Unhappy at Sporting, Ioannidis takes steps to turn things around | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis wants to be a starter for Sporting. The forward has been doing everything possible to gain more confidence from Rui Borges, who has also been honing the 'number 89' of the green and whites for better integration with the team, before being launched into the starting eleven.

According to information advanced by Record newspaper, Ioannidis shows up at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy earlier than the usual training of Sporting, in order to get some extra work done, focusing on improving his performance.

On the other hand, Rui Borges has been training Ioannidis with some peculiarities. The Hellenic has been tested on the left, in Pote's place, but also in a system with two forwards, pairing with Luis Suárez - a situation that could be an option throughout the season.

The same source states that the integration process of Ioannidis - who made history at Sporting - is almost complete, as the house he bought in Portugal is ready to live in. The player will move permanently, and will be visited by Georgios Vagiannidis, whom he has known for several seasons.

This season, with the Sporting jersey, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 15 million euros – has played three matches. The 25-year-old Greek international forward has played 62 minutes, and has already scored a goal with the green and white stripes.
