Luis Suárez gets a sly dig from Sporting stalwart | OneFootball

Luis Suárez has been warned that he is not the main penalty taker chosen by Rui Borges. Despite being called upon to take the first penalty for the Lions against Moreirense, Morten Hjulmand is the first in the hierarchy of Sporting's coach.

According to information revealed by Record newspaper, despite these recent events, the captain of the green and whites will continue to be the first choice for penalties. Furthermore, the 'number 42' will still have the final say on who takes each of these moments.

That is, even though the Danish international is Sporting's 'official taker', everything will depend on his analysis at each moment of the game and according to the team's own context, being able to choose another teammate for the task.

This is how Hjulmand chose to give the ball to Luis Suárez for the first penalty of the match against Moreira de Cónegos. The captain felt that the Colombian forward needed the confidence, as he had already wasted some opportunities during the game. The second ended up being Pote. It's worth remembering that, already in the third round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against Arouca, Hjulmand had chosen to give the ball to Suárez, so that he could have the chance to score his first goal for Sporting.

This season, with the Sporting shirt, Morten Hjulmand - valued at 50 million euros - has participated in eight matches. The captain of the green and whites was a starter in all the matches played by the Lions, having scored one goal in 700 minutes of play.

Sporting will be back on the field next Saturday, September 27, against Estoril, in a match for the seventh round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Ian Cathro will be played at 8:30 pm, at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, the opponent's stronghold.
