Following a resounding defeat for Greece against Denmark (3-0), Georgios Vagiannidis could not hide his dissatisfaction. The Sporting reinforcement, who played the full 90 minutes against Morten Hjulmand’s team, even mentioned that the squad was not in the right mindset.
“Many things went wrong from start to finish. We will be more serious from now on. There’s a lot I could say... These are the teams we have to compete with and concentration 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 is worth recalling 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 tremor was felt moments after the final whistle of the match that saw Georgios Vagiannidis, Fotis Ioannidis, and Morten Hjulmand face off.
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.
