Kochorashvili set to face Sporting fan favourite | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili is part of Georgia's call-up list for the next two World Cup 2026 qualification matches, the player found out last Thursday, October 2nd. The Lions' player will face off against Pedro Porro - also called up by the Spanish national team.

Willy Sagnol has thus called up the green and white midfielder for the clashes against Spain (October 11, in Elche) and Turkey, which takes place later, on October 14, in Izmit and, in this way, will be missing from Rui Borges' work during the next FIFA break.

It's worth remembering that, as Leonino exclusively reports, Sporting's coach demands more from Kochorashvili. Rui Borges is not 100% satisfied with the performances of the Georgian reinforcement, believing that he has not yet shown his best version since he walked through the doors of Alvalade.

Giorgi Kochorashvili's performance has already been a topic of conversation for Rui Borges. In the preview for the last league match, against Estoril, the Sporting coach made it clear that he demands more from his 'number 14': "Of course we expect more from him, he also wants to give more. Kochorashvili has a lot of room to improve, because we know everything he is capable of".

In his first season at Sporting, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at 6 million euros - has already played nine matches with the green and white striped team: seven in the Liga Portugal Betclic, one in the Champions League and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.
