The story behind his recent loan move to Series B side Lecce. The owner sees him as a regista, a role I don't think suits him best.
Tachtsidis is a slow player and a country like Italy suits him in that respect, but he needs to play higher up the pitch, not as a regista. So long as he manages regular minutes in Italy, even if it's only Series B, he can be a Greece player, but he will need to lobby to play as an ACM, a role in which he is better suited. I really think he will shine for Greece in that role. Fortounis would be a better option coming from the bench. He could play as a false 9. I don't rate Fortounis to give his all over 90 minutes. He's not a great player in his physical capacities, much like Ninis, although not nearly as injury prone, which means even as a false 9 he will not have physical prowess. The biggest reason to make the switch simply comes down to the fact that Tachtsidis is better in the air and better at pressing/winning back possession. We need all the men we can to press and fight for the ball.
