Sporting CP has developed a specific plan to manage the two forwards in their attack, the Colombians Suárez and Ioannidis, under the guidance of coach Rui Borges.
The Colombian Suárez is now in the "pole position" to occupy the starting forward position in the team, having gained favorability in the dispute for the main position in the attack.
However, the Greek Ioannidis will also be quite used throughout the season, not being relegated to a secondary role in the Lisbon team.
Rui Borges' plan involves greater rotation between the two forwards, aiming to avoid increased physical fatigue that could compromise the team's performance throughout the competition.
