Tzolis set to play at Alvalade, earns praise from Sporting player | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda previewed the match against Club Brugge and noted that the Belgian team plays with a tactical system similar to Sporting's, which is an advantage. The player also spoke about a possible duel with the Greek Christos Tzolis, a footballer already linked to the Alvalade Club.

"I think tomorrow's game is very important, but we have to take it game by game. The most important thing is to focus on tomorrow's game. All Champions League games are tough. We have to think about tomorrow's game, then we can think about the rest," he began by saying.

The Spanish footballer spoke about his progress at Sporting and thanked Rui Borges: "Both the coach and the staff were important for me to stay at Sporting. I managed to evolve and I can offer much more to the club. Thanks to the coach and the staff."

The athlete spoke about the 'rivalry' with Georgios Vagiannidis: "It's been a very healthy competition. Very good. We have a very good relationship between us and we also have a group where, luckily, we speak English and can communicate very well. It's been very good for him and for me, from a sporting point of view. And off the field because we are having a very good relationship. We are giving very good things to the team and that's the most important thing. Starting position? You have to ask the coach. I don't know, I don't know."

The winger then praised the opponent: "Brugge has a tactic very similar to ours, that's not a problem, quite the opposite. I respect Tzolis. We have to stay focused, they have very good players. It's going to be a tough game for us," he concluded.
