Georgios Vagiannidis, the footballer who arrived at Sporting during this transfer window, was challenged to name the five greatest players of all time.
Georgios Vagiannidis was asked about the five greatest players of all time. The wing-back – who provided an assist in Greece’s big win – included the names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and went for a very attacking lineup with some big names.
“In goal, it would be Casillas, in defense Sergio Ramos, and then Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. For the attack, I’d choose Ronaldo Fenómeno,” answered the right-back who arrived at Alvalade this summer, in an interview with Betano Mag.
Despite the advanced age of both stars, the debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo remains heated, especially on the international stage. On Thursday night, the Argentine ‘number 10’ scored twice in a 3-0 win over Venezuela, in what may have been his last game for the Albiceleste.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to shine for the national team. The Portuguese ‘number 7’ has scored 138 goals for his country, numbers that make him the top scorer in the history of the National Team, as well as in international football. His next match for Portugal is this Saturday at 5 p.m., against Armenia.
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 every game he played, totaling 98 minutes and one assist.
