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

“The game went well for us. We had the opportunities we needed and scored five goals. That’s very important for our confidence. And after that, we just had to manage the game overall,” said the Greek international, speaking to SportingTV.

Ioannidis revealed that he is starting to feel "better and better on the pitch," but admitted: "Now I also need a little more time. I feel that I am improving and getting to know my teammates better. That’s why I give my all to help the team.”

“That 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 youngsters who made their debut in the match: “It was fantastic from all of them. All these young players deserve the best. They did very well tonight, helped us a lot. They have to keep working like this and I think the future is bright for them and that more and more will come to help us. I am very happy and satisfied to see them shine.”
