Vagiannidis furious after Greece v Denmark, Sporting star shines | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis furious with Greece - Denmark performance; Sporting’s full-back spoke to the press

Georgios Vagiannidis showed his dissatisfaction with his teammates. Last Monday, September 8, the Greek national team suffered a 3-0 defeat against Morten Hjulmand’s Denmark, and the collective performance of the Hellenics prompted protests from the Sporting full-back.

“A lot of things went wrong from start to finish. We’re going to be more serious from now on. There’s a lot I could say... These are the teams we have to compete with and focus is a big factor,” said the ‘number 13’ of the Lions in statements to the local press.

“That was the main reason. We didn’t play the game we should have with the ball at our feet. We were tired, we didn’t have a clear mind. Nothing is lost. It was a blow that hurt all of us, but the next two games will speak for themselves,” concluded Georgios Vagiannidis.

It’s worth remembering that last Monday’s Greece - Denmark match was marked by a 5.2-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale that shook the city of Athens. The earthquake was felt moments after the final whistle of the match that pitted Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis against Morten Hjulmand.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 8 million euros - has played in three matches. The green and white full-back came off the bench in all the games he played, totaling 98 minutes and one assist.
