Sporting’s new signing focused on the Champions League, says it’s his dream | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis is ready to step onto the scene in the Champions League. After making his starting debut at Estádio de Alvalade against Moreirense, Sporting's right-back showed he is prepared to play his first match in UEFA's millionaire competition, something he considers a childhood dream.

“Champions League games always have their own stories, their own excitement. I think it will be a great game against a great team. And, of course, we are 100% prepared to face them. Since I was a kid, my dream has been to play in this competition, I can hardly wait to make my debut”, he told Sport TV.

Next, Georgios Vagiannidis had the opportunity to talk about his adaptation to the city of Lisbon, but also to the Sporting team: “Lisbon has many similarities with Greece, the climate, the people… the first months were very good. And I hope to stay here much longer. The team is better than I expected. They are champions of Portugal, so the level is very high”.

Besides Portugal and Greece, the lions' right-back showed he is familiar with the country of the next game, Italy, where he has already represented Inter Milan's under-20s: “Great country, Naples is a great city. I have been there once, the fans are amazing, we expect a great atmosphere, in a very difficult stadium”.

This season, with Sporting's jersey, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 12 million euros - participated in six matches. The green and white side's full-back played a total of 351 minutes, in which he managed to make an assist for his teammates.
