Sporting defeated Alverca 5-1 and is in the final four of the League Cup. Fotis Ioannidis started, scored, assisted, and at the end of the match explained that he needs "a little more time" to better adapt to the dynamics of the lions.

"The game went well for us. We had the opportunities we needed and scored five goals. That is very important for confidence. And then we just had to manage the game overall,” said the Greek international in statements to SportingTV.

Ioannidis revealed he is starting to feel "better and better on the field," but admitted: "Now I also need a little more time. I feel that I am improving and getting to know my teammates better. Therefore, I give my best to help the team."

"This is my goal, not just to score. The most important thing for me is that the team wins. If we win, the goals will come. And this is part of football, as you know," he said, also speaking about the 'kids' who debuted in the match: “It was fantastic from all of them. All these young players deserve the best. They performed very well tonight, helped us a lot. They have to keep working like this, and I think the future is bright for them and they will increasingly help us. I am very happy and satisfied to see them shine.”
