Hjulmand blasts teammates: Sporting lacked quality | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand was very critical of the Denmark National Team, even after they beat Greece 3-1, in a European qualification match for the 2026 World Cup. The Danish midfielder helped eliminate Vagiannidis and Ioannidis from the World Cup taking place next year.

However, Morten Hjulmand was not satisfied with the effort shown by the Denmark National Team. Despite a victory against a good Greek team, the captain of Sporting was very critical of his national team, right after the final whistle of the match.

"We were not at our level. The first 20 minutes were balanced. We were lucky they made such serious mistakes," Morten Hjulmand began to explain to journalists. The game reached halftime with a 3-0 score, which, by itself, was not enough for the Sporting captain.

The Sporting captain then recalled the difficulties created by Greece, at a time when Denmark should have had the game completely under control, something he did not like: "We did not have enough quality. We allowed a game to open up that should not have been opened."

"We can never allow Greece to get into the game as we did. Everyone in the stadium thought the game could be at risk if they made it 3-2," concluded Morten Hjulmand, who will now return to Sporting, where he faces a tough series of seven games in just 20 days.
