and enormous day-to-day demands for every match. His opinion was key to my decision and confirmed everything I already felt about the enormous stature of this institution," he told the Andalusian club's media.

The new signing for the Nervión side described himself as a footballer of great intensity, with strong physical commitment and a great work rate in the middle of the pitch. The player is returning to Spanish football one year later.

Kochorashvili promised to give his all in every play to help the team achieve all of its goals for the current La Liga season. "I am 100% ready to give my life for this club in every match. I know perfectly well the responsibility that comes with wearing this badge on my chest, and I come with the utmost ambition to achieve great victories and make our fans very happy throughout the season that is now beginning," he concluded.
