With Suárez in the mix, Ioannidis has a new plan lined up at Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges continues to test new ways to include Fotis Ioannidis in his style of play, and now, the Sporting coach is already rehearsing a more offensive possibility, with the Greek international alongside Luis Suárez at the front line - whom the Lions' management insisted on heavily.

The information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which reveals that the player is still going through an adaptation period at Alvalade and, therefore, has spent the last few weeks assimilating some basic movements of the 4x2x3x1 implemented in the green and white team.

Now, after having already assessed Ioannidis, Rui Borges realized the potential he has in his pair of forwards and, therefore, is convinced to test other tactical models, for which the player has shown himself to be available, even revealing a certain 'humility' in the process of learning the dynamics.

Recently, at the Academy, Ioannidis and Suárez have been tested together with the support of the wingers - however, this option will only be used in specific situations, such as when Sporting faces very closed teams and intends to overturn a result.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 15 million euros – has played four matches. The 25-year-old Greek international forward has played 78 minutes, during which he has already scored a goal with the green and white stripes.
