Sporting’s Greek star fuming after defeat to Hjulmand’s Denmark | OneFootball

Following a crushing defeat of Greece against Denmark (3-0), Georgios Vagiannidis couldn't hide his dissatisfaction. The new addition to Sporting, who played the full 90 minutes against Morten Hjulmand's team, even mentioned that the team's heads weren't in the right place.

“Many things were 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.

“The main reason was this. We didn't play the game we should have with the ball at our feet. We were tired, our minds weren't clear. 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's worth remembering that last Monday's Greece - Denmark match was marked by a 5.2 Richter scale earthquake that shook the city of Athens. The earthquake was felt moments after the final whistle of the match that put Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis and Morten Hjulmand head to head.

This season, with Sporting's jersey, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 8 million euros - participated in three matches. The green and white's full back was a substitute in all the matches he played, accumulating 98 minutes and one assist.
